Not a remarkable or memorable episode, but I just watched it again and I liked it. I don't know why this particular episode never really stuck with me as a kid, because it is quite fun. Spiders always make for great villains. Its an animal that people see as undeniably evil, and the sight of webbing inside of a dark area always makes for a spooky setting. I think almost every action show from 1980-1995 had some kind of a spider monster or villian for the heroes to defeat. (heck even Spider-Man had Venom and the Spider Slayer Robots) Anyways, fun episode.

Another story by Stephen Perry. It's not a stand-out and I have a few issues with it. For one thing, it's not one of the better animated episodes. Spidera could have been scarier-looking like the lesser spiders were. I didn't mind the talking spider that snared Lion-O, but how did it know who Lion-O was though they had never met? Are Third Earth spiders telepathic? And I think the remaining 'Cats should have known not to drive the ThunderTank headlong into a giant web. Spider webs do tend to trap things, after all.
