12. The Doomgaze

Reviewed by: Purrsia



At the start of this show, we get to hear the voice of the ASOE, which suspiciously sounds just like Panthro, heehee. Anyhow, the evil spirits instruct Mummsie to summon the evil beauty, Ta-She, and learn the secret of the power of the Doomgaze. Trouble is, Ta-She is trapped on a ship that drifts for eternity in the Time Warp Prison. Lucky for her, Mumms knows the way to get her out. All need be done is gather a tuft of cheetah's hair, a Berbil's tear, and a shoe from an enchanted unicorn. Then, find a hero to take her place in the Time Warp Prison.

So the ThunderCats are minding their own business when Lion-O notices a weird black cloud heading for the Berbil village. Through the Eyes of the Sword he discovers it's no ordinary cloud, but rather a floating jelly-fish type beast. The Tcats arrive at the village in time to see Ro-Ber-Belle get bear-napped by the man-o-war cloud. Cheetara is fast enought to follow the cloud but runs straight into a trap Slithe set so he could acquire a chunk of her hair. Meanwhile, Lion-O and Snarf run into Jackalman just as he is prying the shoe off an enchanted unicorn.

Deciding that something strange was afoot, Lion-O uses the Sword to see what the heck Mumm-Ra is up to this time. He and Cheetara venture separately to a stone henge-type place where Mumms was beginning the ceremony to summon Ta-She from her prison. Though Lion-O and Snarf arrive first, he's too captivated by Ta-She's evil beauty to be of much help to Ro-Ber-Belle as the baddies force her to cry.

Cheetara decides that she's going to take action and begins to kick Mutant ass one by one. Lion-O snaps out of his daze long enough to jump out and become the hero that will take Ta-She's place. Though Lion-O summons the others with the Sword, the signal disappears when Ta-She traps both Lion-O and Snarf in the doomgaze.

It looks like Lion-O has had it this time, except that when Ta-She tries to trap Cheetara in the dooomgaze, she gets a big surprise.
