Peter Lawrence Reviewed by: Purrsia  Snarf comes back to an empty Lair, and is plenty freaked out. The Lair was empty, that is, save for Robear Bill. The Berbil informs Snarf that the others went out, Cheetara was left behind and then summoned...and none have returned. An alarm goes off harkening the arrival of the Mrs. Unicorn Keeper. Once let in, she goes on to explain how each ThunderCat was captured by the Mutants. The Mutants started by harrassing and herding the unicorns into the Forest of Silence. The Unicorn Keeper ran to seek the aid of the Tcats. They decide to split up, but to meet back in an hour. The rest of what the Unicorn Keeper knew of their fate came from what the creatures of the forest told her. This time, Lion-O is trapped first. In the forest of silence, the Sword's warning went unheard as he approached an abandoned Nose Diver. Like a boob, he mounts the thing. The Mutants had it rigged to strap him to it and fly him back to Castle Plundarr. Tygra is captured next, just outside the Forest, near the Living Ooze. He's intrigued by a maze of light with carved Tygra heads...never once questioning why such a contraption is out in the middle of BFE. Logic...who needs it! Not Tygra. He wanders into the maze and is trapped within. Panthro had a similar trap waiting for him, except his was like a giant steel golf ball with a lovely pair of nun chucks within. When he went inside to take a gander at the chucks, he was trapped as well. The kittens, flying above the forest on their boards, were drawn into the Castle by a tractor beam. Lastly, Cheetara was lured out of her Lair duty by a fake cat's signal, sent up by the Mutants. She ran right into the net trap they had waiting for her. Snarf declared, "We're fucked. I'm drinking all their beer." He, Robear Bill and the Unicorn Keeper race to the Lair's kitchen...nah, just kidding. Snarf was kinda down on himself, unsure that he had what it takes to save his friends. Then Robear Bill encouraged him to use his talents. Bake a pie and throw it at the Mutants? Beat them with a broom? No, I know! Follow them around and *nag* them all day until they give up the 'cats. Damn, it's none of the above. Snarf actually decides to use a "talent" of his which consists of an ability to communicate with the critters of the world. After summoning a bat, on which he slaps a saddle (don't ask), Snarf heads to Castle Plundarr to spy. Of course, the villians would just happen to be gloating and in the course of doing so reveal that the 'cats are being held at the Black Pyramid. I particularly enjoyed Vultureman's jab at Snarf, declaring him a "useless ThunderCat nursemaid." Hahahahhaha. Now Snarf is more determined than ever to prove his mettle. Once at the Black Pyramid, Snarf enlists the help of another critter of nature, this time a spider. While the spider makes its way past the bandage-bound ThunderCats on its way to Mumm-Ra's sarcophogus, Snarf gets a diamond billed bird to peck a hole in the Pyramid. The hole is so Snarf can reach in and trip the mechanism to open the Pyramid door. Meanwhile, the spider is weaving a web around the sarcophogus, apparently to seal the mummy in...must be some dern strong web, heh heh. That scene got me thinking about Spiderman...I mean, if the gig is his dna mutated with a spiders, shouldn't he shoot those webs outta his ass and not his wrists? Er, okay, so I got sidetracked there. Snarf bounds inside, frees Lion-O and retrieves the Sword of Omens from where Mumm-Ra hung it as an ornament. That stupid mummy. He shoulda killed them all and destroyed the Sword. Doesn't anyone know how to be ruthlessly evil anymore? By the way, Mummsie was defeated quickly and soundly when Lion-O showed him his evil reflection. Didn't learn there, either. Sheesh. "We'll Bully the Berbils" "Terrorize the Tabbots" "Whip the Wollos" "Smash the Snowmen" -- The Mutants, reveling in their short-lived victory and, apparently, alliteration. comment system disabled temporarily thanks to spam happy assholes!
