Game: ThunderCat Trivia

Cartoons ThunderCats (1985)
1881

I’ll take your answer for “Garden of Delights”. In both “Mongor” and “Safari Joe” there is some mention of an interference that is affecting the sword’s “sight beyond sight” so that could explain why it does not warn Lion-O. In “Pumm-Ra” the sword was locked in the sword chamber until the “cat” is out of the bag (aren’t I funny?). “Monkian’s Bargain” is probably another good answer. Good job!

Oh and for the record, I was thinking of “The Telepathy Beam” where the sword doesn’t let Lion-O know when Panthro really is in trouble, and of course, Lion-O doesn’t even think to use it. Instead, he sends everyone off to search for him. I think they learned pretty early on that having the sword alert Lion-O was a hindrance to a lot of the stories they wanted to tell. Too bad they couldn’t develop a good reason to make it stop working rather than just ignoring that aspect of the sword’s power so often.

“The Mumm-Ra Berbil” is another answer here, and “Dream Master”.

Those were two other eps I thought of but didn’t mention because, well, there were too many already :wink: Also “Spitting Image” and “Superpower Potion”.

1884

Ok then, new question.

There’s one episode (at least one I can think of) were the original three Mutants appear, but one of them says no line at all (even more, appears mostly as an extra or a lacay to the other two). Which episode and Mutant is it?

1885

I’m going to guess Jackalman in “The Thunder-Cutter”.

1886

You got the Mutant but not the episode; at least not the one I had in mind. I’ll have to check it out unless someone corroborates it first :wink:

1887

I just checked “Thunder-Cutter” and Jackalman doesn’t appear; maybe that’s why you thought he had no lines in there. So, the question remains :slight_smile:

1888

He does appear at the end. When they’re massing to get Slithe out.

You’re right! But then, he gets a line there: “Wait! Look!”

1890

OK, I’ll guess at “Return To Thundera” then.

1891

Nope. He does speak in that one.

That makes me think. In that episode, when the Warbot rips off the Lair’s head and throws that liquid to the TCs, why didn’t Cheetara run faster to avoid it and leave teh Lair, and why didn’t Tygra turn invisible? (rethorical question… I know the answer lol).

1892

Is it “The Garden of Delights”?

1893

Nope. But hint you are somehow close.

1894

“Fireballs of Plun-Darr”?

That’s the one! The hint was it was -of course- a Tygra-centerted episode LOL. Jackalman appears but has no lines at all, almnost as if he was another Monkeyman or Reptileman that appears in that ep.

Your turn. Wily.

1896

Thanks TR! I had a feeling that it might be a Tygra-centric episode. :wink:

New question:

Name two episodes (other than “Eye of the Beholder”) which feature a fake Sword of Omens.

Great question, Wilycub!

Are you thinking of “Fond Memories” and “Return of the Thundercubs”?

Those two were exactly the ones I was thinking of! :thumbsup In both episodes, when Mumm-Ra transforms into Lion-O, he also manages to conjure up his own fake Sword of Omens. I guess he doesn’t believe in the whole “accessories sold separately” sales gimmick! :wink:

Your turn, sir!

Ok, new question -

Name two episodes written by William Overgard where only a single new character is introduced and said character(s) are never seen again in other episodes.

1900

The Book Of Omens is one, with Pyron. The Jade Dragon with Hachiman’s horse Dogi-Kage for the other? Not sure if it counts.
