I never really liked this episode that much, mostly because I really disliked those eps in which, in order to highlight one specific TC power/ability/development/growth/etc, they make the others look weak/silly/easy-to-get-caught/etc.
In part yes. But what I really mean is that the whope ep point, for me, was to show Cheetara’s fear and how she overcame them, and for that the others were beaten so easily. I know you have a point, and that the time was short and all that, but still.
There’s a difference, in that the effects of the helmet were unshakeable until Wizz-Ra put it back on, whereas in Queen Of Eight Legs (and arguably The Mumm-Ra Berbil and Dream Master), the spell was beaten by outside influences.
Even though the capsules slow down the ageing process considerably, some ageing does take place. Jaga said that even in suspension, he wouldn’t live long enough to reach Third Earth with them.
