@cattlebattle: I do know the definition of filler. I think this episode was filler cause it didn't do much for the plot of the story. It deepened characters but still didn't do much for the plot except they revealed that Kit and Kat's mother is still alive and they ran away. But hey, it's my opinion if you disagree so be it.

Btw, I checked in for some new info on the rumors and some new facts about the series has surfaced. Toy sales are up for 1. And the ratings since moving to Saturday mornings for the show have more than doubled. So definitely good things.

I liked the episode, despite what I thought before I watched it, 
 
btw...does anyone actually know the correct definition of filler.....I am not saying I do, but I would figure since this episode had development of centric characters, I wouldn't call it that...filler always makes me think of the Samurai Champloo episode where they review their adventures thus far...or the episode before the Last Airbender finale, you know episodes that recap or have nothing to do with the central story arc

I was thinking you'd give me an: "You should if you...." type answer.

@ReVamp: Do you really think I won't have a biased opinion on that question? Yes you should.

The real question, is whether I should be watching this series. Sidenote: I hate Kit and Kat.

@CaioTrubat: Thank you.

This is the best episode so far even though its filler doesn't necessarily mean is a bad thing. This episode showed the Thunderkittens had a reason to be in the story, what their whole deal. I didn't like them at first because it seemed like they are just along for the ride. What I really liked was Panthro and Cheetara teaching them how to be useful. Especially Cheetara because for once she is not the love interest, she is also the mother figure for the kittens. Most times character development needs precedence over the plot for us to care in the first place. The same thing for Native Son.

Nice review GS :-)
