If you haven’t been watching the new Thundercats on Cartoon Network, you should check it out. It’s part of a tasty Saturday morning lineup, sandwiched between Ben 10: Ultimate Alien at 9/8c and Green Lantern: The Animated Series at 10/9c, and rounded out by Young Justice at 10:30/9:30c. Okay, I’ll admit it, I was sceptical, but I watch ’em every week. Yes I’m hooked, and I’m proud. Saturday mornings are cool.

As Lion-O and Pumyra try to evade Mumm-Ra and his forces in the mines of Mount Plundarr in an effort to keep the Sword of Plundarr out his hands, we flash back in time and discover its origin … and its relationship with the Sword of Omens. Catch the all new episode Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT on Cartoon Network!
