Warning: Fullfor the ThunderCats Season 1 finale follow...

While " Between Brothers " wasn't quite as exciting as "Journey to the Tower of Omens," it was still a mostly satisfying end for the first season of the Cats reboot. And who out there didn't love Cheetara finally picking Tygra over Lion-O ? I don't think any of us are the type to really get deeply invested in love triangles, but the fact that Tygra was the better cat, despite some dark jealousy issues, made it a bit aggravating whenever Cheetara flirted with Lion-O during the season.Plus, there really aren't other fish in the sea, right? Cheetara's it. She's the only option. So the whole story becomes a little more vital. But hell, that's just me trying to justify the fact that I'm clearly Team Tygra."You took the crown! You took her!" Tygra screamed as he and Lion-O did battle inside the trippy Astral Plane. Very telling that Tygra mentioned Cheetara after the the crown too. I also really liked that Cheetara took some of the blame here, admitting that she should have been clearer with her feelings. Plus the callback to last week's flashback, with Cheetara as a kid waiting outside the Cleric's Temple and the fact that she still wears the heart of the flower Tygra gave her around her neck. So, um, yeah! She could have been a bit less wishy-washy, that's for sure.Grune, despite running away from Panthro for an entire season, decided to actually fight Panthro one on one - which is way more in keeping with the Grune who tore out his own fang to kill Spidera when he and Panthro were trapped in her lair (Sweet Spidera shout out too!). Panthro, after a heated contest, came out on top and it only cost him...both his freakin' arms! And he was just like "Yeah, I lost my arms. Best. Battle. Ever." Man, even Lion-O was like "You'll be fine." Wow, those Berbils better build Panthro some badass robo-arms. With, like, rockets that shoot out and s***. Mumm-Ra wasn't quite in top form in this chapter, but at least we did get to see him get all "Ancient Spirits of Evil" one last time. Likewise, the Astral Plane stuff, along with the practical application of "looking at the big picture" was a little too scatterbrained and the revelation was a bit too convenient, but I liked the bitter reveal of seeing Tygra actually try to kill Lion-O when the two of them were children.In closing, I enjoyed the fact that the Lizards and their Mechs were able to destroy Thundera, but now they fail trying to take down the Elephant Village. And of course the Elephants had to redeem themselves by finally fighting back and giving the Lizards a whooping. The final scene, with Lion-O watching Tygra and Cheetara kiss was good on its own, but a strange way to actually end the episode. It seemed like more of a cliffhanger that you'd see on The CW. Although, part of me did what Lion-O to say "Whiskers!" one last time since they seemed to have given up on that phrase during the second half of the season.
