New episides need to be added to seriesguide
i need to know when the next epsiode of star vs the forces of evil
"STARCO" NOTHING BEATS IT EXCEPT ITSELF
Best intro ever :blush: It could have been shorter but it was fun to watch :ok_hand:
actually really unexpected, i was sosososo pleasantly surprised! for something that started off mostly as shenanigans, it delved pretty deep into some more serious themes and i found myself getting pretty emotional throughout. a very refreshing watch!
I don't normally like romance, especially in "kid" shows - but for some reason, this one was... different?
I really like the cuteness and the weirdness and the OST! omg
This show is the proof that cartoon tv series can have amazing, funny and emotional story. I will miss this show so much and cannot believe that now when I finished all seasons it is just over. Thank you creators for laugh but also for tears. I love this show.
Star is my favorite cartoon show and it showed itself incredible when I was just looking for anything animated to watch. And just for curiosity, am I the only one who actually shipped Tomco???
Star is one of the best drawings of today! the director is incredible and knows how to do mt well what she does.
Star Butterfly is my favorite Disney Princess.
star is absolutely adorable, and i love how the villain is a birdy!
I think this is my favourite episode so far. I love how the writers have successfully fit good comedy inside a Star Trek framework, without devaluing what Trek is about at all. The sarcastic Vulcan salute was probably the high point, but I also loved O'Connor's ascension with the smiling koala. And Boimler's com still being open when called to the bridge. And the executive poker game. And what the holodeck is really used for. Damn it, everything worked here.
Mariner is still my favourite character and I'm glad to see her needing to work along side her mother and the fact that it allowed us to become clearer on aspects of how Mariner can fit in on the ship. I still am looking forward to more time spend with Tendi and Rutherford, though. Tendi did get quite a bit to do here, of course, and it fleshed out her character considerably.
"Sen-soars." Fantastic callback.
This gives me straight Portal vibes. Like what Aperture would do to it’s employees to retain their secrets.
OK, three episodes in, I really like the POTENTIAL of this series.... (here it comes) BUT, (ahhhh) unless the writers have a long redemption story arc planned for Ensign Mariner, (which there were hints of in this one) they need to dial her annoying rebel level back below 11, or, at least avoid getting into the (current) rut of starting and ending each episode by showing how much of a bullying childish brat she is, fully taking advantage of her "privilege", knowing she is the Captains progeny, therefore, no one's going to shove her out of an airlock. Just my opinion......
Nicely entertaining episode, with several hat tips to, and direct mentions of TOS, complete with shirtless Commander Ransom filling in for Kirk while fighting a seemingly physically superior alien, and in the end contemplating an inappropriate (in more ways than one) relationship with a subordinate. (although, in the #metoo era, it could be an interesting exploration of that dynamic)
Laser graffiti removal....., coming soon to the Portland, or Seattle, or NYC area soon!
Important Safety Tip: Klingon's are NOT "all about that Bass"!
......STOP..., Buffertime!!!
This episode really gets into some complicated issues and nobody seems to have a good answer just like the real world. Can't wait to see how the finale plays out. One of the most thought provoking superhero shows of all time.
deep down I feel the season has gone a bit too quickly I hope they renew and do a slower pace for me it's the X-Men+Magneto such an important character to their story of fighting for equality which is applicable in any part of this world.I just hope they renew and continue coz the story is good and a lot..
Goddammit... This show just doesn't stop. Everybody wrong, everybody right. I understand motivation of every single character here.
Magneto be spitting facts throughout this series!
“Gods abandon those who believe them”
Well, daaaaamn!
Also, extra credit for ‘Morph Smash!’ and the sound of a strike when Jean smacks down Mr Sinister in the bowling alley.
[8.8/10] So scary and so cool. I liked just about everything about this. The character designs were great -- especially the frightened but helpful monkey folk and imposing angularity of the were-bats. The animation was outstanding, especially in very physical moments like when the were-bats are straining to lift Fang off the ground. The editing is superb, with sequences like Fang trying to ascend the spider’s tower really conveying his devotion. And the action is outstanding, with some really great fights between our heroes and the raptors, the werebats, and the spider.
But what I like most is how the episode manages to convey the emotions of all these situations without using a single line of dialogue. You get the monkey folk’s fear of the were-bats and appreciation for Spear’s help in their franticness and returning the favor. You get Fang’s determination without how many times she tries to scale the tower. You get Spear’s devotion to his friend when he goes to such lengths to save Fang from the Spider’s grasp. And you get the tension and desperation when the two are racing away from the raptors and later from the were-bats.
That said, a close second is how resourceful and clever our heroes are here. Fang playing dead in order to get the were-bats to airlift him up to the tower is a smart move. Spear using a dead triceratops’ horn to fell the giant spider, and then using its web-line to repel down the side of the tower is some quick thinking. And the way the two of them manage to shake off the were-bats by getting them crosswise with the raptors they were skirmishing with in the opening is a tremendously clever and satisfying way to get away from both sets of attackers.
All-in-all, this one is great visually, full of smart moves, and even rife with emotion given the stakes and friendship at play. A new high water mark!
That was spectacular. They spent the whole night fighting.
By the way, what a good artist it is spear...
The subversion with them attacking the slightly sympathetic mammoth (it's nature after all, natural selection) is well done. And them going through with killing it? Another good decision, nice. And the respect paid aftwards? Well done. I have mixed feelings on the ending regarding the comprehension of the mammoths and them just leaving Spear and Fang like that, but it's only a nitpick, and the episode was a good one. I also like how we're in a wintery scene this episode, contrasted to the jungle in previous episodes. I like in both settings you really get a feel for them, the wind in this episode and the sound of bugs in the jungle.
[8.5/10] My favorite episode yet! (I know we’re only three episodes in, but still!) I love how this episode constantly changes your perspective. It initially makes you feel bad for the poor wooly mammoth that’s separated from its herd and slowing down in the bitter cold. You want help and relief for the poor creature and then...it’s attacked by our heroes.
That makes things really conflicted, because you know that spear and Fang need to survive, and that they’re as separate as anyone out here. But it’s still pathos-ridden (and thrilling) when they go toe-to-toe with the patchy, missing-tusked mastodon and slowly take it down. The sadness of it is added to by Spear’s near-reverence for the creature, not wanting to cause it more pain in its final moments but still hunger-bound to finally take out the life reflected in its eyes.
What follows is sweet and sad, as Spear and Fang work together to make use of what they can from the mammoth’s caras. Their fur attire to protect them in the cold, their bone and tusk sled full of meat, and their curling up together in the show makes you feel for them just as much, communicating the way in which everyone’s just trying to survive out here.
Then they find a blessed ave, and we get a tragic memory of Spear hunting with his child, recalling once again what he’s lost and cannot fully mourn amid the constant need for survival out in this world. You feel for Spear in that moment, since every episode has featured him still grieving the loss of his children.
Then the rest of the mammoths attack, and you feel for them too! There’s something so sad when they surround the corpse of their fallen brother and clearly feel the loss themselves. It’s frightening when they knock into the cave, trying to avenge the member of their tribe and take down the killers who ended his life. But you feel for both sides. You feel the need on both sides of that equation, and it makes the skirmish harrowing all around.
I couldn’t help but flinch when Fang gets caught between two charging mastodons. It’s terrifying seeing Spear scamper around beneath giant four-legged stomps that threaten to crush him. The ensuing fight is the best of the series so far, full of emotion and visual virtuosity all around.
But I like what happens next even more. The whole thing is resolved when Spear gives up the fallen mammoth’s tooth to its mother(?). There’s a sense of the two of them as kindred spirits, parents who’ve both suffered the loss of their children and need some kind of closure or completeness to be able to move on from such devastation.
We see that for the mammoths. There’s power in the group of them swaying and almost chanting around their fallen brother’s dead body. There’s pathos in its parent caressing its tusk during the makeshift ceremony. It’s heightened by the knowledge the modern day elephants really do seem to mourn their lost compatriots, helping communicate the feeling that this community has lost one of their own and is paying tribute to them, honoring them, as part of this ritual.
It’s striking how a wordless episode manages to convey so much emotion and feeling, without turning either side of a bloody battle into heroes or villains. I can only hope that Primal manages to maintain this level of virtuosity throughout.
Holy Shit! this show is so fucking emotional. I knew it was going to be bad but i'd have no idea it was going to be this crazy

[7.5/10] I like the elemental story that this one tells. There’s something brotherly (siblingly? I guess?) about the way Spear and Fang interact. They jockey for the same prey. They get mad at one another for snoring and other sleeping habits. There even seems to be a competition in the “going to the bathroom” department. The two were always going to be an uneasy partnership, but as competition for sustenance increases, their potential discord seems to come to a head.
That is, until they’re both in mortal danger. That’s what seems the most familial about this whole thing. They’re growing at one another, maybe even on the verge of a fight, until some external threat emerges and they close ranks, work together, and make it out alive. I’l admit, I didn’t love the animation in this one as much as I did in the series premiere, but it’s still cool to see how quickly things switch from “We’re about to throw down” to “We have to work together to survive.”
The ensuing, titular river of snakes and the plummet down the waterfall doesn’t make a ton of sense, but this was always an exaggerated universe so it works. The collaboration between our resident caveman and dinosaur, and the gesture of Fang returning Spear’s weapon, ends up being really sweet and heartening, especially when they’re hunting boars and stopping stakes as a well-matched team in the final frame.
Overall, this is a simple but effective and emotional bit of character storytelling, with action that’s a little less engrossing than before, but still good.
Instead of continuing the awesomeness at the end of the first episode, here they give us a bit of a subversion. We're not doing epic stuff, we're doing the normal stuff like hunting and a get to know you a bit of the characters. Which is fine if it's done well.
Instead, they have the caveman on the back foot the entire time, which i think is a mistake. They also have a lot of animosity between the t-rex and caveman, which i think is also a mistake. But it's ok, i can roll with subversion. If only they actually followed through on it. By that i mean the stone man killing the t-rex, that would have been a nice and logical subversion, given how much animosity was between the two. But they don't follow through on it.
Instead they give us "Here's a new enemy and circumstances for them both. They defeat it. Now they both like each more and things are fine now"
The abilities are also kinda not making much sense now, it's what the plot demands.
But i still enjoyed the episode and can still roll with the partial subversion. It makes sense in the end that they team up now to hunt.
