I spoiled myself a little (kept watching clips here and there), but this was another solid episode.

Ajabu was a great new addition to the cast, and I really hope we'll see him back every now and then. His shy character was quite interesting, and well done.

Makucha was amazing as a villain. My only gripe is that he gave up too easily (he chased him for so long, then he gave up because the Guard was in the way? He could outrun all of them if he wanted to, I don't think they would have been a real problem for him if Makucha was that persistent). But hey - a show has only a limited amount of time to squeeze in the story, so it's fine. Especially since, for a change, he wasn't really defeated - he gave up himself.

I was fifty-fifty on the song. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I did enjoy it for what it was. I would LOVE the background instrumental to it though, that was really wonderful.

Also, hearing Twiga's voice outside of her performance in TKC was amazing! I was honestly beginning to wonder if we would ever hear her voice normally. Here's hoping she gets more lines soon.

Simba and Nala's brief appearance was great too. I liked seeing them grant their blessing before just throwing in another member of the Pride Lands.

Finally, I loved seeing more Thurston. His lines were fantastic, I got a good laugh from them.
