There’s a lot to say about this episode. And a lot of it’s alrwady been said.

I guess I can talk about the last half of the episode, as that was what made it a great one in my opinion.

I liked how Simba’s decision to keep silent ultimately caused him to lose faith from the other animals, even if some of them understood why. And I like how the leaders were taking responsibility for their herds and debaiting if the Pridelands would be safe or not. Finally I like the part where Kion was reflecting on everything and talked with Mufasa

All of these are great because they are realistic reactions to such a problem and a seriousness the show doesn’t tackle very much.

I should also mentioned that I liked the fight with the Outlanders. And while Timon and Pumba were a bit dense in not helping, since we know they can fight hyenas, I will argue their song helped encourage the others.

Overall, one of the best episodes period. Maybe my new favorite
