Episode

 * THURSTON’s NAME WAS MENTIONED!!!!!!
 * Scar finally being defeated.
 * I love how Simba knows about Jasiri, and is completely fine with her.
 * I love the flashback of living Mufasa and Scar, although I have some issues with Mufasa’s design, but I won’t get into that here.
 * Most of the songs were pretty good. I loved Fuli’s first lyrics in We will Defend.
 * I love how much faith Simba and Mufasa both have in Kion.
 * It was really really sweet of Ono to ask Anga to take his place, and I loved her reaction.
 * Kion finding a new place for Ono on the Guard was really sweet.
 * I loved how Nala said “That’s my boy!”
 * I really love how concerned Simba, Nala, and Kiara were for Kion, and how concerned Anga was for Ono.
 * All the animals (including ones from Season 1) saying goodbye to the Guard was really sweet.
 * Mtoto and Beshte’s goodbye, and Mtoto’s reaction was heartwarming.
 * Kiara and Kion’s goodbye was so sweet.
 * I love how Simba and Nala nuzzled each other while the Guard was preparing to leave.

Character Appearances

 * Makini!!!!!!!!!!
 * Anga!!!!!!!!!!
 * Simba!!!!!!!!!
 * Nala!!!!!!
 * Kiara!!!!!
 * Mufasa!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Hadithi!!!
 * Jasiri!!!!!!!
 * Ma Tembo!!!!!

Cons

 * Mufasa’s living design was terrible. Enough said.
 * It wouldn’t have killed Timon and Pumbaa to say goodbye to their nephew, or Basi to say goodbye to his son.
 * So it took three seasons for Thurston’s name to be mentioned.

Biggest con for me is knowing this will likely be the last time we see any of TLG characters again except the ones introduced in the following episodes and Kion's team. At least the last time for awhile.
