I really enjoyed today's episode; going to get a few things that bugged me out of the way before getting to what I liked

1.) No appearance or acknowledgement of Zira and her pride

2.) The Guard meeting Scar felt anticlimactic

3.) Roar spam

I have to say that I really liked this episode's tone; I'm a sucker for the darker episodes, so this episode wins me over on that front alone. Beyond the episode being darker than usual, I also liked the variety of villains, the instrumental score, and Scar's plot (oh hey, an assassination attempt that nearly worked!); regarding the titular "scorpion's sting", though I knew that Simba was going to be fine by the end of the episode (he's alive in Simba's Pride).

All in all, though I didn't find the episode to be fantastic, I think it was really good regardless.
