World Premiere, Today @ 11:00 AM

Episode 1: Perithon!
Original Airdate: October 31st, 2009​
Episode Description: With the M?arrillians defeated, the Allied Tribes celebrate the new spirit of unity by staging a race through Perim. Though it?s supposed to be a friendly competition, it quickly becomes clear that each Tribe wants one of their own Creatures to win ... at any cost!​
 
Weak first episode in my opinion and I am a little upset about it because I was looking so forward to it since the last season ended. I didn't like the racing storyline being the reason why the Underworld/Overworld decided to go at eachother again and the whole overall storytelling in this episode just felt extremely off to me, I did like the sneak peak for next weeks episode though, so maybe things will go back to normal and the new series will turn out good.

I was also hoping for a new intro to the show, but they used the one from the last season, which is fine I suppose, I just wanted something new and exciting is all.
 
Like I said, all the king's horses and all the King's men...:sad: Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Jycella next week. I saw her profile, and she is everything her sister isn't: nice.
 
While it does give the feeling that things are happening in Perim off screne too it was weird seeing Hammerdoom in his Danian form when the last time he was in the show he was an Underworlder. Sure people who play the card game or people who spoil themselves like me would not be surprised by it but what about people who just watch the show. It would be weird even for a cameo appearance.

As for the episode itself well I tend to hate racing episodes of shows and this was no exception and it was a poor way to restore the statis que.
 
Pretty good first episode of Secrets of the Lost City, I thought it was a little slow to start but it picked up and made for a good episode. With Chaotic in premiers now it makes Saturday mornings a very important time of the week for me again. :D
 
I just hope that despite the Perithon that some of the people of each tribe will stay friends with each other.Three more days before we see Jycella!

Episode 2: Worlds Apart
Original Airdate: November 7th, 2009​
Episode Description: Confusion turns to shock for everyone when Krystella?s ?goody-goody? twin sister Jycella comes to Chaotic. And when their sibling rivalry erupts, Klay suggests a novel way of settling them: a Chaotic match.
 
I like Jycella. She was totally nice in her first appearance, and a better dresser than her sister. I hope we see more of her and see whether she like Peyton or not. As for the design, the whole point of twins is to look the same, so the designers may be trying that. I feel sorry for Krystella's folks from what she said: Skipping school, bullying 5th graders, and flaming grandma on the web. I have a name for a jerk who is also a girl: jerkette.:mad: I was more fascinated with Aivenna and Nivenna's story. Twins separated at birth; one in the Overworld, and the other in the Underworld. What tribe did the originally came from? Who were their folks? How did Takinom and Intress find them? I hope those questions will be answered in upcoming eps. Maybe the 12 ep thing might be the first season of the whole show of Secrets of the Lost City. I can hope can't I?
 
I think 4Kids should just focus on the events in Perim and the creatures there. Just focus on the creatures and give them a great story. The whole Chaotic battle is getting pointless to me because Tom and the humans aren't fighting for a purpose as how Ash from pokemon was, Tai and the Digidestined were in Digimon, and Yugi was in Yugioh. These Kids are just there standing doing nothing. These Chaotic Creatures are really cool for them just to be standing around. They need to pick up this story a lot better.
 
I would like much more focus on Perim than on the kids playing the game too. The story about Aivenna and Nivenna was much more interesting than the game that they were playing. Though, in the show's defense, most of the things Tom and his friends did during last season was there to help save each other and Perim. The main reason I think that they focus more on the humans is also to promote the game itself, considering that's the point of this show too.

As for the episode, it was pretty interesting. Krystella and Jycella really looked too similar, in terms of their clothing, but it makes sense considering that the writers wanted people to mix them up at first. Jycella obviously was much nicer than Krystella and I found that refreshing. The only female characters we see are Sarah and Krystella. Having another nice girl on the show was a nice change of pace. As I mentioned earlier, Aivenna and Nivenna's story was much more interesting. Although, it did make me wonder how they are now with the war between the tribes being over and where exactly are parents in Perim.

I knew that the match was fixed up. Every shot of Clay gave it away. At least Krystella was fair with Jycella at the end. While it was nice that they don't seem to complete hate each other, I hope that we'll see more of Jycella and less of Krystella in the future. Even though the group of main characters is fairly large already, it would be kind of cool to have a second girl in the group. Especially since Sarah rarely battles.
 
You and me both on Jycella, Light Lucario. As for the humans, there are times when they help. Remember when Tom saved Mezzmar on the second episode. Besides, they try not to interfere for fear of getting permanently coded. My point is that there are times when the humans help and see the creatures as living things. Speaking of which, anyone see sneak peeks to next week's ep. I want to know what caused Ulmar's robots to go ballistic and make Chaor do the same.:p I hope we see how Aivenna and Nivenna got separated soon.

Episode 3: Kickin' Bot
Original Airdate: November 14th, 2009​
Episode Description: It?s good news/bad news time for Chaor. The good news: Ulmar?s brand new giant robots are bigger and badder than ever. The bad news: they?re totally out of control!
 
That may be.
but some of the story's may be a little too Dark for a kids show, And they can get away with more being vague. plus they have fight's to the death all the time(Without actual Death), and don't forget this is based off of an actual Card game and they want people to buy their product.
 
They can sell more cards is they focus on the game aspect of the show though, so bet on seeing a mix of action/adventure and card play in the show.
 
Eh, another okay episode but nothing nearly as good as last season. Secrets of the Lost City has yet to capture me and drag me into the show the same that that M'arillion Invasion did, but there is still plenty of time I suppose.
