Haha, yeah I forgot that in the UK "college" is not the same thing as it is in the US. I think it's like high school, but I'm still not sure as there's also something called primary and secondary school. US: Ages 5-10/11 - Elementary School (Grades K-5) 11/12-13/14 - Middle School/Junior High School (Grades 6-8/7-9, at least how I remember it when the local Junior High turned into Middle School. That means the local Elementary School used to be K-6) 13/14-17/18 - High School (Grades 9-12) After that, you go to college if you want to. "University" is the campus, from what I understand, that has many colleges - like the college of sciences, and college of literary arts or something. But think of them more like departments, rather than individual colleges... yup. So those in the UK, care to tell us? ~~~ On topic: Leo is awfully pretty. As for the tails: There's a production blog on tumblr, and they explained that in the current Thundera, the tails denote class. Ones with tails are "second class" while the ones without tails are "upper class." In the case of Panthro, he must have lost it while travelling with Grune. If you have a tail, it's like you're seen as "less evolved." With Wilykit and Wilykat, the tails are also a design choice because they're the acrobats of the group, so the tails are for balance. editHere it is. crewofomens.tumblr.com/post/8435103220/i-first-saw-thundercats-on-toonami-when-i-was-young

i know ours is a lot different but you like totally skip A levels??? and do you get like GCSE's or something? well for us it's: ages 4-11 is primary school (this includes reception (kindergarten for you), yr's 1,2,3,4,5 & 6) ages 11-16 is secondary school (this is yr's 7,8,9,10 & 11(year 11 is when you get your GCSE's and through that year you apply to colleges to see if based on estimate grades you will get in)) ages 16-18 is college *this is optional no one has to go to college if they don't want to* we also have the institute which is a college but for people choosing to do vocational subjects *again is optional* (this only includes Yr's 12 &13(at the end of year 13 you get your A levels and apply for universities throughout the year)) then it's university! which is where you get degrees and Phd's and stuff ;D very long i know. and it's sad as well cos i got rejected from one college cos when i got my GCSE's i missed an A in one subject i wanted to take T-T plus i had my first day of college at the one i actually got into and i am a lot smarter than half of my physics class.

I'm not sure what A levels are. I don't think we skip them, we just have a different way of graduating from schools prior to college.
Yeah, "colleges" here generally don't mean vocational schools, though there are some that are vocational schools.

A levels are like harder GCSE's, i think it's like your finals but done over modules and then all the topics (modules) you done add up to one final grade and then these grades determine what university you go to if you meet their requirements. but unlike your colleges i don't think our universities don't have scholarships, you just take out a student loan.

Oh my gosh... I have been blown away. This series is AMAZING! I watched the original Thundercats a few times and I fully expected this new version to suck as bad as Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated. I was SO wrong!
This honestly gives me the same feeling I've had while watching animated series like Gargoyles, Naruto, and Teen Titans. If I had any doubts, Episode 3 nullified them. I actually CRIED during that episode! If a series makes me cry, I know it's a keeper! Goin' back to Master Toons to watch more right now!

I love the remake better than the classic I used to watch a long time ago. The stories are so much clearer and the classic one seemed to look like a very boring sitcom.

My friend in French class described the classic character design for Liono and Tygra as 'Turning Superman into a furry.'
