The Doomgaze
Original Air Date: Tuesday, September 24, 1985

Official Synopsis

MUMM-RA allies with the Egyptian princess TA-SHE to gain the Doomgaze, an entrancing power, which could enslave the THUNDERCATS. To free her from the Timewarp Prison, they need three elements: a tuft of CHEETARA's hair, a Unicorn's golden shoe, and a BERBIL's tear. The MUTANTS, aided by a MAN-O-WAR CLOUD, gather the elements and kidnap RO-BER-BELLE. The Thundercats pursue through the Desert of Phosphorous Sands, the Crumbling Cliffs of Vertigo, and the Field of Daggers. As TA-SHE's freeing ritual begins on Mount Anguish, the THUNDERCATS attack. TA-SHE needs LION-0 as the hero who will take her place in the Timewarp and uses the Doomgaze to enrapture him. CHEETARA (a woman herself) is not mesmerized by the princess' beauty and brings LION-0 out of the trance. Defeated, TA-SHE fades back into her prison and MUMM-RA angrily disappears into the darkening skies.

Moral

Lion-O becomes infatuated by Ta-She's beauty and falls under her hypnotic spell. Even in the face of imminent danger to himself, Ro-Ber-Belle, and the other ThunderCats, he is unable to see through her appearance and grasp the essential evil beneath her charm. Only when rescued by Cheetara does he regain his judgment, discern the superficiality of her looks, and reflect on the dissimilarities between them.

Attraction between friends in early stages of childhood may be based on superficial characteristics like geographical location or favorite activities. As children grow older, other factors become significant like interests, cooperative behavior, and sharing possessions. Approaching adolescence, central characteristics like intimacy and loyalty become important and personal similarities in behaviors and attitudes are hallmarks of lasting friendships (Kandel, 1978).
