Season 1 Episode 21
Dr. Dometone
Original Air Date: Monday, October 07, 1985
Official SynopsisWhile out swimming, WILYKIT is apparently devoured by a huge, green, amphibious monster. The monster is a robot, HERKY, belonging to DOCTOR DOMETONE, latest in a long line of guardians of the Great Oceanic Plug. The Plug prevents the seas from pouring into Third Earth's molten core, extinguishing the fires, heralding an Ice Age and destroying all life. Far from threatening WILYKIT, DOCTOR DOMETONE has traveled to the Cats' Lair to ask the THUNDERCATS for help: SCRAPE, a salvage expert from Blue Plunder, is trying to pull the plug in order to drain the ocean and retrieve rocks from the ocean floor. The rocks are needed to fuel his planet. It seems that DOCTOR DOMETONE's mission may be too late, for SCRAPE's giant ELECTRIC EEL has already broken into the PLUG's protective dome, and scared DOCTOR DOMETONE's staff off, before he, LION-0 and the THUNDERKITTENS arrive in HERKY. HERKY overcomes the ELECTRIC EEL, but SCRAPE escapes with WILYKAT, locking himself into the PLUG's dome and proceeding with his plan to drain the ocean. LION-0 summons the THUNDERCATS and PANTHRO seals off the dome with a compressed air bubble. SCRAPE is sucked out of the dome and escorted to the Grey Prison Planet by OFFICER MANDORA. WILYKAT is rescued and a communications line is set up between the Plug and the Lair to ensure the safety of Third Earth.
MoralDr. Dometone teaches the ThunderCats that we live in balance with the forces of nature. Sometimes the balance of nature is precarious and fragile, and it requires our intervention to maintain its equilibrium. The interventions, however, must be taken with great care, for any interference into the ecological system has the potential to set off a chain of consequences.
When we encounter something new or unfamiliar or decide to take some action without full knowledge of what we are dealing with, we risk making a mistake and doing harm rather than good. Wilykat's impulse to blast Herky before understanding what he was illustrates the point. And the lesson is especially important for society in dealing with the environmental system, whose components, whether physical, chemical, or biological, interact with a complexity that must be understood and respected. It is an important lesson as well for individuals, for our interaction with the environment must also be based on respect and care, lest we contribute to upsetting the balance of nature by impulsive actions.
