Season 1 Episode 41
The Micrits
Original Air Date: Monday, November 18, 1985
Official SynopsisWhile searching for Thundrillium, LION-0 discovers that there is a tribe of tiny people on Third Earth. They are furious with the THUNDERCATS because every time they roar out of the Cats' Lair in the ThunderTank or battle the MUTANTS, or MUMM-RA, they flatten the little people's villages, homes, and crops. The little people, the MICRITS, take revenge against the THUNDERCATS by confiscating all of their weapons and vital THUNDERCAT equipment - thus leaving them vulnerable to the MUTANTS. The MUTANTS seize this perfect opportunity and attack the Cats' Lair. Without their weapons and machinery, the THUNDERCATS are forced to fight barehanded. Meanwhile, the MICRITS capture LION-0 and the Sword of Omens, and pin them down to the group with light strands of Thundranium. SNARF searches for LION-0 and when he finally finds him, LION-0 offers SNARF as a captive in exchange for himself, if the MICRITS will let him go. LION-0 reasons that if the MICRITS allow the MUTANTS to battle the THUNDERCATS without their weapons and machinery, the THUNDERCATS will be defeated and with the MUTANTS in charge, terror and destruction will reign on Third Earth. The MICRITS agree. LION-0 signals the THUNDERCATS with the Sword of Omens and takes the THUNDERCATS' confiscated weapons to the Cats' Lair. LION-0 returns the weapons to each of the THUNDERCATS and the MUTANTS are defeated. Keeping his word, LION-0 returns to the MICRIT village and SNARF is released. The THUNDERCATS set up a marker system delineating the boundaries of the MICRIT territory.
MoralThe ThunderCats, being unaware of the tiny Micrits, unwittingly cause damage to their community. Angry, the Micrits fought back and, in turn, almost unwittingly helped the Mutants defeat the ThunderCats and spread evil and destruction willfully. Lion-O convinces the Micrits to agree to a pact to free him long enough to rescue the other ThunderCats. Bringing their weapons to the besieged Lair, Lion-O and the ThunderCats rout the Mutants. Afterwards, to prevent further damage to the Micrits, they alert themselves to the boundaries of their territory by erecting signposts. Frequently, a bad outcome, for example, some damage or hurt feeling in others, is the result of our inadvertently doing something without full knowledge or after not paying attention. The lack of knowledge and awareness on our part can have serious repercussions. In evaluating the wrongdoing and our blame, it is important to distinguish our knowledge from our intent. Our blame is less if we do something wrong by accident than if we do it knowingly. In this episode, the ThunderCats caused damage only because of their lack of awareness of the Micrits' existence. The Mutants, on the other hand, sought by intent to cause destruction. Nevertheless, whether a bad outcome is the result of inadvertence or wrong intention, the damage and suffering is real. Therefore, we should not only avoid intending something wrong, but we should also seek to be as aware of things as we can and to be sensitive to others' feelings. In that way, we can avoid causing negative results inadvertently. Our chances for avoiding wrongdoing and problems are much better when we are aware, attentive, and sensitive to our surroundings.
