Ninjago Season 1, Episode 2: Home
Happy Valentine's Day! I have zero plans, so I'm gonna celebrate eating unhealthy amounts of chocolate and watching a bad show about Lego ninjas for you guys.
(If you missed us last time, join us here for last episode of Ninjago)
We begin:
Are ... are the ninjas actually training? By themselves?
Zane, don't freeze the courtyard, that's dangerous.
What did I literally just say?
Oh shiiit conflict in the ranks
Wait, that happens constantly. Why am I surprised? Oh yeah, I'm not.
Oh, it's not conflict between the four of them, it's conflict with Zane. I like Zane. Who has a problem with Zane?
That laugh makes me very uncomfortable. Something is definitely wrong.
I still don't understand the technology level of this world. They have ninjas and fight with swords and stuff, but they also have monster trucks and refrigerators.
I mean, Zane is the ice ninja. Where would he be if not inside the fridge?
Did Wu just compare Zane to Garmadon? Should I be concerned?
I guess I'd never considered how they got their mail delivered. At least the mail guy doesn't have to worry much about his workout routine.
Oh no, sad backstory incoming.
Seriously though, is Zane okay? He just looks so pitiful. I want to hug him.
Liver and toads. Delicious.
Whaaaaat is this now
Oh that's right Cole is still hypnotised by the snake-people. I honestly forgot about that.
Is his name Scales? That's like calling a person "Skin" or "Eyeball."
Wait, did the snake-people build Lloyd a treehouse? Is that what this is? That is amazing. I want snake-people to build me a treehouse.
Snakes don't belong in trees? Scales has obviously never seen The Jungle Book.
Guys, wearing an apron while you cook is not something to be mocked. Even if it is pink and flowery. I have a picture of one of my guy friends in an apron remarkably similar to that, and one of my dad in a floral apron, and you don't see me making fun of them.
You guys are jerks.
And now you're wasting food. That looked delicious.
Aww poor Zane.
It's a falcon you guys there's a falcon!!
Zane is a falcon-whisperer!
Zane's falcon dance is one of the most graceful things I have ever seen in my life.
Guys they're communicating!!!!
This music is b e a u t i f u l. I’m not even joking.
Yes. Logic. "How did you find Lloyd's secret headquarters?" "I followed the bird." "Why did you follow the bird?" "Because it danced." Impeccable.
Stop making fun of Zane.
I like ropes courses.
You have to love a character who doesn't understand metaphors.
Oh joy, it's the most annoying child in all of fiction.
Did you have to use spinjitsu to just cut some ropes?
That treehouse construction is so freaking unstable. Literally the only things holding the entire building up are three regular-size ropes? That cannot be up to code.
Oh no! If only we could have foreseen problems with Cole being hypnotised!
Convenient Lloyd cage is convenient.
Wu saves the day again!
With music! Somehow!
Does this have something to do with snake-charming?
Welp ... I think the monastery's gone, guys.
Why are you blaming this on ZANE? WHY?
Oh shit he's gone.
I like how they didn't even bother tying both of Lloyd's hands, just the one. It's almost like they don't think he's a threat or something.
S--Slitherpit? Seriously, who names these things?
This is some intense and compelling action right here.
Ooh those ice weapons are actually super cool.
What the heck was that wavy wavy thing Scales just did?
Oh, my question has been answered. It was Fang-kwon-do, obviously. I should have known. Silly me.
That is wild. The snake staff does magic to make its wielder have a legit snake tail. And cool gold patterns and stuff. Fancy.
Why do some of the Serpentine have snake heads and some have more humanoid heads with like cobra flares?
Mud newt. Delicious. Can't you guys go into town or something? You're heroes, right? Surely someone could house and feed you for a night or two.
At least get off the freaking mountain so you don't freeze to death. You have dragons. You can fly.
Zane's back!!
Is that a ship?
It's a ship.
The falcon showed Zane a free ship.
They're going to live on a ship.
This is amazing.
How dare you try and make me feel sorry for Lloyd Garmadon.
And that's it! That's the end of the episode! Well, a lot has happened. Zane made friends with a bird, the dojo got burned down by snake-people, and our heroes got a free ship. Can't wait to see what's next for these four intrepid ninjas. And one sister. And an old guy. And Lloyd Garmadon, I guess.
