Ninjago Season 1, Episode 7: Tick Tock
WE. ARE. BACK.
Sorry for the delay. Life stuff, you know. But WE’RE BACK and oh man, what an episode to come back to. If you missed episode 6, or if it’s been a long time and you don't remember what happened (like me), go check it out right here.
If I recall, definitely not with any glances back at previous episodes or blog posts, last time we were here, Lloyd got kidnapped and … no one really cared apparently. So he’s still kidnapped. Also, we found out that Nya’s the mysterious Samurai whaaaatt. Basically, exciting stuff. I’d say hopefully they get Lloyd back today but I’m not sure if I do hope that.
Regardless, I’m on the edge of my seat.
We begin:
Wait I’m sorry, Zane can hold his breath for ten minutes?
If I recall correctly, Lloyd is still captured by the Serpentine? Why are you doing breath-holding competitions? Priorities, guys!
Man what a training montage.
guys his nephew is missing and you’re supposed to be finding him. Do you really think there’s a good time for this conversation?
“I’m sorry if I’ve been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing.” bro fair enough.
Where is this soft white light coming from all of a sudden?
BACKSTORY
Baby Wu looks almost exactly like Lloyd
The Great Devourer, apparently
Oh shiiiit Garmadon got bit by a snake!
Oh shiiiit Garmodon got bit by a legendary snake that will grow forever as long as it consumes!
So him being the Lord of Darkness isn’t actually his fault.
Oh damn so the Great Devourer is the thing that made Garmadon Garmadon. I feel like this might have been useful to know earlier, Wu
Great time to go on a vague solo quest, Wu. Though I am curious who you’re looking for
(is it Garmadon?)
Four Fangblades? Fancy magic weapons? Four of them? Hmm I wonder who’s gonna end up with those.
Wh--what is this missing poster of? A... a knife? A Fangblade? That’s not a good poster. I would not know what I was looking for if I saw that poster
Kai how are you so bad at keeping this secret? Pronouns aren’t that hard.
Wh
Zane you good
Oh, it’s the falcon! We like the falcon (and its music. oh my word the music)
Desert again. I want to see a map of this world’s biomes please.
Oh and snow. How long have they been walking exactly?
And wasteland. And tundra. And more snow

THE FALCON WAS A ROBOT THE WHOLE TIME
WHY ARE THERE ROBOTS
WHAT IS HAPPENING
okay so we have a tree door
and a tree hideout
and some blueprints
WAIT
WAIT
OKAY LET’S NOT DISCUSS THAT AT ALL
Wu is on a mysterious tea quest and ZANE IS A FRICKIN ROBOT
WHERE DID THIS COME FROM
Ohhhhh his funny switch wasn’t on. Of course.
I’m ... SO uncomfortable
At least the boys are being super accepting about it
Glad we knew these terrifying tree monsters existed before just now. Side note: actual nightmare fuel.
Has Zane had amnesia this entire time? Is that a thing? Was I supposed to be aware of this?
Baby Zane is adorable and I love him
Where was this two minutes ago guys
oh god there’s a queen. Literal nightmare fuel
what
Zane’s getting abducted by aliens
Or he’s unlocked his true potential which apparently involves flight and becoming Iceman from the X-men
The staffs have venom in them?
Aaaand Wu just went through a portal
and there’s Garmadon
ZANE’S A ROBOT
GUYS ZANE IS A ROBOT
GARMADON’S BACK AND ZANE IS A FUCKING ROBOT
sorry yes I have feelings regarding this. I cannot wait till next week.
