The 1st time I watched this episode I didn't like it because I thought the plot was cheesy. But watching it again, surprisingly, I thought this was a very good episode. Scott and T-bob did a lot of crap aboard the train, that was funny and led to a rescue scene with Slingshot, a vehicle we don't see often. Then there was a big battle when MASK arrived at the castle and it was also nice to see the treasure which was very well drawn. The scene where Matt almost got killed by the axe was very cheesy. What made it even worse is that we've already seen two similar scenes in "The lippizaner mystery" and "The royal cape caper".
ReplyDeleteA nice episode with some good action scenes. It was a good story with a surprisingly nice treasure at the end. I’ve always wanted a “treasure” like that myself. I noticed that they had used Mayhem’s voice for Otto the wrestler. No wonder Scott and T-Bob mixed them up. But why did the train car come loose? Aren’t those things properly secured? That seemed strange. It was good that Scott and T-Bob could be of some help by alerting the team that Matt was in danger, instead of just being in the way, but the way the axe got stuck in the cogwheels seemed very awkward, and considering the distance it took the axe way too long to reach Matt.
