New Episode "Ono's Idol"

Maybe Hadithi is the eagle of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? Hahahahah!

That would be cool, but probably unlikely. The eagle in Spirit was an American breed, and the eagle in TLG will presumably be an African breed.

LOL, I was just kidding.

Honestly, to me it sounds like this could be a Bird-version of "A False Ancestor/A Gift From The Heavens" /shrugs...

It is kinda fun to think of what kind of scenario would lead a bald eagle to Africa. Shipwreck? Escaped from the zoo? The wacky adventures of the American eagle

Synopsis is out.

"When Ono meets his idol, the legendary eagle Hadithi, he learns that his hero isn't what he expected."

I said this on another site, but I'm wondering if we'll get a 'Patch's London Adventure' style episode.

That makes a lot of sense.

It's surprising that the Season 1 didn't over. The final scene of the The Trail of Udugu seemed to be a season closing thing.

It did. I suspect that The Trail to Udugu was originally intended as the season finale, but for whatever reason, they aired it before Ono's Idol.

I don't get that either The only thing I can think of is (and I know how weak this theory is) they thought the ending felt too much like a series finale than a season finale However if that were the case why wait over a month to air the "final" episode of the season I hope this does not mean that there will be HUGE gap between the end of season 1 and the start of season 2

I've heard fall 2017 for the start of season 2, which is far too big of a gap. Hopefully that was just a rumor and it won't be that bad.

Fall 2017? Where did you hear that?

Somewhere on Instagram if I recall correctly. Like I said, I hope it's just a rumor and we get new eps sooner!

Heck, I might have even read the post wrong or something, come to think of it.

Well, there's a new trailer out now. I kinda forgot about this episode and I just realized it's supposed to air this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApxhNJGpgmw

It looks interesting enough; Janja's trio back for the first time since Nne and Tano left them, and it looks like the episode's climax is taking place on a cliffside (during sunset, of course) so if this is supposed to be a season ender it looks like it could have an appropriate feel for it. Hadithi looks like a marshal eagle, which are among Africa's largest and most powerful birds of prey. Not sure if or how that factors into anything here, but I figured it was fun to try and figure out what species he is.
