Discuss this week's episode here...

This thread is now open. Enjoy the show and let us know what you think.

The episode just started - I am a bit saddened by the new opening - I think maybe they should have left Flower there for the rest of the season and changed it next season - what do you think?

I do feel sorry for Zaphod too -

All those pups -

I'm feeling a lot better than I thought I would. Poor Zaphod, he's being a typical dad.Maybelline, looked like the little old Meerkat that lived in a shoe, she had so many pups she didn't know what to do,LOL.Looked like a Meerkat nursery school.

I just hope RD has what it takes. She must have, after jockeying for position with her sisters, she came up on top after all. This den move is making me nervous.

poor Rocket Dog has a huge job before her and not much coopertion..I feel sorry for her. I hope the Whiskers can keep it together.

Axel Looks Awesome!!!

Go, baby!!!

Go, Rocket Dog!!!

She did it! Go girl!

Yeah!!! Rocket Dog!!!! I feel sorry for Zaphod though.

What a beautiful petal our Kalahari Rose left us in Rocketdog.

Whew-wee. She does have what it takes!!! Mama Flower would be proud.

I was so happy that they made it ok. It was really nerve racking seeing them go crazy. Jus t glad that RD pulled through for them. I do feel sorry for Zaphod he is so lost without Flower. Hopefully he will be happy again one day.

Here are my thoughts on tonights show,
1. Way to go Rocket Dog...you did it !
2. Too many comparisons to her mother. We know she isn't Flower (maybe close though).
3. Poor Zaphod...what will happen, it REALLY won't be the same if he goes.
4. Axel is lookin' good !
5. What happened to the squirrel we were suppose to see tonight ???

Anyway, I think it was a great episode and finally a relief from all of the heartache. Good night everyone and God Bless.

RIP Flower...The show goes on but not like it used to !

Zaphod looked out of sorts.Without his beloved Flower he looks a little....lost.I feel sorry for him.I hope he doesn't have to leave.His daughter needs him still.Glad to see Axle is ok.But what of Liz Flower pup?.

Loved the way Sophie(Mozarts' daughter) and Rocketdog worked as a team to get rid of Punk.

Mitch and McMurphy (Toscas'son)got all over Houdini. I still felt very sad when sean mentioned Flowers' name,of course it didn't help I watched "Journeys'End" b4 this show.
Keep it up Rocket Dog.Live up to your mother legacy.

Ironically, even though it would be better for Rocketdog if Zaphod left the group, he was the one that got the burrow move back on track. Those pups looked so young! I'm glad no one was lost along the way.

My top ten thoughts of the episode:

1.) ZOMG THEY CHANGED THE TITLE!!! Never before has this happened, but then none of the main title characters have died mid-season before either. It makes me wonder what the roster will be like by this season's end... Gotta admit though, RD looks good in the collar. ^^

2.) *counts pups* One, two, three, four, five, eighteen... Dang! They're all so crowded in that little hole... But wait, where's "Liz!?"

3.) Poor ol' Zaphod. He seems unsure of what to do with himself, doesn't he? And chasing off a potential mate for Rocket Dog wasn't exactly a good thing. Although, I can see him being just as overprotective of his daughters as he was with Flower. I can hear him now as he chases off the rover: "If anything happens to my daughter, I got a shotgun and a shovel! I doubt anybody would miss you!" ...Oh, wait. That was "Clueless."

4.) Den move = Youssarian mishap sequel??? Stupid Maybelline! >.<

5.) YAY! Pookie, Spud, McMurphy and Jogu ALL got mentioned!!! ...And there was a new name. I forget what it was!

6.) New home looks good. New watering hole looks good. Meerkats falling into water = awesome.

7.) Are you sure that's the Zappa coming? At this point it could be anybody. I liked how Axel just laid there thinking everything was okay. Cute little guy.

8.) "It's fight, or flight... She chooses flight." D'OH!!! *pictures Flower looking down from Heaven, shaking her head in shame*

9.) Okay, NOW we fight! And it seems that Sophie and Spud are okay, which must mean Flower's last litter is around here somewhere. At five weeks old, they'd be pretty big. Big enough to help win the battle, perhaps?

10.) ......So...... Where's the menacing ground squirrel we were promised? o.O

I was actually a little disappointed. I thought that they would have shown a little more of how the group reacted after the lost of Flower. I am glad to see that Rocket Dog had her wits about her when they were conforted with the Zappa. I am glad to see that they worked together as a group!

I'm in love with Zaphod! Flower would have been so proud to know that he stayed to make sure the family was OK. My heart just melted the way he tried to help "Rocket" with the den move. I just wish Zaphod could stay and still allow his daughter to find a mate and male dominant for the group. It was beautiful to see Zaphod with the grandbabies!!

I feel encouraged that the Whiskers family will be ok. I was so excited to see Mitch and McMurphy take down Houdini and "Rocket" and Sophie take care of Punk. Flower will never die, she lives on through her beautiful, courageous, and brave offspring!

Good evening to all in the Manor. I was afraid to watch tonight, I just got to the point that I can look at Flower's pictures without tearing up. But when Rocket Dog turned to fight, I cheered out loud. Maybe she knows she has some big pawprints to fill, but she is her mother's daughter after all!

I thought the references to Flower were enough - but I also had the feeling this was a few weeks after F's death so some other battles were sorted out.

where is the squirrel - we need the comic relief!

Go, Rocket Dog, and don't be afraid!!!

Maybe I missed it, but does anyone know what happened to the babysitters, the babies and the snake that bit Flower?

Where the heck is that ground squirrel? Anyway, yay! A watering whole! A new meerkat! His name was Lary, wasn't it? Sophie and Spud are okay, and we got to see Cruise! I LOVE AXEL!!! He reminds me soooo much of Attila!!! I'd like to see Attila again too. I hope Zaphod doesn't get kicked out permanantly...

Attila

GO ROCKETDOG!!!!!!!!!
Got a little scared with the den move. But Zaphod to the rescue. It made me sad to see him babysitting all alone. He seems very sad and unsure of himself.Isn't he old for a meerkat??
Where was Liz and other pups???

Well, Zaphod is old, but he's still useful! Also, they said that together Daisy and Maybelline had 7 pups, and I heard someone say that they saw eight pups total, so I guess that means that only Liz made it out. Well, at least Sophie and Spud are okay.

Attila

They did say that Flower had been gone 5 weeks and that the pups were born 2 weeks ago, so that's why they were so small. If I heard correctly (and I hope I did), on Journey's End when the Zappa were coming toward the Whiskers, Sean said that since Punk and Houdini had been together, the group had increased in size and that they brought THEIR pups along, so that kind of states that Axl and his siblings were Punk and Houdini's not Frank and Lola's. I too, felt sorry for Zaphod. He looked like he was lost, but still had the skill to help with the move. He would be a great granddad and it would be nice to see him stay. Also, about the beginning - I, too, missed Flower, but thought that they would change it. They have changed the title a couple times - at least after Shakespeare and Tosca went missing. Also, now they don't have Youssarian anymore.

I am soooooooooooooo HAPPY no one left the manor this week. My heart goes out to Zaphod, he looked so sad babysitting by himself. Axel is just so adorable, I see him as a future Casanova of the Kalahari. I think Rocketdog will in time be a leader like her mom. I'm glad she didn't back down the second time, you go girl!. Happy to see Sophie and Spud.

I was definitely torn and having some painful flashbacks watching tonite's new episode of MM. Yet I must say I am happy to see the Whiskers successfully transitioning. That move was definitely stressful and ironically made me think back to Zaphod's ill-fated attempt at moving the group while Flower was gone. (Not sure exactly which episode that was I believe it happened early last season.) It's sooo sad seeing him on his own within the group and trying to fit in where he can. Where will he go now?? Whose going to hold things together now if he's not there??!! I am very happy they made a successful move though!!
(On a sidenote, I have begun to wonder whether or not RocketDog is a great name for a Female meerkat?!?? Ah well guess I'll have to get used to it.)
