Snotlout is dying. Or at least, he thinks he is. He finds a replacement for himself; Gustav, a young boy he befriended a long time back. Hiccup knows that Snotlout isn't dying and that Gustav isn't ready for the Dragon Academy, but Snotlout is being stubborn. Fishlegs thinks the training Gustav and saying that he's a good replacement will bring Snotlout around. However, when Snotlout is brought around, Gustav won't give up on becoming a Rider, leading to complications for the Riders later.
A fairly average episode, that is made better by being about Gustav, a young boy we first met last season. Gustav is a good character, as a small boy who strives to become a dragon rider. He is largely influenced by Snotlout, making him like a small Snotlout, adding humour to the episode. His dragon, Fanghook, is brilliant too and I hope to see the two of them again, given the ending. The story isn't anything spectacular, but the last five minutes weren't bad as they added a bit of action. I was considering a six, but it is a more enjoyable episode than that.
