Another character!

Dang, does this show have a good track record. I knew they'd be introducing a new character from the old show in every episode. This time it's Gladstone Gander whom most fans remember. He was known for being the luckiest duck in the world. It does kind of make you wonder. If he's the luckiest, why isn't he the richest like Scrooge? Actually, they do in fact kind of address that. The villain wants Scrooge believing he would be even luckier. I said that one improvement over the original series was that Donald Duck was featured more. While that's a plus, I admit his voice can get annoying.

Well, it was more annoying than usual here. My only complaint about this episode is that Launchpad talks about meeting up with an old girlfriend. Something cool definitely happens but we unfortunately never get to see it. I don't know if the villain in this episode was from the comics. He certainly seems like a new one. I don't recall a frog being a villain. Some of the plot doesn't make a lot of sense but it actually does at the end. It just shows you how smart this show is. ***1/2

Unlucky Donald Duck.

One paragraph plot summary : Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, Webby and the triplets are heading for the temple of golden crickets. But they had to do give some help to one of their family members, Gladstone Gander. So, they ended up in a casino. Unfortunately, that casino isn't what it seems to be. At first, they are just playing along in that casino. But later, they all find out the owner of that casino is some demon and he imprison Gladstone Gander. In order to save Gladstone Gander, McDuck makes a deal with him. He also agreed, so, they do a little run. Fortunately, Donald Duck wins and everything is back to okay. Gladstone Gander could also leave that place. McDuck and the others continue the journey to the temple of golden crickets. What is unfortunate is that the temple of golden crickets isn't something McDuck hoped for. (I'd say poor McDuck. LOL.)

This episode is so cool. I really love this episode because it shows everyone or everything is important somehow, even tiny things. Even though you think it's not important, it somehow comes in very handy and it becomes important. Luck is something important. Everyone wants to be lucky. But no one doesn't want to be unlucky, right? But sometimes, unluck is also important. This is such a different view.

What I don't like or understand is that they didn't show how Donald Duck defeated that demon. If they showed that clearly, it'd be better. Now, I feel like I'm left hanging.

All in all, I really love this episode because it's really enjoyable to watch. Some scenes are funny and some scenes are cute and some are really amazing. This one is totally the best I've seen so far. I really love DuckTales TV show and I can't wait to see the next episodes.
