I'm pretty sure they said Stoic is getting a Thinderdrum.
EDIT: Episode 7 discussion is up!

I've been wanting to ask if you guys think they could have pulled off the fighting violence in this last episode with a TV-Y7 rating. Do you think this is the first episode that really justifies the show's TV-PG rating?

Hmmm, you know, I'm not so sure this show has earned it's TV-PG rating yet. Especially since it's rated that for "V" or violence.
I would say that the fight between Stoick and Alvin might've been considered TV-PG, not because of the fighting in general, but because they had them bashing each other in the face. Kung Fu and fancy flips can be pulled off in a TV-Y7-FV show just fine (Avatar the Last Airbender) but because these two big brawny guys were constantly taking punches at each other in the face might've bumped up that fight to TV-PG.
I'm not sure how the rating system works as to what's TV-PG and what isn't, but I'm thinking the outward "I'm gonna punch you in the freaking face" vibe to these fights might be one of the reasons why it's rated TV-PG and not Y7-FV. Because other then that...I can't find anything else about this show that's "too risky to be rated Y7".
But then again...Alvin's gonna come back, and who knows what he's gonna do to threaten Hiccup, Stoick, Toothless or Astrid. He already seemed all "lemmy pull ur hair and keep capturing the chick" so I'm not sure how far he'll go to get what he wants...but I think he'll go pretty far, actually.

I didn't notice any explanation as to why dragons attack the people on Alvin's island. Did I miss it, or has this not been covered? I had assumed that after the movie, with the dragons no longer being coerced by that big one, they were now generally wild animals except for those that had been trained by Hiccup and the others, and that any attacks on human settlements would be done by individual dragons acting alone, not raids by groups of dragons.
If instead the wild dragons still organize as groups and attack humans, then that raises the question of why Berk is no longer attacked. One possible explanation comes to mind--the trained dragons living in Berk act as a deterrent. If that's the case, then Berk may be in for a surprise if Mildew ever succeeds in getting the dragons sent away for more than a few weeks.

Hey, welcome tzs. Hope to see you around more.
Er... I'm not sure an explanation was given. My assumption (initially) is that because the Outcasts seem to be agressive people that they just fight. I assume the dragons there, well... live there. Alvin being who Alvin is... I expect he gets into fights with them quite frequently, and I'm sure they likewise respond.

Actually, if I may expand. I was just watching "Heather Report" the other day (wow that is such a bad pun), and I think I may have found an additional answer.
It's mentioned in Heather Report that (at least part of) Outcast Island is a Dragon nesting ground (I'm guessing sort of like that island all of the dragons go to in Gift of the Night Fury). This may explain why it's so scorched-- as dragon eggs explode and it's possible they don't submerge the eggs in water like the Berk dragons do.
Anyways, that may be a part of it. In Gift of the Night Fury the dragons welcomed Hiccup to their island because they all knew him and he was friendly. It's possible that the dragons see the Outcasts as a threat to their nesting area, being violent or perhaps hunting dragons/eggs, and as a result they regularly fight with each other.
Basically I think it just boils down to the fact that Alvin is bad and as a result he's going to be fighting with anything around him. Or maybe his dragons are particularly malicious. Or something.
