You know, if this episode does mirror How To Be A Pirate, that might explain why they swapped this one and Pick Your Dragon--I'm guessing they wanted to break it up rather than have two Alvin-heavy episodes in a row.
Maybe I'm warped, but I think it would be hilarious if Hiccup goes through all this treasure hunt trouble to prove that he's strong etc thanks to something Stoick says, only to find out at the end Stoick not only wasn't bothered to begin with but didn't realize that Hiccup had even run off on this adventure in the first place until he gets back. (Run-on sentence powers, activate!)

The only thing I am hoping for in this is seeing how it possibly connects with the book it is supposedly based on. Other than that, all I want is Hiccup snark and the same quality we've has so far.
They gave us almost nothing to go on so I am keeping my anticipation a bit lower than normal for this one.

From the description, and what we have seen so far, I got a more "you don't need to change because you're fine the way you are... and we understand that now I guess" kinda vibe.
We'll have to wait and see. At least it is only until tomorrow!

... Oh man I felt so bad for Hiccup when the episode started. First the painting (well, that was a very literal title now, wasn't it?), then the wonderful self-confidence boost from his dad, then we find out his name basically means "runt of the litter". This was my face: D8 Cause, really, that hurt.
But I loved that we got a great showcase of how smart Hiccup really is! I got the riddle about the ice only half way done, only because I know a bit of Nose mythology, and seeing him get them all so easily was awesome. And his excitement was utterly adorable.
And Gobber was just perfection. All of him is perfect I never want him to change not ever. Astrid trying to convince Hiccup he didn't need to prove himself was also sweet. +1 respect toward her, even though I love her already.
I think Hookfang may have attention span problems... And Fireworm dragons. Nice reference to the book (I... think... Fireworm was Snot's dragon in the books) and awesome new species.
And that ending... was AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Just... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Also, Hiccup is perfect at the end.
That was a slightly cliche episode but it was just so sweet and well done that I don't mind the mild cliche. It ties in the issues of him being different in the movie and finally brings them full circle. I hope we get to see a slightly more confident Hiccup as the show goes on.

Review: There are two films that can sum up this episode. Raiders of the lost ark, and the goonies. While watching this, I can see this formula in motion, like the fireworms as snakes, Hiccup picking up the last treasure. That sums it up. Did it work? It did, though it was predictable. What I like about this episode was the message. I think this message was given before, but it worked. I also like Astrids reaction of the first painting. Now that funny for any Hicstrid fan. Overall, it's a fun episode. Enjoyed it, but it was predictable. So when's that Heather episode again?

Episode 10...week after next. I was practically hyperventilating when Hiccup and Toothless got lost and Astrid's reaction to Hiccup and Toothless getting lost - AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! She is so faithful! And the look Stoick had in his eyes when he thought his son was gone forever - EPIC!!! Can't wait for Dragon Flower then....dun...dun...dunnnnnnnnnnnnnn THE HEATHER EPISODE! Sorry for the all caps.

Interesting episode. Hiccup is like Indiana Jones. :3 Good message, although it was already in the movie, but still good. 8/10 for now. Thanks to Crownflame for the livestream. Waiting for iTunes. I do not know why you so much want to see that "Heather" episode. I much more interested in "Dragon Flower" episode, I really want to see it.

I'm interested in both...dragons (including Toothless maybe) getting sick? Poor things. But come on! Heather is a new female character. And she's competition for Hiccup against Astrid (and me!)

I too am more anticipating Dragon Flower, specifically for how they will find a cure for the disease the dragons get.

I am anticipating both of them, although Dragon Flower the most. Heather... other than the new character I have no idea what to expect, whereas Dragon Flower seems like it's going to be a VERY emotional episode.
