Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "Peace , Love And Woe" Review

Power Rangers especially in it's very earlier episodes was known for being a mixture of Saved By The Bell and Justice League. As the show would frequently mix in scenes detailing the characters normal day to day lives with alot of action scenes with the two of them barely connecting together with this episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today being a good example of that and so that join me as I review the episode that was actually done better in this show then it is was in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger with the episode in question being called simply ""Peace , Love And Woe" enjoy. 

The plot of this episode is when his date is kidnapped Billy and the rest of the rangers have to find her and defeat the evil Madam Woe before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. While yes this episodes plot is basically a plot where nothing actually happens it was still refreshing seeing Billy take the lead of an episode with the episodes plot being one that could have been done alot more better but at the same time tho that is something that could have been said for alot of the early Power Rangers episodes as even this episodes plot follows the structure of the rest of the rest of the show where we get a few minuets with the American actors at the start of episode to set up the plot and then we get the stock footage with the villain showing us the episodes main villain followed by an action scene and back to the American actors to wrap up the episodes plot. Which is something that this franchise has done really well but in this case it is something that does highlight it's flaws as it does seem like Rita is sending out Madam Woe just to mildly inconvenience the rangers and that's it with the episodes plot not being as strong as it could have been either but when the episodes plot is fun it can be really fun to watch with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Austin St. John as Jason Lee Scott , Thuy Trang as Trini Kwan and Walter Jones as Zack Taylor. Also starring in this episode is Amy Jo Johnson as Kimberly Ann Hart , David Yost as Billy Cranston , Paul Schrier as Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier , Jason Narvy as Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch , Richard Genelle as Ernie , Alexandra Wilson as Marge , David Fielding as the voice of Zordon , Richard Steven Horvitz as the voice of Alpha 5 , Barbara Goodson as the voice of Rita Repulsa , Kerrigan Mahan as the voice of Goldar , Robert Axelrod as the voice of Finster , Michael J. Sorich as the voice of Squatt , Dave Mallow as the voice of Baboo and Alex Borstein as the voice of Madame Woe.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Whilst nobody expects good acting from anything to do with Power Rangers it is always nice when we get exactly that and that is something that we did get with this episode all five ranger actors really growing into their riles and becoming more and more confident in playing them with this being something that does shine through in there acting in this episode episode. Yet we do still get alot of bad acting from the episodes guest actors this is something that is to be expected as they have no clue wat kind of show that this is and therefor they do overact alot of the time with Alexandra Wilson being a good example of that as she does give these over the top facial expressions and have this over the top way of speaking that whist yes does make her character perfect for Billy it is also something that does cause her to turn in a bad performance in the episode with the best actor in the episode being Alex Borstein as the voice of Madame Woe as she does give the character a suitably creepy voice which does go along way to make her character seem like more of a threat then what she actually is with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors alot to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hard the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.  

While we did have Squatt appear in American footage in "For Whom The Bell Trolls" thus making him the first villain to appear in American footage this episode does have a first as well as it's the first time that we see a fully morphed ranger appear in American footage. As we do get to see the blue ranger interact with both Marge ad Madam Woe with the other four rangers also being seen fully morphed interacting with Marge this is something that might be seen as being a small thing but given the fact that Power Rangers has always gotten at least fifty percent of it's footage from another show the fact that they have the morphed rangers appear in American footage is something that does help to trick us the audience into wondering if what we are watching is American footage or Japanese footage. With te blend being helped by the fact that alot of the American ranger footage happens in the dark and therefor we are unable to look alot closer at the suits and get a better look at them as that is something that would help us to tell apart just what bit of footage is coming from where and even Madame Woe herself does appear in one very small clip of American footage where they change the ending to the original Zyuranger episode where instead of having two spirits essentially reunite with one of them being on earth and the other being inside Madam Woe gem the ending now sees Billy grab Madam Woe's gem and crush it with that one brief bit of American footage causing a continuity issue as Madam Woe is seen missing her headdress in that bit of footage but the fact that they had all five rangers appear in American produced footage is still something to behold in it's own right and while the blend would be more common place in later seasons for this first batch of episodes it was a new thing.

Speaking of Madam Woe there is another issue that does come up but it's nothing to do with the character herself rather it's due to something that Rita says. With her demanding that Finster make her for her and yet in quite literally the very next scene Madam Woe is shown to working more of like a free agent of sorts with her being able to chose for whom she works with and when this is something that does make the previous scene with Rita be a huge mistake as now it looks like that Woe is both a free agent and yet also someone who is somehow made by Rita's clay when it would have worked just as well if the makers of this episode just went with one or the other. As they quite clearly had a Madame Woe suit made for the episode so they could have filmed a scene with her on Rita's moon base and cut around the fact that she and Rita are from totally different scenes or episodes and yet they somehow chose to go with both which is something that just doesn't work. Things are made just as worse when you take into account that Rita doesn't really have a plan in this episode which is fair enough as she also didn't have one in the Sentai episode either but given that Power Rangers already changes things from the Sentai then it would have made sense for them to alter this episode a tiny bit by making it seem like Rita has a plan with Madam Woe being a key part of it the episode isn't be any means harmed by her not having a plan as indeed alot of the early episodes of the show do follow the same suit but it is something that would made Rita seem more like a threat to the rangers instead of just someone who is mildly annoyed by them.

This episode despite it being a pretty average by the numbers episode of the show is also one that does get a few things right like for example it does do a good job building up the relationship between Billy and Marge to the point where you do want to see them together as they are essentially the same person just with different genders with this being something that we do see alot in the episode with it being made all the more sweet when it Billy that's the one that saves her and not one of the other rangers which is very easily could have been with this leading to a kind of funny moment when at the episode Marge is going on about how much she liked the blue ranger while Billy has to hide the fact that he is the blue ranger. With the other thing that the episode gets right is the fact that we do get someone other Zack or Jason be the main male hero of the episode as alot of the times in early Power Ranger it was either one of those two that got the spotlight episode with Billy only getting a small handful of them and yet whenever he does get them we do get to see just how much of a ladies man that he is and how much of a good sports player that she is and how much of a good dancer that he is all of which are things that while the latter two are mostly played for laughs to end out an episode do show us that Billy is lacking confidence in himself and yet when he does get that confidence he is able to do all of the things that his friends can do and sometimes even better. With him getting that confidence due to him being a Power Ranger as while in later episodes he would be able to more then hold his own in a fight here in this episode he's not that lucky and does call in his friends to help him out but when it comes to getting the ladies they are the ones that come to hm for help. 

Unlike alot of the episodes from this early era of the show this one does have more of a focus on the teens lives outside of being rangers. With this mainly being due to the fact that the sentai footage wouldn't have been usable alot of the time with this being something that does lead to there being long scenes just set at the Juice Bar which is fine as it is a nice set to look at but alot of the time tho there's nothing that's all that important to the plot of the episode happening outside of the opening scene where we see Billy and Marge agree to meet up and that's it and even then alot of that scene is filled up with typical Bulk and Skull hijinks which again is fine as you do expect that from Power Rangers but at the same time tho given just how light this episode is on footage there should have been a way to cut down the scenes at the Juice Bar to only the things that are important to the episodes plot. As we don't need to see Jason teaching Trini martial arts which in of it self makes no sense as she is shown to knowing martial arts in later episodes of the show and nor do we need to see Bulk crashing into a cake as it's just an unfunny setup to a slightly funny joke at the end of the episode. Rather what we do want to see is the Power Rangers doing there thing and while granted the original Sentai episode didn't have alot of scenes with them fighting in the suits so they couldn't do that much with them in the first place but what they could have done is have more scenes with them encountering Putties as that is something that would force them to go into action and given the fact that they do film original fight footage with them it is something that the makers of this show very easily could have done and worked into this episode in an organic way.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and six seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this how and to be fair this episode really doesn't need that long of a running time as it is the most basic Power Rangers episode that you can think off and therefor it really doesn't need a longer running time in order to tell its story in a way that does it justice with the episode even having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time in the first place as the episode is fairly basic in it's approach to telling the story with the episode spending a few minuets just in setting up the plot and the rest of the time is just spent with the rangers fighting the villain and that's it. The episode doesn't however use its running time all that wisely due to the fact that the episode doesn't take the time that it should have done in fully developing the episodes plot as while the episode doesn't have alot of usable fight footage what they could have done is instead use that extra time to fully develop it's plot as best as they could have done as this is still Power Rangers afterall and you don't go into Power Rangers expecting a well thought out plot but you do still want the plot of the episode to be just in general a bit more then what it is in the final episode as the episode seems to be more focused on showing the teens set up for this party then it is in giving us a well thought plot. This is also something that does effect the episodes character development as well but to much more lesser extent as you can argue that the rangers don't need character development in this episode due to them getting it in other episodes which is fair enough and with Marge quite clearly being a one off character she doesn't really need it either but it still have been nice if Billy did get a little something in the way of character development tho but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented t us in this very episode well then in all honesty I inn all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode not having that much action in it with this being due to the fact that the sentai episode that this episode is based off of didn't feature a zord fight and therefor the makers of this episode had to invent an action scene just to get to the Power Rangers alot more quickly then what would have been the case. With the best action scene in the episode being the unmorphed fight with the rangers taking n the putties which was a really cool scene as we do get to see just much more stronger that the rangers have grown since the first episode where they were barely able to fight them off on their own and yet here in this episode all except Billy are more then able to hold there own against them with it being helped by the fact that we do get to see both both Trini and Zack do some pretty cool moves during the scene with Zack fighting two of them whilst lying down on a park bench and Trini does a pretty leg sweep combo which is something that does look really cool with the only thing that let's this action down in the episode being the fact that we don't get to see alot of scenes with them fighting as the Power Rangers which is yes more of an issue with the sentai then it is this episode but at the same time it would have been pretty cool to see more of them fighting Madam Woe fully morphed with this episodes other action scene being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst both the live show ad the movie proved that the makers of this show really can produce good suit fights for the rangers it was this episode that really did prove that we can also get alot of really cool unmorphed fights as well that work really well and while yes this episode really is just a stereotypical episode of the show it is still an entertaining watch in its own right in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and a such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "For Whom The Bell Trolls" Review

People say that Power Rangers was a goofy show especially in it's early years and for the most part they are right. As the show did have it's more goofy episodes however what alot of people seem to forget that this show was based off of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger also had it's fair share of goofy episodes with the episode of Power Rangers that i'm going to be talking to you all about today being a good example of just how goofy Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger was alot of the time and so then join me as I review the episode that has a dreadful ending with the episode in question being called simply just "For Whom The Bell Trolls" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Trini falls asleep and her favorite doll is kidnapped and turned evil by Rita it's up to the rangers to the giant doll and rescue Billy and Trini who have been captured by the doll before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Plot wise this episode was about as good as it was ever going to be given that the original sentai episode that this episode is based off of also had a really goofy premise to it and to this episodes credit they do there best to make what was a really silly plot in the original now be a bit less silly and bit less goofy and yet in doing that the plot does also loose alot of it's charm as this is an episode that should have been more silly ad should have been more goofy just to show the fact that Rita is willing to do anything to defeat these teenagers. The plot of this episode does also have more then a few things in it that don't make sense one of which will be getting discussed later on in the review but the other one is that for some reason it's Trini and Billy that go looking for her doll it makes sense for why Trini was looking for it as it's her doll afterall but why is Billy going as from a storyline point of view that doesn't make sense as yes those two are each others best friends but surely Billy would have his own thing to do and while that is a small issue it is one that does show that relying on previously shot footage can also cause things to not make sense and heck the plot of the episode isn't that's that well thought out but given the ending of the episode that is something that can be slightly over looked with the plot of the episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Austin St. John as Jason Lee Scott , Thuy Trang as Trini Kwan and Walter Jones as Zack Taylor. Also starring in this episode is Amy Jo Johnson as Kimberly Ann Hart , David Yost as Billy Cranston , Paul Schrier as Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier , Jason Narvy as Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch , Royce Herron as Ms. Appleby , David Fielding as the voice of Zordon , Richard Steven Horvitz as the voice of Alpha 5 , Barbara Goodson as the voice of Rita Repulsa , Kerrigan Mahan as the voice of Goldar , Robert Axelrod as the voice of Finster , Melanie Neat as Squatt , Michael J. Sorich as the voice of Squatt , Dave Mallow as the voice of Baboo and Tom Wyner as the voice of Mr. Ticklesneezer.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. The acting in this episode is about what you would expect from early Power Rangers seasons as yes the actors are nearly all over the top in their performances especially those that are playing the rangers themselves but that's something does add to the charm of the show and this episode as this episode is a bit more lighthearted and therefor having these more over the top performances is something that does work well withing the context of the episode that doesn't make it good tho. Yet you can still see that the actors playing the rangers are now trying to turn in good performances with this being something that does make sense as they are getting to grips with there characters and while the acting from the ranger actors is getting better the acting from the newly introduced characters like Royce Herron as Ms. Appleby is about on par with how bad the acting was from all of the shows actors back in episode one of the show. With the best actor in this episode being Thuy Trang as Trini Kwan as this is her spotlight episode and she does make the most of it by showing us that Trini is more then the technical translator for Billy as Thuy does get to show of her more caring almost motherly side to her with that being something that does sine through in her performance with the acting that's in this episode nor really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so bad as t gives none of this episodes actors all that much to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place with this being something that does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

As with any episode of Power Rangers there is going to be some changes made from the original episode. With this episode not really being any different as in the original episode the character that we know as as Mr. Ticklesneezer isn't a doll that's brought to life for no good reason rather he's hapless dwarf that doesn't really know any better and is threatened by Rita into working for her with Mr. Ticklesneezer being a kind hearted sole who likes to make things with him capturing things so that he can make his models of them more accurate. This change alone makes the character more kind hearted in nature as he's being forced into doing these evil things whereas in this episode it comes across as him still being this kind hearted person as he does give back everything that he stole when the rangers ask him to it but he also comes across as being a bit less dumb as he knows that Rita is evil and yet he still chooses to work for her which makes no sense in terms of how this version of this character is being shown as surely if your a kind hearted person then you'd want to avoid working for someone that you know for sure is evil. With alot of the other changes in this episode being more smaller things like there is a kid character that does team up with Mr. Ticklesneezer who is almost completely gone from the episode with it being him that takes the bike due to Ticklesneezer allowing him to use his bottle and all of the other objects taken cause such a panic that it makes the news where as here there's zero news coverage which is fine as it's a small change and doesn't really effect the plot of the episode infact it could be argued that none of the changes made to the original episode effect it's plot.

This episode does the worst thing that any TV show could have done for it's ending by revealing that the entire episode was just a dream that Trini was having. Much like how Dallas ended it's ninth season this ending makes no sense as it would mean that Trini would have to know exactly what Rita's palace looks like in order for her to dream about and she would have to know what alot of her minions would sound like amongst other things whereas in the original episode that ended it with Ticklesneezer walking off into the distance and vowing to maybe come back one day and yet here in this episode they do away with that sweet and perfectly acceptable ending all for no reason. Heck they could have had the whole thing be real and have it be explained that the doll has now returned to it's doll form which yes granted isn't that good of an ending either but it's also alot more better then the ending then what we ended up with as that ending just doesn't work with it feeling like that the makers of this episode really didn't know how to end the episode with them instead choosing the laziest ending that they could have done and called it a day. This is a show where the main villainess of this season is a witch you could literally come up with anything and make it work and yet they instead chose to go with the option that even fans of Dallas hated when they did it this wouldn't be a bad thing if this was the middle of the episode and it was going to be revealed that Trini was caught in some sort of trap but no it's the actual ending and it's one that just doesn't work both for this episode and for the show as a whole as the show is usually pretty good with giving us endings that are satisfactory and while this episode does get a pass for it being apart of the first batch episodes it is something that the makers of this episode should have thought more about.

To be fair to this episode this episode does do the best that it could have done given just how goofy that the original episode was. With the episode being turned from something that just a comedy with a small bit of action in it into something that is more story focused and action focused with there only being the typical early Power Rangers comedy at the start and end of the episode which is something that dies make this episode feel more serious then what it should have been as by all rights given the premise of even this episode this is one that should have been alot of more goofy and should have been alot more fun and while it does make sense that the makers of this would tone done the goofiness of the original episode. As this is meant to be a more serious show it still would have been quite fun to see the original episode as it was meant to be seen only with the Power Rangers actors in it as you very easily could have had this episode be placed right before the Green With Evil arc and have this episode be sort of a calm before the storm type of episode which is something that this show does do quite well. While it does make sense that it wasn't done for this episode as they were still trying to work out just what this show could be it is something that does leave this episode in a bit of an odd place as for example we have scenes with Rita complaining about how she never got to play with dolls due to having to learn spells which is a goofy scene but then the episode follows that up by having more serious moments like having Billy and Trini be trapped in what is possibly Trini's car which does give the episode more of an odd tone where both the silly aspects of the episode clash with it's more serious nature.

Power Rangers is usually very good with hiding the fact that it's actually using Japanese footage outside of the fact that you do see Japanese signs and people. However in this episode that forgot to edit out the character of Toshio as even tho he plays a big role in the original episode in this version of the episode tho the makers of the episode do have to cut him out as it would mean having to dub not only him but also his mother and school teacher and also give him a part in the plot which would have been a bit much for the episode to do therefor he is mostly edited out of the episode with him only appearing in one unedited scene near the end of the Megazord battle with this being something that very easily could have been edited around as well as they could have cut to stock footage on the Megazords face for a brief shot or to inside of the cockpit with some stock footage yet for whatever reason the makers of this episode left the character in the episode granted they might not have noticed him at the time of editing or just thought that since the shot doesn't last for very long in the first place that people might not catch it either one is fair enough as we wouldn't have been able to slow down the episode back in the nineties but it's something that once you see it you really can't unsee it with the fact that it's in the episode at all making the editors of this episode seem lazy as they would have had enough stock footage of the Megazords face that they could have cut to do to make the scene work and yet they didn't do it. With this being something that does make it obvious that this is a Japanese show and while the fans back in the nineties such as myself wouldn't have noticed this it is still something that does make the episode unintentionally hilarious as we now have a random giant boy in the scene for quite literally no reason what so ever.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and sixteen seconds. With this episodes running time pretty much being the bogstandard running time for the rest of the show as well and to be fair to this episode this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to cover that amount of running time this is of course is despite the fact that the episode really doesn't use its running time all that wisely. As the episode doesn't really take the time to fully its plot which is something that you did kind of expect from this show as the main focus of this show has never been and will never be its plot rather it will always be its action which is fair enough and to be fair to this episode this is the kind of episode that really doesn't require having a deep and well thought plot inorder for it to work and given the fact that so much of the plot of this episode does originally involve a character that is mostly cut out of the episode it does result in an episode that does have a plot that feels really underbaked with the same thing also being true for the episodes character development as well as none of the episodes characters get character development of any kind which again is fair as you could make the case that the characters would get there development in the next set of episodes. However tho it still would have been nice for the makers of this episode to at the vert least lay the groundwork for some of the characters character development even if it's just something small like Bulk and Skull being confronted by Mr. Ticklesneezer and choosing not be afraid of him only for them to run away when Goldar shows up which would have been small but it would have something but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action how that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With the episodes action being really well done with this of course being due to the fact that it was filmed for another show entirely but even so this episodes action was really well done and while it would have been slightly if the makers of this episode did add in an unmorphed fight with either the Putties or Squatt for example before then morphing to take on both the putties and Goldar just having them jump right to the morphed fight worked just as well. With the best action scene in this entire episode being the grounded fight with the rangers taking on the Putties and Goldar with the scene having the added drama of Kim trying to capture and then uncork Ticklesneezers bottle all before the train comes and runs them over which is something that might be small but it does add in that extra level of threat that wouldn't have been there otherwise and while the Megazord fight is good it's a fight that's not as good as it could have been due to the fact that due to the lack of Megazord fight footage that there is for this episode the makers of this episode couldn't have the fight last all that long which does result in the fight being over just as should have been getting going with it being made clear as day that the makers of this episode did put alot more thought and effort into giving us some really good action as that is where this episode does shine best with the rest of the episodes action being really good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this episode isn't the best of the early Power Rangers episodes out there it's also not the worst one either with this episode more then proving that this show isn't fully to blame for being goofy as the original show was just as goofy with this episode being a really fun filled episode to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers "A Bad Reflection On You" Review

One of the favorite things for the Power Rangers to do is to have an evil Ranger with this being mist well done in the Green With Evil five parter. However many people seem to forget or just straight up don't know about the fact that season of this show also did another episode where clones of the rangers were used to destroy their reputation and it's that very episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today an so then join me as I review the episode that really is basically just The Breakfast Club but with Power Rangers with the episode in question being called simply just "A Bad Reflection On You" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when evil clone of the rangers are sent to Earth by Rita to destroy the rangers reputation it's up to the Rangers to breakout of detention and save the world once again. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as this episodes plot does have a few things going for it but in saying that it does also have alot of things thar are working against it like the fact that Rita's evil plan for this episode is just to destroy the rangers reputation and that's really it which even for her does come across as being a bit on the weak side of things with even the plot of the episode itself not really being the strongest Power Rangers plot out there as it does feel like that this whole episode could have been wrapped up in about five minuets but for whatever reason the makers of this show thought that this episodes plot was good enough to be made into a full length episode when it really isn't and this is coming from a show where the plots are pretty formulaic at best and yet here what we got plot wise was basically a knock of of The Breakfast Club only it's now got Power Rangers in it as both the plot of this episode and the plot of that film are so strikingly similar to one another that they are basically the same story just told a little bit differently is all but in saying that tho this episodes plot is a pretty fun plot with it knowing that it's a bad episode and is therefor just willing to have alot of fun with it with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Sorich as the voice of Squatt , Dave Mallow as the voice Baboo , Wendee Swan as the voice of Scorpina and Bryan Cranston as the voice of Twin Man.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty i in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty alot more better then what it really had any right to be. As by all rights this episodes acting should have been really bad as this is a plot that really doesn't require the best acting in it in the first place and given that Power Rangers still isn't best known for it's great acting it's shocking to see the acting that was in this episode was actually pretty good granted it's not OSCAR worthy acing but at the same time tho it was never going to be with this episodes actors even turning in some really good performances in their own right as well which is something that does make alot of sense when it comes to the series main actors as they'd been playing there characters for quite sometime at this point in time and so they would have gotten a much more better grip on there characters and can deliver the kind of performance that would best suit there respective characters with it really being hard to say just who the best actor is in this episode as without going the more cliche route and say that it's Bryan Cranston the best actor in this episode would have to be Thuy Trang as even tho she doesn't get alot of lines in this episode what little lines that she does get she makes them count which does make you remember just how good of an actor that she really was with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script was just so bad as it gives none f this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities was even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

What felt really weird in this episode was the fact that the characters of Bulk & Skull were thrown into detention with the rest of the rangers this is despite the fact that Bulk & Skull as far as we'd seen haven't done anything wrong. Which does make there inclusion in this episode feel pretty pointless as all they are there to do is just to give the rangers a small off handed hint that somethings not right just by having Kim turn down another date from Skull something which her evil counterpart failed to do and even then that doesn't really require them to be in the episode as much as they are they as the rangers know full well that somethings up just by the fact that the got detention for doing nothing at all and the fact that there's a news report with there evil counterparts attacking the city which does make the inclusion of Bulk & Skull in this episode feel pretty pointless despite there somewhat expended roles in the episode now if Bulk & Skull were present when the evil rangers pulled there prank and Mr. Caplan assumed that they were in on it just due to the fact hat there schools bullies then what would be a different thing as that would be one character just simply making a rash decision and that's really it but it's the fact that they weren't there in the first place with them only appearing before the prank talk place and yet still round up in detention with the rangers granted they could have been punished for doing something else which would be fair enough but the episode doesn't tell us that so therefor we have to assume that there being punished for the same thing that the rangers did which is something that's just unfair as they technically do nothing wrong the entire episode. 

Whilst there was another episode earlier on in season 1 of this show that did have two of the original five rangers be turned evil this is the first time that we see evil clones of the rangers. With really the only thing that makes them evil is the fact that when they remove there glasses there eyes glow red for some bizarre reason as they don't dress any different from the rangers but in fairness to this episode they all do act differently from them with them all acting like school bullies with Billy even shoving down one of the more geekier kids in school and while the idea of the showing us the evil clones is a cool idea it is something that does make you wonder how Rita knows what the rangers look like unmorphed because she quite clearly does know what they look like unmorphed and yet the worst thing that she has them don is pull a prank on the school Principal when they would have been able to teleport into the command centre and attack Zordon and possibly even destroy the base something which would hsve helped her out in her quest to destroy the world and while yes just attacking the school does make sense as this is still a kids shows afterall from the point of view of the villain and from within the confides of the show itself it's not somethin that does make that much sense as she's meant to be this all evil character who is hell bent on destroying the world and the rangers and here she has the golden opportunity to do just that by having the evil clones attack the rangers command centre and Zordon and Alpha an yet she doesn't take it but to give her some credit the idea of creating evil clones of the rangers is a good idea as it is something that does leave you wondering who is the good guy and who is the bad guy when it come to the final fight.

Early episodes of this show is also slightly known for it's continuity issues due to the fact that the Sentai footage doesn't always match with what there showing on screen. With the same thing being true here as well as the in the final fight the rangers go from celebrating on a street to being in the middle of something else that has a giant flower celebration type of object in the middle of it which is something that you can sort of look past as you could argue that it was there all along and that we just never saw it however the issues still continue after that as we see at the very least two very Japanese looking kids approaching Billy in the wide shot and yet in the close up shot it's one very white looking older lady and one man this is a case where the makers of this episode should have tried to hire Asian looking actors as extra as that's something that would have helped to blend the Japanese footage alot more better with the American footage as as by not doing that all it does is create continuity issues but again this isn't something that's exclusive to this episode as it's something that also happens quite alot in the show as a whole as well and while some of it isn't that really that noticeable as you can edit around certain things to blend the scenes together more smoothly here it did feel like that the makers of this show just couldn't be bothered to do that and so they kept in the continuity error with Billy most likely thinking that the kid audience wouldn't notice it which is fair enough and again to be fair nobody really notices all of the continuity issues when it comes to the episodes action scenes in the first place as alot of that isn't due to the fault of this show as there just making the best with what footage that they've got to work with in the first place.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and six seconds. Which in all fairness to this episode is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show at this point in time with the episode not quite having enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time as you very easily could have told this episodes entire plot in about five to ten minuets just by removing or cutting upon all of the stuff in the school's detention as alot of that really isn't needed as it adds nothing to the plot of the episode and is only there for pure filler with the episode really using it's running tom as wisely as it could have done as while yes granted this episode doesn't fully develop it's plot at the same time it really doesn't need to as you all you really need for a show like Power Rangers is just the basic premise and that's it and while yes alot of the multipart episode do benefit from having a well more developed plot this isn't an episode that really needs as this is meant to be the calm before the storm as just two episodes later we'd get the Doomsday two parter with this episode not even fully developing any of it's characters either which again it really doesn't need to as you could very well make the case for the previous episodes giving all the main hero characters all of the development that they need with even Bulk & Skull get there character developed over the course of several series but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really bad pacing to it tho as to be blunt the episode and more importantly the final fight scene goes by far to quickly for us the audience to fully enjoy it.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of really cool action in it with the only thing that does let the action down is the fact that you really can't tell who the good rangers are and who the evil rangers which yes is due to the Sentai footage but at the same time there could have been something added to the suits of the evil rangers just to make them standout a bit even if it's something as simple as adding a slight glitter effect to them as that then would make it so much more easier for us the audience to tell just who the good rangers are and who the evil rangers with the best action scene in this whole entire episode also being the only action scene in this episode and that's the final fight between both sets of rangers as it will always be cool seeing the hero rangers fighting there evil clones with the camera even doing some really cool looking one shot moves as well which is something that only served to make the action even more cooler then what it already is with this episodes action being helped by the fact that the even the hero rangers can't tell each other apart which does an extra layer of drama to the scene as you never really know if the person that there attacking is a friend or foe which is something that does make that action scene all the more exciting in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall whilst it is hard to say if this is the best episode of the show or not as there are countless others from countless season that could very easily take that claim what can be said tho is that despite all of this episodes flaws that this episode really is a fun filled episode that is pure fun to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always TV Special Review

There are a great deal a many TV shows that when you watch them as a kid they just stick with you and because of that they manage to break into the mainstream. Well that was the case with the first season of Power Rangers as back when it was first released back the nineties you really couldn't escape it and because of that love and passion for the franchise the franchise itself has been going for over thirty years spanning multiple seasons of a TV show three movies , countless video games , a live show and countless comic books and that's not to mention all of the toys that have been released for each season of the show well then the time to came to mark the franchises thirtieth it was only about right that the special focus on soe of the team that really started it all and so then join me as I give you my review of the special that sees the classic rangers return to take on a classic villain with the special in question being called simply just "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" enjoy.

The plot of this special when the evil sorcerous Rita Repulsa is accidentally brought back to life by blue ranger Billy and when his team suffers a great tragedy it's up to Bill , Zack , Kat and Rocky to defeat this robo menace before she manages to change history forever. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good as the plot of this special not only recaptures the magic of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but it also updates it in ways that make it feel more adult and have it tackle more serious themes that they couldn't possibly tackle in an episode of the show and while yes the plot of this episode could have been better as they write of Jason , Kim and Tommy in a way that goes against there characters the plot of this special is also one that could have been alot more worse then what the ultimately ended up getting as it would have been super easy to just put in a lackluster plot and sap the Power Rangers name on it and call it a day but they don;t as there quite clearly is alot of love and effort put into this specials plot and that is something that really shine through with the plot of this special also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this special is Walter Jones as Zack Taylor , David Yost as Billy Cranston and Steve Cardenas as Rocky DeSantos. Also starring in this special is Catherine Sutherland as Katherine "Kat" Hillard-Oliver , Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam Park , Karan Ashley as Aisha Campbell , Charlie Kersh as Minh Kwan , Richard Steven Horvitz as the voice of Alpha 8 and the voice of Alpha 9 , Barbara Goodson as the voice of Robo-Rita Repulsa , Ryan Cooper as the voice of Robo-Minotaur and Daniel Watterson as the voice of Robo-Snizzard.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting hat's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good. Which for Power Rangers is kind of rare thing as this franchise isn't really known for having good acting in it and if you want proof of that just watch any episode of the show or any of the movies which means that it really is surprising when this show does produce some really good acting in it as is the case with this special as even tho some of this specials returning cast embers had given up acting after they left the show they all very easily slip back into there roles as if they had just finished playing them the day before they were all due to start filming this special with the standout performer for this episode being Charlie Kersh as Minh Kwan who is just so good in this special that if she really wanted to she could very easily make it as an actress and it makes you wonder why they didn't have her appear with Billy unmorphed for Cosmic Fury as she really is just so good in this special with the acting that's in this special really being helped by the fact that this special script is just so good that all this specials actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.

For once it's impossible to tell who did the CGI for this special as there are no effects company listed anywhere online or in the specials end credits. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty perso0 ally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad a CGI in Power Rangers has typically been really bad and yet here the effects actually look really good and while yes granted this special effects aren't feature film worthy but they were never meant to be as they were meant to be effects that look like that they would belong in the world of this show and to that degree this special effects worked really well with all of the blasts from Rita looking really good and while it would have been cooler if the blasts from Rita left some impact on the ground just to really sell that these blasts are powerful and could be quite painful where the effects do kind of fail is when it comes to Snizzard who when he's made to grow does become a computer effect and it looks really bad as it because obvious that it's a computer effect and not just a man in a suit which looked really better with the same thing also being true for the Megazord which when it was done in the nineties looked really good because it was a man in a suit and while the effects on the Megazord do look good your never going to do doing something for real. 

While this special isn't the first one to feature the death of a Power Ranger as that honor goes to Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and it's not even the first one to feature the death of a ranger on screen. What sets this apart from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is the fact that the original yellow ranger actress did die in real life with this special killing off her character and that is something that sets this special apart from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy with this whole special pretty much being a feature length tribute to Trini Kwan which is something that does make sense as she was one the original five rangers but at the same time tho it would have been nice to have some of the focus of this special be on the other Rangers as well as this special is meant to celebrate Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a whole and not just the one character however tho it does make sense that the special address her death as it's something that would have been a huge elephant in the room and as a result of that is the fact that not only addressing it within the first few minuets of the special but also making it a huge plot point not only for the special but also for the character of Minh it does seem oddly fitting not only for this franchise but for the character of Trini as well as to many she is the best yellow ranger that the show has ever had and to have the special focus on her death really does set this special apart from an average episode of the show itself.

To give you all an idea of how adult that this special is they use the words kill and revenge quite alot in this special. Which might not seem like a big thing but please do bare in mind that Power Rangers has never ever used the word kill and hasn't really used the word revenge at least not that often and yet there used all of the time in this special and there used in ways that help to advance the character of Minh which is useful thing to do as her whole storyline is all about her trying to get revenge for the death of her mother and her learning that getting revenge won;t bring her mother back and sort of forms of cycle where each person involved is trying to get revenge on the other and on the flip side of that is the fact that we see Robo-Rita who has already gone down the path of revenge that Minh is currently going down and we see how that isn't the best way to go about things and how that can drive you to do things that will hurt you in the longer with Minh only coming round to seeking justice and not revenge after she saves two random innocent people from a putty attack but the message does kind of watered down when we see Billy quite literally stab Robo-Rita in the back with his Power-Lance but even then it could be argues that it was done to stop Robo-Rita from completing her plan and not to get revenge on her for killing off Trini with the very fact that he stabbed someone with his weapon also being something that we would never ever get to see in the actual show itself either.

Speaking of Robo-Rita she was a decent villain as it does make sense that she would be the main villain of this special as she is the villain that you think of when you think of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. With the character even having a good plan in that she wants to open a portal to the day in 1993 when she first got out of her space dumpster in order to give her advice on how to kill the rangers before they were actually rangers with this not only effecting the the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but all rangers teams as well which is a solid enough plan and it does feel in character for her but at the same time tho the character oddly feels incomplete with the rest of her sidekicks there to help her out and to serve of comedy relief as there's no Squat , Baboo , Finster or Goldar in this special when it would have been fun to see those characters back in this special and it would have made sense to have them back as all of those character any worked with Rita in the original show and yet not only are they nowhere to be seen in this special the characters aren't even mentioned in this special as well when the special could have added them in not only to add some comedy into the special but it would also make this reunion special actually feel more like a reunion special but even with out all of those characters Robo-Rita is still a really good villain who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job down and is actually quite smart as she's not just attacking Angel Grove she's attacking every place that has Rangers teams in them and she even has a device that allows her to track a team of rangers when there morphed which is a smart thin to do.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and eight seconds. Which is a really solid for this special to have as this special really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time and even the fact that this special has that long of a running time really does make it feel all the more special as it's quite literally the length of three episodes of the show and yet here it doesn't really feel that long as while yes those of us who grew up with the show are getting all of these cool little throwbacks to either iconic locations or even just by having the use of the iconic theme song at the start of the special it is something that does make this special feel more like a feature film as due to the fact that it's almost one hour long it also mean that the special really does have the time to fully develop it's plot in a way that the an episode of the show really wouldn't have the time to do and it also means that this special can also fully develop it's new characters as well with the best example of this being Minh herself who goes from someone who is rather understandably upset at Billy for the part that he played in the death of her mum to then fully understanding that it wasn't his fault to fully understanding what it truly means to be a Power Ranger and that is something that makes her come across as being amore likable character then what she really could have done and it's also something that the average episode of the show wouldn't be able to do with there shorter running times but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is ana action special that really does mean that I have to actually talk the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty. Which really isn't something that's all that surprising as the show has always had some really good looking action in it with this special not really being an except to that as we get to see noy only some really good an exciting fully morphed fights but there are also some really good unmorphed fights as well which is something that the franchise barely does well but when the show did them well you got something that's truly special and that's we got here as alot of this special felt truly special and while the action in this special did get let down by the CGI megazord and Snizzard fight when the fight is just the rangers taking either the Putty's , Snizzard , Robo-Minotaur or even Robo-Rita for that matter it was usually a very good fight scene with the best example of this being the first fight scene in the special as it gave you everything that you truly want to see in a Power Rangers special as you have not only all six original rangers fighting Rita and the Putty's but you also have the classic Power Rangers theme song playing in the background which just makes the fight all the more better in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this special was a great to celebrate Power Rangers thirtieth anniversary and with the franchise seemingly on hold for the time it does serve as a great way to show us just how good the franchise could be when it's under the right hands and got the right people working on it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very review being the really great the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page really simply really is just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of with really all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers " I, Eye Guy" Review

It's been a good few months since I last reviewed an episode of Power Rangers and even longer since it was an episode of the show that started it all. As such it was only about right that I kill two birds with one stone and review a very early episode of the show and so then join me as I review the episode that oddly enough includes virtual reality with the episode in question being called simply just " I, Eye Guy" enjoy.

The plot of the episode whilst helping there new friend Willy enter an invention of his into the local Science fair the rangers have to fend off an attack from Rita who hopes to steal Willy's intelligence. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as while the plot doesn't really get alot of focus heck they don't even explain why these teenagers would be hanging out with a presumably eleven year old kid in the first place the plot of Power Rangers has never been it's strongest suit and with a more simple plot that's very to follow along with like this one it doesn't get in the way of the episodes which has always been the highlight of any given Power Rangers episode and while yes it would have been nice of the plot was alot more developed beyond it's basic set up and formular at this point in the franchises long and storied history it really didn't to be that developed as that is something that would have gotten in the way of the episodes action as well with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaing and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Austin St. John as Jason Lee Scott , Thuy Trang as Trini Kwan and Walter Jones as Zack Taylor. Also starring in this episode is Amy Jo Johnson as Kimberly Ann Hart , David Yost as Billy Cranston , Paul Schrier as Farkas "Bulk" Bulkmeier , Jason Narvy as Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch , Richard Genelle as Ernie , Brianne Siddall as the voice of Willy , Tom Wyner as The Professor , David Fielding as the voice of Zordon Richard Steven Horvitz as the voice of Alpha 5 , Barbara Goodson as the voice of Rita Repulsa , Kerrigan Mahan as the voice of Goldar , Robert Axelrod as the voice of Finster , Michael J. Sorich as the voice of Squatt , Dave Mallow as the voice of Baboo and Doug Stone as the voice of Eye Guy.

Now then  interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As just like the plot of any given Power Rangers episode the acting in Power Rangers has also never really been it's strongest suit and yet even so once you get alot of the bad acting especially from these early episodes you can quite clearly see all of the actors trying to turn in a really good performance and whilst some do do better then others with alot of them still acting to this very day it's also really hard to deney the fact that bad will always be bad acting and while yes there are some good performances in this episode with the true stand out being David Yost as Billy Cranston we then also get a very wooden from Brianne Siddall as the voice of Willy who just really cannot act at all with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even mean to be in this first place which is something that really harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

This episode does also intrude a pretty creepy looking villain as well with Eye Guy being mostly made up of eyes. Which just that idea in of itself is a really creepy idea but then they add in the fact that the characters kidnaps children by using ne giant eye which just makes him all the more creepier but what lets the character down is the fact that he can defeated really easily as all the rangers have to do is just attack that one giant eye and he goes down defeated which makes hi seem like a really easy villain to defeat when they could have been a more creative way to destroy him like maybe on the inside he has one giant eye and his outside is effectively just an armour and given that he has many eyes maybe he can see all of there attacks coming from multiple different angels thus causing the rangers to have to think outside of the box to defeat him this would in turn make the rangers more smarter and force them to come up with a battle strategy instead of just relying on what's worked in the past and just attacking him head on and hoping for the best and while yes the rangers this early on aren't the well oiled machine that they would become later in the show they've been fighting Rita for up to two months at this point in time and so there has to be a sign of the rangers getting better and making Eye Guy a tough opponent for them to defeat would be a great to showcase that and not just have him go down rather easily. 

To put it rather bluntly Willy in this episode is pretty much just a younger Billy only without the glasses. This isn't really that much of an issue as at this point time the show is mostly known for using stereotypical characters and giving them the bare bones of something that makes them stand out which in Willy's case is the fact that he has a lucky hat and that's really it as there's nothing about his character that makes him standout from all of the other characters in the episode outside of the fact that he some how invented VR gaming and that's really it and heck even the fact that he's an inventor could have been given to someone like Billy who we all know is an inventor and nothing about the actual plot of the episode would need to be changed as since this very early on in the Power Rangers series you could have Billy be the one that's kidnaped as he's still not that good a fighter yet and having a strong enough monster like Eye Guy kidnap him would make sense but at the same time tho Willy does serve the purpose of having someone who Billy can talk to who is on the same intellectual level as him and doesn't serve as the groups translator for him like Trini does in most episodes but there's still nothing to his character and while that is to be expected from Power Rangers it is still something that should have been addressed as even kids deserve to have fully rounded characters even if they are only appearing in just the one episode.

For some strange reason the second that the Rangers find Willy's missing hat they all straight away assume that Rita has something to do it. Even tho the only thing that they've seen from her was a putty attack near the start of the episode while yes Rita was the one that sent down Eye Guy to capture Willy in the first place it's odd that the rangers would just jump to that conclusion right away with there not being enough evidence to back that claim up as for all they could know it might not have been Rita that did it as it could have been one of her minions that did it for her and not actually Rita herself and while yes she was the only bad guy at this point in time it was a safe bet to assume that it was her but given that they know that Rita came from outer space it's also safe to assume that she knew other people and that maybe it was one of those people that were attacking the earth without her knowing about it and while this is something that could have explained if the rangers got visual confirmation that it was her doing like maybe they saw Squatt and Baboo helping out Eye Guy before they morphed to take him the very fact that they didn't see it any of that and just assumed it was her right away just felt a little big off like the writers of this episode were just feeling lazy and wanted to get to the end of the episode quickly so that they could cash the check and as such little things like that do slip by and make there way into the episodes final script.

Speaking of Rita this is perhaps the least amount of screen time that she gets in any given episode as she only shows at least three times in the episode. All of which are to do the things that she's known for doing in setting up then monster of the episode . making him grow when the episodes monster is defeated the first time around and complaining about a headache at the end of the episode which really isn't a problem as the show is still sticking to it's hugely successful formular at this point in time but at the same time tho none of her scenes are all that interesting to watch which wouldn't be an issue if there was something funny happening in them but there isn't and as a result of that is the fact they they feel like that there just because of the fact that they have to be there for the shows formular to work and not because of the fact that the plot of the episode demands that they be there as the episode really could have taken the time to give her something funny to say or do in her scenes but they don't and outside of sending down the putty's to attack the rangers near the start of the episode she doesn't really play that much of an active role in the plot of the episode while the opposite might be true for Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger it is something that does feel odd and out of place in this episode but less so as this is still a very early episode of the show.

Now the this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly nineteen minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is a little bit on the short ide of things but is still pretty much the bogstandard running tie for this show at this point in time with the episode really having just the right there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho the episode really does feel like it's missing a couple scenes like there were scenes cut out from the episode in order to fit into that running time and while the lace of the episode isn't really effected to much it really does start to take notice when at nearly nine or ten minuets into the episode Rangers unprovoked by Eye Guy escalate the situation by morphing at the command centre all for no reason when they should have at the very least tried to take him down in the civilian clothes first before then morphing to take him on with the lack of scenes also oddly enough making the episode feel incomplete as there are things that could have explained like the fact that when Rita is first spying on the rangers near the start of the episode she straight up calls them the Rangers and yet it's never explained how she really knows for a fact that it's them which is something that really should have been explained but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really bad pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then  in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes action really being the best part of the episode as it is with any Power Rangers episode as you get to see the rangers doing alot of cool looking moves and that just look as cool now as they did back then but the action is also something that's lets down due to the this episodes short running time as alot of it really does feel rushed and as a result of that is the fact that we the audience aren't given enough time to fully enjoy the action because just as soon as it gets going it's all over with alot of this episodes action being super fast paced when it really doesn't need to e as they very easily could have had some super cool looking action and still have it the same type of pacing that it was at at earlier points in earlier episodes of the show and while yes this is still a very early episode of the show and as such the makers of the show were still trying to find out what worked and what didn't work having faster pace action is really something that really doesn't work at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this episode is still a really good episode in it's own right it's still one that has alot of the problems that are all over these early episodes of the show but at the same time tho for those who are willing to look past all of those issues then there is a really good and really enjoyable episode to be found here in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now the as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
