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.  

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 , Harold Cannon as Mr. Caplan . Robert L. Manahan 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 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.

Power Rangers In Space "Shell Shocked" Review

The turtles and crossovers are two things that go hand in hand with each other as the TMNT have done quite a few crossovers in the past. However none of those crossovers are as weird as the one that i'm going to be talking today as this crossover straight up confirms that the Next Mutation turtles exist in the same world as both Power Rangers and oddly enough Masked Rider as well and so then join me as I review that sees the turtles head into outer space with the episode in question being called simply just "Shell Shocked" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when the rangers recent arch nemesis Astronema kidnaps the turtles and puts them under a spell so that she is in control of them it's up to the rangers to stop there new friends and restore there spaceship 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 as the plot of the episode did allow for some fun interactions between the rangers and the turtles but at the same time tho it was weird seeing the turtles mostly act as the antagonists for the episode when the shows target audience would have been more used to seeing them as heroes and while the episode does provide an in-story explanation as to why there acting this way it still weird to see them acting as villains in this episode with this episodes feeling a little bit on the weak side with this being because of the fact that even tho the turtles themselves were set up at the end of previous episode nothing plot wise was set up then with this episodes plot feeling like it would have been done better if it was a two part plot as then the plot of the episode would have alot more time to breathe and we the audience would have alot more time to take in the fact that we're seeing the Power Rangers crossover with the Ninja Turtles 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 Christopher Khayman Lee as Andros , Roger Velasco as Carlos Vallerte and Selwyn Ward as T.J. Johnson. Also starring in this episode is Tracy Lynn Cruz as Ashley Hammond , Patricia Ja Lee as Cassie Chan , Wendee Lee as the voice of Alpha 6 , Julie Maddalena as the voice of D.E.C.A. , Christopher Cho as the voice of Dark Specter , Melody Perkins as Astronema , Derek Stephen Prince as the voice of Elgar and as the voice of Raphael , Blake Torney as the voice of Electrotramp , Michael Reisz as the voice of Leonardo , Ezra Weisz as the voice of Donatello , Tony Oliver as the voice of Michelangelo and Tifanie Christun as the voice of Venus De Milo.

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 by Power Rangers standards this episodes acting wasn't half bad but at the same time this is still Powers Rangers a show that really isn't all that well known for it's good acting and while that isn't something that shines through all that much in this episode it is noticeable when it comes to certain characters tho as the actors for Leo and Michelangelo for example just aren't that great with them sounding like there trying to an impressions of how they think that that turtle sounds with the actors for the rest of the turtles being passable at best with the best actor in this episode being Melody Perkins as Astronema as it comes across as her being the only one that knows that she's in a bad and goofy episode of the show and is therefor just having alot of fun just hamming it up and eating all of the scenery and while the actors playing the rangers are good that is something that's to be expected as four of the five of them have been playing their roles for at least a year now and it would therefor make sense for there acting to be as good as it is as they would have had the chance to really get to know there characters and know what kind of performance that there character would give in any given situation with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it doesn't give any of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

What alot of people might not know or even realise for that matter is the fact that this episode is technically the second episode of a two part episode. As the previous episode called "Save Our Ship" does end with Astronema forcing the turtles out of there sewer lair and that's really it there's really nothing plot wise that connects the two episodes which makes it odd that the makers of this show would have the turtles appear at the end of the previous episode as their scene in that episode basically amounts to a cameo appearance and nothing more then that with them of course taking on a much more bigger role in this episode which even then given the fact that this episodes plot is wafer thin at best it would have made more sense if this plot was the plot to a two part episode however instead of having the plot be contained to the one show why not take full advantage of the crossover aspect of it all and have it take place over both Power Rangers In Space and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation with part one happening on Power Rangers In Space and part two taking place on The Next Mutation this is something that would have made alot of sense to do as Power Rangers was the bigger show at the time and having this episode be the lead in episode to Next Mutation would then be a great way to boost the ratings of that show and plus it would mean that we would get to see the Rangers interact with someone like Splinter for example something that we don't get to see in this episode and while it is understandable why the makers of this show didn't take that approach as the two shows are filmed in different countries despite having the exact same producer.

To be fair to this episode the turtles in this episode are written pretty true to how they are in Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Which is also the problem as next to nobody likes how the turtles are written in that show as there written to all be the dumb one of the group which is how they are written here also we do get to splashes of Donny being the brains out of the group which was something that was nice to see as it's something that there own show very rarely did with all of the turtles basically being like Mikey in that they would tell bad jokes and make pizza references to the point where it comes across as the makers of that show had forgotten just what the personalities of the turtles are even meant to be in the first place where as here you can tell that there was some effort to write them how we the audience know them to be but because of the fact that there beholden to how they portrayed in there own show the makers of this episode can't fix any of the problems with the turtles as it would then cause a huge disconnect between both shows and while it is great seeing the turtles team up with the Power Rangers there should have been more of an effort on the part of the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation writers to at least get some of the way when it comes to writing the turtles as then that would mean that the makers of this episode won't have to do alot of the leg work which would all be for nothing as all of that would be forgotten about by the very next episode of the turtles own show as it makes the writing n The Next Mutation seem even more worse when you take into account just how well alot of the turtles are written in this episode and while alot of the turtles don't have that much to do as both Raphael and Venus don't really do all that much in the episode that's more due to the fact that crossover was just one singular episode and is not a knock n the writing of the turtles themselves.

This is also an issue with the Power Rangers side of things as well as the character of Carlos has next to nothing to do in the actual episode. Outside of taking part in a few action scenes and a scene at the start of the episode and that's really it which again makes you wonder why the makers of the episode didn't bother to make this an actual two part crossover even episode as then alot of the characters could have alot of things to say and do in the episode and not just basically be there as background characters with the only reason that Carlos as a character was included in this episode was more then likely just due to the fact that his Ranger was more then likely included in the Sentai footage from this episode and that's really it as you could have removed his character from the episode entirely and you'd miss nothing important to the episodes plot and while the episode could have cut his character out of the episode it does also speak a larger issue with the episode and that's the fact that two many characters that are important to both shows have nothing to do in the episode as while you can't really cut Raph out of the episode as she and along with Mikey , Leo and Donny do make the team that alot of people are familiar with you very easily could have cut out Venus as not only did alot of people hate her character back then and they still do to this very day but also alot of the shows kid audience wouldn't be all that familiar with her character due to the fact that she was only in this one Ninja Turtles show that alot of people just didn't bother to watch in the first place and so the episode could have done with cutting her out and keeping just the core four turtles and heck you could even have had a subplot with Raph and Carlos going on as that would at least then give both of those characters something to do in the actual episode itself.

Astronema in this episode really wasn't the best villain as she no clue with what to do with the turtles once there under her control. With the idea of them stealing the Megaship and having it brought to her being something that's discussed off screen which is something that does make it seem like the makers of this episode were struggling to find a justifiable reason to have the turtles and the rangers fighting each other as Astronema herself could have done itself by distracting the rangers with one of her monsters and it's not even said why the Megaship is this big victory prize for her as while yes it houses the Rangers Zords that's really it and even then the Rangers have allies on earth that they very easily could call upon and use there Zords if need be but for whatever reason the episode has the Megaship be the ultimate prize for her and while she does do the smart thing and have four of the five rangers that they capture be tied up so they can't fight back she still does next to nothing to make sure that Andros is captured altho given what we find out later about her character in this season that might be because of the fact that she's subconsciously knows that how she's acting right now isn't good and to her credit she does order Leonardo and the turtles to go and look for him which for some odd reason they don't do which makes the turtles look like really bad villains and again to her credit Astronema is more then willing to get her hands dirty as she does take part in the early part of the episodes final fight which does make her look a villain that really has taken a huge leap of the deep end and she does come across as being a villain that knows exactly what she wants and how to get as she did think ahead at the start of the episode by using mind controlling other good guys and then have them help the rangers out to gain there trust which was a really smart move on her behalf.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty seconds. Which to be fair to this episode is more in line with the running times for the rest of this show and in saying that this episode really does have the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho this episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as it's plot isn't that well developed with it being quite hard to tell just what it is that the main plot of the episode is even meant to be alot of the time as for a large portion of the episode it does seem like the characters are just doing these completely random things for no rhyme or reason which is something that does make it hard to buy into this episode with this being something that could hve been fixed if this was a two part episode as then the plot of the episode could become alot more stronger then what it already is as now the plot would have those extra twenty two minuets that it really does need to fully flesh out with the lack of development even effecting the episodes characters as while the series regular characters do come of fairly better in this regard that's more due to the fact that this show has had more time to develop them as characters and even the characters that get introduced in this season do come as being a little better as well rather it's the turtles themselves that don't get alot of development as they remain in the exact place as characters at the end of the episode then they do at the start of the episode when something as big as them going into outer space really should have given the characters some much needed character development that could then possibly be carried over into their own show as well but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now the 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 not that bad. With this episode having some really fun action scenes with the rangers both fighting against and then fighting with the turtles which does lead to some fun team ups with various rangers teaming up with various turtles which does lead to a pretty fun third act act with that third act fight scene being the best action scene in the whole episode as it will always be fun seeing all of the rangers teaming up with all five of the turtles with the fact that we get see some really fun team ups which is something that does make that action all the more fun then what it already is with it being clear as day the makers of this episode had alot of fun in coming up with the action in the third act as they weren't beholden to what was created in Japan due to the fact that they had four other hero characters to fit in and because of that we did get a really fun action scene out of it and while yes granted the editing to that action scene does let it down a bit as it does quite hard to tell which turtle is who and what is actually going on at the end of it it still does change the fact that it will always be fun seeing the turtle and the rangers teaming up with each other in one big action packed fight scene with even the unmorphed fight with the turtles taking on the rangers being just as good as the third act fight was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall while this season of Power Rangers might be considered one of the more better seasons of the show this episode is quite clearly one of the more average episodes of the show but to be fair that does make it one of the more better episodes of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation tho 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 his 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 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 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page , 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 the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page 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 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.

Power Rangers Time Force "Force From The Future" Review

There are alot of seasons of Power Rangers with some of them being better then others but there is one season that nearly all the people that love Power Rangers agree is a good season of the show. With it being the first two episodes of that season that i'm going to be taking a look at today just to see if it's as good as people say that it is and so then join me as I review the two part episode that has a really expensive looking first part and a really cheap looking second part with the episode in question being called simply just "Force From The Future" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Ransik an evil villain from one thousand years in the future escapes police custody and travels back to the year 2001 it's up to a bunch of police cadets to bring him back and stop and end to his evil schemes once and for all. 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 with this episodes plot being the kind of plot that would make for a really good Power Rangers movie plot with this episodes plot being movie quality good as that's just how good of a plot that this episodes plot really is and given that most plots for the first episode of Power Rangers are usually more in line with what to expect from the rest of the show at that point in time it's honestly refreshing to see a plot that actually takes chances and is actually alot more mature then what it really had any right to be as we straight up see the Red Ranger die in the first episode and how that impacts one of the other rangers as well which is something that Power Rangers didn't really do all that often and yet here not only do they do it but it's also forms apart of the Pink Rangers character arc as well with this episodes plot also being really rather entertaining and a well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Jason Faunt as Alex and Wesley "Wes" Collins and Michael Copon as Lucas Kendall. Also starring in this episode is Kevin Kleinberg as Trip , Deborah Estelle Phillips as Katie Walker , Erin Cahill as Jen Scotts , Brianne Siddall as The Voice Of Circuit , Edward Albert as Mr. Collins , Vernon Wells as Ransik , Kate Sheldon as Nadira , Neil Kaplan as The Voice Of Gluto , Eddie Frierson as The Voice Of Frax , Roy Werner as Captain Logan and Douglas Fisher as Philips.

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. Which is actually quite shocking for Power Rangers as this episodes acting is damn near close to being movie quality good as while yes there are few odd line deliveries here or there the acting from all of this episodes main actors is just so good that it makes you wonder why the makers of this show don't put more effort into finding actors who can actually act because when they do do that we get some really good performances out of the actors and that is something that is really true for this episode as it really is hard to say just who the best performer is in this episode as while it's clear as day that both Kate Sheldon and Vernon Wells are having the most fun being the evil villains of this season and really are just really hamming it up and that is something that really does shine through in both of there respective performances Erin Cahill for example is really treating seriously and we get a good performance because of it with the acting that in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all thus episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really 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 episode.

As was stated at the very start of this review this episode is not only a two part episode but the first episode actually looks to be really expensive. With it being clear as day that the makers of this show put alot of effort and thought into that first episode as not do we see some really expensive looking practical effects but we also see some unique looking vehicle designs as well and yet when we get to the shows second episode none of that is present with episode looking like every other episode of Power Rangers in that it was done on the cheap for as little money as it humanly possible and while this wouldn't be a bad thing if the first episode looked cheap as well but as the makers of the show went out of there to show us what they can do when there given a budget to work with it makes all the more obvious when in the very next episode they just go back to how they've been doing things for nine years at this point in time but credit where it's due tho that kind of method of doing things cheaply and quickly has worked out well enough for them but at the same time tho it does also create this sort of whiplash as everything in the first episode looks so good and so expensive to make barring some projection shots and yet in episode to it really does look like it was made on less of budget then what both The New Addams Family and Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation had combined as that's just how cheap looking that that second episode really does look when spending just as much money on that second episode would only make the episode look better then what it already does but it would also make it look like that it takes place in the exact same world as part one.

Whilst watching part one it was hard not to compare it to the first Mad Max movie as visually they do look the exact same. Which is by no means a knock on this episode rather it's meant as a compliment as it means that episode one looks like that it belongs in a feature length film where as episode two looks like that it belongs in the TV show spin off of episode one and it makes you wonder why the team behind Power Rangers didn't put as much effort into making the rest of the Power Ranger shows look like that they belong in a movie as they quite clearly have the talent needed to do so and while it might have been a budget thing as Haim Saban was notable for being tight with his money surely by spending more money on making the product look as good as it does then it would mean that you'd get more money back because not only would kids be watching the episodes more and more on a weekly basis but more importantly at least from a Power Rangers point of view they'd also be buying the toys as well which means that if the show not only had good stories and good characters much like in that first Mad Max film but also had some really great looking visuals then you' get more people watching the show and given the fact that this season has more of an adult edge to it it's also something that would have gone a long way into proving to people that Power Rangers can be more then just a show for little kids and that if it's done right and in the right way then adults can enjoy just as much if not more so then what the little kids can do as well.

This season of the show was rather notable for it being the first season of Power Rangers to feature a Pink Ranger that is actually the leader of the team. Which was not only a bold move back then but at the same time it's also one that really hasn't been done since then as while yes granted Wild Force had the pink ranger be the leader of the team but by the time episode one had finished that role had gone to Cole the red ranger and even tho Cosmic Fury did a have a female lead the team for real she was the red ranger and not the Pink Ranger with there also being dozens of more examples and yet it's in this season and this season only that we get the Pink Ranger leading the team and not only that Jen was actually a really well written character as well with her being the kind of character who is not only a stickler for the rules and being a by the book kind of cop but when things get to dangerous or if her ego is threatened she's the first one in there fighting the good fight with her even having a personal reason to wanting to seen Ransik put back in jail as he was the one that killed her fiancée Alex in the future which does create tension with her and Alex's descendant Wes as Wes just wants to do right by her but due to what she's gone through with Ransik in the future she's not willing to open herself up to the possibility of finding someone else and it's those things that she she not only has to deal with over the course of this season but also in these first two episodes as well with it also being something that does make her a really well written character and perhaps even one of the best written characters in all of Power Rangers history as well.

To be frank Ransik is pretty freaking scary and creepy looking villain for that matter with him having one side of his face covered in metal which hides a hideous looking scar. On top of that actor Vernon Wells also gives him a pretty knarly sounding voice as well as even tho he does seem to SHOUT alot of his words of dialog which granted could be seen as betting annoying really fast it is something that alot adds to the overall creepiness of the character as here is a character that demands your attention not only from how he looks but he acts as well as even tho he has a deep love for his daughter Nadira he also holds a deep and passionate hatred not only for Time Force as a whole but for human kind as well and while his hatred of human kind isn't reveled in these first two episodes it is something that does get reveled later on in the show with this character being the kind of character that is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done and is willing to go to any lengths to make sure that the job gets done not only right but quickly and efficiently as well with him also willing to get his hands dirty as it's him that causes the death of Alex the original Time Force Red Ranger in the distant future something that no other main villain from any other Power Rangers season has done either before or after this season with them all mostly relying on that particualr seasons foot soldiers to do alot of the heavy lifting where as in these first two episodes it's Ransik himself that's doing alot of the heavy lifting which is something that really does make him stand apart from all of the main Power Ranger villains out there as it shows us that he really is dangerous and deadly character.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty six seconds and whilst episode two has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and twenty six seconds as well. It's episode one that uses it's running time a bit more wisely as even tho both episodes really do have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time it's the fact that episode one takes a bit more time in setting up alot of the characters that are from the future and in showing us just how exactly the Power Rangers version of the future both looks and works that make it stand out as episode to doesn't really spend alot of time in setting up Wes as a character as we only get three scenes with him throughout the whole episode and yet we are somehow meant to feel something when he agrees to help the other Rangers morph for the first time and while it is perfectly understandable that this episode doesn't fully explore Wes's character just yet as there are thirty plus episodes for them to do exactly that you still need to give us something to go off of and when you compare this to what we get in episode one where all of the other main characters are set up in a way that it is believable that they would go into time just chase down this one bad guy it is something that makes Wes's lack of a character in episode to really stand out all the more because of it 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 gave 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 tought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. As while alot of this episodes action is rather rightfully saved for episode tow of this two parter episode the action that we got in part one whilst it was good in it's own storyline way it just wasn't as exciting as the action that got in episode two as in episode one we just got one Ranger fighting Ransik which was still cool to see but at the same time tho it didn't really look like that that episode used any fight footage from the shows Sentai counterpart Mirai Sentai Timeranger as Ransik is an original villain to Power Rangers where as with episode two because of the fact that they did get to use some of the Sentai footage we got to see all f the Rangers fighting as a team and while yes again granted the second episodes action also has it's problem like sloppy editing and pointless slow motion shots we did also get to see some really cool moves as well like Jen running on a wall just to take over several of Ransik's soldiers all by herself or with the team doing a poor impression of the bullet dodge scene from The Matrix which yes did look bad but it was still a cool move to see in this episode and while this episode did have some action in episode one it just couldn't compare to just how good the action in this shows second ever episode was as the action in this shows second ever episode is just that good in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it's not hard to see why people love this season of the show as from both a visual point of view and a storytelling point of view it's alot more mature and grown up then what had come before it and what would come after it as well with it being something that does prove that Power Rangers is not just for little kids as it can also be for adults 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 episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that episode one of this show really does earn itself a score grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from and episode two of this show really does itself a grand old score combined score of a exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me and this very episode really does earn itself a total combined score of exactly a 7.5 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 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 the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page 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 really alot of them being really better quality then what you'd really think of and 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.

My First Impressions Of No.1 Sentai Gozyuger

While there might not be any Power Rangers for the time that doesn't mean that it's source material is gone as well. As Super Sentai the show where Power Rangers gets alot of it's fight footage from is not still celebrating it's big fiftieth year but is also still going  really strong and have just debuted the first episode of it's newest series and since it's been a good while since I last took a look at an episode from Super Sentai I thought that I'd take a look at this first episode to see if it's any good or not and so then join me as I give you my belated first impressions of the show that would make for a really awsome episode of Power Rangers with the show in question being called simply just "No.1 Sentai Gozyuger" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is sometime after all of the previous Sentai teams gave up there lives in battle with something called The Calamity a new threat threatens earth and it's up to a new team of Sentai to raise to the occasion. 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 as while the above synopsis might be more accurate to the plot of the show rather then the episode it's also something that is kind of true for this episode as well with this episodes being something that really wouldn't be found in an episode of Power Rangers as it does go to some dark places pretty early on which is something that was shocking to see as usually when you think of either Power Rangers or Super Sentai the plots for the first episode is usually alot more lighter in tone as it's usually there just to get you used to the tone of the new season with it some times getting darker as the show progresses and yet here they just straight up start of dark which is something that does work for the plot of this episode as it lets us the audience know that this episodes plot isn't going to be as happy go lucky as we're more then likely to get nine times out of ten 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 Mio Fuyuno as Hoeru Tono , Hideharu Suzuki as Rikuo Byakuya and Masakazu Kanada as Ryugi Bakugami. Also starring in this episode is Maya Imamori as Sumino Ichikawa , Yuki Kaji as The Voice Of Tega Sword , Noriko Nakagoshi as Saori Iijima , Daisuke Sanbongi as Fire Candle , Marupi as Bouquet ,  Karuma as Kuon and Haruhi Isuchi as Natsume Tsutsumi.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about 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 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 while Power Rangers isn't exactly known for having great acting in it it's hard to say if the same thing is true for Super Sentai or not and as such while it is hard to compare this episodes acting to the acting in previous seasons just in this episode alone this episodes actors do indeed do a passable job at portraying there respective characters and while some of them are given more screen time then others that is something that is par the course for the show and as such it isn't really something that's new and nor is it something that really effects this episodes quality of acting with this episodes true stand out performer being Daisuke Sanbongi as Fire Candle just because of the fact he is the only actor who looks like that there really having a blast in this episode as while all of the other actors that are in this episode do indeed turn in a good performance in there own he's the only one that knows what kind of a show that he's in and so is just hamming it up the whole time and that does make his performance a really fun one to watch with this episodes acting really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out pf them naturally which is something that really doe help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this vert episode.

Starting this show of the way that it does does indeed set the tone of the rest of the show as there are no other Sentai teams now and so if these Rangers don't succeed in beating this enemy then that's it earth is done for. Which really is something that Power Rangers despite that show having some pretty dark moments in it's long and storied history never did and yet still managed to have some pretty dark episodes yet because of it but what let's this episode down quite a bit is the fact that they don't dwell on the fact that earth is now pretty much defenseless which is something that they really could have done and it is something that really would have made the episodes action scenes all the more impactful and meaningful even this early on in the game as it would mean that this new team would have to win just so that the earth would still be a round ad yet because of the fact that they don't bring it up at all it makes it feel like that it's an after thought and something that was only thrown in there to explain why there are no other Sentai teams this time around something which past seasons had no trouble with explaining and while the idea of all of the Rangers and there Zords gave up there lives just defeat this one seemingly impossible to defeat foe is such a cool idea it's also one that would have worked much better in a movie instead of the first episode of a TV show as at least in the movie you could develop that idea alot more further then what they do in this episode.

This episode has a cameo that not alot of people saw coming and that's the fact that not only is one of the leading actors of Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger in this show as a different character but that character also morphs into the Red King-Ohger. This was something that before the premiere of this episode you really wouldn't have seen coming as while it's not unusual for past actors to come back and play different characters it is something special when they then morph into a past ranger form something which the episode really doesn't explain away either and has led to theories that past actors are coming back to play newer characters which would be a fun thing to see and given that this is Super Sentai's fiftieth year is something that would also make alot of sense as it would be a great way to celebrate that milestone but at the same time tho it was a bit distracting and if you haven't seen Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger then it would feel alot more like homework rather then the fun scene that it was so clearly meant to be as that show had literally only just finished airing about a week or two before this show started airing which is something that does make it surprising that they would do something like that so quickly after the previous season had just finished airing but at the same time picking a more popular version of Super Sentai or at least one that was turned into a popular Power Rangers season might make alot more sense from a main stream audience point of view as then you could still celebrate your franchise and the people that perhaps don't watch this show all that often can see a suit from a show that they recognize and love as well.

To put in bluntly there are times in this episode where it looks like a feature film as everything about the episode just looks that good. Yet there are times where the episode also goes into looking like a Japanese fighting game which doesn't really work all that well as it makes the episode look more like and episode for a TV show when just moments before it we had this really great lighting and locations that make it appear as if this is a feature film and while yes films can also look like video games just look at Scott Pilgrim, Vs The World as key evidence of that but that was done as a stylistic choice on the part of the films director Edgar Wright where as here it felt more like that the two styles where fighting against each other when they should have been working with each other like if the episode wanted to look like a video game then why not go all in and have things like a health bar or when Hoeru morphs for the first time we see his health bar get increased just having the visual look of a video game but not doing anything with it only makes it feel like that it was something that was thought of at the last minuet and it's the same thing if the episode wanted to look like a feature film go all in and have some fun with it and spend the extra money needed to actually make it look like a feature film as only going half way only make it look like that you have no idea of what style the makers of this show wanted it to have in the first place.

This episodes villain Fire Candle does seem like a really fun villain as he's just somebody who has a huge ego and that's really it. Yet it's due to that simplicity of his character that does make him out to be a really fun filled character as not all villains need to be dark and disturbing characters as sometimes just having a huge unchecked ego is really all you need but at the same time tho given how the rest of this episode plays out it is hard to tell if he's meant to be one of the villains or not as while Super Sentai is known for having human characters as the main villains of the show here as they also introduce Bouquet and both of whom admit to only checking on the planet to see how it's going before Fire Candle's ego comes into effect when he's challenged as the worlds number 1 savior whilst Bouquet doesn't really do anything that makes her seem like she's an evil villain with her only having two scenes in this episode with the one just being her wishing Fire Candle luck and telling him not to be violent when he gets to this episodes version of earth and the second of which was her warning Hoeru not to grab the ring that gives him his powers as it could kill him both of which are things that an evil person really wouldn't do with Fire Candle really being the closest thing to a villain that this episode has just due to his massive ego which does make it easy to route against him and find him unlikable but at the same time tho there really should have been more scenes with him prior to him attacking earth as that would have helped to get across alot more of his personality.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets a thirty seconds. Which is a pretty solid running time for this episode but at the same time tho as this episode really did have so much plot that it needed to over this is an episode that really could have dine with being alot longer as this episode has enough plot there to really cover at the very least forty to forty minuets as just from the set up alone there's alot of plot that really does need to covered even if you take into account the fact that they made the an episode 0 just for this one episode that is something that really does tell you that the makers of this show knew full well that they had alot more plot that needed to be told as they still need to set up who the main bad guys for this show could possibly be as well and that is somethin that this episode just can't do with it's current running time and this is something that past season really didn't have a issue with doing as they had just the must basic of set ups and so they didn't have alot of plot that needed covering in there premiering episode and yet because of the fact that this show set up and premise is radically different from what came before it it really does need to have had a longer running time as while the episode does use it's running time wisely as it sets u the Red Ranger in a way that feels believable and organic we the audience aren't really given a reason as to why he keeps of getting fired as the only thing that we see him is save his current boss and that's really it and that's something that could have been explored if this episode did have a longer running time 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 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. As we do get one technically four action scenes in this episode alot of which do take place near the end of episode with the first one being where Hoeru takes down a thief that's trying to rob the store that he worked at which even then is played more for laughs and is a decent enough comedic action scenes with the best scene in this whole entire episode being the one where the Tega Sword and Hoeru team up to take on Fire Candle which is where you get to see this episode become more like a video game which whilst it does clash with the episode trying to look more like a film it does make this episodes action all the more fun to watch as you see just how crazy and over the top that they get with there action scene as they go from fighting in the city to Hoeru and Fire Candle preparing to fight each other in a boxing Ring and we just get to see how the moves that they do to each other in the boxing ring effect what happens to them in the actual fight which was such a cool and fun idea and even Hoeru's first morphed fight against this seasons henchmen was a pretty cool fight in it's own right but it's one that oddly feels tacked on when it would have been better served as being the main one of the main fights in the next episode despite it being really well done fight in it's own right as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst Power Rangers might be taking a small hiatus right now there is still plenty of morphing fun to be had with Super Sentai and if this episode is anything to go by then we are in for one heck of a ride as this episode is not only that good it's also that crazy as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked all of the good and a swell as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post 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 post 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 post being the really great the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page 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'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki age are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Power Rangers Dino Super Charge "When Evil Stirs" Review

Back in the mid to late 2010's Power Rangers had this strange habit of making the second season of any of there shows have the word Super in the title regardless of if it made sense or not. While that trend did sadly continue with the season upon which the episode that i'm going to be reviewing today comes from it is also one of the only times where adding the word Super to the title actually made sense and so then join me as I review the episode that gives us more backstory for Koda with the episode in question being called simply just "When Evil Stirs" enjoy.

The plot of this episode whilst there enjoying there time away from each other all of the rangers are suddenly attacked and frozen in blocks of ice and so it's up Tyler and Koda to get all of there friends back and stop this returning ice cold menace once and for all. 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 as it was the kind of plot that you'd expect the debut episode of a second season of a kids show to have in that it serves it's purpose of not only setting up the main bad guy for this new season butt also in reintroducing all of the hero characters in a way that makes sense as well but at the same time tho given that the plot of Dino Charge were all mostly really good with there being very few misses it's very easy to notice the sharp decline in quality in this episodes plot as it's clear as day that the writers for this episode just didn't have any ideas on what to do for a plot and so they just went with the most basic and formulaic plot that they could come up with only without adding any all that new to 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.

Starring in this episode is Brennan Mejia as Tyler Navarro , James Davies as Chase Randall and Yoshi Sudarso as Koda. Also starring in this episode is Michael Taber as Riley Griffin , Camille Hyde as Shelby Watkins , Davi Santos as Sir Ivan of Zandar , Jarred Blakiston as Prince Phillip III , Claire Blackwelder as Kendall Morgan , Ryan Carter as Heckyl , Richard Simpson as The Voice Of Keeper , Paul Harrop as The Voice Of Fury , Estevez Gillespie as The Voice Of Wrench and The Voice Of Curio , Jackie Clarke as The Voice Of Poisandra , Campbell Cooley as The Voice Of Mecha Voice and The Voice Of Snide , Gerald Urquhart as The Voice Of Iceage , Emmett Skilton as The Voice Of Professor Strickler , Ross Girven as The Voice Of Badussa , Charlie McDermott as The Voice Of Cloaked Alien , Geoff Snell as The Postman and James Gaylyn as Mr. Watkins.

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 even tho Power Rangers really isn't known for having that great acting in it when the actors in any episode of any season really get it right then they really do get it right as is the case with this episode as all of this episodes actors have had the entire previous season to really work out how best to perform there respective characters and that is something that is applied not only to this episode but to the rest of this season as well and while yes there is still some very dodgy performances in not only this season but also this episode the overall quality of the acting in this episode was really high as you can quite clearly tell then all of this episodes actors are a bunch of talented actors in their own right and that really is something that really did shine through in not only this episode but in both Dino Charge and in Dino Super Charge as a whole as well with the acting that's in this episode not really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so bad as it really doesn't give any of this episodes anything to work interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant o be in the first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at PRPVFX Limited. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I inn all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad for the most part as even tho this show is made really cheaply you can still tell what was done in a computer and what was done for real with alot of the effects in this episode just looking very cheaply done with the above picture being a good example of that as it's clear as day that the effects just told the makers of this episode that they'll fix it in post and heck there's no shadow even being cast from the box either and while alot of the CGI in Power Rangers has always looked cheap and bad here it is something that did stand out a mile as it does take you out of the episode with it's CGI not even being laughably bad and yet while this episode does indeed have some really good CGI in it those most likely came from the shows source material Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and were most likely not created for this show with the effects that were created for this show looking just OK at best and being down right bad at it's worst and while it is expected that Power Rangers has bad effects given the fact that's a very cheap to make show that doesn't mean that the show has to have bad effects as all you'd need is talented VFX artists and a half decent effects budget to make the effects in this episode be alot better then what they actually are.

One of the things that this episode actually gets right is the fact that it gives more backstory for Koda as we got very little of his backstory in Power Rangers Dino Charge. As here it's revealed that not only does he have a deep fear of ice but the fact it was Kendall and Chase that rescued him from the ice that he was froze in thousands of years ago and that his fear of ice comes from the fear of being trapped again this was a really good as it not only gives Koda who it could be argued was the least developed of the characters in the first season some much needed character development but it also gives him a fear that plays into the plot of this episode in a natural and organic way instead of being something that comes out of nowhere as it would understand for someone to have a fear of something that they've been trapped in for a long period of time and while the episode really does nothing with this information and nothing new is revealed about who Koda is as a person the fact that he was given this backstory does show that the creators of this show and the writers of this episode really did understand that in order to make a good show you need to have characters that you actually care about and they chose not to dumb down the show for there kid audience something that they very easily could have done and yet it still would have been nice if earlier on in the episode we got to see Koda acted scared when Iceage was first attacking him instead of having him act like his normal self as that only means that his fear of ice was only added to the plot just for the sake of having another ranger there to tell Tyler what's happend to the rest of the team and that's really it.

Something that really doesn't make sense not only in this episode but in the rest of this season is the location of the Magna Beam. As during the first it was very firmly located underneath the ship we know thins because of the fact that we saw it in most episodes and yet here for no reason whatsoever it's now located at the top of the ship this normally wouldn't be a huge issue as you could write it off as it being apart of the pretty bad writing that Power Rangers is none for but at the same time tho these two seasons of the show went to great lengths to actually explain alot of things away in a way that made sense and so it's odd to seem them suddenly go back to that old Power Rangers style of writing and not really explain something that we're going to be seeing in every episode and what's worse is that they literally could have one of the monsters explain it away with a throwaway line by saying just by saying that they've done some work to the ship and as such the Magna Beam is now located at the top of the ship and that's it and best part is it wouldn't take that long to record or film as both could have been done in less then a day but as the makers of this show chose not go that rout we are now stuck with something that whilst it does indeed include a pretty cool visual when the monsters do grown to giant size it is also something that can be kind of seen as being a continuity issue as that's not where it was located in the previous season of this show.

This episode does also see the fan favorite villain Heckyl take center stage as the main villain for this season. While the villain was introduced in the second to last episode of Dino Charge it's this episode that sees him become the main villain and that right there is some very good storytelling as they've already established that he exists as a character in this world by having him already fail to defeat the Rangers and yet they still make him look like one of the strongest and certainly one of the more smartest villains that Power Rangers has ever produced as Heckyl's best gift isn't his muscles it's his brain something that we see in not only this episode but also in future episodes as well as he actually outsmarts the Rangers in there civilian forms on several occasions even getting to see the inside of there base with this character coming across as a villain that is always thinking two or perhaps even three steps ahead of everyone else and while the show does slightly slip up on this character in some episodes there's no denying the fact that his debut/return in this episode is not only really awsome and cool to watch but it's also one that sets him as a character that knows what he wants and will do anything to get it and that is something that this show has needed for a long time and because of that it's not that hard to see why the fans of this show liked this character as he was just such a cool and charismatic villain who you were actually glad to see pop up on screen.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and thirty four seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have with the episode really having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time but at the same time tho some of this episode did feel like filler like the scene with Tyler at the beginning just going over the key events of Dino Charge really wasn't needed it's understandable why they did put it there because it was to catch us the audience on the plot so far but at the same time tho every single episode after this one has a shorter version of it and so there really was no need to have a recap in this episode as all it does is take valuable screen time away from developing the episodes plot and in catching us up on what the rest of the Rangers have been up to as everyone apart from Tyler Shelby don't get alot of screen time to show us what they've been up to since the events of Din Charge and whilst that might not be necessary in the grand scheme of things it does also serve as a way to reintroduce all of the key characters in ways that feel natural and organic as well with the only part of the Tyler scene that should be kept is the part where he mentions that he's still looking for his dad not because of the fact that add's anything to the plot of this episode because it does't but because it adds to the plot of an episode that aired not that long after this one did 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 to us n 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. As the episode does gave some really cool looking fight scenes in it both from the American side of things and the Japanese side of things as well but at the same time tho none of the other Rangers get a chance to show of what they can do in a fight in this episode heck some of them barely get a line of dialog in this episode which does make there inclusion feel like that they had to do it because of the Sentai footage and not because of the plot but with that being said it is still really cool seeing seven of the ten Dino Charge Rangers not only fighting together but also morphing together for pretty much the first time and while Kendall doesn't have that good fighting skills she still does more then hold her own when she's morphed with there also being alot of really cool moments during this episodes action with it really being helped by the fact that this is the start of a new season and so of course the action in this episode isn't going to be as good as this episodes action really was just used as a way to reintroduce us the audience to the Rangers and that's really it and in that respect it did it's job really well but it's also something that really could have been done alot more better then what it actually was done in this episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was a decent start but at the same time given just awsome Dino Charge really was then that means that this episode was always going to fail as the previous season was just that good both fro an action standpoint and a character standpoint but at the same time tho this episode really did do it's job of reintroducing us the audience to it's a characters in a fun and quite frankly entertaining episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as being 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 5.5 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 the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen 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 the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page 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 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.
