Mighty Morphin #1.55 – Second Chance

It seems Netflix has finally stopped auto-skipping the theme song. Blessed be.

Ernie is posting the results of the recent Angel Grove Junior Soccer Team tryouts. Because naturally such a task would fall to the patron of a local business, rather than the person running the team.

Mighty Morphin #1.54 – Trick or Treat

We open with Kimberly running through her beam routine, which evidently consists of a single back-handspring and a full turn. Why does she never have spotters? Or a coach? Or any other apparatus?

The lesson seems to consist mostly of reminding the women to scream as loud as possible to attract attention, which is fair, but “go for the balls” is an age-old classic that’s really being underutilized here.

Mighty Morphin #1.50 – Return of an Old Friend: Part 2

In case I haven’t made it clear yet: I am loving this two-parter so far.

In addition to my obvious excitement about Tommy coming back, I have to credit the writers with just how they did it — holding off his reveal until the end of the episode, and taking the time to actually set up the dire situation first. Plus, while the storyline with Kimberly’s parents was unexpected, it certainly heightens the drama of the situation.
