Power Rangers In Order

I’m upset.

If you don’t know why I’m upset, look at that title.

We are officially two-thirds of the way through the first season of Power Rangers, ladies and gentlemen!

We begin with the teens working on a science project that for some reason Principal Caplan is overseeing. He declares that the saplings they’ve grown are in magnificent shape, and it’s time to start planting them in the park.

I gave this multi-parter a lot of grief last episode, but let’s focus on the positives: It’s already infinitely better than “Island of Illusion.”

In all seriousness, despite continuity and pacing issues (and being, you know…Power Rangers), the writers have done a good job so far of building tension and establishing a story that shakes up the show’s normal status quo. Let’s see how they handle that in its conclusion.

A not-Tommy-related multi-parter? I have absolutely no hopes whatsoever.

We open with Kimberly, Trini, Jason, and Billy walking through the school hallway reading aloud from a newspaper.

This episode begins on Rita’s base, for a change. We blaze through her plan at rapid speed — her Twin Man monster will transform five Putties into duplicates of the Rangers, who will then infiltrate their lives and ruin their reputations. Because their personal reputations are paramount to Rita’s ability to take over the world.

Buckle in, kids, because we’ve got ourselves a Trini-centric episode today! I’m pretty sure this is the first one since the Mr. Ticklesneezer incident (as the one with her uncle was really more of a Billy episode), so it’s clearly long overdue.

Welcome to our new, post-Tommy world. I’m heartbroken. You’re heartbroken. Your great-aunt Susan is heartbroken.

But we must soldier on. Plus, the sooner we clear this Tommy-less void, the sooner we get him back.

The episode begins with Tommy and Zordon helpfully recapping the plot thus far for the audience. Kimberly cuts in to ask if there’s anything they can do, and Zordon says that one of them needs to travel into the alternate dimension to get the candle before it burns out.

Are you guys ready for some plot? I know I am!

Our first multi-parter since the terrible one we don’t speak of begins with Tommy and Zack training at the Juice Bar, which is a slight change from the usual formula of Tommy and Jason training at the Juice Bar.

We open with that same exact shot of Angel Grove High, in which that extra is flirting it up on the grounds.
