My favorite is when the show accidentally riffs on Tommy. Zordon tells the the Rangers to look at the monster featured on the viewing globe. Cut to the viewing globe featuring Tommy shoveling garbage in his mouth. Billy is confused and says "I don't see a monster". No Billy, Tommy IS the monster!Makeshift Pythonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597447875631146517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-45053039347342192302019-07-11T23:14:28.106-05:002019-07-11T23:14:28.106-05:00All I know about Jojo is "Robert E.

But this one...I peeked. Because I really remember hating this episode the first time. And I decided to go ahead, if only because I promised myself I'd skip no episodes, no matter how bad. I was...pleasantly surprised. Was it great? No. Was it better than Rocky Just Wants to Have Fun? Yes. (That's it; that's the benchmark.) I think my initial distaste for it comes from the preachiness and the fact that my low threshhold for secondhand embarrassment was even lower then. But, wow, what a debut for Kat's first full ep as a Ranger!

Two, the likely had some kind of skin that imitated that of the pita so when it came into contact with the teeth it would bend but not break while making his tongue not detect something foreign (like it would with rubber or metal). This skin would give off secretions to imitate the pita's flavor to further deceive Tommy's mouth into letting his brain know that he had a morsel being chewed up; much like how flavored gum produces flavor to give one sensation of chewing on a fruit while becoming thick enough to discourage swallowing. The rest of the set up requires the artistic license in form of disregarding the square cube law (which has been happening the whole time in both Power Rangers and Sentai). Now, that's just my hypothesis on the creature.

And Ernie is standing RIGHT. THERE. And it is even worse (or maybe slightly justified to a certain mind, I guess) when you consider how Rich Genelle died.<br /><br />On the other hand, all that cringing pays off when Tommy starts ordering all the food in the place and you can basically see Ernie's eyes roll out of the building. He can only just assume that Tommy chose to up his usual super-dickery to new levels with this one. It's not like he would know that these kids are regularly being preyed upon by a family of Moon Sorcerers. <br /><br />(Or does he? One of the plans when they laid foundation for and then decided to discard was for Ernie to be the one guy in Angel Grove who figured out the team's identities. It's supposedly why he keeps giving them run of the youth center for no charge.)Pumpkin Rap Godnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-15625393503572252502017-08-03T10:22:27.048-05:002017-08-03T10:22:27.048-05:00"People just develop new flaws spontaneously ..."People just develop new flaws spontaneously in an instant, right?"Ryan Ferneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955330155998980272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-55125419276943363582017-08-03T06:49:38.301-05:002017-08-03T06:49:38.301-05:00You could always tell him that the Rangers tended ...You could always tell him that the Rangers tended to be slow on the uptake when one of their own was under a spell even though all members from Jason to Tanya were basically flawless.Antiyonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628394725948164401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-82419174776186131782017-08-02T19:20:20.778-05:002017-08-02T19:20:20.778-05:00Two men who look like they were designed by Lloyd ...<em>Two men who look like they were designed by Lloyd Kaufman.</em><br /><br />Thank you.

It really helps set the tone of that series, that the Rangers are trying to end things ASAP, and you get minimal sequences of men in eighty pounds of rubber and cardboard lumbering around at one another.<br /><br />These early seasons, IMO, had the some of the best Zord fights going for them, when they bothered to have fights and didn't splice footage. Largely because they weren't in the habit of 12+ Zords combining into a single mech so that you had some poor stunt actor wearing every one of them and still trying to seem like they can do more than stand up and wave their arms around yet. Lighter costumes, more sense of speed and action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-46745225531736549572017-08-02T00:05:15.743-05:002017-08-02T00:05:15.743-05:00Now that you mention it, maybe they should have ta...Now that you mention it, maybe they should have taken the time they spent recreating the stomach scenes to instead add some individual Shogunzord fighting, since by this point they had the costumes and miniature sets and all.Ryan Ferneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955330155998980272noreply@blogger.com
