Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 4: The Wanna-Be Ranger

Image
When we last left Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Lord Zedd was suffering from his first defeat.   The Power Rangers obtained their ThunderZords and used them to finish off the piranha monster.   Lord Zedd blamed the rest of the moon base inhabitants for his loss.   Except for Rita Repulsa.   She was floating around space in her dumpster singing drinking songs.   Bulk and Skull, on the other hand, are still going to be a menace to the Power Rangers.   They decided that they will unmask the Power Rangers and let the whole world know who they are.   That’s where we’re at. Now we are into the main stretch of season 2.   The opening three episode arc has concluded, and the next episode is likely to be a standalone story.   I’m okay with that.   After the introduction of so many new elements to the series (ThunderZords, Lord Zedd, new putties), it’ll be a nice chaser.   This episode’s title makes me think that there will be an imposter on the loose in Angel Grove.   I could be way

This is the next episode.   It will conclude The Mutiny .   This is the episode that will wrap up the opening story arc of season two.   Lord Zedd will be defeated for the first time.   The Power Rangers might actually use their ThunderZords.   All this and more is bound to happen.   I’m excited to get to it, so let’s go. Season 2, Episode 3: The Mutiny, Part III The most important storyline was the Power Ranger storyline.   Their entire story was setting them up to have the ThunderZords.   After the attack of the last episo

First Time Watches - March 2016

Here I am, sitting at my computer two nights before the end of the month.   It’s just after midnight.   I’ve been updating my Letterboxd diary and thinking about what movies might make my top 5 first time watches for the month.   I saw a wide variety of movies and felt the need to discuss each one in some way.   It’s tough to do that with a simple ranking.   My mind immediately jumped to a blog post.   That’s what this is. This is the first time I’ve gone this far with first time watches.   Usually I just Tweet what my top five of the month were, mention the worst first time watch, and move on with my life.   But the movies deserve more attention.   The movies deserve elaboration.   They should get something that might direct people to them.   Or in the case of the bad ones, keep people away. These are all my personal opinions.   Not everybody will agree with me.   Knowing my taste , most people will disagree with me.   That’s how things go.   I wanted to do these movies j
