Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 34: Where There's Smoke, There's Fire

Previously, on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , the Power Rangers were on television to tell the world how important education was.   Their appearance on the Harvey Garvey talk show was cut short as Lord Zedd turned one of the cameras into a monster.   They quickly subdued the monster and kept Angel Grove safe.   Bulk and Skull missed their chance to unmask the Power Rangers because of the fight. The next episode seems like it will be, as the kids say, lit.   That’s because it has something to do with fire.   Get it?   Lit?   Fire?   Anyway, hopefully it will alleviate some of the burning curiosity I have about the characters’ backgrounds.   We’re far enough into the series that they should be able to flesh out the characters and make the audience care about them.   Let’s get into the episode. Season 2, Episode 34: Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire Angel Grove High School chose Aisha as the new school fire chief.   She took the job too seriously, becoming bossy and obses

In the previous episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Rocky just wanted to have fun.   He forgot about his duties as a Power Ranger.   He danced around the battlefield, putting everyone’s lives in danger.   He was under a spell from Lord Zedd.   It eventually got broken and the Power Rangers defeated a monster based on a pachinko machine.   It was an episode that wore its Japanese influences like a badge of honor and it was better for it.

Season 2, Episode 33: Lights, Camera, Action Aisha gave a presentation in Mrs. Appleby’s class about the power of televisio

Last time we left the Power Rangers, Bulk and Skull had figured out who they were!   But they forgot quickly after, because of an accident that happened when they saved the Power Rangers from a monster.   Why did Bulk and Skull save the Power Rangers?   Well, the monster erased the Power Rangers’ memories, and Bulk and Skull were the only people left to execute the Power Rangers’ plans.   It was a big episode for Bulk and Skull.   It helped put them in a better light for the second time in the past handful of episodes. Now we’re onto an episode about Rocky.   He’s the least fleshed out of the new characters and it’ll be nice to get a little bit of insight into what makes him Rocky.   We know that Adam has some confidence issues, and we know Aisha’s personality.   Rocky is sort of a blank slate.   This episode should change that and give him something that the audience can latch onto.   We’ll get that and more in… Season 2, Episode 32: Rocky Just Wants to Have Fun Rocky
