The Episode

So, the episode begins with the Rangers at school (they actually go somewhere that isn't the FREAKIN' JUICE BAR? ), where Kimberly and Trini are trying to promote the importance of recycling. Their principal, Mr. Caplan, congratulates the two on promoting a good cause. And then our favorite Neanderthals, Bulk and Skull show up. They cause trouble, and needless to say, they get what's coming to 'em. Meanwhile the guys are a bit caught up at the moment with their own agendas. For example, Zack is trying to teach Alpha how to dance, which doesn't seem to be going well.

The Repulsa Gang decide that their plan for this week is to pollute the planet, making it uninhabitable. Finster creates a new monster, THE MIGHTY MINOTAUUUR, to accomplish this. Rita sends down some Putties to intercept Kim and Trini. Zordon tells the other Rangers that their teammates are in trouble, and they go to help. And then THE MIGHTY MINOTAUUUR attacks, and unfortunately for the Rangers, he beats the ever-loving tar out of them. To make matters worse, Goldar shows up to aid the Minotaur in the buttkicking. And soon, as always, Rita makes the Minotaur grow...which of course, requires the Megazord...

...or not, since even in the Megazord, the Rangers still get the crap beaten out of. Zordon summons them back to the Command Center, where he has created new Power Weapons. With these, the Rangers defeat THE MIGHTY MINOTAUUR, having learned the importance of teamwork. The episode ends with the team cleaning up the city and recycling.

My Opinion

While I'm not a fan of enviromentally-themed episodes of TV shows, this episode actually seems to downplay the "keep America clean" aspects in favor of showing the importance of teamwork, which is why I enjoyed it so much.

Final Score

6/10
