Introduction

Thank you, Nuke, for being my number one (and so far, only) fan. AND BY GOLLY, I WILL GET MORE VIEWS!

The Episode

So, the episode begins where else but the Juice Bar, where Jason is attempting to beat a benchpressing record. Unfortunately, his friends keep distracting him and he fails at another attempt. Well, it turns out that Bulk's record is the one he's trying to beat. When Jason finds out about this, he considers giving up after Bulk mocks him.

Meanwhile, Rita sees how determined Jason is, and decides to use that flaw to her advantage in the latest plan: get rid of him so that the Rangers can be defeated. She creates a new monster named King Sphinx, and sends him down. Jason, Zack, and Kimberly attempt to face them, but the latter two get blown away (quite literally) and Goldar captures Jason, taking him to a desert that the others can't get to.

Back at the Command Center, Zordon tells the other Rangers about the Power Crystals, created from the essence of their Power Coins and able to transport them to Jason. Meanwhile, Rita makes Sphinx and Goldar grow. (GO, GO, GOLDARZILLA! YEEEEAHHH...) Zordon gives Jason the Power Crystals, and he summons the other Rangers. And after the usual Megazord battle, they go back to the Juice Bar (DID THEY ATTEND SCHOOL FOR ONE DAY OR SOMETHING?) and Jason beats the record. Ernie decides to celebrate by giving the team a cake...which Bulk falls onto.

My Opinion

While I am getting tired of the whole Juice Bar setting, this episode doesn't have that many flaws. I enjoyed the moral of "never give up" and the return of GOLDARZILLA! King Sphinx was pretty good as well, and seeing Bulk get what he deserves at the end was gold.

Final Score:

9/10
