Introduction By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes... The Episode Our episode begins with the Rangers enjoying a town carnival. Trini is babysitting her cousin Sylvia, who is fascinated by one of the clowns, Pineapple. She asks Trini if she can stay behind to play with him, but Trini reminds her they're supposed to stick together. She promises that when they finish watching a gymnastics demonstration, they can return to Pineapple. However, all is not that it seems... It's then revealed that Rita has taken a page from the works of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, and has set up the carnival as a trap. Pineapple is actually her newest monster, the Pineoctopus, in a human form. Back at the carnival, Sylvia is watching the gymnastics demonstration when Pineapple lures her to him. She sneaks away without her cousin noticing. Sylvia is turned into a cardboard cutout, which Trini witnesses. She informs the other Rangers, who evacuate the other carnivalgoers. Pineapple transforms into Pineoctopus, and is soon joined by Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, and a group of Putties. Meanwhile, Trini takes Sylvia to the Command Center, where Alpha finds a cure to Pineapple's dust: water. Sylvia is turned back to normal, and Trini soon joins the other Rangers. Pineoctopus grows, and the Megazord proceeds to freeze him solid. He is then destroyed, and then Sylvia thanks Trini for teaching her an important lesson and being a great babysitter. My Opinion Once again, I applaud Saban for taking not just one, but three ideas this time: Americanizing Zyuranger, the carnival from Something Wicked This Way Comes, and the clown from Stephen King's It. While I enjoyed the episode, there were two major flaws: Pineoctopus' outright campiness, and Rita's goons bailing out. Final Score 7/10 AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT After reading about two other shows created by Saban, Big Bad Beetleborgs and VR Troopers, I've decided to create two upcoming spinoff blogs: PRfan93 Reviews Beetleborgs, and PRfan93 Reviews VR Troopers. These blogs will review each series (adapted from Toei's Metal Heroes franchise), and the format will be similar to this blog's. May the Power Protect You, PRfan93

That sucks...feel better, OK?

Introduction This entry is actually a special one, seeing as one of my friends' birthdays was today. So, I'm dedicating this one to you, yayayayayala! THIS IS MY B-DAY PRESENT TO YOU! :3 The Episode Our episode begins in the Juice Bar (...HGHTHBGFHFHFHFHFHFHAAAAAAAAAAANOTAGAIN!...Oh, wait, they actually have a legit reason this time...), where the Rangers aside from Zack are setting up a birthday party. Ernie has his suspicions about the Rangers, so the gang tells him that the Rangers are space aliens. This seems to satisfy the bar owner, so he leaves the matter at that. Meanwhile, Rita plans to give Zack a "present" of her own: an ancient warrior of hers known as the Knasty Knight. Squatt and Baboo help forge the Knight's sword, and the creature is brought to life. The next day, Zack tries to get Kimberly to remember his birthday. She lies, and Zack leaves, rejected and disappointed that his friends don't remember his birthday. As he goes for a walk, the Knight ambushes him, and Zack morphs...only to find out he is powerless against this new foe. Zordon informs the others, and they go to help. Unfortunately for them, their Power Weapons are ineffective as well. Rita makes Knasty Knight grow, and the Megazord is summoned. After getting their butts kicked, the Rangers find out the monster's weakness: his own powers can be reflected back at him. They use this to their advantage, and at the end, they celebrate Zack's birthday. My Opinion After the previously three good episodes, this one goes back to formula...but subverts it a bit with the Knight's weakness. This, however, does not save it from a "Eh..." score in my eyes. Final Score 5.5/10

XD

Uggghhh...*facepalms*

...LOUDER!!!

Several episodes away. You'll know when.

...Eeyup.

Introduction ...Ticklesneezer? The Episode The episode begins in the Rangers' English class, where Hobby Week is taking place. Trini's hobby, oddly enough, is collecting dolls. Bulk and Skull mock her for it, while the Rangers demonstrate what they like to do for fun: Billy enjoys science, Kimberly enjoys gymnastics, Zack enjoys surfing, and Jason enjoys bo staffs. Bulk and Skull decide to screw around with Trini by playing keep-away with her favorite doll, Mr. Ticklesneezer. Billy's volcano erupts on them, giving the duo their usual just desserts. That night, when Trini goes to sleep, she places Ticklesneezer on her nightstand. Meanwhile, Rita wants the doll for her own purposes. Squatt sneaks into Trini's bedroom (Hide yo' wife, hide yo' kids...) and magically brings Ticklesneezer to life. Rita finds out the elf-man enjoys collecting things, so she sends him to capture the Rangers. However, Ticklesneezer is actually a good guy at heart, so he's quite reluctant to follow Rita's orders. THE NEXT DAY... Trini notices Ticklesneezer is missing, so she asks Billy to help her find him. They are met by Goldar, Squatt, Baboo, and a group of Putties. Ticklesneezer captures the duo, so Zordon sends the other Rangers to rescue them. The other Rangers free Billy and Trini, and Rita, who has now made her first appearance on Earth, orders Ticklesneezer to capture the team. He refuses, on the grounds that he does not have a bottle. Rita gives him one, and makes him grow. Ticklesneexer captures the Megazord (HI, I'M BILLY MAYS WITH OXYMORON! IT HAS THE STRENGTH...TO CREATE MINI-MEGAZORDS!), but the Rangers free themselves using the Power Sword, and they order the elf to release all the objects and people he has collected. He complies... ...only to reveal it was all a dream. Trini wakes up, panics, then goes back to sleep, cuddling Mr. Ticklesneezer in her arms. THE NEXT DAY, FOR REAL THIS TIME... It's the last day of Hobby Week, and it's Bulk and Skull's turn. Their hobby, strangely enough, is a flea circus...but...OH NOES! WHERE ARE ALL THE FLEAS?! As it turns out, the fleas escaped, and are now crawling all over their teacher. My Opinion Like the previous two episodes of Mighty Morphin', I enjoyed this one immensely due to its breakage from the usual formula. Hobby Week was used as excellent foreshadowing for Mr. Ticklesneezer's abilities, and the twist ending was great. Final Score 8/10

...My God. That is the most badass thing I've read.

...Most modern music. Granted, there are quite a few gems in the sand, but that's it. :3
