The Episode
Our episode begins in the Location-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, where Billy is helping a young genius named Willy at the science fair. Willy's invention is a virtual reality machine, which is actually very impressive for a kid his age, let alone the '90's.
Rita, meanwhile, wants to capture Willy for his intellect (so Rita's acknowledging her stupidity? Surprising...), along with the other smart children of Earth. On Finster's recommendation, she creates Eye Guy and sends him down.
Meanwhile, the antics of our favorite bullies Bulk and Skull inadvertently get Willy disqualified. Dejected, Willy heads off to the park, when he is captured by Eye Guy. Somehow transported to an alternate dimension, the Rangers desperately look for him, then go to Zordon, who informs them of the situation.
They confront Eye Guy (without his main eye, mind you), along with Baboo. They blast him with the Power Blaster, but he reforms and curbstomps the Rangers. Zordon tells Billy that he can find the main eye in the forest. The other Rangers hold off Eye Guy in the meantime.
Anyways, after the usual Megazord battle, Willy is freed (FREE WILLY 4 CONFIRMED) and ends up winning first prize in the science fair after an apology from the judge.
My Opinion
Aside from several unintentional double entendres and plot errors, I enjoy this episode for the same reasons as the previous one: it's an Americanized Zyuranger episode. Eye Guy is also very unique in terms of monsters: even after being blasted, he's able to reform his body, not unlike Majin Buu.
Final Score
7.5/10
