Rangers and then discuss it!
Today, we're exploring the hundred and sixth episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as
well as the forty sixth episode of Season 2, titled "Return of the Green Ranger Part
3".
We begin this episode in the park where good Tommy is waking up all groggy on the ground.
On the moon, Rita is sitting on Zedd's lap, celebrating their apparent win thus far.
She tells him to go check up on the Wizard, and Zedd takes credit for this entire plan,
and the two get into a fight.
Then, Zedd talks to the Wizard, and the Wizard says that the Green Ranger is about to destroy
Angel Grove.
We're back to the Dragonzord finally coming out of the water splashing the construction
workers while they run and scream in panic.
In the past, Skull as a soldier eats cheese in front of someone in stocks who is mad that
he's eating cheese because it smells.
Soldier Skull starts to divvy up tasks, but then the giant rats appear, and they start
to run away, and the guy in the stocks just yells "give them the cheese!"
Okay, that was oddly hilarious.
In the present, Bulk and Skull pass Tommy who asks if they've seen the guys, and they
haven't.
Alpha finds Tommy, but he can't find the others still.
Then, the alarms start going off, and it's the Dragonzord.
They call Tommy right away, and they catch him up on everything.
Alpha establishes visual contact with Tommy, and he just falls down some stairs, which
is fantastic.
Apparently, he'll be reenergized once he morphs, but only for a short time.
The wizard energizes the Dragonzord with evil, which gives him…
pupils?
Zordon tells Tommy to morph, and he does, reenergizing him.
Meanwhile, Dragonzord is just walking through stuff and eating a smokestack.
Zedd sees that the White Ranger is going to try to stop this, so he sends down literally
3 putties to stop him, and there's a putty fight that lasts less than 30 seconds.
Tommy calls out the White Tigerzord, climbing aboard, and converting to Warrior Mode.
Are you ready for another spliced up megazord battle?
Hope so because it's happening whether you consent or not!
The White Tigerzord and the Dragonzord fight each other as much as they can without being
on screen with one another when Tommy is knocked out of the White Tigerzord.
In the past, the giant rats are still chasing random people, and the rangers are also running
around, too.
Meanwhile, Tommy is feeling weak when the Wizard and the Green Ranger appear before
him.
Tommy asks if he can be sent back to see his friends, and the Green Ranger says "you
want to be sent 200 years back in time?".
Alpha locates the other Rangers easily through this, and Zordon calls Tommy, telling him
to take the Wizard's wand to go back in time to rescue the others.
Tommy does, and he disappears.
He reappears in the past above the others, and he just says that the Green Ranger is
attacking Angel Grove with the Dragonzord.
Aren't they like "uhhhh what?" because they weren't for that?
Adam says goodbye to Marissa, and they decide to bail, saying they'll come back to finish
off the rats later.
The six Rangers appear, and the five unmorphed ones morph right away.
They instantly call out their Thunderzords, forming the Thunder Megazord.
Meanwhile, Tommy just straight up murders the Wizard with his own wand, and then he
tries to tell the Green Ranger to be good because we just need you to, okay?
The Thunder Megazord and the Dragonzord are having a spliced footage fight against one
another elsewhere, but then Tommy yells for them to stop when they pull out the Thunder
Saber.
The Green Ranger then just makes the Dragonzord stop and fall over onto the ground, and all
seven seem to be celebrating even though it feels like nothing happened.
Whatever, the Green Ranger returns the Dragonzord to the sea.
Tommy convinces the Green Ranger to come with him to the past to handle the giant rats for…
some reason.
Then, the two appear, fighting the giant rats with some really bad video toaster effects
and wires.
Man, this season is a struggle.
They pile the rats up, and Tommy shrinks them back to normal size with the Wizard's wand,
and Tommy says that they should go back, but the Green Ranger says he needs to stay in
the past, and the Soldier Skull just says "he's welcome to join us" like that's
a thin.
Then, the green ranger demorphs, and he just commands a hat into his hand somehow?!
What?!
Then Tommy just leaves?!
What the actual fuck?!
In the courtyard, the six rangers are hanging out, and Adam is bummed because they had to
leave the past, and Billy says that at least they know they're all okay now, which isn't
true because they probably all died from syphilis.
Then a girl who looks just like Marissa bumps into Adam, dropping her books.
Adam helps her, and they smile at each other.
The end.
So… yeah….
Tommy just has a clone running around in the 1700s now.
That's really disturbing.
That means he's technically his own great-great grandfather or something.
Look, it's not the best three parter to ever grace Power Rangers, but it has enough
fun parts in it to make it at least a tiny bit bearable.
Other than that, I'm glad it's over.
It's quintessential Season 2: set up problem, realize you don't know how to solve problem,
and then just give up with a handwave in the end altogether.
Next time is one of the few single part episodes left this season, but until then, may the
power protect you!
