Episode 84 - The Ninja Encounter Part 3

Previously, on Power Rangers - absolutely nothing happened. Really, I've seen these episodes a dozen times (this is what happened when I decide to write 10,000 words of fic about them) so I've looked for something that happens in them. It's like they used up all the actual plot and dialogue for the first part, and then they realized that this was supposed to be a three parter, and put something together at the last second.

Adam/Rocky/Aisha are still in the cave. And you know, I love them all so much, but man, the acting in this is so bad. And we get some more ridiculous dialogue "I never imagined I'd use my abilities for evil." Really, Rocky? That's even more cheesy than Adam's earlier line. I choose to believe that Rocky is making fun of Adam.

Meanwhile, Bulk is playing with baby Jacob in the park, making silly faces at him and asking him "who's a punky monkey?" Skull arrives with like 10 boxes of diapers, and was going to explain the advantages of cloth diapers or whatever, but I will spare you the lecture. :P We get a really long sequence of Bulk ripping the diapers as he tries to change Jacob, and they eventually uses Skull's bandanna. Oh, and Bulk gets squirted in the face. With water from Jacob's bottle. ;)

Back at the Command Center, Billy manages to unfreeze everyone, so they go fight the monster and summon the zords again. But now they're nearly too late, as the snake is about to infuse Aisha with the venom of evil, so Zordon decides that it is finally more important to rescue the three teens and their teacher, so he pulls everyone but Jason and Zack away from the fight. So, they can operate the Zord with two people? And why didn't they just take the thirty seconds earlier? Why are there so many fish in this episode? Why isn't Rocky shirtless? These are the important questions we need to ponder right now!

Kim and Tommy go fight the putties while Trini and Billy go rescue my OT3. Aisha, despite having been told not to make any sudden movements, whirls around to yell that the Power Rangers are there, but the snake doesn't bite her. It's a failbot, that snake. Billy pulls the snake off of them, and wrestles around with it on the ground. Trini shoots the chains that are tying them up, and then teleports out Mr. Anderson, while Rocky/Adam/Aisha go join the fight with the putties. (Why she doesn't teleport the three of them as well? We guess the fish told her not to.)

Kim tells them to aim for the Z, and then the three of them immediately begin to beat up the putties, because they are awesome. And I would seriously just watch more of them fighting. I love how Aisha is told to aim for the Z and carefully aims her fist at a putty that is jumping at her so he destroys himself. I love how awesome Adam is at fighting. I love that Rocky isn't wearing a shirt under his vest. So, all the Putties are destroyed, and they realized Billy still hasn't emerged from the cave. Because he is rolling around on the ground with the snake, talking about how it can't bite him.

Kimberly shouts Billy's name, and she and Tommy run over to him. Kimberly shoots the snake, and it vanishes, and for some reason Billy can't breathe, so they take off his helmet. We don't know why. But we do know that Billy seems remarkably better after his face ends up in her lap.

But oh no! The Stone Canyon Trio has seen Billy's face (and you know, heard Kim call his name.) The other two take off their helmets, and everyone is shocked! SHOCKED! (On a related note, I love how you could clearly see that Tommy's hair was not tucked into the helmet. Fail!

Meanwhile, Zack and Jason destroy the monster. And Trini leaves Mr. Anderson at the bottom of a hill, telling him that baby!Jacob is up at the top.

At the Command Center, Zordon tells the Trio that he has investigated their backgrounds, and he trusts them as they are all wholesome and good, and are clearly used to keeping secrets since they're all dating each other. They swear upon the forces of goodness not to reveal the Rangers' identities.

Back at the Park, Bulk and Skull are telling Mr Anderson about how the Rangers once saved them. Aisha winks at Kim and says the Power Rangers saved them too. Subtle, Aisha. Real subtle. Bulk and Skull want to interview everyone, but then they run away after Mr. Anderson asks them to babysit.

Fish: 4. Not quite as ridiculous as part 2, but still pretty bad. Seriously, if it only lived up to the awesomeness that was part 1...

Covered in: Bulk gets covered in water. At least they didn't go for the obvious joke.

Billy speak: "I've boosted the stimulator to maximum capacity, but it's not working."
