Episode 103 - The Wedding - Part 3

Just so everyone knows, there won't be a recap this weekend, because I'm going to a SCA event. Your regularly scheduled recaps will start up again next week. (... Our schedule says we're supposed to be in season 3 by now. Oops.)

Anyway, the wedding. You guys, this is the greatest thing in the history of the show so far. If the entire episode had been the wedding, it would have been amazing. Finster performs the ceremony! Goldar didn't bother to get musicians because he's trying to sabotage the wedding it was such short notice! One of the monsters ends up playing the wedding march! Speaking of, Rita's version of the wedding march is "Here comes the queen, ain't that a scream." ILU, Rita. BE MORE AWESOME, I DARE YOU. And Goldar speaks up when Finster asks if there's a reason why they shouldn't wed, and Rita hits him with her bouquet. Zedd calls Rita his little prickly pear, and she doesn't want to kiss him!

I have a thing for ridiculous wedding related hijinks, and this is pretty much amazing.

Also, there are fireworks on the moon. And then they dance to hava nagila. (HAVA NAGILA FIGURE SKATING, YOU GUYS. I LOVE YOUTUBE.) We're not really sure why Zedd and Rita chose to play Hava Nagila at their wedding, since it wasn't a Jewish ceremony, but we don't really care, because it is awesome. And the putties and monsters were dancing, and seriously, LOVE.

... Oh, right. There's a plot that isn't about Rita and Zedd. Um, Alpha is still evil, and we adore him. The Rangers are trapped in the abandoned theater, supposedly without their powers even though they're still morphed. Rocky punches the ground and that causes a mini earthquake. I guess that wasn't part of the random power loss. And then they throw a net over the monster that was guarding them and run out the abandoned mine shaft again.

Rita and Zedd are honeymooning on Serpenterra (Rita is sitting on Zedd's lap and they are singing 99 bottles of slime on the wall, and did I mention that Serpenterra has a just married sign?) when Goldar calls to let them know that the Rangers escaped. They tell him to deal with it.

The Rangers make it back to the Command Center, and they pull the disc out of Alpha, and his normal personality reappears, which means no more evil!Alpha. That is a tragedy. Billy figures out some way to get Zordon back, and Alpha feels guilty. Then they go summon Zords and fight a bunch of monsters. Tommy shows off a lot.

At the end, they go back to Australia, and their chaperone is impatient because they it's been two hours and they have to head to a museum now. That was only two hours? Really? ... Right. The Rangers go off to the museum, and Alpha realizes that he left Bulk and Skull in the middle of the outback, so he brings them back, dumping them on their asses in the process. Whatever.

This... did not have a lot of plot. Sorry!

Fish: 5. It doesn't matter how much I love this episode, it was still completely ridiculous.
