Episode 261- The Delta Discovery

Did you know we just hit 100 followers? That's right, 100 of you read our craziness. And not just because you have to, but because you want to! You guys are so awesome! I never thought we'd reach this point. Thank you, all of you, for taking the time to read our recaps. It means a lot!

And hey guys! We get Divatox again! And today I link to Star Wars instead of Star Trek. For a change.

So Divatox has Zordon in his tube thingy and he's being consumed by lava. LAVA IS EATING HIM. It's... special. But we get to see Divatox again so that's all good! The Phantom Menace Ranger is observing. He sends a recorded transmission out. "Help me, Power Rangers. You're my only hope!" Yeah, he's totally Leia.

So the Rangers go to his coordinates, where he has confronted Divatox. But then Astronema comes in and takes Zordon away, sending her goons to attack. The Rangers are all concerned about Zordon but really guys? You met him all of once! We're of the opinion Tommy and Adam kept in touch, because they're totally addicted and couldn't just give up the power, and have spoon fed the new Rangers stories of Zordon and his epic fails.

Meanwhile, Divatox must grovel to Maligore Dark Specter for her job, while Astronema gets all the credit. She runs off in the ship with Zordon. Phantom continues to fight. It's all very dramatic. Or not. Mostly because I don't like Phantom. Ecliptor shows up to take out Phantom (YAY!) but then the Rangers show up and stop him (SAD!). He runs away.

But then there is a crocodile monster thingy in the lake on Earth. It's totally stalking random guys on the beach. This episode is all over the place. The Rangers go back to Earth instead of chasing after Zordon, except Andros has to go get something by himself. Phantom hands him an iPod and Andros goes off on his own. Phantom collapses, badly damaged, with wires and circuitry and stuff hanging out. So... is he a robot? Or is that just his suit? In which case he isn't all that damaged after all.

On Earth there is a random fight with the crocodile monster thing. It molests the boys a little and then grows big and there are zords and WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL THIS???? Suddenly there are two crocodile monster things and they decide they need some help. They ought to be able to handle this on their own, but since when has this show been terribly consistent? Oh well.

Somehow Andros has caught up to the Delta Megaship. He was on his GALAXY GLIDER. AND HE CAUGHT UP TO THE SHIP. IN DEEP SPACE. He traveled light years in seconds WHILE ON A SURFBOARD. The lack of even attempting science in this BOTHERS ME.

Andros must insert a tiny cd from the iPod into a slot, but he doesn't know which one and Phantom won't respond. He picks one and there are red flashy lights and it was apparently just scanning it? That... is special. Now the Delta Megaship is his and he takes it to Earth to fight off the two crocodile monster things. It transforms as it enters the atmosphere. And it has a lot of guns. Which is also... special. They totally win. Are we surprised? I didn't think so.

Dark Specter yells at Astronema for failing him. He threatens to crush her in her sleep if she fails again. It's all good. She has a PLAN.

The Rangers head back to where they left Phantom, hoping to help him. He left another communication for them to let them know he's left to follow Dark Specter. Cassie has a sad because her imaginary boyfriend left. She ought to try to focus on a REAL boyfriend who can be PRESENT in her life. Except Phantom won't let her because he totally left her a message all her own, letting her know he's okay and please don't forget him. LET THE GIRL MOVE ON, DUDE.

3 fish. The science fail is strong with this one.
