Episode 222 - Honey I Shrunk the Rangers - Part 2

We are BACK. Sorry about that whole hiatus thing, but I'm done with the semester and I had a pretty amazing time at No Pink Spandex Live seeing DAVID YOST and also some familiar people from this blog, and we are returning to our old schedule. :D

So. After the most ridiculous cliffhanger ever (and I totally remember watching and being VERY ANNOYED about the whole no new episodes until September thing) we open with the Rangers in a box, and realizing that they're being turned into insects, or at least they all have wings.

Adam figures out a plan. Step one - cut a hole in the box. They escape and cut a hole in some pipe and Divatox shrinks some pirahnatrons to chase after them. There's an extended fight scene, and they go down a slide and somehow they end up in Divatox's closet, and they talk a lot about wanting to come out of it.

We fully encourage this.

Anyway, there's some more fight scenes and honestly, be more boring, episode, I DARE you. Oh, and now they have antennae and not just wings. Somehow they come up with the idea of launching some torpedoes to make themselves grow, and there's a long scene of them clinging to the torpedoes. The torpedoes explode and everyone is returned to normal. I'm not sure why it also de-bugified them, but I'll just blame it on the fish.

Then I guess it also made the stupid fly monster grow and there's a fight scene. Oh, and since Bulk and Skull were exposed to the torpedo that somehow returned them to human form, but now they're INVISIBLE.

Eh, at least they aren't monkeys anymore?

Fish: 4. The science made no sense, and also it was wicked boring. Oh, Turbo, it's good to be back.

ALSO: David Yost totally justified our fish scale, since one of the episodes he really remembers is the one where Billy is afraid of fish. Also, he let us know that Billy totally divorces the fish. We are awesome.

Episode 221- Honey, I Shrunk the Rangers Part 1

Today on Power Rangers: The worst cliffhanger EVER!

So apparently this was the two parter that aired at the break for summer. Part 1 aired in May. The show went on hiatus until September when part 2 aired. I don't remember watching this first run, but if this was my teaser to come back and see what happens next? I totally wouldn't have bothered.

So Angel Grove is apparently very, very, VERY dirty. The city is hosting a Clean Up Day to pick up all the litter, which feels very familiar. Piranhatrons attack. Small Children cling to Adam in fear. The Blue Senturion rescues them, only to later be attacked by a fly-sized fly monster that wreaks havoc on his systems. Meanwhile, Chimp!Bulk and Skull steal Lt. Stone's car and Justin chases after it, with Lt. Stone following behind in a little girl's bike (who charged him $50 to borrow it).

Tanya is the first to figure out the fly is bugging the Blue Senturion. They get the fly out and he goes back to normal. The fly manages to shrink them all, which has totally happened before, and it was way better then, and they get captured by Elgar. He gives the Tiny!Rangers to Divatox in a silver and black gift box. And THIS is the cliffhanger. *is bored now*

The most interesting thing about this episode is the discussion TSB and I had about how sad it is we don't see Raymond anymore. We really liked Raymond! We figure it's summer so he's either off at some Jewish day camp or the Super Awesome Genius camp. Or maybe he just started college early. Either way, we miss Raymond!

4 fish. It really says something when the most interesting thing about an episode is what DIDN'T happen in it.
