We've reached the end of the Zeo Quest! FINALLY.
So, we open in Stereotype!Africa, where Aisha and Tanya (Tanya! ♥) meet Ashalla. Aisha remembers that she had a great aunt Ashalla, and wonders if it's the same person. Oh, Aisha. Aisha tells Ashalla about her quest, and Ashalla gives a big speech about how there's a legend that some girl will save them and how Aisha is that girl, and then she gives Aisha the crystal in the hope that Aisha will stay. It's decided that because Aisha volunteered in an animal shelter, she'll stay in Africa and Tanya will go back in her place. (Tanya has been with the tribe for three years, ever since her explorer parents vanished.)
Somehow, I get stuck with attempting to explain the time travel. Here's how I'm going to do it.
FISH.
I don't know if Aisha went back in time, or what, or how Aisha's family ends up with her in Africa. So I'm just going to state what I believe.
1-Everyone remembers that Aisha used to live in Angel Grove, and then she moved to Africa.
2-So no, Tanya has not always been there. People remember Aisha.
3-Tanya is awesome.
4-The fish are strong with this one.
5-Time travel makes no sense.
Meanwhile, in Angel Grove - all the water is gone in the world. Except for some bottles from the earthquake readiness kit in the Command Center. I guess they were concerned about Tommy following his heart or something. For some reason, the Rangers are only concerned about the Aquitians, even though all the water being gone is a really big freaking deal. The clouds are eating all the water. I can't even imagine how much damage this caused.
Billy aims a device at the viewing globe and somehow that makes it rain. The Aquitians fight Hydro Hog, and he stopped the Shogunzord's sword, which is pretty awesome. So then Billy takes the toy Falconzord and uses it to combine with the Shogunzord and they beat the Hydro Hog, which makes all the water come back.
Zordon talks to Aisha, who tells him her plan of staying behind. Zordon tells Aisha that he knew one of them would. Maybe there should have been some foreshadowing? Also, worst sendoff ever. Well, it's up there, anyway. After the awesomeness of how they got rid of Kim, you would think they could have done better for Aisha.
Tanya gives the crystal to Billy, and everyone turns back to their normal ages. Finally! The Rangers (minus Tanya) go say goodbye to the Aquitians while Alpha and Tanya talk.
Underneath the Command Center, Rito and Goldar are trying to figure out how to destroy the detonator. Rito suggests that it's hammer time. But just then, Rita shows up and tells them to steal the Zeo Crystal, so they just teleport into the Command Center. How do they do that? Did Zordon turn off the protections so that other people could get in?
The other Rangers get back, and then the Command Center starts to blow up. This was traumatizing to baby!TSB. Adam is concerned for Zordon! Rocky is concerned for Alpha! Billy throws himself on a console and gets hit with some sort of white light! Then they teleport out and the COMMAND CENTER BLOWS UP. OMGWTFBBQ. Everyone is traumatized, and Tommy (once again) wonders if this is the end of the Power Rangers.
And then we got a stupid preview for Zeo, and I spent the next two months wondering what the hell a triangle had to do with new powers.
Fish: FIVE. Was there even any doubt?
Fic we want: Aisha told Tanya enough so that she could identify Billy. What else did she tell Tanya?
Questions: If someone wants to take a stab at explaining time travel, or how they explain Tanya (I assume Billy will be doing some hacking) or why the Aquitians weren't affected by the time travel thing, or if anyone in Angel Grove even remembers the Aquitians, feel free to go ahead.

Episode 154- Hogday Afternoon Part 1
It's almost over. It's almost over. It's almost over.
So Aisha ends up in STEREOTYPICAL AFRICA! Because all of Africa is apparently the Savannah and it's all populated by lions. She is pulled behind a rock by Tanya to avoid a lion. They must be in Kenya (forget Norway!).
Rito and Goldar are STILL wandering around underneath the Command Center. It's been days upon days upon days and they're still down there. Lost. Must be pretty hungry too. They follow a sign and end up in the storage room (with the potential remains of Alpha 4), where they plant the explosives. Finally. Except Rita shows up and tells them to wait because Zedd wants the crystal intact first. Oops.
Zedd and Rita call the HydroHog from Aquitar. Rita flatters him, he comes, and he drains a lake of water. The Aquitian Rangers kind of fail at stopping him, so he dries up the lake. He calls them aliens. THEY ARE FROM THE SAME PLANET. *headdesk* They pass out from lack of water, and apparently there is now no water to be found in Angel Grove. Why this is only negatively affecting the Aquitian rangers, we're not sure. No wonder there are so many fish in this episode. They had to go SOMEWHERE once the water evaporated.
Aisha discovers the animals are sick. She worked in an animal shelter. Surely she can help! Because she's so much smarter than the Wildlife Rescue people who spent at least 8 years in college specializing in this sort of thing. Or something. Aisha and Tanya run through the setting sun, trying to get back to the village before nightfall, lest they be eaten by hyenas. Because don't forget, they're in AFRICA.
If only this episode had been eaten by hyenas.
5 fish. This gets ALL THE FISH of Angel Grove. LITERALLY.

Episode 143 - Sound of Dischordia
We had a long debate about which episode we were on, before we decided to go to continue on with the Ranger Central episode guide. This may or may not have had something to do with us not wanting to watch I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger.
Not that this was much of an improvement. I mean, yay Aisha! But the song. And the FISH. And the singing! And this is coming from someone who likes the Zeo episode where Tommy and Tanya have to sing the whole time.
Honestly, the only thing I remembered about this episode was Catherine Sutherland complaining at Morphicon about how stupid this song is. And it is really stupid.
The episode begins with Aisha and Kat in some sort of music studio in Angel Grove High. Fancy! They're singing some awful song that Aisha wrote to enter the write the school song for Angel Grove contest. This fits in with my personal fanon that when Tanya goes on to be a famous singer, Aisha writes some of her songs and then Tanya makes all of the former Rangers who can sing go on tour with her. Anyway.
Kat is having trouble with the harmony, and she's losing her confidence. If I was writing this episode, she would be having a crisis of confidence and then placed under a spell where she doesn't think she's good enough and then she has to realize how awesome she is. But I'm not writing it. Instead, Bulk and Skull shatter some glass with their singing and Kat realizes she's not that bad, and they practice some more, while Tommy tells Kat how awesome she is.
Hey, Tommy, you remember Kim? Your girlfriend? God, no wonder she dumps him. (Oops, spoilers!)
Kat and Aisha show up at the Juice Bar, having bought out the mall, and the guys tease them about their shopping habits, clearly noticing that they're just nervous and that the shopping is stress relief. I totally know people who do this *stares at overflowing bookshelves* so yay for characterization! Also, adorable.
Up on the moon or Master Vile's ship or whatever, Master Vile decides he needs a singing monster. My poor eardrums. The monster then attacks Kat and Aisha, and it makes them dance. (Someone had better use the awesome icon of the dancing in the comments, or I will be sad)
The other Rangers show up, and there is more dancing, and the monster tries to make Tommy give up his power coin and Zord, because it is all about Tommy.
The Rangers manage to break the spell long enough to summon the sparklearmor, and then they dazzle the monster.
TSB: THEY DAZZLED HER
QR: OH GOD THIS IS WHERE SMEYER GOT HER IDEA ISN'T IT?
TSB: YES
QR: NOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes, this is exactly how we do the recap.
Then they power down and the monster grows and we are only ten minutes into the episode. CRAP. There's a six minute long zord fight where Ninjor shows up and only Tommy can save the day and there's a bunch of fish, and the only important thing is that the monster calls them Power Puffs! Oh, and they summon the toy version of Titanus and pasted on some fire.
After the defeat, Master Vile refuses to leave because that would mean admitting that Zedd didn't suck.
At the contest, some group is singing a song that has the power of rock, but has nothing to do with school spirit. Kat and Aisha sing their awful song, and they win. Then there are hugs. I am in favor of hugs!
Fish: 4. Seriously, long Zord fights are never a good idea.
Fic we want: All the female Rangers go on tour together! Make this happen!
