About this Episode

They track the episode's plot, including Rita Repulsa's plan to solar-power the Megazord, the Zords' battle against Scorpina, and the bus-related cliffhanger. The discussion highlights production inconsistencies, questionable character logic, and nostalgic memories of the show.

Today on Power Rangers This is Jason David Frank

Tommy the Green Ranger and you are listening

to the command center You know, you just never

know. You know you just never know. Welcome to

a collaboration between the GeekCast Radio Network

and the Pop Culture Network. This is from the

Command Center, The Podcast, Episode 34. I am

your host, TFJ and Mike, and joining me from

PCN is Scotty Cash. Hello. What's going on? Not

much. Also joining us once more is Spray to the

Bolt Matrix. Hello. Hello. All right. So Green

with Evil. Part four. Until we've gone back and

done commentaries on this, I mean, outside of

like, I knew that Tommy went evil. I knew he

was mean to the rest of the team and everything

else. I've forgotten a lot of this stuff. And

that's, again, that's one of the reasons why

we are doing commentaries now is because I want

to remember my childhood and I just don't anymore.

I don't know you guys spit is any memorable things

before we watch this is Ernie Do you have any

outstanding memories of episode part four of

this? Part four no, but if this is when the dragon

sword appears That would make me that would make

me very happy. I'm pretty sure it is I'm also

I'm also pretty sure this is one of my favorite

parts where Kimberly sees him like lifting weights

and she's like Tommy we know you're the green

ranger and he's like well pink ranger and she

just about shits herself cuz she's like How could

anyone know that? Yeah, yeah long and this guy

knows Yeah, because part five is all about wrapping

it up and he's broken the spell and everything

else. So Alright, without any further ado, we're

gonna get straight to the commentary after the

usual Jason David Frank bumper and the Mighty

Morphin Call sign after this. I am Rita's evil

Green Ranger and my Empress tells me that this

is the Green Ranger with evil part four. Are

you guys playing or no? Yeah. Yes. Damnit. Are

you serious? Are you fucking kidding me? We were

going off your fucking countdown. No, I mean,

I said damn it because mine didn't want to play.

What time code are you at? 29 seconds. OK, we're

probably at this. I'm probably. Let's see. You're

at thirty nine. Thirty eight seconds. Thirty

nine. OK, I'm there. After 10 ,000 years, I need

to use the bidet. Oh god. Oh. Eww. Well, you

constantly make your shower jokes, so... That's

going even farther down the road of eww. Goldar's

giant, and he's doing things to stuff, and wait,

the buildings are perfectly fine. No, not that

one. Oh Oh, oh What oh we forgot to change the

batteries in these damn things How did none of

them get hurt yeah, so he's seriously wrong no

shit You know, I know Alpha has some - Oh god,

unintended consequences! I know Alpha has some

sort of battery in himself to keep himself running,

but yikes, does that flashing chest symbol look

like it takes a lot of battery power? Yay, Finster!

Why does squat remind me of a blue version of

Odin's Odin from the Avengers or not from Thor

I should say Wait wait since when is the Megazord

solar powered? Yeah, that was something we should

have brought up last episode to I didn't think

about that until right now when you just said

that Yeah Yes, I will create an eclipse to cut

off his power What? So wait, if the Megazord

is solar powered, then what about the individual

Zords? Because before this, they have fought

at night, haven't they? I don't think so, not

until the movie. I don't remember. Come on, Billy,

fix this shit! Aren't you supposed to be smart,

bro? The red wire, the blue wire, the red wire,

the blue wire. Cyan wire! This is Cyanmese. Oh

god, I can't even finish that. You dare, dirty

bag. The only time it was the only cats I cannot

stand that the cats from Lady and the Tramp Oh

Oh And Billy said let there be light most of

those most of those circuit boards aren't plugged

into anything Yeah, but they have to do some

sort of effect to give the audience something

to look at. So when they morph, they end up somewhere

else. But when they demorph, they end up in yet

another spot. Yeah. Hmm. I noticed something

about those putties that just attacked them before

the scorpion fight. One of the putties had a

wrecking ball on his fist, so that's where Bulkhead

got it from. Everything resorts back to Transformers

with you. Damn right. They need a stiff drink!

I'm just waiting for that white bowling ball

to roll down the command center steps. Hey dude,

as many times as a monster is destroyed, Angel

Grove, the thing's gotta be like, the size of,

like, most of the world. Look at these two. Fat

guy joke Shake the um If if the if the ground

was shaking like this no one would be able to

run Yeah, but you know we have to allow them

to actually act at some point And if the ground

was shaking that bad, the bus wouldn't be able

to drive down the street without driving into

a friggin' ditch. Very true. And they're old

enough to drive and the keys were in the bus?

Yeah, that's another problem in itself. Uh oh.

Dun dun. Done done done done done done done done

done Hey, seriously, how mad would that make

you? Like you finally got stick on a bicycle.

Oh, yes, she is Well the one the sent out version

she was always on a bike. Yeah, that's how she

got around She's the wicked witch of the angel

Grove or Tokyo same difference, whatever Mean

it's Japan Tokyo is destroyed like on a daily

basis. Yes Look East Godzilla or a reasonable

facsimile of him wait Isn't that the same park

where they just were? Yes episode. Yes It wasn't

destroyed Matt The monsters in the middle of

the city Wait, you guys were just at a park.

How are you at the marina? Whatever. Yeah And

that wasn't the bus they were in Yeah, whatever

It's a bunch of jump cut scenes At least they

actually have you know bus seats according to

what a coach would actually be versus a transit

coach like would so that's They at least tried.

Yes I'll be pissed off if I was Billy like we

just got this son of a bitch going Dickhead shows

up, ruins Alpha. It just looks at Alpha and goes,

I needed that! I think I know exactly what to

do. Because you could really mess something up.

Is he actually wait I thought so written on was

just in on another like planet or something Yeah,

but the signal is interdimensional so Okay, there

was four putties Trying to rock that bus even

if it is on a cliff There's no way in hell the

putties are that strong for putties by that like

I could say if it was six ten Twenty like an

entire army, but there's no way even on a cliff

could all those putties. Okay. Well, there you

go squatting bad well even with Leverage like

that. I'm assuming they put the bus in park So

I seriously doubt the wheels would be rolling

Really? You would assume that scared Skull driving

a bus before Goldar picked it up would put it

in park. And really, do these old, I don't even

think these old buses have automatic transmissions,

I could be wrong. No, a coach bus like this has

to have an automatic. Is Skull saluting? You

have an exit out the back! You could just open

the door and jump on Baboo. He doesn't do anything.

Actually, no, the coaches don't have exits out

the back. No, but when they drove off, when they

drove off, it had an exit out the back. Did it

really? Yes. That's combining a coach with a

school bus right there. Because generally in

the back of coaches is the engine. My dad used

to drive for a... charter bus company so yeah

I just need to finish the job push the sparkle

buttons Sword on it's a multicolored head hmm

Wait does bulk have a ponytail yeah in the Where

have you been bro? No, I know he did in the earlier

episodes, but I didn't think by now That he would

yeah, he has always had a ponytail all through

all these episodes Yay, the Zords are here! The

sun must be back out. Dino therms connected,

intracells are up! Megathrusters are go! Is that

the ringtone you got, Scotty? Yes. I didn't end

up getting it though, because I wasn't getting

all my information. The one you found? Yes, sir.

That was it. I love how the toy picks up the

toy. I'd like to know how they're not dead. Yeah.

Or, you know, severely hurt. And yes, see? They're

at the back of the bus. Emergency exit. Yeah,

you're right. Yeah, that's wrong. That's not

a bus. That's one of those people carriers. Yeah,

a people carrier as opposed to, I don't know,

a shopping cart. We knew what you meant, big

guy. Yeah. It's late you're old we understand

Oh She gets real ugly Yeah, this isn't the attack

of the 50 -foot woman that was in dude wears

my car at all Again, when has it ever been mentioned

that the thing's solar powered? Yeah, it hasn't.

But I do love how, as the sun is slowly engulfed,

Billy's like 25 % when it's only a little bit,

and 50 % when it's half. Did he just ask for

a power glove? Power sword. I mean, it's awesome.

It's so bad. Yes. Yes, it was. I forget what

games the power glove went to. Mike Tyson's Punch

-Out, Road Rash, or anything. It went with a

lot of them, but it didn't really work. Except

for Mike Tyson. It sort of worked for Mike Tyson.

love how the Japanese versions of the helmets

have no clips on the side and then the US version

of the helmets do have like those clips like

you would find on snow boots for skis oh kind

of like in season two when Tommy pulls up his

pulls off his helmet after he's revealed to be

the new white ray yeah that's yeah They knew

he was captured how? Mm -hmm Apparently reader

Rita is clairvoyant or her wand is And he looks

thinner did you hear his voice come on? Yeah,

who said that get over here? As we beware as

we circle laugh at you Now she just said I love

it when a plan comes together that would have

been perfect I Did like that effect on when scorpion

us shocked the Megazord That was kind of cool,

and I was right this is where the zords get destroyed

quote unquote and i don't think Dragon Zord only

showed up in one of these episodes. Oh my god.

So it is episode 5? Yep. It has to be because

this ends on the cliffhanger of the Zords being

destroyed. Looks like Rita destroyed a part of

us. Really? Now they're gone, hands on hips.

That's not a reaction of sorrow that's like oh

Mommy the evil witch destroyed my toy You have

alien technology Billy can build a nuke you have

a teleporter So you're telling me there's a chance

Way to overstate the obvious, Trini. Way to give

up, Trins. Way to give up. Speak English, Alpha.

Answers. Wait for it. This is the cliffhanger

Kimberly look I am You know, it wouldn't be that

surprising he's been a total dick to all of you

lately. Yeah, really That is the end of part

four commentary. We'll be back with final thoughts
