This is Jason David Frank Tommy the Green Ranger

this episode and the next episode episode 39
spray to the ball matrix the Super Sentai guy
is not going to be with us he was stuck at work
So Scotty is back for now and Some interesting
things came up since the last time we recorded
or at least for me They did because finally I
don't have too much longer to wait for episodes
to be on Netflix for mega farce Yes, that's right.
Megaforce was added to Netflix since the last
time we recorded Yeah, it's actually on there
I was gonna say I was gonna tell you about that.
Yeah. Oh no, I Once I refresh my homepage one
time, I'm like, ooh, Megaforce is on there. Cool.
Now I don't have to hunt all the episodes down
that I haven't been watching. I just want to
go on a record to say that Megaforce is actually
god -stinking -effing awful. Just for the record.
All the way around. I can't even get into it.
I mean, ah, it's, oh my god, it's terrible. I
don't like anything about Megaforce. The only
thing I like is the morphers and the cards they
put in the morphers just because it's kind of
different. Kind of different. Did you never watch
Yu -Gi -Oh? Yeah, but it's not a Power Rangers.
It's still a card game. Well, it's different
in the Power Ranger canon. Yeah. So yeah, we
are here today. We're going to be continuing
the green candle part two commentary Yeah, I
oh my god when spade and I did the part one commentary
when we were watching that episode I completely
forgot about the monster and both of us when
we saw really Wait, she got control of dragons
already get at the end. The real dragons aren't
shows up like who's the other? It's the most
oh Like it totally like it totally shocked the
two of us. I've seen it for a long time So I
have no idea what you're talking about the I'm
sure it'll it'll it'll refresh us. Yeah, it'll
it'll refresh us Anything else you want to bring
up before we get to it? I just released a review
of the seasons 8 through 12 DVD set. So make
sure they check that out Cool, cool. You'll have
to send me a link to that and I'll put it in
the post. Okay. All right, as usual after the
morpher sound effect, that's when you start your
DVD player, PC, whatever you're watching this
on Netflix, to sync yourself up with the commentary.
We'll be back in a moment. Another Ranger must
go in. I'll go. Forget it. No way. Look, it makes
sense. I'm the only other Ranger who's ever been
there. While we're watching this intro... Seasons
8 through 12 gotta be the best five seasons as
a whole. You know what I mean? Like it's a y
-speed rescue, time force, wild force, ninja
storm, and dino thunder. They're not gonna make
a better box set than this box set here. Well,
December 3rd, the entire 20 seasons comes out.
Yeah, for one trillion dollars. 650 to be exact.
Yeah, which is close to 1 trillion. No, not even
I Guess we're not gonna catch us back up Like
at this point like you're just Well, I guess
I guess this is the first time he's gonna lose
his powers, right? Right. Yeah because in part
one he Learned that by touching the green candle
it started sucking us It's kind of like that
whole thing with Kimberly later where her life
force is attached to Her power coin right and
yeah, I Guess I should just say like later on
when he's trying to lose his powers. It's like
he should just be used to it It's like look dude.
Hey this happens. Yeah Seeing the two of them
together. It's like hey, it's Christmas time
everybody. Yeah Zach never wears his color Yeah,
never ever his pants are always black usually
in that scene they were blue were they but yeah
Blue with a Orange and yellow and kind of a black
striped shirt See look they're blue, yep And
the 90s the big the big thing was for for The
younger black crowd I guess you would say is
was called like cross colors and that's a lot
of their stuff that That were like this. I was
I would imagine that they're just trying to Make
him look like he's wearing cross colors of sorts,
you know without the logos and stuff Yeah You
stay here we'll be right back that guy he changes
the shut up gold are we don't want here this
guy he changes into various versions of the Zords
and in the first part just to catch you up since
you hadn't seen in a while in the first part
he was dragon Zord for the longest time and basically
how it was revealed was that Zordon said Rita
got control of the actual dragon Zord again And
that's not what happened. The actual Dragonzord
showed up and there was two of them. Oh. Who's
the Dragonzord? Tommy? Yeah, yeah. But when Spada
and I first saw it, I'm like, how are there,
like, how are there two? Why are there two? And
then the monster revealed himself. I'm like,
oh, I so totally didn't see that coming. Doesn't
later on, like, he gets hit and he starts, like,
flashing through all the zords, or did that already
happen? That's that's what happened in part one.
That's it. And he starts flashing through all
of them. What are these two nuts doing? I don't
know. Poor bulky needs a hand. Yeah, Zach does
look like someone that would be on a living colored
dance floor. And that's exactly what he was probably
going for. Like what did the preppy white kid
wear jean shorts white socks and cut -offs. Well
look there goes Jason The sad thing is Jason
in this episode reminds me so much of Emilio
Estevez in the Breakfast Club Why Because the
way he's dressed And then Belkin skull are What's
his name? The guy that spits and catches it in
his mouth? Bender. Oh, yeah. Oh No, at least
I'm throwing in his face. I knew that was gonna
happen Doesn't skull trip - oh no, I thought
skull tripped over him. You don't look so good.
No, of course a red alert means it's a red alert.
Duh Stupid Bell wouldn't oh man. I did not notice
that I had never noticed that before there's
more than one of those alarm things The oh just
a red alert things yeah, yeah, there's They're
not gonna pan down below Zordon but When they're
standing at the main course of the console, I
just noticed that there's more than one of them.
It usually only focuses on one, but I saw two
in the background. Awesome. Yeah. Oh, it's Ultra
Megazord. Yeah, the monster is the ultra mega
zord or the ultra dragons are apart. Yeah I just
hope they get that 20th anniversary dragon dagger
toy thing right Did you see how much it's gonna
be? No, I did last time spade and I talked about
it. There wasn't a price Yeah, one of the kids
of Toys R Us uh... found the shooter whatever
and it's going to be seventy nine ninety nine
well it better be damn good benefit for that
price mostly diecast to make all the uh... original
sounds and everything so and it's nice and it's
going to be a little bit bigger than the original
one so it's going to basically going to be a
replica right now well if it's going to be diecast
and it's going to have the original sounds I'd
be, you know, 80 bucks is worth it, but if it
was just gonna be a cheap plastic knockoff replica
type thing, no. $80 is too expensive. This is
the first time he's ever been inside the actual
Probably I don't know I don't have to go back
and really think about it, but he's not in it
very much Right. That's what I'm saying. It's
like it's very rare to see Tommy inside the actual
dragons art. We've seen him on top of it We've
seen him on a rooftop next to it. I bet it's
an American thing probably Nah, maybe not, because
then they would show that little guy on top.
Yeah. He looks like a muscle wrestler. He looks
like something out of Mucha Lucha. Something.
Here, just hold this for a second, would you?
Good I'm back great Why didn't he more before
he went in was there a reason oh they don't have
there does it you can't morph in the dark dimension
What about a sword or something then There you
go just hide back in the mist again, yeah He's
been in there too long he's been there for 24
seconds Kimberly shut up Yeah, what's the reason
they didn't send like two or three people in
there and just whoop Kolar's butt and take the
candle? See like right now I can't really just
stand around why wouldn't they send Kim in too?
I feel like we've seen this before If that third
section of the little poles there was a little
higher, I'd be asking why are they using King
Triton's trident. Sped up Megazord sequence.
We're running out of time, bro. It's morphin'
time. We need Megazord Power. Uh -oh. The tiny
dragon. The tiny dragon. That's Nessie, dog.
Isn't Nessie the, uh... The like this monster
yeah, that's basically what he is That's awesome,
I don't give a damn no it is I Never really liked
the carrier zords just because all it does is
roll You know, it's like I don't know you can
get on just walk next to it. What's the point?
But I mean it still looks cool for sure With
the explosion behind it. Yes, absolutely in the
fire and all that stuff There goes our boy. No
more powers. Badass. It looks better on green
than it does on red. It's only because it started
on green. Super don't remember him being the
powered -up by Red Ranger for very long. Does
he does he only use it when he when he wants
to or what? Yeah, it's very rare. I don't remember
him doing it like full -time No, it's very rare
between here and white light Now you get the
super cool flimsy vest. Let the power protect
you now. Suppose I'm like try to take his memory
or something Make him forget about it. You know
what I mean? Well, that happens much later. He
knows their secret. Oh You mean about the well
he is a Power Ranger now, so I mean that's But
as far as the villains trying to take his memory
away that happens much later No, I'm saying like
just erase his memory men in black style What
were we doing? Oh, you was lifting weights at
the gym? Thankfully men in black the films at
least weren't around at this time This is probably
like the first episode where like the good guy
kind of loses, you know, and I mean like You
think people will really fight and lose his powers?
I think this is probably the only first and only
time they ever kiss or hold hands. He's like,
look, I just lost everything. Can I have a peck
or something? Cheers! Well, there goes that one,
ladies and gentlemen. We will be back with some
final thoughts and close the show out after this.

Both of these episodes part one and part two
are are like part one when spaded like I said
before when spade and I did that commentary we
did not see that twist with the monster coming
in and Part two wrapped it up really nicely and
as you said in the commentary, it's probably
You know the good guy loses it's probably one
of the first times we've really seen that in
Power Rangers because it's not often that that
Rita ever won Right and it won't be often past
the first past the first time that Zed shows
up It will not be often that he wins either Yeah,

one episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Birds
of a Feather. For now, I am TFU and Mike with
Scotty Cash. Thank you for listening. May the
power protect you all. I'm afraid it's too late,
Rangers. The green candle has been extinguished.
What? Didn't Rita's won? There is only one way
to stop the transference of power now. Green
Ranger must give up his power coin. No way. He
can't just give up. There's no other choice,
Kim. By giving his coin to another Ranger, Tommy
can prevent Rita from gaining its power. It is
the only way. I guess this is it, huh? Well,
it's been great. Tommy don't worry. I'll be all
right in that fucking tin can, dude!
No chapter markers for this episode.
