Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 The Mutiny Commentary

Hello everyone, this is Jason David Frank and

you are listening from the Command Center Geekcast

Radio Network. welcome to from the command center

this is episode forty four it's and a little

while but we kinda needed a break in as i announced

at the end of the beginning of episode forty

three uh... the end is nigh for the show we've

been doing this for almost three four years now

when we launched this damn show i don't even

remember yeah it was back in the old days when

we had when we had slow internet oh wait back

in the old days of I am of course your host TFJ

and Mike and joining me is SpadeoftheBoltMiniMatrix.

Hello sir. Hello shiny Jim. How you doing? Doing

good, doing good. I had a Twitter conversation

with one of our fans in between episode 43 and

44 and I cannot pull it up right now. hopefully

i can i can find it by next time basically uh...

the juxtaposition of it was he was you know saying

that he was said shows going away and and uh...

you know he kinda i think he made a comment about

a way to alienate the fan base i'm sure there

are many other power rangers podcasts out there

i don't know nobody's thinks index is still going

strong I know that there's several other ones.

From the command center last three or four years,

we've kind of run our course. It's not just because

I'm not interested anymore. It's part of that.

I just think ending it on 50 episodes is gonna

be the best thing, and we are gonna be doing

episodes that, you know, people are gonna wanna

hear. We will be getting to the Megaforce episode

whenever. I have Super Megaforce on my DVR, and

I have yet to see a recorded episode in at least

eight months. I don't even know when the last

Super Megaforce new episode was. Well over a

month ago. I believe it was in May. Yeah, like...

I think the last new episode of Super Megaforce

that I remember DVRing was Silver Lining part

1 and 2. Yeah, and I haven't seen any new...

No, they're going on a three or four month hiatus

again. Oh, Jesus. Whatever. So like I said in

episode 43, we are going to be doing a commentary

on Forever Ed. We are going to be doing a commentary

on White Light Parts 1 and 2. We are going to

be doing all those classic episodes. This time

around, we're going to be doing a first here

on the podcast. We're going to do three commentaries

in one episode. There will be breaks so people

can follow along with their Netflix or DVDs or

however you watch the show. but we are starting

season two and we're going to be commentating

on the mutiny three -parter, the one that introduced

the new emperor, dun dun dun. So I think I briefly

mentioned it in episode 43, I honestly can't

remember because it was a while ago. But since

the last time you were on the show, Mr. Grumblebee,

you really have nothing to grumble about right

now. Well, maybe loss of sleep, because a certain

event in your life, if you'd like to share with

everyone about that. Well, since I was last on,

my wife has given birth to our son. I am now

a papa. Congratulations. Thank you. Just wait

for the day where he steals all your toys. First

he has to figure out what his hands are. So that

has been as of today he's just over two months

old So he is he's doing great he He's just trucking

along. He was seven pounds when he was born as

of today. He is over 11 pounds So he's picking

up weight really nicely. He's growing and he's

doing great And I'm really tired Yeah, parenthood'll

do that to ya. Alright, so how I'm gonna break

this up, I may, for the first commentary for

the mutiny part one, I'm gonna play the classic

MMPR morphin call little sound effect that I

usually play. I'm not sure if in between parts

two and part three if I'll put... like a quote

from the show or something. I don't know how

I'm gonna break them up. We'll get to that when

we get to it. And then we're gonna give final

thoughts in the closing of the show on the entire

arc of these three episodes. So that's how it's

gonna go. Get ready for the morphin call, cause

here it comes. No bathroom jokes this time. I

can't. I just I can't make them anymore. They're

obvious at this point. I mean, we can't. Oh,

you know, even to this day, it still myths me

that the original Yellow Ranger. Was in the original

show male and we have a female and I don't know

why. I don't know why it irritates me. Well,

I guess I'm just a Sentai snob. I would probably

say it's so that the other guys wouldn't all,

you know, pile on Kimberly, I guess. I don't

know. Hey, is this an episode of Dino Thunder?

You'd think, wouldn't you? The Dino Thunder Ninja

Storm crossover. This doesn't surprise me at

all though because they were always into all

kinds of these outdoor activities so And the

fact that it's school sponsor I don't know of

any school high school Elementary school middle

school that would ever sponsor a race like this

hell no Because hello Insurance claims yeah,

yeah Look at those guys. And I still maintain

that the bulkhead skull had more character development

through all of Power Rangers than anyone else.

Yep. Let's take a look at our map. Wait, you

think they would have done that before? Yeah,

you think? I'm gonna miss those guys. Yeah. Squat

and Baboo, I'm gonna miss them. I mean, we see

them in the closet a few... Oh god, that's a

bad joke. No, no, no. But they did put them in

a... some sort of closet. You know, I have yet

to figure out why they didn't just shoot them.

Did they I don't I honestly don't remember did

they in any episode did they ever go down to

earth like as Big as gold are and Scorpion would

sometimes I don't think they ever did I think

they did at one point Mm -hmm. Well, I mean it

there are quite a few episodes. So it's kind

of hard to remember Yeah Did anybody ever figure

out where angel Grove is supposed to be Is it

California? I assume I mean That's the only place

I can think of that would have this kind of terrain

plus a lake plus An ocean I mean Really, it's

a city by the bay. So I guess you could say it's

a double for San Francisco. I honestly don't

know Okay Have to admit when heat when Zed first

showed up when I was younger. I just looked at

him and went holy crap And it was awesome, I

think we were both around the same age around

13 Yeah, and I still remember when he first showed

up just thinking this guy's gonna scare the crap

out of kids His chamber of command You mean his

command center That's what we ought to change

the name of the show to Lord Zed's command center

Commands or Lord Zed and his super chair So they

see these giant flashes of lightning And it's

unusual because there's no rain. Okay. Way to

be 90s, Zach. Oh, so is Jason there. I think

they're all a little bit 90s. What calculations?

Yeah, really. Yeah, between Zack and Jason they

are the two 90s most looking kids there. Zack

with his durag and Jason with his one earring

and one ear. And his quaff. Yeah. I am Goldar.

I am Goldar. I do like this new set though. This

new set looks awesome. That was unnecessary.

Wait, did they just get eaten? No, I don't want

to say they morphed, they teleported. Now this

is what freaked me out, not that first scene.

This right here. This freaked me out as a 13.

And the random snake. Which will eventually become

his staff. Hey, wait a second. I see what they

did there. Lord Z is Jafar from Aladdin. The

groveling one. The groveling golden monkey. Tell

me was this just to get him a new action figure

probably Hey look Lord Zed has hot rod and RC

powers from Transformers the movie Sort of bad

omens give me sight beyond sight Okay, now where

are they, seriously? Behind the wall. Yeah, okay,

behind the wall, but why would they teleport

behind a wall that has peepholes in it so they

can see out? Well, you see, before Lord Zedd

came back, they were renting the room to a bunch

of, uh, producers from LA for a while, and things

got weird. So you're saying that the entire season

one of this show is basically a hidden version

of the real world from MTV? Sure, let's go with

that. That's the more family -friendly version

of where I was going. Oh. Okay. I'll round up

the others. They're only, like, ten feet behind

me. Know we heard it as the audience, but how

the hell did they hear it over the engines? How

do they hear the it probably vibrated? It's gonna

be bad juju I Love how they are so isolated yet.

They still all look around before they teleport.

Yep I mean, I guess you could say for argument's

sake that other riders might be riding by, but

so far, as far as I can tell in that race, they're

the only, they're the six people that are in

the lead. And I mean, it's not like anybody's

going to notice their bikes just sitting off

to the side. Well, both can skull do later. Yeah.

No, you are totally effed. I had a nickel for

every time someone said that. Except, let's see,

Lord Vile, or Master Vile, the Machine Empire,

Everything in the Disney era. Robo Knight. Goze.

I have Z flavored putties. even as a kid when

I saw these guys I'm like just what happens if

you hit the Z before we even get to the fight

scene I always thought they were dumb I just

thought I always thought it was I thought they

were just repaints yeah dude look where you're

going look out for the rock And plus in an ATV,

the ATV should be able to handle that rock. It

would suck hitting it, yes, but... Wait, how

did they end up... But physics doesn't work like

that. No. When does he have a feathery cap? It's

a mohawk. Oh, that's his hair. Oh, God. Uh, I'm

so used to bulk with no hair. Wait, no, that's...

It's a mohawk in the helmet? Yes. That's stupid.

Ugh. Hey, look, a map! Oh, giant boats of lightning!

Oh, my God, what we do now? Well, if it is California

and you hear thunder like that, it's possible

that thunder might actually not be thunder but

an earthquake? Could be, yeah. Oh, traveling

vehicle. Oh my god. Well, we do know that Rita

will come back and she will get the last laugh.

And even when I was a kid, I knew that that wasn't

Rita. You mean the small version? No, I mean

the US version that they replaced her like a

stunt double. Oh, okay. Honestly, for me, the

voice is Rita. I mean, you know, the actress

might change, but as long as, you know, good

old Miss Barbara Goodson is doing the voice,

that's very true. Really all that matters. Wow,

she went flying. Yeah, the physics in this episode

so do not work because they were just in the

tree to the left of those vehicles. Mm -hmm I

guess Malkin Skull aren't used to watching horror

movies. Oh God, can you imagine? A scary movie

sick starring Balkan Skull. Wait, why... Why

are Zack and Kimberly wearing pink? They were

wearing pink jackets a second ago. I know why

Kimberly does, but why is... The top of Zack's

jacket pink. I thought it was reddish. No. No,

do you think? oh god all the putties are different

versions of chicken boo from animaniacs that's

not a putty he's a chicken um your weapons like

gun sword um Dagger, lance, power bow. I mean,

you've got your gun right there on your hip.

No. Your bow and arrow. But guns are bad, Spada.

Nobody wants to teach kids how to use guns. Uh

-huh. Power Rangers brought to you by the NRA,

where every fight is finished with a gun. A giant

honking robot gun. I'm getting weak. Yeah. This

is that whole storyline still with him losing

his powers. Ever since the Green Candle he's

been losing his powers and all that stuff. Yeah.

Just magically he hits the chest. Guys, aim for

the Z! Well, in their defense, I mean, it looks

like they're wearing vested armor or something,

so hitting the chest wouldn't really hurt much,

you would think. Yep, they'd explode. I hate

the fact that when you have the US version...

They have the visible clips on the side of their

helmets. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Well, I think that's

the... Yeah, you're right. I think that's the

show that they do come off because, you know,

why have a show where you can't even show the

actors at certain points? Mm -hmm. Do they always

show the clips? I mean, I know that they show

them in... When it's the U .S. footage. They

have clips. When it's the Japanese footage, they

do not. Okay. And this is the episode that starts

off their lifelong quest to find out who the

Power Rangers are. I'd be dead. Or whatever the

putties do to people when they actually catch

them. Have the putties ever succeeded? I don't

think so. Hell, the Tengu warriors are more capable

than the putties are. And that's saying something

about those bird brains. Yeah. These sticks,

these sticks make a whistling sound, and there's

more like nails than a chalkboard. That's one

scary -looking fish face. Wait, why was there

a piranha in a U .S. river? I don't know. We're

going to plug you into a bowl somewhere. Mm -hmm.

And now we're on Japanese footage. Yep. So he

has a fish flute, like the dragon flute. No,

he doesn't have a flute. He just whistled and

water came out. But he's holding a fish. Those

are nunchucks. Oh, okay. Wait. Why would you

call the dinosaurs when the fish dude hasn't

gotten bigger yet? Because he's more powerful

than Rita's monsters Now look at that the Triceratops

froze and then it didn't oh they all do it. Yeah

Wow, okay Is it just me or is this episode going

by really fast? Yeah, that went by. I don't think

that was even 20 minutes. I have here on my thing

saying it has 26, 25 seconds left. So yeah, we

basically leave off with... Frozen Zords. Frozen

Zords. Freezing the Zords. Alrighty then, come

back in a moment when we have the part two commentary.

After this. Ah, I'm still in this dumpster. So

we are here for episode two of The Mutiny. Yeah,

I thought they would have changed the intro by

now. Uh, not yet because the new Zords haven't

been introduced. That's true, that's true. And

it's funny, like... Austin State, I'm waiting

for the point where they have the original five

Rangers, well, four of the original five Rangers

at a con if they could just get Amy Jo Johnson.

Yeah. But apparently she wants nothing to do

with the fandom. And to be honest, I can't totally

blame her. Right. Mean she was on no pink spandex.

Well, I think it was at a convention that they

did that but who knows Whoa flying Tyrannosaurus,

I don't remember that either Normally he comes

up out of the ground doesn't he? Yeah So this

was your plan all along, freeze the other zords

and then... And please explain to me why a fish

has freezing telepathy. That makes absolutely

no sense. I don't know if it's freezing telepathy.

I just call it kind of dumb. Well, I combined

his two powers. He has the power of freezing

because he froze the other Zords and now he has

the power of telepathy through his whistle to

control the Tyrannosaurus. Hey, did you see that

white light in front of his face a second ago?

Yeah. Here, Tommy, pull my finger. Wait did the

helmet mysteriously just hop on yes on his oh

my god Uh -huh worst move ever Tommy It's about

as lame as you becoming a race car driver and

turbo the series because reasons Yes, because

reasons Way to take away all that character development

just to have him be a Nicholas Cage gone in 60

seconds character I Do like seeing these two

fight though, that's pretty cool I've always

been introduced introduced or yeah interested

in just Like seeing how they film this stuff

because it's obviously the tails are on wires.

They're the tails are puppeteered right i would

love to i mean there was that video on youtube

a little while ago of the white tigerzord being

filmed but i'd love to see it in a more modern

context at the finished howl what is he doing

Okay, what did Lord Zedd just do? I don't know.

Usually when you point anything, whether it be

a moon -shaped wand or a z -lettered monogram

staff at the planet, you usually hit the monster

or you usually hit a building or you do some

sort of damage. That blast did nothing. And he

was aiming at the East Coast. As we show the

same footage over and over and over again. And

so they were just in the city but oh whatever.

The Zords teleport too I guess. Yeah but the

Rangers are still in the city. Yeah. Magic of

film footage ladies and gentlemen. The myth or

the magic of editing. Oh I always love this part

though. This was awesome. Yum, yum, yum, yum.

Crunch. Isn't this the same when the Zords are

fighting? Isn't this just the same footage from

when the Dragon Zord first appeared? Mm -hmm.

Pretty much. Yeah, it's, well, with the exception

of the fact that Tommy's not. Yes, that is the

exact same footage that they used when Tommy

first appeared, when he just used the flute.

And wait, in that... Right there. That. Right

there. That's the exact same shot when he first

used the flute. It's the exact same building.

It's the exact same everything. I mean, I don't

have a problem with them reusing footage, but

they're basically combining footage from Green

with Evil part whatever part it was. Part five,

I think. Yeah, it was part five. I love the drill

bit tail. That's awesome. Trenasaurus doesn't

seem to be doing anything. Maybe because it has

no weapons other than smashing stuff. He's just

sitting back there drinking a beer while letting

Dragonzord do everything. You know, if Ferana's

head was any smarter, he would have had them

combined together already. Oh wait, the Trenasaurus

never did combine with the dragon. Well, that

couldn't happen. Damn. Well, I'm sure with the

Zord builder system, we can come up with something.

The power of thunder. Alls I can think of is

Michael Keaton as Chick. Thund -a -ka -chicka

on friggin' cars. Oh, brother. Follow me, we're

going over here. Yeah. That is a beautiful shot,

though. Yes, of all their crotches. No, I mean

the fade, you idiot. Red Dragon Megatron. Nobody

controls Red Dragon Megatron. Billy controls

Swift Wind. All of them are technically useless.

Right now they are, yeah. terrible green screen

it was the 90s there they were limited by the

technology of their time and his vest looks stupid

in this shot yeah in fact all of the all of the

neck pillows look pretty bad When did the palace

get a Lord Zed head as a decoration for the outside

of it? Um, sheep remodeling? Magic? Yeah, something

like that. No, but I know it's probably for the

actor's benefit, but what I don't like about

Tommy's little, you know, basically it's his

own version of the Seinfeld puffy shirt look.

in the action shots it looks like it's metallic

or it's you know stationary and hard yes in these

shots it looks like a soggy mushroom yeah the

alarm hasn't gone off in a while I'm wondering

how long it'll be until it does again By my calculations,

um What are you calculating? Yeah They forgot

their helmets Some geniuses But they're not dead

That just because they don't have their zords

doesn't mean they're powerless They are humans

after all it can still be annoying I Gotta say

though. I do love zeds look his entire look.

Oh, yeah, some of these shots of Oh my god. I

forgot so much red Wow That nearly freaked my

eyes out. Holy crap. I forgot about that But

what I love about his design is how intricate

it is and how basically They blew their costuming

budget on Zed. They couldn't afford anything

else for the other Rangers Yeah, I would have

liked like thunderzord costumes, I know that

sounds silly but something a little I I know

wait the race is still going on isn't it like

the next day yes maybe because of the thunder

they postpone the race the first day until the

second day who knows you're already morphed Well,

they have to remorph Wait did they say a flute

Yes, I told you it was a damn flute. It's a nunchuck

flute, because he doesn't just whistle. A flute

chuck? Yeah. I could never ride one of those

things. You go that way, I'll go this way. It's

a circle. And... They'll loop back. Yep. Like,

they can't see each other? Seriously? I always

thought the fish was just flipping people off.

Eh, that too. Yeah, we can't figure out how to

get the Teddy Ruxpin in the Easy Bake Oven and

not die! Her helmet looks weird. Jazz hands,

everybody! Oh, US footage. Yep. Which means that

the US footage uses the soft, soggy mushroom

shield. Yes, they do. And the Japanese footage

must be, or the Sentai footage must be the...

Don't want to say hard but since the metallic

looking she yes Wow So you're gonna send more

putties like they didn't fail already You know,

that's the other thing I miss about this show

right now Because Zed makes the putties himself,

there's no need for Finster anymore. I miss Finster.

Yeah, where did he go? He just disappeared. You

know the piranha thing doesn't really do much.

No, not really. He's one of those hands -off

kind of monsters I Wonder if Walter Jones can

actually do all these moves who know JDF can

do all his but Well, they are a lot older now.

So I don't know. Hey, wait a second. I just saw

in Kimberly that it was a Are you telling me

that they're actually in the suits doing this

fight? No. No, they're not. Because I just saw

her helmet have the things on the side of it.

Yeah, that's American footage. We just watched

American recorded footage. The actors are never

in the suits except for when they're filming

a scene with the helmets off. It's all stunt

doubles. Okay. And then they do voiceovers. Yeah.

What are these guys doing? Are they still going

around in the circle? Yes. Why, Jesus, it takes

them this long to go around in a damn circle?

Now, you would think if the Green Ranger was

losing his power that, you know, he wouldn't

be using it up by being in his suit all the time.

Nah. Well, Zordon did infuse him with some strange

green liquid. I do like Piranha's Head's design

though. It is a cool design. Chris, it does look

like he's wearing bell bottoms. They put him

in reverse. Seriously? How are the joys of running

footage backwards? Yeah, way to reuse stuff.

You ever know, throughout the years, Bulk and

Skull have never been truly attacked. They've

been at most greatly inconvenienced. Yeah, they

might be the most powerful people in this universe.

What kind of move is that gonna pull? Oh, just

a straight three punch? I thought he was gonna

do something more fancy than that. Hey, look,

Kimberly used the... She used the form of the

bicycle kick that Tommy would use later in the

movie. Is the fish now pregnant? Did you just

see his stomach? Look like he... Look like his

stomach... I think all the monster costumes are

from Japan. They are now in a quarry. Yep. Wait,

wasn't that the sound from the go -bots? Possibly,

yes. That wouldn't surprise me, honestly. Now

wouldn't I make sense for the audience to be

able to see what's in the viewing globe from

our perspective of the viewing globe? Sure looking

at I've never understood that good. Oh Episodes

over Wow yikes. What were you gonna say though

really quickly? I was gonna say we watch these

end credits I was gonna say why do they have

to get control the old zords first? Because there's

not enough energy to start the new zords Without

returning me. It's part of the whole morphin

grid thing. Everything has a balance. I guess

I don't know All right, we're gonna go to part

three after this Yeah, everything we've worked

for is gone not quite treating alpha managed

to save enough of your old zords to create the

news or He can still morph, he just can't power

a Zord! We'll keep trying to find a way to regenerate

Tommy's powers, but right now you've got to go

and save Angel Grove and the world! Your swords

are now activated. You gonna be okay? Yeah, go

on. Give him one for me. Back to action! this

intro hey we can't wait now no we really can't

make any more Rita jokes du du du du du du du

du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du

du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du

du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du

du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du

du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du

du du du du du du du So that's what they're building,

a signal blocker. I was wondering what that giant

box was at Billy's garage. It's an Easy Bake

Oven! And the race is still going on. They couldn't

have postponed it this long. Alpha set set set

mode to vibrate Why don't you just I don't know

nuke the moon or something Wait that was the

same scene as last episode mm -hmm They're doing

the exact same thing. In fact, he was working

on the same wire. Mm -hmm Hey looks fun babo

or out of the closet. Yeah And Lord zeds missing

his fluid his coolant his PC cooling fluid isn't

flowing Yeah, he's more silver in that picture

That was such a damn good costume It was, yeah.

Look at all those old -ass cars and trucks. Oh

my god. How can they hear them? Is it just me

or does Lord Zed look like the Joker, the metallic

version of the Joker as far as it is? And they're

now doing the peephole thing again. Yep. And,

I mean, nobody noticed the, what, like 800 -foot

giant metal dragon thing walking towards them

nobody noticed that what was that dude that rock

just like totally exploded why is it that with

bulk in his mohawk helmet he reminds me of birdman

And I'm not talking about the attorney -at -law.

Oh, yeah, I can see that. Mike the Bulk Man Dodd.

Wait, Bulk was in that last shot. Not this one,

but the one before it. He was there. Driving

forwards. Run away very slowly. Run away! Run

away! moderate speed I love this new palace oh

it's not a new palace but that's it why are you

happy no one's dead yet no I know kids had erector

sets and chemistry sets and hot plates and all

this and all that when they were younger and

everything else but seriously I don't think Anyone

that I ever knew had a chemistry set or some

sort of scientific set like Billy's room or his

garage or wherever the hell they were just at.

There were a lot of diodes there. What's wrong

with it? The batteries must be in the wrong way.

Are you kidding me? Two and a half episodes of

all that work and they put the batteries in wrong

Oh, that's oh wait he's doing that again, you

know He really doesn't seem to do much no So

it's a five -barrel blaster, seriously? Yeah,

you never noticed that? It shoots the colors

of the rainbow. Well, I guess they're just magically

delicious, aren't they? Yep. What a hot foot.

Told you. That's not possible. That's just bad

writing right there. Well, it's the original

Japanese footage is what we're watching right

now, so. No, I mean about the battery. That's

just bad writing. Yes. You don't need to. Point.

I think Zedd noticed. Does the fire from the

Earth's core come up that quickly? There's no

way in hell Well, I mean if it if it was a tear

in the Earth's cross all the way down to the

mantle then it's okay. Yeah possible Shoot them

You have lightning bolts from the you you have

the ability to shoot giant massive lightning

bolts from the moon How about targeting them?

directly Because it's a kids show and you need

to have the kids in order to have a show Well

after season three they got rid of all of them

No, that's technically not right after turbo

they got rid of they replaced all of them skew

you guys i'm going home yeah they basically prontus

head's fish nunchuck thing basically copied the

dragon dagger and i did see him pressing buttons

on the fish so it was a fish Wait, isn't that

the same bomb that's used by the Machine Empire?

Might be. Looks like we might have to do a Zeo

episode to find out. Did you just say I'm a big

fish now? No. Okay, just wanted to make sure.

And it's the same scene from episode two. Wait

eat but how But how did but what I but Hey, his

lending bolt is reversed. How the hell did that

happen? I Don't know It's backwards it says out

the Now, where is he? I don't know what he walked

I never understood this. The morphing sequence

or the... No, the changing from one Zord, from

the old Zords, transforming into the new ones.

And I hate Zordon's laugh. That was just a creepy

uncle laugh. That was a that was creepier than

brimlocks chuckle in five faces of darkness part

one Those look badass though I Was like I liked

the red Thunderzord the best the dragon. Yeah

It was a great toy too. Do you ever do a review

on him? No, I'm I sold them before YouTube even

existed, and I've never gotten the hold of them

again. Sadly. I don't like that transformation.

I don't mind this, but seeing all the parts of

the Zord, that's a little weird. And hey, instead

of being in the head, we're gonna be in the chest.

We're the tits of the new Zord. You know, the

most vulnerable part of the Zord. Yeah, you think?

I mean, it's got a giant green button on the

front to hit. Yep. It's got two giant green buttons,

one on the chest and one on the head. Yep. Look

at that giant green button right there. Maybe

they press that and the Green Ranger gets his

own Zord too. Double click. I will say that this

sword is not as impressive as the old power sword,

though. It's more like a katana than a battle

sword. What just happened? He threw the other

half of his fish thing at them. He threw it like

it was a harpoon and he's reeling them in. He's

basically fishing for Power Rangers. Oh, I got

a plaid one. Throw it back. Wait, they sheathed

the sword, then they took it back out again?

Really? Seriously? Come on now. Nice background

effect. Looked like the Thunderzord was at Niagara

Falls there for a minute. Well, it's a traditional

Japanese waterfall painting. Ah, there's Finster.

And you know the sad thing is Finster's probably

just like working down in his workshop just Doing

stuff. Yeah Lord Zed's first defeat. The first

of many. Yes. See, look, pink. I told you, Zach,

wearing pink. Yep, you're right. And Billy's

kind of wearing green. Greenish, and Jason's

wearing mostly black. I mean... It's a nitpick,

but and it's one of those creepy looking Windbreakers

that Zack has one of those creepy looking 91

says multicolored you see at Walmart and Kmart

and everything else. Look at her. She's dancing

in the dumpster. How can they see into the dumpster?

Oh god, that's cruel Never do that again. No

never Zordon ever. That's just creepy as all

hell Oh god, they're still, they're still going

backwards. Um, they could just jump off. They're

not going that fast. I know, but it's Bokun Skull.

I mean, they're not exactly the sharpest tools

in the shed. Yeah. Wait, so they have to go back

and get Billy's signal blocker to stop it seriously

and Is it me or is it bigger? It's you it's the

same size as it was before It might be a different

side of it and they could have gotten off this

whole time That's ridiculous And they just leave

it there seriously Like nobody's gonna come by

and see that I'm trying to remember, did they

ever find out? Yeah, they did once and then they...

Forgot about it? No, they purposefully forgot

about it. I think they used like a memory erasing

ray on themselves or something. Oh, okay. And

then... And then they did discover who the Rangers

were at the end of, what was it, space? In space?

Yeah. And hey, look the race is still going on

and all these people have been waiting here at

the finish line for the last three days and if

they manage They're gonna You know, nobody noticed

the I don't know the giant mechanical dragon

or the giant mechanical Allosaurus Yes, because

the race was such an important important plot

point that they had to finish it Yep Alright

folks, that's gonna do it. We're gonna come back

with final thoughts and closing the show after

this Alright folks, there you go Season two opener

mutiny three -parter Interesting We have new

villains. We have gold are with new flying powers.

We have yet to see him use We have new zords

Which technique I'm guessing from the explanation

Zordon gave they needed to Regain control of

the old zords to transfer their energy into the

new zords And I guess the whole morphing sequence

that you don't like with the zords is basically

showing us that hey This energy from the old

zord now makes this new one. I This is the only

explanation I can think of. Sure. I don't know.

What kind of logic is there in Power Rangers?

Not much, right? Good point. What did you think

of the overall opening to the second season?

I love Lord Zedd. I like the new Zords. Laughing

Zordon is creepy as hell. Yes it is. And to be

honest, I remember these episodes being a lot

better than they actually are. Yeah, they're...

I don't want to be negative about it because

I love seeing the New Zords. I love the song

that goes along with the New Zords. But yeah,

I mean the backdrop of the race just... that

just seemed like... It just seemed useless, honestly.

Like, they could have... What they could have

done was, in the first episode when Lord Zed

starts all this stuff, they could have stopped

the race, not had it at all in the second episode,

and then brought it back in the third at the

end. But, I don't know. Well, these three episodes

feel like... Honestly, it feels like it took

days for this to occur. But the race is still

going on. So it only happened within the period

of like a few hours absolutely, yeah, and I don't

know if you notice but you could tell when they

were filming some of the American scenes because

The Sun was moving when they started It felt

like the beginning of the day and when they came

to the end it felt more like I don't know Like

three o 'clock in the at three four o 'clock

in the afternoon Oh yeah, no, I noticed that.

Yeah, it was just a little ridiculous. But like

you said, you know, a lot of the good outweighs

the bad. I mean, I think the bad is more so in

the story and in the plot of the episode, but

all the stuff that actually happened with the

new Zords, with Lord Zed coming, with Rita's

reaction to it, with Groveling Goldar's reaction

to it... He never had a sword before now, did

he I don't remember. Oh, yeah, so oh he did have

that sword He had a sword. I don't know if it

was that so yeah, I mean seeing the show as an

older Person much much older person now I see

a lot of the like editing mistakes and the incongruent

plot and the complete lack of costuming Yeah,

but as a kid I just saw a fun show that I loved

absolutely So the moral of the story is getting

older sucks All right, so folks next time around

we are gonna be doing white light parts one and

part two in episode 45 of from the command center

I'm not exactly sure when that's gonna be It's

going to depend on if I can get Scotty and Spada

together That episode might just be Scotty and

I I don't know But that's the next episode coming

up on the docket for from the command center
