Episode 1x17 Post Mortem

Well there, I watched it for a second time.  I got through it, even the last ten minutes when it stops being about the Green Ranger for awhile, I got through it all.  Now I’m back on track!  This post mortem has nothing to do with the episode, but more about my complete and total collapse of focus for the past month or so.  I’m really dropping the ball here, almost as though Rita Repulsa turned my attention into an evil Green Ranger and it came and punched my Trini in my Megazord (brain) and now I’m I don’t know where I was going with this.  

Can’t wait to see what happens next!

"I think we’ve only made it through Round 1 of what’s about to be a major battle."
— Jason, and yeah, I agree with you, it’s going to be at least another hour of my life’s worth of battle.  Who am I kidding, I CHOSE TO DO THIS.

After the Green Ranger knocks everybody back to Earth, we get a little taste of the rematch pizza.  A little slice, if you will.  Of the pizza of rematch.  

Except this time, there’s no nerd giving points!  And every punch is a bonus!  And kick!  Get your bonuses together, guys, cause you’re going to need them!

Um, holy crap!  The Green Ranger jumps up onto a hilltop way back in the distance that’s being blocked by a Megazord mask and then appears out of nowhere inside the control pit!

The Megazord is all fightin’ with the Goldar and then he just disappears!  Just as Megazord is about to feel the wrath of Rita and things!

So the Power Rangers get Alpha operational (and by that, I mean Billy pulls the CD-ROM out of his back) and then notice Goldar attacking on their all-seeing orb.  Except before they fight Goldar, a bunch of Putty attack.  It’s never addressed, but what the hell is this new kind of Putty?   It’s way darker, first off.  It’s also way cragglier, eschewing the smooth gray surface of a normal Putty for a more ominous, rock-like texture.  And there’s only one of them.  IT’S THE RUDOLPH THE RED NOSED REINDEER OF PUTTY.   I’m going to write a children’s book called the Loneliest Putty and it’s going to be about this Putty.

Alpha sends a panicked communicator message, but…of course…the transporter is down since all the circuitry got busted!  Guys, this is basic science!   Luckily, they were all just cleaning the flying Rad Bug when they got the SOS, so they pile everybody into Herbie and fly on over to their dessert base!

"Yeah, it’s gonna be stylin’ after Zack’s Wax."
— Zack, while cleaning that flying nerd car Billy made.  Jason seemed to question the concept of Zack’s wax, but it was dismissed pretty quickly.  As it should be.

So the Green Ranger did a number on the Command Center…he took out Alpha AND he punched a circuit panel until Zordon got disconnected from his holotube or whatever.  It’s all been pretty on-point in terms of things like storytelling and progression.  Then Rita sent Goldar to Earth and made him the giant monster of the episode.  Likely because we have ten more minutes left and they gotta make these kids happy!  These damn kids!  Get back to the Green Ranger’s plan!
