Power Rangers MegaForce Episode 2-He Blasted Me With Science: Summary And Thoughts

Pictures come from MegaForce Cast. 

Summary:

Vrak persuades Admiral Malkor to send a monster down to earth so that he can capture humans and research the way that they live. He does so and the monster starts to capture people. This catches the eyes of Gia and Jake. They follow the monster to the beach. They are spotted by the monster and commands Loogies to attack. Troy and Emma arrive and Noah comes in later. (Why?) They free the civilians and defeat the monster with the MegaForce Blaster. However, Vrak reveals his "Zombats" that make the monster grow. From the Command Cave, Gosei and Tensou activate new Power Cards that reveal to them their "Mechazords". Troy gets the Dragon, Emma gets the Phoenix, Jake gets the Snake (hardy har har), Gia gets the Tiger and Noah gets the Shark. They all form to get the Gosei Great Megazord. With it, they defeat the monster with a Victory Charge. Admiral Malkor gets ticked off for the failure. Gosei tells them that their bravery and teamwork saved the day. (????)

Thoughts:

While not as strong as Mega Mission, it's still pretty good. I liked the debut of the Megazord. It was cool ans lasted long enough to show us what it can do. I liked the little flashback of Troy running into Creepox. At first, I thought it was another vision. The reason why the Zords are called "Mechazords" is to make a reference to "Super Sentai". (the Japanese show where Power Rangers gets it's footage from.) The Zords are called "Mecha" so they decided to use it for this. Gosei Great is also the name of the Megazord in "Goseiger" (the Sentai that the first half of MegaForce is using.) Admiral Malkor also getting ticked and breaking his wall was also a breath of fresh air.

The things I DIDN'T like were the confusing bits. For one, Gosei said they saved the day because of their teamwork and bravery.........HOW? When was that brought up or exhibited? They were fine. Also, Noah showing up WAY LATER was stupid. I know that they have to deal with the footage and all, but come on. He's stuck behind with the science teacher? Way to stereotypical. No interaction with Gosei and Tensou beyond talking on their Morphers was confusing. The obviously know where the cave is, so why can't they go there?

Overall, it was still a good episode, just not up there with Mega Mission. This episode gets a 

4/5
