[EPISODE DISCUSSION] Power Rangers RPM: Episode 4 "Go for the Green"

JDF'd · 03-20-2009, 05:16 PM

Flynn isn't cooking for everyone and Ziggy has yet to crossdress. This isn't the Go-onger copy and paste effort I was expecting!

Go For The Green?

OHGODS IT'S A TOMMY REF! DRAGONZORD IS COMING BACK!

Ziggy: What the--fo?

Really? Wow. Excellent episode. I love the way Ziggy unwilling became the Green Ranger. That is probably my favorite episode of the season.

"Creepy Doc K computer screen."

Wow. This show sure is dark and serious.

GreenNinja · 03-21-2009, 12:02 PM

Once again, Dr. K adds some plausibility to the suits. They do have extra powers, but they sort of make sense, with the suits being prototypes. Also, that was a pretty clever plan of Venjix's to get T-7 onto the team, and Ziggy becoming a Ranger entirely by accident and being forced to adjust was something new. Though he goes about it anyway. Also, the mafia.

4/5, again. Everything makes sense and feels solid. This season truly is off to a great start.

...I'm *never going to get "A-Hunting We Will Go" out of my head...but at least it supports my personal theory that androids have a thing for whistling...

Anyways, I missed the first 10 minutes of this ep because I overslept, so I'll better analysis when I watch it all. But man, this ep really makes me think Dillon/Summer shipping is entirely overrated and Ziggy's the real bottom in Dillon's life. >__>.

Just saying, he seems to really be overprotective of Ziggy...

- Really, folks? Where is Ziggy finding these eccentrics? These trials are an example of what happens when a show tries too hard to be funny.

- How does Tenaya run, much less do all those stunts in those heels?

- Tenaya's announcing of her presence via whistling... Oh my God, a Turboranger reference!! >.>

- Good, two instamorphs. Those are always fun.

- A Rocket Blaster.... that shoots lasers. Right.

- Check out how cool Ziggy is? He didn't do anything!

And no, I don't think anyone other than a mad geek would find a spandex (Oh sorry, they're not spandex!) suit that appealing on a date.

So far the one thing that's the most enjoyable from this show is the Dillon-Ziggy duo. The rest of these characters are hardly notable.

Separated at birth?

I loved the episode. It was nearly perfect.

1. The ranger auditions, some were hilarious. They lasted a little too long, but it was a cool idea.
2. Corinth City has a mafia. The last group of humans on Earth, and yet they still have a mafia. Nice touch
3. Tenaya's Whistling. That was great.
4. So let me get this straight, they trust Tenaya before they know anything about her, but they don't trust the guy (Dillon) who saved them during a battle earlier on. That seemed just a bit off.
5.Why did Tenaya 7 reveal she was an attack bot to the guys who were testing her for Venjix Hardware? That didn't make sense.
6. The chase scene was nice.
7. I knew Ziggy was going to morph when Dr. K said to guard it with his life.
8. Quick Morphs, those are better than the long drawn out ones.
9. The more I hear of Flynn, the more I think human Shrek. The line "Never mind where's Green. Who's Green?" Is where I noticed it the most.
10. Megazord Battle seemed tacked on.
11. The other rangers should have been more understanding of Ziggy being a ranger. He prevented the morpher from falling into evil hands, and actually helped destroy the monster. He wasn't a total screw up as a ranger, and he should have been treated as a hero, not like crap for bonding with the morpher.

Overall, I think this may have been the best episode of the season. I give it a 5 out of 5.

They thought she was from the inside. Dillon is an outsider.

How attracted is Mary Jane to Spider-Man, as opposed to Peter Parker? Lois Lane to Superman rather than Clark Kent? It isn't the spandex, it's the hero. The mystery. Much like Parker, Ziggy probably wouldn't have much of a chance any other way.

How is that a turboranger reference? Are you referring to Zulten?

No. I'm referring to Nagareboshi Hikaru/Yamimaru, who has a characteristic tune he whistles whenever he makes an entrance.

BTW, did anyone else notice Fresno Bob's toupee?

Also a possible Gatchaman reference, as well (Ken used to announce his presence that way).

Remember kids, everything must be a reference to something. No matter how likely it actually is.

Oh hell yeah. And give Ziggy a Big Mac, dude needs gain a few pounds.

TZMhero · 03-21-2009, 08:09 PM

Am I the only one who was slightly annoyed with Tenaya 7's voice? It just felt odd hearing her deliver those lines.

lolz at her being Tenaya 7 and Dillon having 'series 7 Venjix hardware' Fun times.
