Happy Belated anniversary PR fans! This was the article I originally intended to post for this year's anniversary date. Just like in 2019 this is an episode collection tribute. The main heroes on this show are very youthful characters, no matter what series you're watching. Romance is a tricky concept for young people and we have been trying to decipher this mystery for decades; and many of us still have not figured it out! Once you're on the path of love, it can often become a slippery slope with bumps and hurtles along the way. Sometimes you might even end up wishing you never fall in love again, or at least until the next irresistible figure comes along! (please note I'm trying to appeal to both genders here!) You also might end up asking yourself just why you thought this was really worth it, in case you don't end up getting the right payoff. However before going further I will state that some of these stories do in fact have happy endings but a few have depressing ones too! Welcome to the When Romance gets Ridiculous discussion! We will start with a very popular Season 2 story; Goldar's Vice Versa; Adam the Black Ranger is lured over by a very cute girl with impressive Martial Arts moves. With Aisha following close by, they meet Sabrina. Who seems very nice at first but lures them into a trap and reveals herself to be Scorpina in disguise. Among the many reasons this episode is so popular is because Scorpina was played here by Sabrina Lu. She was the true American Scorpina. The Scorpina seen in Season one was created via recycled Japanese footage. Sabrina Lu only appears in this one episode and is strangely never seen again. Many fans have often speculated on just what became of this version of the Character. Scorpina was in fact working alongside Goldar. The two of them make a pretty formidable team. This even forced the Rangers to summon Tor and use the Ultra Zord. Goldar and Scorpina quickly retreated, when they saw the Ultrazord fully assembled. Although if you want some really ridiculous scenes try following Bulk and Skull in this episode! Two punk girls appear in this story and are obsessed with them. They leave them strange notes throughout the episode. Convinced they are following a trail that might lead to the Rangers' secrets, they eagerly follow the notes only to keep finding the girls they want to avoid. This episode also featured a young girl named Sara who actually does like Adam. They meet at the school dance and finally get together. Congratulations Adam You get a happy ending! Story number 2; Season 3's The potion Notion; Rito Revolto and Finster arm a new monster with the love potion that Rita first used on Zedd last season. Misschief uses invisibility powers and fires her love ray at several targets. Kimberly becomes smitten with Skull and even says she'll go to the valentines dance with him, Bulk is now super in love with Aisha and promises her the Moon and the Stars! Also silliest scenario here of all; Principal Kaplan and Lieutenant Stone both fall for Miss Appleby and are both trying to woo her at same time. This episode is really chaotic! Strangely enough It's Goldar who creates the anti-potion, hoping to use it, to save Lord Zedd. Even stranger the Anti-potion frees the humans from the spell, but after it's used on Zedd; He is still very much in love with Rita. Though Tommy was not super enthusiastic about the idea, he agreed to let Kimberly go find Skull during the dance. Kimberly offers him a dance as friends which he accepts. Jerome Stone also got a dance with Miss Appleby in the ending as well.
Episode number 3 from Turbo Cassie's Best Friend: A crazy monster attacks the Rangers with a tube of Magic Goo. The goo transforms whatever it hits. Cassie's dog Jettson gets sprayed at the beach. The dog becoomes human and creates a new persona going by "Jett." He tries to stay close to Cassie by becoming her friend but has trouble adapting to human behaviors, leading to many ridiculous scenes, including him catching a frisbee in his mouth. Cassie is very upset Jettson appears to be lost. Jett finds out his transformation is not permanent and decides to tell Cassie goodbye saying his family is moving. He ultimately turns back into a dog. Cassie is very happy to have Jettson back at the end saying that she wishes they could've met. She briefly considers the idea Jettson and Jett might have been connected but quickly dismisses it. She is very happy to have her doggy back though. Episode number 4 from Lost Galaxy; A Red Romance-Amittedly this story does have a bit more of a serious tone than the others but I still think it's well placed here. I discussed this episode before during the chapter on Leo and Kendrix. Another reason I don't strongly support the pair of Leo and Ginger is because a lot of the episode is actually about Leo trying to win her brother's respect. When a Romance episode has more scenes with the cute girl's protective older brother, than the cute girl herself I definitely find that ridiculous. That said Colby is a pretty wild one shot character. He even challenges Maronda by himself, believing Leo wasn't brave enough to face her. He ends up captured too and it's up to the Rangers to save the day. After saving Colby Leo as the Red Ranger convinces him that Leo called the Rangers to help. After Ginger and other captives are freed, Colby decides to lighten up and let Ginger spend more time with Leo. Episode number 5 from Wild Force Three's a crowd- Kendall was actually introduced in the episode, "Never Give Up". In this episode Danny got a rival for Kendall's affections. Collin was potrayed as a rich but not very brave or reliable guy who thought good looks and money were the main key factors to winning over the girl. Further chaos is caused by Wedding Dress Org. He is obessed with Wedding gowns and wants his own fancy collection. He traps a full group of brides inside a church but they are fortunately rescued by Merrick the Lunar Wolf Ranger. Danny uses some quite unconventional fighting techniques against Wedding Dress Org. He even manages to rip his dress which makes the org quite upset. Kendall learns Danny's secret and promises she'll wait for him and for when his mission is complete so they can be together. Danny was slightly upset to say goodbye but seeing Kendall wearing his bracelet did give him hope. Episode number 6 from Ninja Storm; I Love Lothor; Ratwell is a movie and Television producer from another galaxy. This evil robotic rat uses love Tablets for his schemes and promises to use the power of TV to make the world love Lothor. Meanwhile Marah and Kapri accidentally infect Blake and Cam with the tablets and both of them see Tori and start competing over her. She is not entirely impressed with their strange gifts of a wrench set and Acne Face Wash; Ha Ha! Still they're both sure only one of them deserves Tori. So they agree to a duel at the beach. When Ratwell intervenes things get pretty hairy but Blake demonstrates his strong commitment to protecting Tori. Inspiring Cam to toss back his Navy antler to help him win the fight. In this episode you can also see an entire army of fangirls who are genuinely cheering for Lothor while under an evil spell. Cam and the Thunder Rangers use a brand new Megazord combo to destroy Ratwell once and for all. I also got a really huge laugh over how skeptical Tori was of Shane and Hunter successfully making homemade fried Chicken. Never Doubt Tori! It was actually takeout! Probs to the girl in Blue!
In full seriousness real quick Adam and Cassie need to look elsewhere for love. Dating your enemy is not practical Especially when she really does want to kill you; And having a relationship with a person who is actually your pet dog turned human sounds like the kind of story you would tell a personal physchiatrist and then they would put you into a special care program. Real quick to cover Jett's side; He was being very noble but also quite secretive which could also hurt Cassie in the long run; But his nobility is to be admired. Misschief's evil potion causes chaos simply to show how tricky she is, but we got some great laughs out of that. Meanwhile the Girls Danny and Leo liked only appeared in a couple episodes and weren't very character developed. They can both do better in my opinion. Finally Tori is amazing! She's beautiful and an incredible Water Ninja! Also super smart; She doesn't need love Tablets to up her appeal! Wow that's my longest article so far! If you made it all the way through Congratulations and I hoped you laughed a lot! I certainly did! Keep on Morphing and Reading and Stay Tuned!
It was a long article. But sorry, I missed the humor. There was so much brief information, like a machine gun. I wish you had written more about the funny parts, and explained why they were funny. If you could write: "Here's a funny part. Bulk and Skull got in a jam with the blue ranger. What's funny is that they never hang out with the blue ranger." Good luck with more humor.
