Episode Review:
I used to work in television production and they always say don't work with kids and animals. I have seen good dog 'actors', but Cody seems to be a fickle dog to work with. I do love the speech Hayley gave Redbot about being human, it was good writing and felt heartfelt. The only writing flaw is that Hayley didn't have to dance with Redbot at the same time as the dance, she could've done it at any time. I guess it is the thought that counts. Honestly the only exciting thing in this episode is the semi-reveal of the Gold Ranger.
