Review:

This would only have worked if Human Blaze was more part of the team in previous episodes. Because viewers are only used to seeing evil Blaze. Plus, if they had different names. If they called human Blaze Bradley or something. It gets confusing, even for adults, which Blaze they are referring to. Plus Blaze already sounds like an evil name. Also when they say Roxy, they don't make the distinction of Robo Roxy or human Roxy, who doesn't even make an appearance. Would have been nice for Robo Blaze to miss or being negative towards to human Roxy as a clue he was evil. If the Rangers already had a relationship on screen with human Blaze, it would be an indicator as to why they put up with his behavior. The story was a nice idea but without any supporting relationship prior, it doesn't work and it is obvious it is evil Blaze.

Episode Review:
I like the new fighting footage. I do not like the plot with Mike constantly entering and exiting the Riptide on the same day. It doesn't make sense one person would enter and leave a place back and forth for no reason. It would have made more sense he stayed there. Plus Zoey steals a fossil sample from an excavation site that is not sure if it was from Archeologists or Mike. If it was archeologists, they were dumb to leave the site unattained. If it was Mike's, then makes no sense Zoey got the whole entire fossil out of there. But of course, Power Rangers wasn't always for realistic logic. I mean a dog squirts ketchup on them!
