Episode Review:
A great episode and Dr. K even did what other episodes could not, reduce Ben and Betty to their essential cameo than outlandish slapstick comedy that serve no other porpose to keep the younger kids entertained for a chuckle. Nate's struggle is just made whiny but Dr. K is such a delight to watch. It is great to see Olivia Tennent again and she is a prescence. Also great to see she is much calmer and mature than she was in RPM, she is a worthy mentor now. Not that she was bad before, but now she has an interesting teaching technique to pupils and more patience. Hasbro hasn't had an easy task with Power Rangers Beast Morphers. To appeal to Mighty Morphin fans (with Ben and Betty, Riptide gym, martial arts and Jason), RPM fans (with Dr. K and Venjix) and references to other seasons. They want a serious seasonw ith light moments, but also stuck doing Bowlderiwse with morals and lessons for Nickeldeon or the Moral Guardians (parents). That being said, they have done an admirable job, not perfect but at least they are trying. As for the storyline of Evox being Venjix, it was handled very well. Andrew Laing voiced Venjix in RPM and is credited as Randall Ewing in Beast Morphers. So it is great to have his voice actor back, which is unlike the mess made with Breaking Bad, with different voice actors used for characters and especially Goldar. It wouldve been nice to have the original Goldar voice as his voice is so iconic.
