Summary:

Curio and Poisandra are friends and it is cut by the Monster of the Day in the cells. Sledge is mad at it. He wants the Rangers to cut their bonds. It is Riley's birthday and he doesn't want Koda to tell anyone. The Rangers slide down sand dune. Shelby lost her phone. The MOD snips their friendships, except for Koda and Riley. They start fighting. Koda and Riley encounter the monster and fight it. Chase doesn't help them. They fight the Viviks. They break the scissors and Shelby's phone captures this video. Koda gets the phone. The Rangers fight in the kitchen. Ivan dumps the vanilla frosting on Chase and the gour fight. Kendall whistles and Riley and Koda shows her how they are. She tells them to go to the base. 

Chase says the monster has nothing to do it. Shelby says friendships don't last. Riley says they can build them again. Later, they tie together their legs in a three-legged race. It doesn't go well. Koda picks up Riley when he falls in a trust exercise and it goes bad for Shelby and Tyler and Chase and Ivan. Chase and the others give their Energems back and leave. Shelby doesn't care about Sledge winning. Keepers says their bonds will break with the gems and no longer be Rangers. Riley keeps checking his messages. He sees the video Shelby took and sees the Monster and his scissor broke when he tried to cut Koda's friendship bond, he says they are like family. Kendall needs a scissor piece to reverse the effect.

Wrench fixes the scissors. Sledge threatens him and sends Curio and Wrench with them. Koda apologizes Riley about his family forgetting his family seemingly. The monster's scissor breaks when he tries cutting Riley's bond and they were tricked as Koda and Riley switched clothing. Kendall takes the piece and they leave in a van. Meanwhile the others are in a bus station. Koda monitors the Energems. Chase asks for a bus for the airport. Koda and Riley blast the four with new Dino Chargers and fix the bonds. The gems glow and go back. The six morph. The Rangers fight the baddies. The monster targets Riley. Chase calls Dino Steel and protect Riley with Ivan. Ivan gives Riley his Pteracharger and they do an attack together. The monster is defeated.

Viviks become Vivizords. They call the main Megazords. The five enter and call Dino Drive. The monster is big and calls another Vivizord. Ivan in Ptera Charge Megazord comes to the rescue. Black and Green call their zords to combine: Para Raptor Formation. Riley and Chase enter the cockpit and help Ivan. The others are freed. The new formation fights the monster. The main MZ destroys the Vivizords. The new formation destroys the monster. 

Sledge is mad at Wrench and Fury comes in saying he found the purple energem. Riley is sad he has no messages and then he gets a green-theme Birthday surprise party from the Rangers. Riley wished his family could be too. Ivan takes him, he gets a message from his family via a hologram message. 

 Review:

Cute episode. For some reason, it is hard to feel sympathy for Riley but I did get 'feels' when Koda said his friends were his family. It was interesting to see the actual family of Riley. It is interesting they added Fury to the tail end to mention the purple Energem.

Yellow Ranger revealed in MMPR film

Updated November 2

Becky Gomez or Becky G, singer and actress has been cast as the Yellow Ranger for the Power Rangers reboot 2017 film. Names have not been officially released as of yet. There are rumors flying they will have the original names: Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Zack and Billy but another source says they will have new names. This weekend Power Rangers twitter says they will have the original names.

Naomi Scott will be pink and Dacre Montgomery will be red.

 RJ Cyler as blue ranger and Ludi Lin as black ranger. I find them using the original names refreshing they changed the ethnicities. It would be an interesting take to see an Asian Zack, an African-American Billy (which we've seen with Noah in Megaforce and Ethan in Dino Thunder) and a Latina Trini.

As for the plot, I'm not believing anything until it is official or approved in some way by Saban or from a credible source. 

Power Rangers Dino Charge - Rise of a Ranger - Episode Review

 

Summary:

There is construction on a beach when they discover a dinosaur skull. Meanwhile at his palace, Prince Phillip fights with a remote-controlled robot. His workers show him the fossil. They all leave and he digs out the Graphite Energem out of it. He remembers giving the gold one to Sir Ivan. He looks at the Zandar code of arms. He says "Energize" and nothing happens. At Sledge's ship, Fury is given busy work like mopping and cleaning. Poisandra teases him and is captured by the tentacle monster in the extreme cell. Fury saves her and Sledge sees this and gives him another chance. Fury then gives his broom to Poisandra.

 

Chase's little sister Chloe performs with other New Zealand children in traditional Miori dance at the museum. He promised to hang out with her but they get called for Ranger duties. Ivan fights Fury and the Rangers join and fight Viviks. Philip's robot comes in and helps fight Viviks but falls on Riley. Fury retreats and thinks of another plan. The Viviks leave and so does Chase. Philip shows up and says the robot is his. Ivan says it is not that helpful. Shelby says it got in the way. The Viviks steal the robot. Philip says they can't control it without the remote.

 

 

At the ship, Wrench reprogrammed the robot and it hits a Vivik with a sign of Ivan on it. Philip and Koda talk about how the Energem bonded with him. How it chose him. A girl asks for a autograph and tells him to be cute. Koda says the energem is mysterious and a Ranger must be worthy. Meanwhile Shelby and Kendall find a new fossil, it is from Philip. Philip donates food to a charity. He sends out checks, opens parks, and wheelchairs and keeps checking the gem. Chase and Chloe hang out at a skate park.

 

Outside at a restaurant, Philip gives the Rangers his Energem, saying it didn't bond with him. The bad guys arrive with the robot. The guards hide Philip while the Rangers fight the aliens. Chloe comes running to Chase and is in the middle of the fight. Robot attacks Chloe. Chloe shouts for help. Chase is not able to get to her.

 

 

Philip tries to go but the guards hold him back. He breaks free, kicks the robot away and grabs Chloe and runs from danger. Chase comes to hug her. The guards take Chloe back to the museum. Chase thanks Philip. The Energem flies towards Philip and bonds with him, giving him the Dino Charge Morpher (Fossilized). The 7 morph. Graphite Ranger fight the robot while the others fight Fury and the Viviks and the blue spikeballs. Koda and Ivan take down a Spikeball. Fury makes a Vivikzord. The Vivikzord knocks Tyler down.

 

Philip gets called by Kendall (who he recognizes as the museum director) and throws his Dino Charger out and Pachyzord is called. Pachyzord fights the Vivikzords on its own. Koda and Ivan come to Tyler's aid. Pachyzord destroys the Vivikzords. The seven Rangers reunite. Graphite Ranger defeats the robot. Pachyzord roars. The Rangers applaud Graphite Ranger. Fury comes in the ship and gets in trouble with Sledge. He wants another chance. Back on Earth, Chase helps Chloe skate. A car honks and it is her ride. Chloe gives Chase plane tickets to New Zealand to go for Christmas. Keeper explains what happened to Philip. Philip has to go because he has his royal duties. They can use the charger and zord but when he is needed, he will come.

Review

My grandmother had the rare instance to see this episode and she loved it. She liked how the selfish prince proved his valor by saving the girl. It is not a bad episode, I do feel like the introduction of Chase's sister was a bit rushed, did not explain how long she was going to be in America and if Chase has moved on his own or any of those logistics. People were asking why he can't stay, and some saying it has to do with the Sentai footage. Kyoryu Gray in Kyoryuger was a ghost and only helped sometimes. But I see it as if the villains attack the main 6, it would make sense to have Auxiliary Rangers on reserve.
