50. Ranger Yellow Part 1 and 2 (RPM)

I forgot to put this episode in the polls but early on it was in the 20's and 30's but pushed back to 50's. This is one of my favorite RPM episodes because it changed our notions on Summer and we learn more about her. Rarely does a girl Ranger get a two-parter. When we initially thought she was a pharametic in the first episodes, we found out she was a spoiled brat who had to learn to be a tough person the hard way.

49. Something to Fight for (Time Force)

Wes steps up to become the Red Ranger and we all fall in love with Jason Faunt.

48. Season to Remember (Zeo)

I love this episode because not only we see Tom and Kat together in the future as grandparents but we see a lot of different cultures such as Rocky's Mexican background again and Raymond being Jewish.

47. Frax's Fury (Time Force)
46. Dawn of Destiny (Time Force) 

 45. Dark Specter's Revenge Part 1 & 2 (In Space) 

 Dark Specter wants Astronema back and sends an asteroid. Zhane arrives with the Mega Winger to save the day. Astronema sneaks aboard the Dark Fortress but has been brainwashed to be evil again, this is discovered when Zhane and Andros sneak aboard. We get the timeless moment when Andros finds out Zhane has feelings for his sister.

44. Force from the Future Part 1 & 2 (Time Force)

43. The Power of Gold (Zeo)

42. Good as Gold (Zeo)

Jason's send off as the Gold Ranger, his powers are depleting and he must return them to Trey. The episode serves as a improper season finale to Zeo as the Rangers become big to fight Mondo and Zedd blows the Machine Empire up. I remember loosing my mind in seeing the Zeo Rangers going giant. I was like... 'Finally!'

41. Danger and Destiny (RPM)

40. Quantum's Secrets (Time Force)

39. Rescue Mission (Lost Galaxy)

Arguably a really good episode, this episode takes a detour from the usual Monster of the Day and sets up a moody dark episode where the GSA soldiers check out a ghost ship. Also they get the Galaxy Book.

38. A Zeo Beginning Parts 1 & 2 (Zeo)

After the Command Center blows up and seems to have no sign of Zordon and Alpha, the Zeo Crystal magically brings it back. Alpha teases us in thinking Zordon is dead, colors change and the brand spanking Power Chamber serves as the new headquarters and a museum of the past.

37. Journey's End Part 1, 2 & 3 (Lost Galaxy)

Amazing special effects, especially with the Terra Venture breaking apart and the battles with the Centaurus and Stratoforce Megazords. What fans like most is when Trakeena has become 'green.' Also Kendrix comes back... just cause!

36. Escape the Lost Galaxy

Mike as the Magna Defender gets a proper sendoff in showing what a great hero and leader he can be by saving slaves from Captain Mutiny. Not only do Terra Venture escape the Lost Galaxy but we even Mike in a tanktop unconscious in space which still bugs me but we are talking about a series where there is giant robots, sentient animals that become robots and a giant dinosaur in space.

Tomorrow check out 35 - number ONE!

65-51 Lavender Ranger's Top 100 Power Rangers Episodes

Continuing with the top 100, these were accumulated by two questionnaires and various polls on here Henshin Grid and my own opinions. You know that not everyone will agree with all of these or the order.

100-80: http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2013/07/100-80-lavender-rangers-top-100-power.html
66-79: http://henshingrid.blogspot.com/2013/07/79-66-lavender-rangers-top-100-episodes.html

 65. Trial By Fire (PRLR)  
Captain Mitchell teaches Carter a lesson, one that he probably had to learn more times over as the Rangers continued shooting before thinking all season long. 

64. Perspective (SPD) 
You can say everyone has an opinion or has their own view on things, in this episode the 5 Rangers tell their own story on what occurred... usually with them in the spotlight. But then they discover the truth... that a ball of light helped them. Even though footage is repeated over and over again, it is a pretty funny episode.

63. Facing the Past (PRLG) 
 I accidentally had this episode marked as a PRLR episode but it is from PRLG, I hope people didn't confuse it with "A Face from the Past." The Rangers need help and Karone, being the new member but also has inside info on powers and such, helps Leo get a new power that leads to the Battlizer. She must face her past and that means evil Astronema.

62. From Deep in the Shadows (PRLR)
 The fabulous Titanium Ranger debuts. I am still confused as to why the morpher didn't work with Carter and did with Ryan but it doesn't matter.

 61. The Mighty Mega Battles (PRLR) 
 Silly name, great episode. In revealing new battlizers (a pizza cutter and ice cannon) but pretty entertaining with the Joel/Jennifer love triangle. Joel gets jealous of a new scientist guy (the actor was a body builder and personal trainer) but it turns out he is Fairweather's brother. We also see a stereotypical nerdy Joel.

60. Katastrophe (SPD)
 Kat gets her own episode where she becomes a Ranger. It is a fun and entertaining episode, even though they say her morpher only last for 1 hour or something like that. Fans consider it a disposable morpher. In Dekaranger, her counterpart appeared for 2 episodes and in Gokaiger, for much longer.

 59. Beginnings Part 1 & 2 (SPD) 
These two episodes well establish the world of SPD and the characters, especially Jack and Sky. It has some iffy moments but more or less entertaining beginning.

58. Wormhole (SPD) 
This episode was accidentally shown early in Canada and aired in the US later on and was also a bonus episode in certain SPD DVD volumes. Even though Dr. Tommy Oliver is in this episode, he is not voice by Jason David Frank but Jeffrey P. (Trent). Many people have criticized that the Rangers made a circle and said nothing would break though but in mere sections, it dissolves. My co-webmaster Mike said both this episode and History never occurred because their memories were wiped but I think Doggie and Kat's memories were not.

 57. History (SPD)
The Dino Rangers are brought to the future and discover various things about themselves but ultimately their memories are wiped but ours aren't.

56. Passing the Torch Part 1 & 2 (Turbo)

Trade in four for another four. Carlos and Ashley were introduced before, so here we get to know Cassie and TJ and they help out Kat and Tommy. In the end, we see the old Alpha 5, Zordon, Dimitria and Alpha 6 all together. And is Justin chopped liver? I don't think so.

55. Endings Part 1 & 2 (SPD)
The A-Squad show their true colors and get taken down. Jack leaves the team. Nova gets a brief cameo and takes Sam back with her. We see a Disney-only Megazord battle and a showdown between Grumm and Doggie. In the end, Sky finally becomes the Red Ranger.

54. Legacy of Power (PRDT) 
 Bascially a clipshow but it ties in the past as canon to Dino Thunder.

 
53. Back in Black (PRDT)
Tommy is back and he might be 'old' but he proves he is still a pretty entertaining dude.

52. Reinforcements from the Future Part 1 & 2 (PRWF)

Teamups rank pretty high in this countdown. Not only do we get the Time Force Rangers back but Ransik's past is tied with the Mutorgs, we get a badass battle sequence with Jen and potential love with Taylor and Eric. Plus, Ransik gets cured of his Toxie face.

 51. Chase into Space Part 1 & 2 (Turbo)

 This episode also bounced around in the countdown, from the 30's to 80's and then firmly in the 50's. This was the transition episode from Turbo and In Space and what I consider the first real finale that felt like finale. The Rangers lose their Turbo powers and the Power Chamber and abandon Justin, who finally lives with his dad and his deadbeat dad gets a job. Also thank god NASADA doesn't exist in the real world, letting the 'Power Rangers' take their shuttle with no appointment by the word of a little kid and not even checking if they were four teenage jokers.

79-66 Lavender Ranger's Top 100 Power Rangers Episodes

 UPDATED 7/13/13 9AM EST
These were accumulated by two questionnaires and various polls on here Henshin Grid and my own opinions. Not everyone will agree with these, I know. This is inspired by IGN's Top 25 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes.

Check out 100-80

 

79. Burning at Both Ends (PRDT)
 Not mentioned a lot but one of my favorite episodes of Dino Thunders, it has a great balance of comedy and drama, also changing Power Rangers conventions. Trent, now completely overwhelmed by the evil influence of his Dino Gem, joins forces with Mesogog. After tricking the Rangers into believing he has reformed, he presents them with brand new Dino ATV's as a gift of goodwill, but Tommy discovers his trick.

78. A Matter of Trust (PRLR)

77. Pizza Slice of Life (Jungle Fury)

76. Party Monsters (Samurai)

 75. Bad to the Bone (Jungle Fury) 
 In a underrated episode, Lily changes from sweet good girl to a 'bad girl' because of a monster but she kicks butt in this episode and also includes the RJ-werewolf.

74. The Lone Wolf (PRWF)

73. Shift into Turbo Parts 1, 2 & 3

 72. The Thunder Strangers Part 1, 2 & 3 (Ninja Storm)
 The Thunder Rangers reveal themselves and their zords and cycles that they stole info from Cam's Tsunami Cycles. They have teamed with Lothor and think Sensei is responsible for their adoptive parents' death but in reality, it was Lothor.

71. Prelude to a Storm (Ninja Storm)

70. Ryan's Destiny (Lightspeed Rescue) 
 On a mission to discover who he is, the awesome Titanium Ranger leaves the team but then discovers who he really is... is a hero.

69. Destined for Greatness (Lost Galaxy)

68. Robo Knight (Megaforce)

67. Mega Mission (Megaforce)
 There is only two Megaforce episodes in this list since only 9 episodes has aired at this time. I am sure some more would be cherished by fans soon enough. Even though some fans criticize the use of some "Day of the Dumpster" dialogue and situations, the episode does a good job of establishing the characters and the writing for the season.

66. A-Bridged (SPD)

100-80 Lavender Ranger's Top 100 Power Rangers Episodes

These were accumulated by two questionnaires and various polls on here Henshin Grid and my own opinions. Not everyone will agree with these, I know. This is inspired by IGN's Top 25 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes.

IGN article: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/03/top-25-mighty-morphin-power-rangers-episodes

100. A Father's Footsteps (Wild Force) 
 Alyssa hides her ranger identity from her dad, he wants to be proud of her but is found dissapointed of her until he sees the White Ranger using his family moves and then is happy for her. This episode jumped from 100 to the 80s and 90s until it stayed back in 100.

99. Down and Dirty (Ninja Storm)

98. Stranger Within Part 1 & 2 (Mystic Force)

97. A Gem of a day (Ninja Storm)

96. Out of Luck (Operation Overdrive)

 95. Light Source (Mystic Force) 

I accidently left this episode out of the list in the polls but it was in the second questionnaire. It was selected it from the first questionnaire as one of the top episodes. Even when it premieres a battlizer, which usually is not considered a quality episode and it has some decent original battles.

 94. Things Not Said (Operation Overdrive) 

I might not like Operation overdrive but I personally believe this is one of the best episodes, aside from Once A Ranger. It might not been a surprise for older fans or those that got spoiled, the episode was handled very well. Mac's dad was acting suspicious all season and especially in “Out of Luck,” but it could had been anything. The whole robot thing can be taken as a metaphor for adoption. When a child believes their parents are their birth parents and then discover what they thought was there life was a lie. Also Mac's attitude change was also delightful.

 

93. Forest for the Trees (Samurai)

92. Sticks and Stones (Samurai)

91. To Earn Your Stripes (Jungle Fury) 

90. Welcome to the Jungle (Jungle Fury)

A pretty good start to Jungle Fury. Unlike Ninja Storm, we actually see the main three in the fabled temple for longer than just one scene and get back story on Dai Shi. Not only that their first mentor dies and we get a hilarious scene of mistaken identity when they look for their new mentor. Jarrod releasing Dai Shi was a little convoluted for my taste but it set the tone of its humor and writing.

 

89. Legendary Catastros (Mystic Force)

88. Lionheart (PRWF) 

87. The Strange Case of the Munchies (Super Samurai)

This episode is a fan favorite because it is where fans consider the majority of both seasons of Samurai as a copy-and-paste translation of Shinkenger and this episode deviates from this. Emily gets a bad-girl makeover and lots of character development while the others get comedic moments. Jayden is also proven to be driven by his duty. Bulk and Skull finally meld in more with the cast, which fans wish there was more of.

 

86. Curse of the Wolf (PRWF)

85. Gate Keeper (Mystic Force)

84. Fight Fire with Fire (Super Samurai) 

 83. Clash of the Red Rangers (Samurai) 

This is technically a TV special and hasn't ever aired split into two episodes. It aired before Super Samurai started and fans were confused in its placement in continuity. Also the confusion over RPM being in another dimension, if the Scott we see here is from another reality that we know from. Even though the ideal was that the whole RPM cast would had been involved, at least they had Eka Derville (who has confirmed he performed under a psudeyom). I think it was a good use of the Shinkenger movie, Sginkenger vs Go-Onger and a random episode.

 

82. Return of Thunder Part 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Ninja Storm)

 

81. Clash of the Megazords (Turbo)

This episode moved a lot from 50 to 63 to 90 and then to 85.The Phantom Ranger is dying, as his ruby powers the Turbo Megazord, which Divatox had repaired and sent to Earth to destroy the Rangers.

80. Double-Edged Blake (Ninja Storm)
