Power Rangers Dino Fury - Crossed Wires - Episode Review

 Episode Summary:

Izzy is holding hands with Fern and is coming out of high school. She calls her "my girlfriend.' She has to retake her electronic test. Fern says she could have helped her. Izzy kisses her cheek and says she's okay. The Rangers arrive and ask about the test. Ollie is his usual pretentious self when they get a call from Solon about Haverely Park. They arrive and find everyone unconscious on the ground. Javi and Izzy's dad arrives and he gets hit by a purple cloud. He yawns and falls asleep. His children come to his aid. Solon calls about a Sporix at the Chemical plant. Red, Blue, and Pink go to the beast while the others check out a sound. A machine blasts a purple beam. Izzy tells Ollie. The Rangers hear a similar whirring sound. Zayto sends Ollie. Ollie nods and opens the machine and it has a blue ball. Ollie thinks he knows and unplugs the cables. The others sigh. Ollie explains Izzy how to shut it down. Izzy is not sure. The monster arrives and the trio morph. Hengemen go after them. 

Izzy and the boys open the machine. Javi says Izzy knows how to do things. Izzy pulls out the blue blob and the system overloads and zaps Aiyon and Javi. They fall asleep. The others wake up but not Javi and AIyon. Izzy teleports them away. Mucus laughs. She takes the machine and teleports away. Red, Blue and Pink keep fighting Hengemen. Stone SNare says hackneyed slang. He is destroyed by the three. Pink gets the Sporix ball. Ollie gets the sleep trap. They teleport back to the base. Javi and AIyon are under beds. Izzy explains what she did. She apologizes. Ollie asks how she could mess up something so simple. She says she is hopeless at electronics. She says she can't put her head around it, everyone expects her to get good grades. Ollie says she should have let him tutor her. Solon asks Ollie for help with the device. Solon thinks Izzy can help. Ollie scoffs. Solon says if books don't help, maybe hands-on will help.

Ollie explains the device to Izzy. He shows the capacitor. Meanwhile, Mucus blabbers on about what happened. He tells her to be quiet. He is working on a Mega Sleep Bomb. There are two more Stone Snares (Stone Sad and Stone Mad), they cry about their brother. Izzy tries the machine and the two Rangers wake up. Sporix Beasts have the big machine and the Rangers arrive. Hengemen are called. Ollie is to disable the bomb. Ollie falls asleep when the purple mist comes out. The monsters grow. Izzy puts her jacket on the bomb and it says vision impaired. Rangers morph and call Zords. Izzy tries bypassing the block. The Zords' blasts don't work. The two monsters merge into Stone-Rad. The two Megazords combine into Fusion Ultrazord. Izzy keeps working on the bomb, the bomb says "Nice try." She then tries parallel like Ollie told her. Zayto calls the Saber. The Ultrazord destroys Stone-Rad. Stone-Sad calls out for his brother. Zayto asks Izzy for status. With 12 seconds left, the Rangers teleport to her and she has it offline. Mucus gets two Sporix and teleport away. Aiyon makes a bad joke. Later, the Rangers wait for Izzy. Izzy says the results are tomorrow. Fern shows her the A. Izzy says books are touch for her, she learned that doing things 'hands on' is better. They find Amelia's grandfather who is cleaning leaves. He falls into a bunch of leaves. He has his device doesn't work. Izzy says she will check it out. He happily goes with her to fix it. Fern says "That's my girl."

Episode Review:

Izzy officially calls Fern her 'girlfriend.'  And she kisses her on her cheek. It is not on the lips but it is a step forward. I  love this episode where it shows there are different types of learning. Some learn from reading books and some learn from touching. I am a teacher and there are different types of learning: visual, kiesthetic (tacticle), audiotory, and more. Kinesthetic is hands-on. What is terrible is that now with the Corona Virus, it has been harder for young tacticle learners to be able to touch anything in order to learn. Most episodes on TV about a kid that has trouble on tests don't try other approaches to learning. So I appreciate the effort. I also like that Jane and J-Borg are not in this epsiode and only Amelia's grandfather has the comic relief.

The ice cream man gives Aiyon free Ice Cream for life which he loves except for Javi. Sporix attacks and the Rangers go in a tent to morph. Gold Ranger is interviewed by Jane and asked for selfies.

At BuzzBlast, Jane reads about the party for the Rangers when they overhear. Jane and J-Borg leave. Aiyon thinks it is awesome.Amelia and Javi say they can't go because Void Knight might attack. Ollie says they can go as civilians. At the party, the guests talk. One guest says the Gold Ranger is the coolest and a male guest says "Yeah, I bet he's cute too." The Rangers as civilians arrive. The Monsters are at a tent. Slyther disguises himself as a human. Zayto tells Aiyon to lay low. Slyther has the crowd call the Ranger names. They all look around. Gold Ranger arrives. Zayto facepalms. Slyter asks about the rest of the team. Gold says they are training and asks for selfies. Slyther asks for the zord. They start yelling "Zord." Zayto says he won't. Aiyon calls his zord and the monster captures it with a net. Slyther transforms and blasts Aiyon. Slyther and Trawler leave. The Rangers gather around Aiyon who apologizes. Slyther hypnotizes the zord. Void Knight arrives.

Trawler teleports away. Aiyon puts his gold key in the Zord finder and they locate it. The Rangers warned Aiyon to lay low. Aiyon says he wasn't thinking and he was a fool. Javi says the Invisi Dino Key can help but only one Ranger can use it. Solon tells them about an attack. The Rangers teleport except for Javi and Aiyon. Javi tells AIyon the plan. The Rangers arrive on the beach and morph. Javi and AIyon hide behind trees where the Hengemen guard the Mosa Zord. Javi goes invisible with the Dino Key. Slyther keeps hypnotizing Mosa Zord. Gold makes himself known. Javi takes out the Hengemen. Slyther commands Mosa to attack Gold. Aiyon and Slyther fight. Hengemen are all destroyed. Meanwhile, the Rangers fight Trawler. Javi kicks Slyther back. Solon calls in the Dimetro Blazing Zord. Javi uses the Hover Dino Key and makes Mosa Zord float and DImetro burns the net. Trawler becomes bigger. 

The other zords are sent in. They combine the main four into Dino Fury Megazord Claw Formation. Trawler tries throwing a net but misses. He blasts the Megazord and then gets a net on it. The Megazord can't move. Javi and Aiyon fight Slyther. Aiyon combines Mosa and Dimetro into Electro Zord. It blasts Slyther. Slyther teleports away. Javi and Aiyon go to the zord. Electro Zord blasts the net off the Megazord. Now the Megazord overheats. Javi uses a mist spritz from his dino key arm. Trawler goes underground and Electro Zord sets him on fire. The other two enter the cockpit. Red calls his saber and they destroy Trawler. Gold says he'll get the Sporix and he does. Later, the civilian rangers are at the beach. They go for ice cream and the ice cream man tells AIyon--the hero to go to the front. Aiyon says he'll help. 

Review:
I have not seen the Ryusoulger episode but I think the majority of the kidnapped Mosa Zord scene with Javi and Aiyon is all new footage. 

NFT Megazord Controversy

When I saw the upcoming Black and Gold Megazord, I was like I rather have the regular one but I had no idea what NFT meant. NFT stands for Non-fungible token. The Black & Gold Zord Ascension Project Dino Megazord will be an NFT exclusive from Hasbro. The NFT is a placeholder. The controversy is that NFT is a risky business, it wastes raw computing. First of all, fans don't like that it is black and gold, and second that they need a token. The third is that the NFT is controversial in itself. I had no idea what NFT was, apparently, it has hit other franchises but this is the first time it affects Power Rangers. But since it is exclusive and limited, I am hoping this isn't a big dent to what have you. I still don't understand what raw computing means to be honest.

Gold Ranger arrives at Dinohenge and touches the ancient animal he is based on. The Rangers are practicing inside while Ollie makes a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich. Gold Ranger teleports in and de0morphs to reveal an alien-like Zayto. Aiyon is his name, Solon hugs him. Aiyon greats the new Rangers. He grabs Ollie's food. Zayto says he thought the team was lost. Aiyon tells him he launched the final attack. We get a flashback to the ancient team. He abandoned the Megazord. He was in a pod and slept in the bottom of the ocean. Green Morphin Master woke him up, mentioning Lord Zedd. Aiyon wants to be leader, saying Zayto is not a great leader. He flashbacks again, to them being Knights of Rafkon. News came that they were going to use an army of Sporix Beasts to defeat evil. The Beasts were supposed to fight with them. Aiyon believes Zayto could have stopped it but he did not. Aiyon warned him the Sporix were dangerous. Zayto said he trust the military. The leaders released the Sporix. Aiyon tried to stop it, saying it was a mistake, and fought against Zayto. Sporix were released and they devastated the planet. He says they were no longer friends. Amelia and Izzy are upset.

Solon tells them of an attack. Zato says he owes them answers but they have to stop the beast. The five teleport away along with Aiton. Mucus blasts at them and the six morph. Zayto says he has it and she blasts at him. The blasts hit fish oil. He slips on the oil and falls. He is tied by the spear-like weapons that Mucus threw. The others fall by slipping. Aiyon surfs on wood. Javi and Izzy copies him. They have Mucus where they want her. The other villains arrive, saying the Gold Ranger Zord is underwater, and they teleport away. At the base, Solon helps Zayto. Izzy praises Aiyon. Aiyon says he is not fit to be a leader and he leaves. Zayto and Solon talk, she says owning up to mistakes is difficult. He trusted his superiors. One mark of a good leader is to know where to step aside, only he can make the decision. Void Knight uses Sporix to create Wreckmate, a new general in his base. Wreckmate speaks like a pirate. Void wants the Mosa Zord destroyed. Mucus says she is the second in command and say they have to make a quick stop first. 

The Rangers without Zayto in the Buzz Blast find the Mosa Zord but no location. Solon tells them of trouble at the plaza. The villains are getting supplies for the beach. Mucus wants ice cream but Wreckmate doesn't. He obliges when she makes her scopes. Aiyon blasts it. Mucus keeps throwing ice cream at him. He explodes Mucus. Zayto arrives, saying to help. Aiyonand the others morph. They do the role call. They fight the Hengemen. Zayto and Aiyon don their Battle Armors. They defeat it and it becomes big. They call the Megazord and all six are in the cockpit. They go in the water and the seawater starts shutting down systems. Wreckmate attacks them underwater. Aiton asks how do they win and then asks Zayto. Zayto says to abandon the zords. Wreckmate attacks the Zords. They are knocked down The Rangers teleport out. Aiyon feels bad. Zayto says he had to do it. Aiyon says being a leader is hard because you get judged. He says he got it now. Zayto and AIyon say Friends forever. Aiyon's belt buckle glows. Wreckmate is about to defeat the Megazord when the Mosa Zord arrives. it jumps out of the water. Aiyon calls for Battle Mode. Zayto and Aiyon enter the Megazord and destroy Wreckmate. In the base, the Rangers praise the Mosa Zords. Zayto and Aiyon wrap things up and makeup. Aiyon says Zayto should be the leader and both spar. Ollie says Aiyon's Ranger energy must have sparked. Solon says it must have to do with them being friends. 

Episode Review: 

Aiyon is supposed to be hundreds of years old and from a time even longer than let's say Koda or Ivan from Dino Charge. He speaks like a modern African-American and says "Let's roll," also dresses pretty modern. Zayto had some adjusting to do in the first few episodes--granted not as much as Koda and Ivan--but Aiyon had zero of that. I mean, Power Rangers are not usually known for accuracy. Anyway, Aiyon is the first African-American Sixth Ranger and it is the first show to have two Black-American Rangers on the team. Technically they are aliens. Fans have said they wish Aiyon and Zayto's conflict was more drawn out and not solved in just one episode. Producers have said it wouldn't be 'ranger behavior.' Some fans have argued that Tommy, Eric, and other Rangers have acted similarly. I would have accepted at least two episodes of Aiyon being on his own. Heck, Jayden of Samurai was not leader for a handful of episodes. Zayto could've stayed off the team for a while and have an arc. Oh well, doesn't matter.

Ollie and Javi are ready to be in an interview. Slyther offers a laptop which Ollie wants. Ollie uses logic and math. Javi tells not to count gumballs until after the interview. Ollie and Javi sit and Javi begins the questioning but Ollie seems more preoccupied with the gumballs. Ollie wants a pen. Javi reminds him to continue the interview. Javi asks another question and Ollie says 2046 and "Mr. Wiz" says he is the winner. Javi tells him to hold on a second. Ollie thanks him. Javi says they are not done. Jane stops the video. She talks to Mr. Wiz and not Javi. Javi tells Ollie he screw up the story. Ollie says Jane is happy and with the laptop--quicker answers about the storm. Slyther/Mr. Wiz smiles.

Mucus gets the device. It glows. Someone comes out of it. The two teleport. Dr. Akana says it is incredible. 

Javi uses Hyper Strike but the splash shield knocks them down. Gold Ranger comes into the rescue. Zayto says "Could it be?" Gold Ranger fights Tidemare. Hengemen arrive and Gold fights them. Gold does his Mosa Slash and uses his Electro Key in his blaster. He cocks the weapon and dons armor--Electro Battle Armor and does the Electro Fury Blast. He destroys the Splash Shield. He creates the Gold Fury Blade Blaster by combining his weapons. He defeats Tidemare.  The Rangers de-morph. They ask wh he is. Gold says hi to Zayto. He teleports away. They ask him who he is. Zayto is lost for words. Zayto gets the SPorix from Izzy and teleports away as well. The Rangers are surprised. Ollie calls his mom. They go talk to her. She explains the Gold Ranger came out of the container--which looks like the base one. She says all the power in the pod must have created the storm. Ollie and Javi talk.
