Power Rangers Dino Supercharge - Nightmare on Amber Beach - Episode Review




 Episode Summary:
Riley asks Shelby how her accounting test went after she came out of college. She says her dad won't be happy with a B and he comes in to the diner. He says Watkins ice cream is the family business. Shelby reassures her dad, telling him he will re-take the test. He wants to quiz her and he leaves, she sighs. Heckyl tells her she looks exhausted. She says she will rest when she gets her A. He says in a sotto voice that she is sleep sooner than that. At the ship, Heckyl wakes up a monster called Nightmare. Heckyl then gives Shelby a pillow as a gift claiming it is from her father. She sleeps on the pillow. A pink dust enters her and she awakes to see Viviks. She attacks her friends believing they are Viviks. 

She breaks he pillow and the pink dust becomes Nightmare the monster, saying to see her in her dreams. Kendall tells them to go to the base where they examine her. There is no signs. Kendall analyzing the pillow, tells everyone not to sleep. They try to keep themselves awake with activities and studying. Chase and Koda play video games. Ivan and Riley sword fight and almost fall asleep. Kendall says until the pillow is destroyed, the spell will not break. It is time to open the cafe and they are still sleeping. At Sledge's ship, Nightmare tells Heckyl the Rangers aren't sleeping. Fury goes to 'wear' them out. 

Shelby's dad comes to her and sees she is studying about dinosaurs, saying she isn't a little girl anymore and business is the future. Shelby says its boring. (I said the same to my dad back in college) He tries to un-bore her in the kitchen, going over hamburger prices and shows her a sparklers burger with fries. He says he made $4 profit. Get some boring and make it fun with profit. The Rangers get called and they run out. Chase can't find Ivan. The Rangers fight Viviks. Viviks aren't easy to knock out, the rangers are tired. Ivan arrives and takes some out but attacks the Rangers. He falls down the steps. They figure he is sleeping, the purple dust comes out of his mind.

Outside the museum, they carry the Gold Ranger. Koda finds a pillow and breaks it. Riley and Shelby run to her test and bump into her dad. She asks if business won't make me happy. He reassures her. She leaves. He sees a little girl saying she wants to study dinosaurs, the dad reassures her. Shelby asks Riley if he thinks she will be good at running ice cream. He tells her he didn't want to be a cowboy at the farm while everyone wanted it and asks her what she wants. The bell rings and she goes without answering. Curio puts a pillow in Riley's helmet. (Irresponsible!) Riley falls asleep before hoping on his bike. 

Heckyl puts pillows on the other Rangers and they take naps. He takes their energems. Shelby walks in and see their energems and grabs them. Heckyl holds the pillow and walks towards her. Shelby thinks back to Heckyl with the package and pillows and figures she works for Snide and blasts a pillow, making them all awake. She tells them Heckyl is not their friend. Heckyl says they are all friends. Shelby has figured out it is a ploy. Kendall asks i he works for Snide. His tattoo glow and he becomes Snide. The Rangers point their morpher guns at them. Snide threatens them and leaves. Snide mentions not knowing where the base is.


Riley is about to give Fury his Energem when the Rangers stop him and Fury knock him on a container. The pillow is destroyed and Nightmare comes out. The Rangers morph and fight Nightmare and Curio. Nightmare becomes huge and the zords are called. They become Dino Super Drive mode and Pink gets the saber as well as Red. Plesio Charge and Ptera Charge Megazords are formed as well as Stego-Raptor formation. The three Megazords fight. (Red in Plesio, not Purple) The main megazord floats up, Pink does the final attack and they do the final strike to the monster. Shelby passionately discusses fossils at the museum to guests. Her dad has heard it. He tells her that business was his dream, not her dream, Dinosaurs is her passion. She got one last favor--a dinosaur ice cream cake for them all. 

Episode Review:
This felt like a Samurai episode, with the chatty voiceovers and the evil plot not going anywhere. At least the Shelby plot is moving but kind of boring. I did like that Heckyl got revealed and not too later on.  Keeper has no lines but appears at the end of the episode. I do like that Pink Ranger got the final strike in Dino Super Drive.

Henshin Grid Slow Down

Hi the electricity (not internet either) went out last week and it should be back in a few days. Also I am starting school (some college classes) and I work so I know I will be too busy. I already stop posting the pictures of Sentai and Kamen Rider every weekend. I might still do the PRDSC episode reviews but not sure. This will continue until June or so (hopefully I will be back at full force in the summer). So I am not retiring but things will slow down here even more than before. This has happened before in my 16 years of doing websites and blogs.


Power Rangers Dino Charge - Forgive and Forget - Episode Review

 Summary:
Heckyl is at the restaurant and making bad luck for people. Burt, a old rival of Riley makes fun of him and causes Riley to touch his Energem and tells him he will go against him in arm wrestling. The energem glows and Riley beats him, Kendall berates him. Heckyl's tattoo glows and he holds it and tells Chase that a girl is out there for him. He becomes Snide and he goes out of the kitchen. Wrench takes out of the venom of Stingrage to change it so the Rangers forget who they are. Snide says they will change the plan. At the base, Kendall is going to create a new mode for their Megazords---Dino Supercharge. Outside, Riley and Burt prepare to go in an obstacle course against each other. Riley uses the Energem. Riley falls and Heckyl helps him up. Riley doesn't understand why Burt is a jerk.

Heckyl convinces Riley to join a marathon. Sting Rage arrives and throws stings at them. Riley puts Heckyl behind a wall, he fights with Snide about the new plan, saying it might work. Riley fights Sting Rage. Heckyl takes a hit for Riley. Red, Black, Pink, Blue, and Gold arrive to fight Sting Rage and Tyler and Shelby de-morph. Tyler takes the stinger out of Heckyl and Heckyl forgets who he is, supposedly. The Rangers are about to take him into the base, Kendall is against it, they say he knows who they are and he forgot his memory. Kendall shows them the two stings, with new venoms. They give Heckyl an antidote, he says he knows they are Rangers and Shelby tells them not to tell anyone about the base. Heckyl looks at the Energems.

At the ship, Heckyl explains himself to Snide who thinks he should have gotten the Energems. He tells them that when they lose their memories, he can do it. Fury and Sting Rage dump venom into the lake. At the marathon, the infected water is put in the drinking after. Heckyl tries giving water to Riley but he rejects it for his sports drink. Riley says he will win the game fair and square without the gem. Riley goes past Burt. Burt takes a drink and forgets who he is. Tyler, Chase and Koda show off their abs in support of Riley. The Rangers forget their memories too as they drank the water, Riley tells Kendall. Heckyl takes Koda's Energem. Riley takes all the Energems to the base. Kendall gives Riley the antidote, telling him to not give them the Energems yet. Kendall sprays the antidote with the Plesio Charge Megazord. The Rangers' memories come back thanks to Riley, who gives them the gems back.

Burt runs from his friends and Riley sprays him. Their friends tell Burt that he helped him. Burt defends Riley to another guy who wants to drink the water. Heckyl enters the empty base and the Energems are gone. He turns back into Snide and calls Heckyl a fool. Purple sees they are putting more venom in the dam. She sends Tyler. The Rangers fight the monsters. The five blast Sting Rage. Gold and fury fight. Red puts Armor X on and blasts back. He does a spiral attack on Sting Rage. The Rangers do final strike on him. Magna Beam makes him large as he enters the dam. The Rnager ssummon T-Rex, Raptor and Para making Para-Raptor Formation and activate Dino Super Drive mode. It gets a new sequence and the saber appears. They have no mouthplates and new accents on the helmets and spikes. 

They fight Sting Rage. They do the final strike with his saber, putting all the chargers in it. They destroy Sting Rage. Fury has Curio fill drinks and he puts the memory venom in it. Heckyl makes a toast with the jailed monsters, saying Snide failed to capture the Rangers but he managed to get the base. Together they will storm the base but he drinks the venom and forgets. Heckyl goes to take a nap. Only Burt and Riley are running in the marathon, they are the last. Burt wants him to cross and wants the slowest rate. They cross together. 

Review:
Heckyl is a delight and Snide is kind of boring, just a grumpy voice guy. But Heckyl calling himself Heckyl to the Rangers is stupid, he should had had an alias. Or maybe he doesn't really care. Also, the Rangers letting Heckyl in the base was also idotic. I wish more people were on Kendall's side. Or even Keeper show up, where the heck is he? (Pun intended). Heckyl entering the base and his intentions are deliciously smart but the execution is questionable. Heckyl has only know the gang for a few episodes and he already knows how to manipulate them. Also, I wonder if we will ever find out how Heckyl and Snide became one as it seems they are too separate entities and not the same guy.
