Power Rangers Dino Fury - Unexpected Guest - Episode Review


Episode Summary: 

The Rangers fight a monster with their Megazord. They defeat it but Void Knight, Mucus, and Wolfbane arrive. Wolfbane growls and takes apart the Megazord. The Rangers get out of the zords and a bird bothers them. The bird turns out to be Mick Kanic from Ninja Steel. He is looking for the Nexus Star but Zayto says they don't know him and they are busy. Later, Javi and Amelia are at Buzzblast when Mick disguises as a package. He appears and surprises Javi and Amelia. J-Borg tells Mick to leave and he becomes a basketball. Then they hear an attack and go outside. Wolfbane attacks Mick. 

Mick becomes a toy car ad Wolfbane goes after him. The others arrive. Zayto finds out Void Knight wants the prism now as well. The five morph. They fight with Wolfbane. Green uses Muscle Dino Key and Pink uses Elasto Dino Key. Wolfbane takes apart the Boost Sleeves with his howl. Mick hides. They all teleport him away. Mick shows the Legendary Ranger Database in his base and asks Solon if he can plug it in. He shows them the nexus Prism. It has a direct connection to the Morphin Grid. Zayto says protecting it is their first priority now. Mick says there has to be a way to stop the howl. Zayto tells him Solon can help him, it is not safe for him outside. They find the Prism could be at the Waterfront. The five leave. Mick and Solon work on the howl.

Void Knight berates Wolfbane. Boomtower says he'll do it. The Rangers arrive where the Nexus is and pretty music plays. Zayto tries reading its mind and his antennae comes out. The nexus stops spinning. He sees the Morphin Masters with stones. They used the grid to power teams of Rangers. They made the Prism. Green and Red sent the Prism to fight evil. It found itself on Earth and gave the Ninja Steel Rangers their powers. It vanished. Morphin Masters have been observing teams including Beast Morphers and them. Prism was sent on a new mission, it is searching for something. Boomtower and Wolfbane arrive. The Prism flies into the sea. The Rangers morph and get knocked down. They then fight. 

Mick arrives and gives Wolfbane a 'treat' which makes his voice squeaky, it is a no howl drop. Wolfbane and Boomtower grow. The Rangers call the Zords and Mick leaves. The Rangers form the Megazord Warrior Formation with all 5 zords. They fight Boomtower and use their attacks. Boomtower goes down. Wolfbane jumps on top of the Megazord. It is destroyed. Mucus gets the Sporix. Boomtower powers up and does his signature attack. Megazord jumps up and counterattacks. They use the Mega Fury Saber and the other forms appear and make a Mega Slash. Boomtower is destroyed. Mucus goes for the Sporix but Izzy catches it. She almost gets Mucus but Mucus leaves. The Prism flies away. Mucus gives Void Knight the Sporix. He puts it in a device. It powers up but he needs more. Void Knight is impatient and goes to his secret room. He tells someone inside to forgive him. It is a beautiful woman, giving Mr. Freeze vibes. He calls her his love. Izzy says she is starving. They eat candies. Solon and Mick arrive and ask what happen to the drops. The Rangers have funny animal voices because of the failed drops. Solon roars and they return to normal. Zayto learns a lesson. Mick says he'll open a steakhouse and Izzy asks if Rangers eat for free. He says maybe a discount.

Episode Review:

Zayto dimissing Mick seemed a bit out of character and unneccessary. As for the Morphin Masters creating the Nexus Prism, there is no surprise there, but it strange to add something from a past season with a 'mystery' plot without much else to go on. Also

Power Rangers Dino Fury - Stego Search - Episode Review

 Episode Summary:


Solon prepares the now-ready Zord finder which uses the five keys. Javi is not around and Izzy says he could have a new instrument. Solon says they have to wake up the zord. Javi indeed has the new Keytar he was saving up for. He plays it in the park. People like it. Jane and J-Borg are looking for stories in the park. J-Borg spots the crowd. They go near and record Javi. Jane appluads Javi and says she wish she could. Javi says J-Borg can make music too. J-Borg says she can sing. Javi plays music and J0Vorg vocalizes which the others don't like but Jane does. Jane then raps. The crowd likes her rap. Javi's dad comes and says they are disrupting the birds. His dad takes the Keytar and have people clear out. He sees the price and says Javi should save his money. He says Javi has given up on the other instruments and leaves. Javi says he still uses his whistle.

Javi arrives at the base. The others tell them the bad news that they can't find the Stego Zord. Javi is sad and leaves. Javi says he is fine, even though he doesn't seem fine. He teleports away. Izzy says she'll talk to him and teleports away too. Meanwhile, in Area 62, Boomtower has waited long enough for his power source and takes a Sporix. Mucus warns him. He puts the Sporix in his chest. He powers up and laugh. Izzy finds Javi and talks to him. He is about to tell her when Doomtower arrives with Hengemen and Mucus. They morph and fight. Izzy uses the Sprint key and Havi uses the Shield Kye. Red arrives and uses Hyper key. Pink uses Gravi Key. Blue uses Elasto Key. Doomtower uses his boom blast and de-morphs the main three. Javi blocks it and have Izzy strike him. But he strikes her first and she de-morphs. Javi comes to his step-sister's aid. Zayto tells him to take her to safety.

Void Knight arrives and berates Boomtower. The hengemen fight the Rangers. Javi and Izzy are found by their dad and the dad blames Javi for Izzy being hurt. The others try to comfort him but he goes in the truck. Back at the base, they talk about how Javi is 'salty'--grumpy. Solon finds the viral video and shows how the dad took away Javi's keytar. Javi arrives and says Izzy will be fine. The others tell him about the video. They ask if they can help. Javi says no. Ollie says maybe his music energized Stego Zord. Solon tells Javi to play an instrument. He plays a soft tune on his whistle and Solon detects the zords. The music must amplify his ranger energy. They spot it. They get a call from J-Borg about Boomtower. Javi is sent to find his zord and the trio goes to fight Boomtower.

The Rangers arrive morphed and the ground shakes. Boomtower is huge. He knocks them down. They call the Megazord and fight Boomtower. They lose. Javi calls the zord and it comes out of the ground. Doomtower is about to attack it when Stegozord arrives and hits him with spikes. The Megazord combines with the zord and Javi enters the cockpit. It becomes Dino Fury Megazord Spike Formation. Sun is setting and they fight. They create a shield with their fists and lifts Doomtower to the air. They slam him down. He does another attack and they send spikes toward him. Zayto calls his saber. They do the final attack--Stego Mega Punches to defeat Boomtower. Boomtower explodes. Boomtower arrives to his regular size. Mucus cheers him up. The Rangers run toward him and they teleport away. Javi teleports to Izzy. The trio teleport too. They later all meet at Buzz Blast. Izzy has her arm in a sling. They give him the Keytar as a gift. He thanks them. He apologizes for not telling them about his dad and says he will try to be more open. He plays a tune and everyone comes around to enjoy it. J-Borg is not programed to dance and Jane tells her to loosen up. J0Borg spins around and does it took fast and drills into the ground. She hits a water main and water explodes in their faces. They laugh. 

Episode Review:
This shows that you can have a well-written episode and still have silly comedy like J-Borg, Jane and puns about spikes. It's not the best, but still good. I didn't like last week's episode, it was a bit too soggy and sweet. This one shows Javi's moppy side which I do like. Izzy isn't as annoying as she was last week so all in all, good episode. I would've called the episode "Black sings the blues."

Power Rangers Dino Fury - Superstition Strikes - Episode Review

 Episode Summary:

In  Area 62, Mucus wants to know what is behind Void Knight's door and is electrocuted for it. Meanwhile, the Rangers are called by civilians afraid of a man with suds and equipment on top of him. Amelia washes it off and it is her grandfather who is a window washer. He is superstitious and Ollie is skeptical. Amelia walks under a ladder and her grandpa convinces her she has bad luck now. She goes to change her shirt that got ripped but bumps into a Sporix Beast that busts her morpher. She tries to communicate with Solon but her signal isn't strong. 

The Rangers arrive. Amelia uses a trash can lid to reflect the bad guy laser and hurts Izzy and Javi. Mucus takes AMelia's morpher. Red puts in his T-Rex Key and does T-Rex Fury Strike and seemingly defeats the Sporix. He blasts them back. Mucus takes the beast to Area 62. The Rangers de-morph. Amelia is down on herself about her bad luck. The others try to cheer her up. Zayto talks to Solon to make a new morpher. Amelia is teleported to base. Zayto leaves. Amelia gives Solon a circuit that can not be destroyed. Amelia tells her about her bad luck. Meanwhile, Void Knight is happy with Mucus.

Void Knight will fix the morpher and have Boom Tower enter the base while Smashstone will distract them. The other Rangers help Pop-Pop (Amelia's grandfather). Solon tells Zayto about the hotline. Solon fixed the new morpher but Amelia doesn't want to use it. Solon says luck is in her mind, don't focus on the bad things, the only way to focus on good things is to go out. Amelia still wants to stay far away. Smashstone attacks. The Rangers morph. The Rangers need help. Boomtower enters the base. Amelia grabs her morpher. Solon says he has to go through her to get the Sporix. AMelia morphs and breaks his morpher. Solon says it was lucky. Amelia is energized and fights Boom Tower. They teleport to where the Rangers are with Smashstone. Ollie helps Amelia fight Boomtower. Smashstone grows big and T-Rex is called. 



Zayto and the siblings enter the Megazord and fight Smashstone. He throws back their attack. Doomtower is made fun of by Amelia and he teleports away. Amelia and Ollie call their zords. Hammer Formation is formed. The helmet and chest changes. They enter the cockpit. What they try doesn't work, they then try the hammer. They accidentally hit a pipe, that causes junk to get on Smashstone's arm. Zayto calls the Mega Fury Saber and does the Mega Hammer Slam to destroy the monster. Boomtower goes for the Sporix but Izzy gets it with the Elasto Key. Later, they help Pop-Pop. Javi says it was good luck is what happened. Amelia quotes Solon. Ollie can't believe she agreed with him. He breaks a mirror and a water bucket falls on him. They say he has 7 years of bad luck now and a series of misfortunes happen to him. 

Episode Review:

I'm not sure but I think this is the first time we have two girl episodes back to back. Last week was Izzy and this week is Amelia. It is interesting how Pop-Pop's accent keeps slipping between New Zealand and Brooklyn (?) and the monster Smashstone has a Russian accent. Russian is always used for villains in the U.S. because of the Cold War. This trope was recently criticized by Honest Trailers because of a antagonist in Lilo & Stitch.
