Episode 153 - Sowing the Seeds of Evil

[second_batgirl]

How did I get the Tommy episode? Whatever, we're still in stereotype land.

The plot.

IN ANGEL GROVE: Billy builds Cestro a shower. Tengas show up and destroy the shower. Billy fights unmorphed and is really pretty. Cestro tells Billy about the Hydro Hog, the Emperor of the Dark Water. Zedd and Rita decide to bring the Hydro Hog to Earth. Billy

See, I actually like the idea of Kat's quest, with the sneaky (for PR) twist on what she's actually supposed to do. There are many problems with it, of course, the two major ones being A.) it makes no sense in context with the other quests, and B.) it's so not appropriate for Kat. The idea is that only a person willing to give up the crystal to help someone is worthy of said crystal, which I really like, but this is kinda Kat's strength and of course she's going to pass the test, and why is Kat getting this test.

Don't mind me. I think the quests would have been so much epically better if they'd left out all the Ridiculous Stereotypes of the Ancient History Kind and had them each face/defeat their weaknesses. I wanted this even more when I realized that they kinda did indirectly do it with Tommy because he doesn't trust himself and his judgment after the Evil Green Ranger stuff, so he's presented with a situation where he has to. And if they'd explicitly done this with all of them it could have been not only awesome but also some really epic character development. They could even keep the awful ~historical~ settings if they absolutely had to.

I also watch too much Saw.

(ETA because I wasn't finished, turns out.)

I really wish it had been an each of them must defeat their weaknesses thing. That is pretty much my favorite thing ever. Well, one of my favorite things ever, anyway.
