Episode 191- The Scent of a Weasel

[queenriley]

Let me start off by saying most of this episode was incredibly boring to me. I don't like fashion. I don't UNDERSTAND fashion... as in it literally makes no sense to me no matter how hard I try. For me, clothes are meant to keep you warm and they HAVE to be comfortable. If it's not comfortable, it's not worth it. And very little clothing is

I loved this ep during my rewatch. Pretty rangers! Skull getting to do things! New (if pointless) Zord! I pretty much sat there all :DDDDD

(Also, re: fashion. It's a status thing. It exists to prove that you have the time, money, and comfort to waste on not only doing something so unimportant, but on doing it right.

For instance: pale skin was in fashion during Elizabethan times, because the people who could least afford not to work worked outside. Then the working class were all shunted indoors with the assembly lines and customer service jobs, so now to prove that you had the means to spend your time idly, you had to get tan and look like you'd been lounging outdoors, where the proles don't get to go.

Now apply that philosophy to EVERY ASPECT OF APPEARANCE. That is fashion. It's pointless by design.)

Pretty much. I really can't tell a $100 pair of jeans from a $20 pair.

Not everybody is into fashion to show people how rich and obnoxious they are. (And not everybody into fashion is rich.) Just sayin.

I don't care if other people don't like/aren't into it, but I don't hate on other people's interests that I don't get. =(

I think you may be confusing fashion (and I was especially talking about High Fashion, and exclusively the creators of it - not the consumers) with what I would just call having a sense of style.

Also, I can acknowledge that fashion is about Looking Not Poor (even more than it's about Looking Rich) and still take a look at what's coming down a runway and go OMG SO PRETTY. WHY CAN'T MENSWEAR DO THAT? D: Impressive feats of gorgeous clothes are still impressive and gorgeous, but that doesn't change the history of the form.

I was just pointing out that QR's failure to understand fashion from a utilitarian standpoint was not in any way a failure on her part. Frankly, the Fashion World would be happy to know she doesn't get it, because that means they're doing what they want to do.

Why the "billy's alien fetish" tag?

You know, in Ohranger, the Gold Ranger was the king of the other Rangers.

I find the idea of making people stink more of a "evil is stupid" behavior. Spaceballs taught us good is dumb, but really, taking over the world by making people stink?

Please review the comment guidelines - we've asked that people refrain from posting spoilers for the sentai, since we intend to recap it eventually and haven't seen it yet.

[sunkanunpa]

It's a minor spoiler. Actually, the title gives it away.

[second_batgirl]

All sentai discussion is off limits, because we consider them spoilers. Neither of us was aware of that spoiler. Please abide by the comment policy.

I love the Rocky was a model but what was with his pants..

Jason looked hot as well but his pants...

and you're right Narvy is a great actor

[second_batgirl]

Seriously, the clothes are just.... Oh, 90s. IDEK.

Narvy is the best. Without him this episode would have fallen apart.

[pairatime]

I think it did even with him but he did make it better

[prgirlsrock]

This was all Skull/Narvy! This really showed the talent he is,plus it was just majorly cute seeing Skull get the girl.

I do think the Jason/Emily part was cute as well and Jason looked good in red once again.

[second_batgirl]

I just don't buy Jason/Emily on some level? Maybe if we'd had more of her, instead of her just simply being there.

But yes, Jason in red!

and even got the smell off her by bathing her in lots of tomato juice.

Joel: "Oh, wooooooooow...."
