Kim freaks out because it belongs to her grandmother and it's an antique. Uh... then why did you bring it to school to be used as a prop, Kim???
Probably the same reason I wore a $100 replica baseball jersey on a school field trip in which we ended up doing a bunch of physical activity: to show off. ;) Yeah, I got the thing all sweaty... but I sure looked cool. :P
Kimberly could probably pass for an air-headed Valley girl to explain the sudden not-making-the-Rita-connection... if only the other rangers weren't the same way. Maybe they can all pass for air-headed Valley girls?
There goes Tommy feeling up putties. I agree to all of the above about the "flying crotch maneuver". I seem to recall an episode of Kimberly doing the same thing. I suppose if I were a putty, I'd rather be up against Kim than Tommy... maybe they can pass it off as a diving hurricanrana (yay pro wrestling! :D).
I can't imagine it taking them that long to rescue him. There are three putties and a normal rope tying him to the tree. And what's with the normal rope? I swear, that budget.
Then for some reason the putties are concerned with his well-being as he feigns sickness. Am I the only one who thinks that's a dirty trick? I think to the future when the Rangers will attempt to pass fake power coins as real, let Goldar steal a fake Bookala's diamond, and Tommy throwing grass in a putty's face during a fight. We're teaching the children how to fight dirty!
And more standing around while others are in trouble. In zords no less. Way to be a team, gang!
Where are Bulk's parents when this mockery is happening? I'd be suing the school.
Well, I suppose it's better than in super sentai, in which there are some blatant low blows that would make a man cringe... and not just hitting either, straight grabbing. Now I'm gonna be trying to think of more less-than-pure positions the Rangers put minions into...
Aw, look at Jason. Looks like a sad kid at a Burger King birthday party...

Yeah, but I think there is a big difference between a $100 replica jersey and your grandmother's antique irreplaceable family heirloom spinning wheel. I just... I spent the better part of 8 years of my public school time (5-12th grades) in drama. You just do NOT bring anything in for props unless you don't care if it gets broken, torn up, painted, drawn on, lost, stolen, etc etc etc. It's just not done.
Besides, in most school plays, you have WAY more than 8 people hanging around. :P
There are three putties and a normal rope tying him to the tree. And what's with the normal rope?
I KNOW! Really they could have gotten him in under a minute and then gotten Goldar and Scorpina. Or he could have escaped easily. Or he could have not been captured in the first place. I swear, when they tied him up on the bridge, it looked like they used shoelaces. Shoelaces! And he couldn't break free? And why did Rita just leave him there guarded by 3 putties? Seriously? Shouldn't she have put him in the alternate dimension cell? Or killed him? Or tried to turn him evil again? Or something, anything?
Yeah... we had a lot of problems with this episode.

Not a clue, but I'd be going after the school too. It's horrible. And entire auditorium full of adults laughs at my son because he split his pants on stage? No way. That's just not right. I'm surprised not a single one stood up and said something. It was very obvious that was NOT supposed to be part of the play.

I spent a little time in theatre too, and yeah... the only things people ever brought in were, like, old busted vacuums or replaceable framed pictures. I think someone once had a hook-up at a funeral home and let us borrow a casket... but it was locked up whenever it wasn't on stage.

I sometimes think what Power Rangers could have been if a Ranger were killed. I think it could have a second life if it were rebooted with a darker tone. >:) Though that may be the kid-who-caught-hell-for-watching-Power-Rangers-long-after-everyone-else-stopped-and-wants-it-to-be-cool-again-so-he-can-discuss-the-show-outside-the-internet in me talking.
Aw, if we were local, I would totally hang out in person with you to discuss Power Rangers. I get what it's like to want to talk about something to someone not-on-the-internet and not having anybody to talk to... because they all outgrew Power Rangers about 10 years ago (or, in my case, never watched it in the first place because really how many twelve year olds tuned into that first episode??? I think I'm the a rare breed.) I was lucky enough, in high school, to have a friend that watched Power Rangers with me. We had a lot of fun hanging out and talking about it. Alas, we live 1500 miles apart now so no more in-person talking. I have second_batgirl to hang out with when our schedules and budgets permit travel. Mostly it's just online.
I would love to watch a Power Rangers series where a Ranger was killed or at least seriously injured! The darker tones would be awesome. RPM is WAY darker than the rest of them and it is awesome! If they could do a "Power Rangers for Grown Ups" it would awesome. I don't think it would sell real well to the networks though. ;)
Nah, it's too sci-fi and geeky for Syphilis. They wouldn't want to risk the general public perceiving them as geeks in their parents basements or anything. *grumble, grumble*
Actually, that whole thing came about when they announced their name change. People were all confused as to why Sci-Fi was changing it's name to SyFy (which sounds like siffy which makes me think syphilis, hence me calling it that). They explained the name change as a way to "distance themselves from the idea of science fiction being only for geeks who live in their parents' basement and can't get a date". And the entire viewership of the channel went "BZWAH? F-U, Siffy!" I mean, how rude and judgmental is that? Instead of just saying "We think this will appeal to a broader audience" they choose to alienate their main viewers (geeks, the lot of us) by proclaiming us all losers that can't get dates and live in our parents' basements.
I now only tune in to that channel for reruns of Star Trek. I won't watch their other stuff. I have all of Stargate on DVD, and Firefly, and Doctor Who, and anything else they might show that I would like. So I don't watch Syphilis anymore. I'm bitter. :P
