The other Rangers get caught in traffic, and thus are delayed in coming to help Devon as he’s trapped in the bizarre pocket dimension. He has to be selfish about wanting to see the games, and then apologize for it at the end. Ravi was a massive dick in this episode. I mean, I get it. They used the heck out of those zord and Gigadrone suits. I suspect I’m biased toward it because of the lack of CGI sequences. The zord action in this episode was a step up from what we usually see. Also, the commentator borrows several catchphrases Jim Ross or Michael Cole have been known to use on WWE programming, including… We see a Powerbomb and other wrestling moves used in this episode. I suspect there are some folks behind the scenes at Power Rangers who are wrestling fans. Wait…the Rangers themselves have to check the various Morph-X towers in Coral Harbor? Again, I find myself asking: Doesn’t Grid Battleforce have workers that can do that sort of thing? Which of course, thanks to COVID-19, didn’t happen. Speaking of the Olympics, I assume this episode was scheduled to coincide with the the 2020 Summer Olympics. As a long time fan, that attention to detail is really cool to see. And yet here we are talking about them more than 25 years later in season 27. From a writing standpoint, the games were simply used as a way to write Kimberly off the show way back in season three. I can’t even tell you how big a kick I get out of this episode being centered around the Pan Global Games, in essence the PR universe equivalent to the Olympics. New around here? Check out the Power Rangers review archive! SYNOPSIS: Devon and the Red Racer Zord are forced to run a Gigarone gauntlet. WRITERS: Becca Barnes, Alwyn Dale, Cameron Dixon, Maiya Thompson, James Collins Travis, Jazz Baduwalia, Jacqueline Scislowski, Abraham Rodriguez, Jamie Linehan (Voice) Here’s where I attempt to fix that, as I check out episodes of Power Rangers Beast Morphers !*** ***As big a Power Rangers fan as I am, I must admit: I’m a little behind on modern PR.
