Linear Ranger's Thoughts

Okay, before I get to my review of this awesome episode, let me address a key issue here.  If there is ANYONE reading this that has ANY connections to those at the Programming & Advertising Department of Toon Disney, please tell them to STOP THE CRAWLER.  I'm sorry but running a crawler all during every single episode on Toon Disney is ridiculous, annoying & very frustrating.  I'm sure the adults in charge wouldn't want an advertising crawler running all during their favorite primetime shows, so why do they think kids want it on during theirs?  I know if I was 8 years old again, I'd be sick of it.  If we have to put up with this crawler 24/7 through the end of August, I'm going to pull my hair out.  This is non-sense and it has to stop.

Okay, I'm better now, at least for a week, and we'll move on.  This episode was great.  The acting my David De Laotour & Sarah Thomson were outstanding.  The scenes with Fran showing concern were very well done and RJ's fearing he'll distract the Rangers was very good.  Nice to see the final Overlord show up and take over.  RJ's morph was great, as was the battle with the Rinshi & Monkeywi.  Good ending to the show as well with the Husky and then Dai Shi realizing he can tap into the power of Zocato.  A really good episode to introduce a new Ranger.  And now we're half way through the season.
