--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope you all enjoy these four episodes because its going to be a while till we get the last four episodes of Power Rangers RPM. The last episodes will be aired in December. Even worse, we are not getting a new season on Power Rangers after this. Disney has plans to remaster the original "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" and show that for the following year. Considering that there was another "Super Sentai" series after the one RPM is based off of, I am very disappointed at Disney. Oh well, you take what you can get. For now, enjoy! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power Rangers RPM - Episode 25 - "Key to the Past"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are in the final stretch! There are only eight more episodes of Power Rangers RPM left and if we don receive any news on a possible new show for next year then we might be looking at the last episodes of Power Rangers, FOREVER! Well for now, let's enjoy what we have. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After another two weeks of hiatus, Disney finally aired another episode of Power Rangers RPM. We have another new episode, next Saturday. After that we have two more weeks of hiatus and I hope that Disney will go back to more regular showings. For now, enjoy the show.
Once again I'm bringing to you another new episode of Power Rangers RPM. We are now at episode 17. Firstly, sorry about the low quality of the video but it's still watchable. Secondly, the three videos are direct from the "ABC Kids" showing so expect to see the little in between "ABC Kids" ads.One more episode left in the group written by Eddie Guzelian sadly we wont see the next episode until next month. For now, enjoy!

-- After Episode Thoughts --
- The Sawbot was actually one of the few "monsters of the day" that I would like to have seen used for at least 2 episodes. It was one of those MOTD that had potential.
- Gem and Gemma are crazy... psychopathic even. The fact that they wanted to blow up the Venjix factory EVEN with the human workers inside adds a deranged flavor to the two.
- I LOVE all the throwbacks to earlier episodes. Doctor K reminding Dillon of the last adventure he had outside the dome, which ended up being a Venjix plot. Ziggy talking to Dillon about "change", bringing things back to full circle. Be sure to watch episode 1 (The Road to Corinth) for more on that last bit. Tanaya-7 whistling, Ziggy's shadow puppets and Flynn making another smoothie were all great throwbacks.
- I love how Scott is starting to get tired of his team disobeying his orders. Seriously, Scott needs to gain a bit more control of things but, I think he understands that, when it matters the most, everyone knows who is boss.
- I love Doctor K's little smirk at the end or reading Gem and Gemma's note about their "super secret mission". It shows how much she cares for the two as her best friends.
- Overall there were a few moments where I felt like the pace of the episode was a bit jumpy but the "doomsday device" cliffhanger at the end was great. Now to sit back and wait for next month.
Here is episode 16 of "Power Rangers RPM". Right now we are at the halfway point of the show. The next two episodes are the last produced by Eddie Guzelian. The remainder (19 - 32) will be produced by Judd Lynn. Hopefully 19 to 32 will be as good as Eddie's episodes.

I decided to start adding "after episode" commentary to the RPM posts so, here goes...
First off I love how the team dynamic just changed because of the introduction of Gem and Gemma. They were the only ones who were ever able to get Doc K to open up so, one would expect for them to get her to lighten up again. I also like how Ziggy keeps trying to explain to K her age difference and the fact that her self proclamation as team mentor is odd. Speaking of Ziggy, I predicted it earlier and this episode proves it even further: K is crushin' on Ziggy. I think it's totally cute and they make a good couple, even if the two don't exactly understand that. Serious girl with goofy guy, the two adds balance to each other.
The plan created by Venjix to destroy the city in this episode was sheer greatness! It was not one of those "I want to rule the world, send down a monster" type of plans that has crowded the Power Rangers universe for almost 17 years. In comparison to everything else in Power Rangers it was original. To long time fans, that one episode of Lost Galaxy where Terra Venture was losing oxygen does not count. The oxygen loss was not a part of the plan but only a after effect of the force field created by the "monster of the day"
Gem and Gemmma need to learn how to take orders! I understand that the two are new and are used to doing their own thing but seriously, once you join the main ranger unit, there are rules, protocols, and even traditions to follow. Speaking of characters, I'm glad to see that Corporal Hicks had some more serious lines (not the usual goofiness.) It's also nice to see the interaction between Scott (Ranger Red) and his father Colonel Mason Truman. I think Truman might be slowly realizing that being defensive has to be balanced with some offensive action.
Ziggy's plan to leave the city using Station 19 was brilliant, especially with Flynn's input on changing the dome's time setting. Once again we get a good use of the Ranger's individual powers. The zord fight was pretty OK but, did its job at serving as a toy commercial. We were able to see Gold and Silver's zords in action. Its nice to see that Summer is the unofficial second in command of the team. I have always been font of the idea of a female second in command (Taylor, Yellow Wild Force Ranger being one and one can assume that Tori, Blue Ninja Storm Ranger is one). The end of the show with Doctor K's "positive reinforcement" was also a joy to watch, especially the ending when K could not finish her line to Ziggy. It was pure greatness! Overall, for being the halfway point, this was a good episode.
After 2 weeks of repeats, Disney is back on track with brand new episodes of "Power Rangers RPM". Here is episode 14, "Embodied". Quick note, something cool happens before the end...
As I promised, here is "Power Rangers RPM" episode 13, "Brothers Keeper" I just checked the schedueling for future episodes and we're due in for two weeks of repeats. Here's what to look forward to for the next few weeks...
(May 30 and June 6 - reruns) ep 14 - Sat Jun 13 - 12:30 - Embodied ep 15 - Sat Jun 20 - 12:30 - Ghosts (June 27 - reruns) ep 16 - Sat Jul 4 - 12:30 - In or Out
Kinda sucks how we're getting a repeat on my birthday (June 27) but I guess It allows me to focus on my B-day...then again I don't think anything special is happening that day. OK, enough ranting, here is the episode
