Welcome to Ranger Reviews, a webseries where  we look at episodes of the tv show, Power
  Rangers and then discuss it!
  Today, we're exploring the seventy second  episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as
  well as the twelfth episode of Season 2, titled  "Green No More Part 1".
  We begin this episode on the same note we  left last time on: a somber, pity party for
  Tommy who is outside the Youth Center in the  parking lot apparently shooting some hoops?
  Seems like a liability, but whatever, Kimberly  comes up, and they exposit about how Tommy
  is definitely going to lose his powers.
  Then, horrible lightning occurs, and a flickering  Tommy appears before them who keeps saying
  "I'm you from the future.
  The final battle.
  Remember communicator.
  That's all I can tell you."
  Then it leaves, and Tommy says, "yeah that  was a warning from the future."
  On the moon, Zedd says that the moment is  at hand to delete the Green Ranger.
  Hooray!
  Anyways, at school, Zack and Billy run into  Zack's cousin, Curtis, who is dancing in
  the middle of the hallway and being just as  much of a show off as Zack.
  Watch out, Zack.
  He might just become the Black Ranger if he  keeps being such a stereotype.
  Of course, Curtis and Richie become quick  friends and leave.
  Tommy comes up, and he says that it was weird  what happened before because that guy looked
  just like him.
  Dude, that WAS you, but no worries, here come  trash cans filled with Bulk and Skull who
  roll over.
  They cower at five Ranger teen rip offs who  look like the cast that came in second before
  they skidaddle away.
  Zack asks if they're new around here while  making it apparent that he was going to start
  a fight.
  Tommy says that they'll learn the rules  soon enough as they steal lunch money from
  a 45 year old extra named Stewart.
  This episode is weird.
  Zedd sees those five badasses, and he says  he'll turn them into the Dark Rangers.
  Oh, and Goldar has a crystal that is going  to… siphon out Green Ranger's powers somehow?
  At the Command Center, Tommy finds out from  Zordon and Alpha that his last effort to get
  his powers back did nothing, so he only has  one more fight left.
  Zordon points out that in his vision from  the future, he was unmorphed so, good luck.
  At the beach, everyone else except Trini is  collecting shells.
  Then of course, those five rejects show up  to bully them, knocking Kim's shells out
  of her hands.
  They say that Angel Grove belongs to them  now, and Kim almost laughs in their face.
  Zedd says, "time to get 'em, I guess",  and the five rejects are teleported away to
  the "Other World" moments before they  get into a fist fight with the Ranger teens.
  The Ranger teens are confused, and they hope  Zordon will be able to help.
  At the Other World, which is definitely just  outside a cave, the five rejects stand emotionless
  while Zedd exposits about how his newest monster  will be the one that drains the last of Tommy's
  powers up.
  Of course, he decides on a seashell monster  thanks to Kim, creating the Turbanshell who
  looks like a slug with a thicc ass diaper.
  At the Command Center, everyone except Trini  watches as Turbanshell is attacking the city,
  so they wait for Trini to arrive before Zordon  explains that this monster's power level
  of "dangerously high".
  It's morphin time for all six.
  The Rangers arrive downtown to see that Turbanshell  is just blowing shit up easily, and they just
  kind of stand there watching for a bit longer  than necessary before they call out their
  Thunderzords, forming the Thunder Megazord  before Tommy calls out the Dragonzord.
  There's a roughly edited battle between  the three that results in only the Dragonzord
  and the monster being able to be in the same  shot while the Thunderzord gets hit off screen
  because, ya know, different Japanese footage.
  Then, the Rangers are ejected from the Thunder  Megazord, landing by Tommy, and Turbanshell
  decides it's time to peace out.
  Outside that one random ass cave in Angel  Grove, Turbanshell appears in front of Lord
  Zedd, and he literally scares Zedd.
  I love it.
  Zedd yells at him for retreating at the moment  when he had the opportunity to win.
  The other five Rangers rush over to Tommy  who says he's weak when all of a sudden,
  he's teleported away to a field to fight  Turbanshell one-on-one, and Turbanshell starts
  sucking up Tommy's powers with his ass.
  Seriously.
  Tommy is officially out of power, and he scrambles  away while Zedd celebrates that this dollar
  store crystal is definitely supercharged now.
  The five rangers try to get in contact with  Zordon, but they can't because something
  is jamming the communicators before they're  teleported to a forcefield outside that stupid
  cave to face Zedd, now out of suit.
  Zedd exposits his damn plan once again before  he introduces the….
  Dark Rangers.
  Oh my god, this is probably the worst thing  I've ever seen them try to do on this show,
  and that's saying a lot.
  Seriously.
  They look like something you'd see at International  Mr. Leather.
  The five teens try to tell the other Dark  Rangers to stop being dumb, but it's no
  use.
  They want to serve Zedd.
  We end this episode with Tommy hiding behind  a rock while Turbanshell is yelling for him.
  To be continued.
  Is this the best episode ever?
  Jesus Christ, no.
  Not even by a long shot.
  But, I will say, part of me is just happy  that they're finally wrapping up that entire
  "Tommy is losing his powers" thing because  man, that was getting annoying as hell to
  watch episode after episode.
  Other than that, the idea of the Dark Rangers  is a nice one, but man is it executed horribly.
  Like, they sincerely had unused suits from  Japan that they could've just used instead?
  Or just had them come out wearing the Rangers'  spandex with different helmets or something?
  Man.
  How will this conclude in the next episode?
  What does Tommy's communicator have to do  with anything?
  Why was Trini at her grandma's instead of  at the beach with the others?
  Are they really all cut off from Zordon or  are we going to forget that even happened?
  Find out next time, but until then, may the  power protect you!
