"A Monster of Global Proportions"
Episode 25
Air Date: November 5th, 1994

Well I got to admit, I thought this episode would head into an with an awful direction!!! That whole World Teen Summit was filled with harsh stereotypes of each country each teen was representing.  Also you have the very idiotic plot of Lord Zedd holding the 5 teens from all over the world hostage so that they can become his new Power Rangers after getting the Power Coins from the rangers. I mean maybe I'm wrong, it isn't exactly a bad plan by any means but Lord Zedd has tried making his own team of evil rangers before; not to mention evil warriors last episode, so it's kind of pointless. Also it's becoming sad not see Jason, Trini and Zack on screen with Kimberly, Tommy and Billy. While it's very laughably noticeable that the red, yellow and black rangers aren't there anymore technically, it's said seeing the original 6 hanging out less with each other as Billy, Kimberly and Tommy start hanging out more with Rocky, Adam and Aisha. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing really. I mean it's nice seeing the teens' new friends helping them out during the Putty fights as they are proving themselves to be worthy allies but it sucks it's at a cost of making it look like there's a rift between the Power Rangers or something.

As for Tommy's plan to trick Goldar with fake coins, at least the rangers were smarter this town knowing that Goldar wouldn't keep his word; leading to a fight with more Putties. Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull...sigh....god, I don't know why I continue to talk about these two, they are such a waste of space and them coming to the conclusion that the teens of the World Teen Summit were Power Rangers was just stupid as well as putting their lives in danger just to prove themselves right. As for the monster of the day, Four Head was a cool baddie in design as well as powers as it was easily able to fight of the rangers' zord without a problem. The best moment of the episode is when Mega Tigerzord goes for the finishing move and the monster just swings it staff; sending the attack right back at the rangers; seriously crippling their zords. This forces Alpha and Zordon to reveal a new zord for the rangers to help them out in battle from now on.

Tor, the Shuttle Zord....looks absolutely ridiculous!!! Lol The way it's able to get kicked over by the monster is just hilarious. But then of course, it's time for Tor to get active and start kicking some a$$ as it's able to shield the Red Dragon Thunderzord from attack and shoots it's own array of weapons at Four Head. Though I have to say it's finisher....is just....wow....it has all the zords, minus Tigerzord, on its back while the Red Dragon Thunderzord uses its twirling staff to make them all fly and then it just lands and crushes the monster like it's nothing!!! I mean wow....O_O....LOL!!! Overall, the episode was decent. Like I said I like seeing the new allies in Aisha, Rocky and Adam hanging out and helping the rangers more (Although, don't they go to high school in Stone Canyon??? So why are they hanging out with their new friends so much outside of their town??? O_o)  But like I said it's at a cost of distancing one half of the ranger team from the other. Now I know that behind the scenes conflicts costs this but still my goodness, it's just a shame that the transition between the original team and about to be new team is being handled this way. :(
