"Nice Leaves."
"Nice leaves???"
Yeah....and you're branches aren't bad either."

Oh my goodness!!! O_O
 How did the writers get away with that suggestive dialogue. Either way, "A Few Bad Seeds" stinks. Another filler episode with an absurd plot (at least for Power Rangers) as some how Rocky had discovered some mutated plant seeds he used for his herbology assignment. So these very unpredictable seeds were just found and he creates a monstrous plant that eats metal of course. Fearing the plant may become out of control, he takes a sample of it to Alpha after Adam suggests it. Bulk and Skull are also there and stupidly decide to take a piece of the plant as well to make their own....after it eats half of Bulk's badge!!! Smart guys real smart!!

Anyway, Mondo spies on the rangers and sends down the Cogs to have them steal the rapidly growing and aggressive plants to make monsters out of them. As Rocky and Adam return, Sprocket surprises them as the Cogs steal the plant. The two morph and try to stop the Cogs but they end up leaving with both plant. Back at the Machine Empire, Mondo creates Pollenator and....Adrian.....(insert Rocky joke here??? O_o), who are apparently cousins to go after the rangers and destroy them. Back at the Power Chamber, the rangers arrive to try to figure out what Mondo wants with the plants and figure out that he must have turned them into monsters. As the alarm in the Power Chamber goes off, the rangers morph into action and for the first time, we see one of the variations of the Zeo posing before they morph.

At the Angel Grove Junk Yard, the rangers fight off the two before the two start fighting each other. Mondo, out of frustration, uses his staff to teleport the two back to the royal house of gadgetry. There, Mondo is furious with them for fighting each other and forces them to go after the rangers again. But when the two rebel after Mondo threatens to destroy Adrian, Pollenator rebels and fights off the Cogs to free him. Mondo uses the power of his staff to restrain them and forces Pollenator once again to go after the rangers. When Rocky heads off to the library after talking to Adam, Pollenator goes after him. Rocky morphs and fights him but he is too strong for him; ultimately unleashing his pollen onto Rocky who has Alpha teleport him back to the Power Chamber.

As the rangers arrive back at the Power Chamber, they see Rocky being to turn into a human-plant hybrid who can't seem to stop making plant puns!!! Groan!!! -_- Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull are after the culprits who stole the plants and are making fools of themselves as always. When Pollenator is told to snack on some more metal by Mondo, the rangers have no choice but to leave Rocky behind to fight him as Alpha tries to find a way to reverse the spores in him. It turns out it was pure oxygen and Alpha cures Rocky. He morphs back int action and tells the rangers they need to use pure oxygen to destroy him. Turns out pure oxygen is hitting him with their Zeo power pistols??? O_o Anyway, the episode is resolved with Rocky using much more natural seeds to grow his plants and Bulk with Skull making more asses of themselves. Ehhhh, this was a bad episode!!! I disliked the plot and Rocky doesn't really learn anything from his mistake really. God, this character is LAME!!!
