Season 4, Episode 45: A Mystery To Me

"A Mystery To Me"
Episode 45
Air Date: November 14th, 1996

This episode just feels so random. It's a CLUE: The episode mixed with some Power Rangers thrown in it. So Lt. Stone is hosting a "Who Done It?' charity event with everyone dressing up in classic attire; playing iconic caricatures of a murder mystery. Of course, the whole thing is silly and cheesy but it's Power Rangers, what do you expect??? O_o I did find the running joke of Rocky being the Butler funny. I mean I know I'm hard on him and Adam but it's because they are so easy to analyze because there's nothing to their characters besides being rangers. So Rocky being forced to play the help was just hilarious to it. I mean at least everyone was trying to get into character but Rocky was just still Rocky, plain and boring; whining about finally being character that actually has more charisma than he has. Harsh but TRUE!!! :P

Also, where did Archerina's jealousy of Katherine come from??? O_o It's so random, just so the writers can make sense out of the Sentai footage that they were gonna use. I mean they could have found a way to isolate the rangers from Katherine without having Archerina having to personally challenge because of...what???....she's pink and Katherine is also pink??? O_o That's just soooo lame!!! I mean the fight between them wasn't bad, short but was alright. I mean if the writers ad built up a rivalry between the two it would have made the episode more worth it but it just got tiring of seeing ranger by ranger get trapped in that damn dungeon just so Archerina could fight Katherine. Also it doesn't make sense to me that Jason couldn't be contact when he wasn't even in the dungeon??? O_o  How was his communicator cut off like the others??? Could the writers not have found a better excuse to not have Jason appear because there was no Gold Ranger Sentai footage this episode??? Ehh anyway....

We finally see the return of Auric in this episode after missing for a couple as Katherine needs help during her fight with Acherina when she and Prince Gasket unfairly unleash a monster on her, Nuklifier, who beats the crap out of Auric. As Alpha sees Auric hurt and Katherine defenseless, he finally gets a frequency where he can reach the rangers. Zordon tells them to tune their communicators so they can teleport back to the Power Chamber. There they see Kat and Auric in trouble and morph. They fight Nuklifier until Klank makes him grow with Orbus and they destroy him with the combined strength of the Zeo Megazord, Red Battlezord and a fully grown Auric. Oh yeah, Lt. Stone was the one who did it, blah, blah.... Overall, it isn't a mystery to me that "A Mystery To Me" is not fun but filler. It has some problems but it isn't completely terrible.

Final Morph: C-
