Season 2, Episode 40: Rangers Back In Time, Part 2

"Rangers Back In Time, Part 2"
Episode 40
Air Date: February 11th, 1995

Well, Part 2 is certainly better than Part 1 but not by that much. At least we get some decent ranger action and less of the toddlers running around doing nothing but non-sense. So the first half of the episode is pretty much focused on Alpha turning the young rangers back into teens.  Shame that the picture of the rangers ends up in the hands of Bulk and Skull. Like I said, even as kids they are nothing but an annoyance that just needs to go away. At least Alpha, as bumbling as he can be, shows that he can be competent and resourceful when the rangers aren't present.  Once the rangers are returned to normal, Alpha gives them the heads up about them being the Power Rangers before turning to their normal teenage selves. Once back to normal, the rangers morph and go after Photomare and Goldar. Tommy orders Rocky to summon his zord and go after Photomare, who has now grown because of Lord Zedd. While the rangers battle a squad of Putties, Red Dragon Thunderzord is unleashed and faces off against the monster of the week.  Too bad the monster has the ability to copy the Red Dragon Thunderzord as Rocky now has to face two targets.

Meanwhile, Tommy is handling Goldar and the Putties while the rest of the rangers come to Rocky's add with their own zords. They form the megazord and make quick work of both the fake Red Dragon Thunderzord and Photomare by finishing it off with the Thunder Saber.  The rangers then regroup and join Tommy who is finishing off Goldar, who retreats. Back at the Command Center, turns out that the Rock of Time is making the Earth highly unstable and if the rangers don't destroy it, the planet will be destroyed. Zordon contacts the rangers and has Alpha give them the coordinates to where the rock of time is. Once there, the rangers are met by Goldar and more Putties sent down again by Lord Zedd, We get a decent fight between the rangers and Zedd's forces, including more old monsters from the past. Also how exactly does Adam know who Oysterizer is since he wasn't a ranger then??? O_O Couldn't that line have gone to Billy or Kimberly??? O_o Anyway the rangers defeat the old monsters and Putties as Goldar is forced intro retreat again. They summon their Power Cannon and destroy the rock once and for all.

The episode ends with Aisha, Kimberly and Rocky thinking about their time as kids again and how they took those years for granted before we get  stupid moment between Caplen and the two idiots that couldn't make a baby laugh. Overall, Part 2 was barely average I guess. It was much better than the kid dominated part 1, but ultimately this two parter was not worth the time. It was lousy and just a waste of time. SIGH!!!
