Season 5, Episode 3: Shift Into Turbo, Part 3

 
"Shift Into Turbo, Part 3"
Episode 3
Air Date: April 30th, 1997

I can make through this season I know I can, no matter how awful the first half is!!! I can do this!!! So this dreadful season premiere ends with Zordon and Alpha 5 leaving the rangers for good. I just enjoy how they pretty much just abandon the rangers at a moments notice.  I mean these guys just graduated and you're all celebrating that by making them a cake but "oh yeah, my bumbling sidekick and I are leaving guys....for good!!!" What awful writing and mind you this is Doug Sloan!!! Who's decision was it to just write Zordon and Alpha off the show like this because the moments where they say goodbye are forced??? Where was the froesahdowing and build up to this huge moment of the main mentor for the Power Rangers for 4 years decides to go home because he just wants to go back home to his family???!!! o_O Why not just say because of the rangers graduating, he feels that they don't need him as mentor anymore and he is very proud of them or something??? Who the hell thought this was the right way to cut out two of the most important characters who've been there since the beginning like this???!! And the worst part, Tommy isn't even broken up about it. The longest running ranger of the team is all happy and casual about it. Arrrrgggghhhhhh!!! -_-

So with Zordon and Alpha planning to leave through the wormhole with Lerigot's magic but Divatox sends a monster, Amphibitor, because to stop the wormhole but giving him a device that will close it for good.  Meanwhile, Elgar is sent with a bunch of Divatox's forces in....their cars -_-....to distract the rangers from stopping her plan. So the alarms of the Power Chamber go off and the rangers morph into action or rather "shift into turbo" to stop them. This whole zord sequence....*breathes*....it's dumb!!! It's just the rangers uses their Turbo Zords aka stupid cars to ram into Elgar and other force's cars!!! -_-  Tommy even takes out his manual for his zord out to figure out how to "shift it into turbo".....I just.....WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!?? O_O All the rangers are joking and quipping as they form the Turbo Megazord while fighting Elgar and his forces like they didn't just find out their long running mentor and sidekick are abandoning them because CARS....cool right!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! -_- After defeating Eldumb and the rest of Divatox's forces by forming the Turbo Megazord for no reason, the rangers return and say their goodbyes to Zordon and Alpha.....what a pathetic and anti-climatic farewall and the episode isn't even over yet because not the rangers have to defeat Divatox's monster to stop Zordon and Alpha from getting trapped in the wormhole.

The rangers head back into action (thank God Nakia Burrise learned to tone it down with that transition) and fight Amphibitor until.....Oh for the love of.....Divatox orders to fire the torpedoes at her monster to make him grow....cause YES, that is the monster growing method of this season!!! But that isn't even the worst part, after the rangers summon their zords, form the Turbo Megazord and finish off the monster with the Turbo Megazord Spin Out finisher, Lerigot leaves....introducing us to....I can't do this, please!!! Someone slap me!!! "YO, YO, YO!!!" Please, not Alpha 6, that ghetto accented, New Yorker wannabe, trash talking, second rate robotic idiot arrives....and with the rangers' new "mentor", Dimitria, from the planet Inquiris.....because she doesn't give answers.....she asks questions!!! What until the rangers are in desperate need of guidance and you'll know what I mean. What a truly and absolutely loathsome 3 part premiere!!! And I though MMPR Season 3's "A Friend In Need" was bad.  "Shit Into Turbo, Part 1-3" make that crap look like a primetime, Emmy award winning masterpiece!!! So many horrible changes so and yet there is so much more to horrid writing, terrible plot twists, disrespectful writeouts to come!!! Get ready kids for "Power Rangers Turd-o". -_-

Final Morph: F
