Season 25, Episode 8: Caught Red-Handed

"Caught Red-Handed"
Episode 8
Air Date: March 17th, 2018

WOW! O_O I wasn't expecting such an exciting conclusion/cliffhanger with urgency that "Caught Red-...." turned out to be, especially considering the most of the episode is about the most filler feeling episode since Megaforce! O_o  Yeah, the whole dilemma with Brody being "caught red-handed" aka stealing the teacher's compass was enitrely idiotic to deal with.  So the teacher blames Brody for stealing her grandma's compass but it isn't until Victor and Monty accidentally catch the compass being knocked into Brody's bag that his teacher finally believes him!??? What the hell!??? It wasn't logical to maybe think that during the commotion that Victor and Monty started that the compass had been knocked away by maybe checking the camera earlier??!! I mean come on, this is a teacher here and not that teachers can't be out of line on occassion because they certainly can.  But to make such a huge assumption cause it ended up in Brody's bag when clearly he was nowhere near the compass.....OMG!??? -_-  This must have been some last minute moral of the day inserted into the episode because it's even wrapped up by the second half of the episode!  Ohhhh keeping up your ingenuity when your teacher is clearly wrong and if she thought so highly of you, why would she even think you took it....right in front of her??? Why even leave it out in the open!?!!! Duh, dumb, duh, dumb....duh, dumb, duh, dumb, DUMBBBBB!!!! -_- 

Meanwhile, the rangers are on a camping trip when....sigh.....Victor and Monty escape detention and the rangers have to battle yet another aka the third Galactic Ninja, Rygore......sounds like Rygog! :( *Turbo tears* lol While Rygore turns out to be another joke of an enemy that these Galactic Ninjas have been, at least we got that awesome scene of him throwing Victor and Monty, who got caught in their own net, away from the fight! That was such....sorry, I'm getting emotional......please do that again next episode! :_)  Anyway, when it turns out that Rygore is destroyed by the rangers' Ninja Ultrazord, Madame Odius once again appears to capture one of the ninja medallions left behind.  And I got to say once again, her plans are pretty awesome and the fact she waited until they was only one Galatic Ninja left (Ummm Wolvermean was never destroyed tho so.....???? O_o) to seize Venoma for the fourth and final one.  I loved her revealing her plan in a grandeous way as always, using the Foxbots to magically create her own zord, Foxatron, and using the four medallions to give it ultimate power.

It's such an unforeseen turn of events and I love how the rangers are so caught off guard by Madame Odius' plan that she even manages to damage their Ninja Power Stars, Zord stars and force the Ultrazord apart until each megazord is defeated as well as the rangers.  We don't enough villain victories on this show sometimes and this was a glorious one. "Show's over! Ninjas Lose!"  Ha! That was kinda brilliant twist on the rangers' post-zord battle catchphrase.  Unfortunately, the medallions run out of power right when Odius plans to destroy the rangers with Foxatron, leaving her megazord dormant until Venoma can help recharge them.  Unfortunately, in a day, the medallions will be recharged and the rangers have no way of defending Summer Cove now that their stars are damaged.  WOW!!! I can't wait for part 2! Overall, an awesome episode that gets really great toward the end and is the best episode of this lacking arc so far by giving it actual stakes. :)
