Comments:
  • Everything really hits the fan in this episode. The Rangers learn that Principal Randall is Elsa and that Anton Mercer is Mesogog, and that Trent was keeping his secret.
  • There were some great fights in this episode. Tommy vs Principal Randall as all the students come out of the school was classic and very well done. Trent vs Elsa was another great fight. Great chemistry between the two characters and great stunt work.
  • This is the first episode that they use all five Ranger weapons to form the Z-Rex Blaster.
  • This episode was perfect, except why did Elsa just walk away with Trent unconscious?
  • Tommy's glare of death at the end of the episode was great. It gave me chills the first time I saw it. For a week all I could think was, "Poor Trent!"
