akinoameGot to admit, I'm a little disappointed with it. All this build-up of "Scott got shot with Shifter's key, now Shifter can control him!" and what happens? He disappears for a short time and ends up used as a human shield. Holding his Nitro Blaster, yes, but he was fighting it off and wouldn't let himself shoot. Not exactly "Brother's Keeper" or "Green With Evil" like I was hoping. Must use in Element, then, at some point after Will's attack on Sheffield.
However, I was impressed with Tenaya 15. Like I expected, it was Astronema from "Dark Specter's Revenge" all over again, complete with cybernetic implants (though in this case, they weren't as bulky). Also, a nice touch with the Borg voice. And I was very pleased with Dillon's conflict between saving his sister and saving his friends, not to mention the fact that the virus has spread in his body to 40%, and once it hits 50%, they may lose him.
I also have to say that they're doing a good job trying to show Ziggy, Dillon, and Summer becoming a trio. I was glad to see Summer jumping to Ziggy's rescue, considering that she'swhipped married to dating his best friend. She's not going to be a third wheel interfering with the bromance there.
And finally, I've noticed that they've gotten really inconsistent with the Rangers yelling, "RPM, get in gear!" "Ranger Blue" established the morphing call as a security feature built into the morphers, that the DNA lock, the engine cell, and the voice activation were all needed to morph. However, this episode--like "Heroes Among Us" and others before it--seemed to have forgotten it. Ziggy, Gem, and Gemma were pretty much the only ones who used the morphing call. Whoops.

Y'know, in case someone gets gagged or something they can still morph with the words being uttered. Kind of how in Operation Overdrive where they morphed by slashing their morphers across the enemies in an attack. Best scene EVER in that damn season. That, and Once a Ranger.

Date: 2009-10-04 07:57 pm (UTC)Yeah, possibly Doctor K allowed for an override, especially considering how often the Garage got invaded or
Ziggysomebody got kidnapped or something. And either Shifter fails in creating mind control, or Scott's Truman Badass gene is so potent that mind control weeps impotently before it....Which then makes you wonder why Dillon and Tenaya's badass genes don't do squat for them.

Date: 2009-10-04 08:02 pm (UTC)True, and subvocalization is how they did it once in PR Turbo. They just charged across the field and slammed their keys into the Turbomorphers without even yelling out "Shift into Turbo!"
I do believe that was the first time they actually did a whole morph sequence without going into the actual animation sequence.
It's cause Dillon and Tenaya's badass genes can't handle the fact that they're going to be plot-locked into Andros-and-Karone mode for ages.
