‘THE YOLK’S ON YOU!’ (MMPR)

Please feel free to comment on my review.

This is an unusual ‘Power Rangers’ episode in the ‘Mighty Morphin’ series. It has a monster that has a bizarre motive. In the episode, a talent show is held at the Angel Grove Youth Center. Jason and Tommy are performing a martial arts act whilst Bulk and Skull are doing a rather loud rock-guitar gig.

Meanwhile, Finster prepares a birthday present for Rita Repulsa. My, my! The ‘Power Rangers’ villains have birthdays?! Shocking! 😀 The present of course is a new monster that happens to be called Fang. Fang is a monster with an odd motive, as he’s protective about his rare Goony Bird eggs.

Tommy forgets the belts for his and Jason’s act at the talent show. He goes off to fetch the belts, but on his return, he runs into several Putty Patrollers. He fights them off, before he loses his communicator and Power Morpher. He soon gets caught in a net hanging from a tree by the Putties.

Now, you would think that the Putties would take the communicator and the Power Morpher and give them to Rita, right? Nope! They don’t do that. 😐 They hold onto them whilst they guard Tommy in his net, before he frees himself and recovers his Power Morpher and communicator from them. 🙂

Are the Putties that dim-witted? 😀 Anyway, there’s trouble when Goldar, Squatt and Baboo go in search for the new monster called Fang at Rita’s command. Squatt and Baboo stumble upon two Goony Bird eggs and they eat up. Fang arrives upset, as the Goony Bird eggs happen to be his lunch.

Rita and her goons manage to persuade Fang to fight the Rangers so that he can have more eggs. Fang falls for the lies, and he fights the Rangers, first on the ground and then as a giant. The Rangers use their Dinozords and they soon receive help from Tommy as Green Ranger with his Dragonzord. 🙂

First, there’s the Dino Megazord, then the Dragon Megazord, and finally the Ultrazord with Titanus before the Rangers defeat Fang. ‘The Yolk’s On You!’ isn’t what I would call a great ‘Power Rangers’ episode. The monster has a bizarre motive in wanting his eggs and keeps repeating it whilst fighting.

The Goony Bird eggs aren’t that significant. Since there were Power Eggs in ‘Big Sisters’, why couldn’t they have resurfaced in this episode to be significant? Those Power Eggs ended up in the ocean at the end of ‘Big Sisters’. Surely, the Goony Bird eggs could have been the Power Eggs instead.

‘The Yolk’s On You!’ (MMPR) rating – 6/10
