Wheels of Destruction
Airdate: 3/18/00
|
|
|
| Joel pays a visit to Ms. Fairweather, and
begins to ask her out on a date, when he is interrupted
by a code red. |
|
They find the trouble to be one of
Diabolico's monsters, who unleashes powerful winds on
them. |
|
|
|
| The quickly dispose of him with the
Rescue Blasters, but another problem quickly arrives on
the scene.. |
|
It's Vypra, in her new vehicle - the
Vyprari. The Rangers open fire at it with no luck. |
|
|
|
| They take off after Vypra in the Rescue
Rover, and try to shoot her tires, but the Vyprari's
shields protect it. |
|
She sneaks up behind them and trashes the
Rescue Rover, just before fleeing the scene. |
|
|
|
| The Rangers return to the Aquabase and
meet with Captain Mitchell to discuss their defeat. |
|
Joel once again approaches Ms. F., and
falls under the impression that she is building him a
surprise. |
|
|
|
| Vypra has struck again, this time
injuring several civilians. The Rangers come to their
rescue. |
|
Carter goes after Vypra in the Rescue
Rover, but he is once again left eating her dust. |
|
|
|
| At the Aquabase, Ms. F. presents the
Rangers with a "surprise" - new Lightspeed
Cycles. |
|
Joel is devastated! He thought for sure
that Ms. F. was building him a super sonic jet pack. |
|
|
|
| Diabolico has unleashed yet another
monster, an elephant who sends shockwaves through the
ground. |
|
He is no match for the Rangers and their
Rescuebird, and is blown to smithereens with a single
shot. |
|
|
|
| Vypra is back, but this time the Rangers
are ready with their new state of the art motorcycles. |
|
They outmanuever the Vyprari and get some
good shots in with the Cycle's mounted blasters. |
|
|
|
| Carter and Vypra square off, racing
towards each other, guns blazing. In the end, Vypra is
taken out and crashes into a junkpile. The Vyprari is
still operational, and she retreats. |
|
Joel finally asks Ms. F. out, but she
refers him to the Lightspeed regulation prohibiting
fraternization between squad members, which Dana reveals
to be a bogus rule after Joel exits. |
Comments:
- The Vyprari - the year 2000 model of the Silver
Ranger's Galactic Rover.
- This ep had tons of action - not one, but two
monsters, and then Vypra in her new wheels. The
well choreographed cycle fight at the end was
awesome.
- I am beginning to find Joel to be a real jerk -
he is so full of himself. I loved the look on his
face when he saw Ms. Fairweather's surprise - he
looked like he was about to cry.
- The Vyprari's exits reminded me of the Delorean
from Back to the Future.
- Great "battle damage" on the Rescue
Rover. It looked more like some vandals had spray
painted the thing with grafitti.
- Carter asked just about the stupidest question in
reference to the Lightspeed Cycles - "What
are they?"
