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?"
