The Omega Project Airdate: 09/09/00
Joel hangsout with his little buddy
Simon, who shows him all of the things he has invented.
Olympius reveals his latest plan - to
send an asteroid hurling towards Mariner Bay.
After Joel leaves, Simon discovers the
asteroid on his high powered telescope.
Joel arriveslate to the Aquabase, and
hides flowers he brought for Ms. Fairweather behind his
back.
Joel gets a call onhis morpher from
Simon, who hacked into the frequency. He shows Joel his
findings.
After a tremendous amount ofeffort, Joel
and Simon make Ms. F aware of the impending danger.
The Rangers form the Lightspeed
Solarzord, and charge up on some rays to blast the
asteroid out of the sky.
Olympius has other plans however, and he
shows up on the scene to create a force field which
blocks out the sun.
The Rangers head down and blast Olympius
with the Battle Boosters to try and take the force field
down.
Ms. F tells them there is no time - they
must stop the attack and head back to initiate the Omega
Project.
The Max Solardzord takes the Supertrain
into space.
Oncein space, the Omega Zords are
deployed from the train.
The combine and form the Omega Crawler,
which mounts the asteroid and places two explosives.
Before they can take off, the asteroid
comes to life and grabs a hold of the Omega Crawler.
To escape, it transforms into the Omega
Megazord, which jabs its spear into the ground,
detonating the explosives.
Everyone at the Aquabase watchesin horror
as the asteroid explodes, believing the Rangers to have
been killed in the explosion.
But they haven't! The Zords safely fly
out of the blast, as Carter reports that everything is
ok.
Joel's plan to have Simon ask Ms. F out
on a date with him backfires, when Simon asks her out
with himself!
Comments:
When Joel asked Simon to ask Ms. F out, I also
got the impression that he meant for a date with
Simon, not with Joel.
As with most Zord introduction episodes, the
special effects and action were top notch. The
scene with the Omega Megazord standing there as
the asteroid blew up around it was awesome.
I don't know about the name "Omega
Megazord", it sounds redundant.
Aside from the well done action, there was also
well done comedy - the Joel/Ms. F scenes are
getting better all the time.
I find it really hard to believe that Simon could
really be that smart.
