Power Rangers Super Samurai - Something Fishy - Episode Review

 "Something Fishy"
Antonio is afraid of fish and can't hold his Barracuda Blade and quits being a Ranger because when he was turned into a fish, he was traumatized. The Rangers use aversion therapy to get over their fears: Jayden vs. a spider, Mia vs. a frog, Mike vs. an enclosed space (a closet!), and Kevin vs. Mia' cooking. Apparently Emily isn't afraid of anything.

 It doesn't work and Serrator has joined Xandred's crew and attacks and makes the Ranger loose. Antonio is entrusted to program the Light Zord which Jii says past Rangers couldn't make it work. In Shinkenger, Gold made the zord but here it was an old thing. Anyway, Jii sticks a sushi in Antonio's mouth to 'stop the foolishness' and get over it.

Antonio programs the Light Zord in time to save Jayden who is getting his butt kicked in the Megazord against one of Serrator's monsters. Antonio saves the day and is able to cook and eat fish again.

Review:
Entertaining, but it would had been cool if Antonio could had enter in a  new cockpit. In Shinkenger, Light Zord speaks, here he doesn't but it seems to have a mind of his own.

Pictures thanks to Samuraicast.com because I am having trouble with my DVD+R's and my computer.

Finally! Power Rangers Merchandise Bonanza

It has been a while since PRS premiered, more than a year and finally we are seeing merch. I went to Toys R US today in Miami where I live (Dadeland Mall to be more specific) and found a poster, coloring books (I bought a mondo one), that card book everyone is talking about, more MegaBloks product and Umbrella. Alex Heartman had a 2-hour 'chat' on Facebook and in the office he was in had new merch we haven't seen yet like a Mega mode bank, skateboard, pajamas and more.


Nothing new of Megabloks in some places but first time I see the Racers and Mega sets in Miami.

 The coloring book I got has coloring pages of SPD, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive (Only the boys and mostly drawings of the toys that were not on the show), Jungle Fury (calls Wolf Ranger 'Violet'), RPM and Samurai. They got villains from Samurai and Operation overdrive, the only mistake I see is Sentinel Knight is called a "Chiller." Comes with one sheet of Samurai Stickers.
