As such, this arc and the episodes that follow (until after “The Power Transfer”) employ the use of archive footage of the departed actors from previous episodes, stand-in actors with their backs turned to the camera, and sound-alike voice actors for when Jason, Trini, and Zack appear morphed. Commendably, Saban chose the latter, and this is the arc that serves to introduce their eventual replacements: Rocky, Aisha, and Adam. John (Jason), Thuy Trang (Trini), and Walter Jones (Zack) from the series, MMPR was left in a weird spot: Replace the Red, Black, and Yellow Rangers unceremoniously or find a way to make it work within the story. Oh yeah, and the Rangers fight a monster at one point.Ģ3 “The Ninja Encounter” With the departure of Austin St.
It’s a tender moment that helps develop both characters. But the end of the episode goes to great lengths to show how far the relationships between Bulk and Skull and the Rangers have come (playing off the Rangers’ presence at the Police Academy graduation a few episodes previous) by Kimberly apologizing to Skull for how she acted and asking him to dance. Of course, the spell is eventually broken, as is Skull’s heart. Skull, needing a date for the Policeman’s Ball, is overjoyed when he thinks Kim is finally into him. But since their humble beginnings as bullies in Season 1, Bulk and Skull had developed into hapless-but-noble Junior Police Officers at this point. Throughout the series, we see Skull attempt to ask Kimberly out and get consistently rejected. 24 “The Potion Notion” This episode uses a pretty standard plot device – a love potion that magically makes Kimberly fall in love with Skull – but uses it not only for comedy, but for some pretty great character development.
