Power Rangers Megaforce Episode 17 "Staying on Track" Discussion!
 

Metal Alice plans on derailing a passenger train, can the Megaforce Rangers stop her in time?!

Discuss!

Ooh, this is the one that should have Gosei Wonder right?

Yes it is.

Voted Good. Not the best episode, but it wasn't horrible. but I did have a random thought while watching this episode. One which I'll spoiler tag since some people haven't seen Goseiger and some are watching it now.

Gosei Knight, in Goseiger, is Brajira's Headder from thousands of years ago. That's how we got Dark Gosei Knight. Brajira tortured him and reprogramed him into submitting before him again. And I'm just wondering how much of that we're going to see in Megaforce. Probally not the torture. But what they could do is have Metal Alice reprogram RoboKnight forcefully. What do we think?

One more thing.. Um .. You can call it Gosei Jet all you want, but that card clearly said Gosei Wonder. Saban, you lazy.

I... didn't really like this episode that much.

I thought Robo Knight's voice was annoying. I was wrong. Metal Alice's was even worse. whoa different clothes! And a one time use megazord.

I dont think we're watching the same show :lol Metal Alice's VO is awesome.

As usual, Robo Knight makes this episode better for me. :lol

Megaforce is actually is really improving as far as show quality goes, which is sad because there's, what, three or four episodes left before Super Megaforce?

I'll also say that Gosei Jet seems to come out of nowhere...Sentai, fill me in, the hell is up with Gosei Wonder in Goseiger? XD

Alata helped a Princess find the Wonder Headders and keep them from the Warstar Remnants. Since Gosei Dragon was damaged in the battle, he was Granted Gosei Wonder and the Gosei Wonder Headders (Elephant, Gator, Kabuto, and Dolphin) to form Wonder Gosei Great and destroy what was left of Warstar and keep the power out of their hands. It was only used once in Epic The Go On movie and never again, so don't expect a return :p Unless they fudge new footage. They might, you never know. Everything with Alice and Vrak in the underwater base is new.

Boy, I'm glad I have you to fill me in on Goseiger stuff now when it comes to Megaforce.

Hopefully I can return the favor to anyone who might be clueless about Gokaiger and it's differences in Super Megaforce. Which on this site, is apparently no one. :lol

Youre welcome :lol

Metal Alice's voice gives me a headache for some reason.

Fair enough.

Another really enjoyable episode. The Roboknight/Metal Alice dynamic has turned out to be one of the show's best aspects.

Also, title fix.

I did that at 440am, leave me be :lol (Also thank you xD)

Metal alice alone is becoming one of the joys of this episode. Her VO, Vrak's VO, both give me hope for the VO of Zangyack going forward.

I'm going to say it right now.

I love Robo Knight's voice. It is amazing. Chris Auer delivered a wonderful performance in this episode.

It was also quite amusing to see Robo Knight playing chess. :lol

This was a nice episode. Better than last week's that's for sure. Kind of sad that the show's quality is increasing the closer we get to the finale. Or maybe my tolerance is just increasing and the quality has remained the same. I dunno.

I have high expectations for Super Megaforce. And I'm sad because of it - I have a feeling Saban will crush most of those expectations very easily.

According to my Magic 8-Ball "All signs point to yes, he will."

Give me classic theme songs during team transformations. That's all I want out of Super Megaforce.

Thats what I love about you, you're an optimist :lol I think, at most, well get "ZEO" or "Mighty Morphin!" And thats all. Remember, I think Wasserman still owns the rights to some of those songs.

Technically, Saban owns the rights to all the sounds and music for all of Power Rangers. Ron Wasserman was only ever able to release a "Power Rangers Redux" album because the songs weren't the same as the originals (owned by Saban).

Then they might actually have the themes when they morph, whic'll be nice. Not to be disappointed by Saban :lol My hope is more american-only footage.

I use the term "Saban" as a general term for the production company, but it's more the helm of Jonathon Tzachor and whether or not he took the time to instruct the sound editors in post-production to do such a thing. It would be an incredible treat to long time fans and, in my opinion, help make up for the whole "oh crap we didn't bring back past Rangers, fly out 10 of the ones that don't hate our production company and are willing to work for cheap!" debacle from earlier this year.

Alright, this off to a good start, first off, THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT CHANGE OF CLOTHES!!! :lol Second, Roboknight high-fives Jake into the ground and makes Potato Salad fall on him :lolol

Wow, morphing sequence is stock footage with them in normal clothes... Im not suprised.

"Fire Away, Its okay, shoot!" "uh... Jake?" "Whoa!" :lol

Alrigh, this might be a filler filled episode with just an excuse for Gosei to pretend to be amentor and grant them a new zord. But it did have some fun cast interaction.

To be fair, that's the case with every single Power Rangers series.

Yea, I was just more suprised the fact they changed them for this episode, as I dont think they have been the whole series (Minus the halloween special)

i thought the whole train debacle was beyond ludicrous but that could be just as much the source material. id rank this as a lower quality episode

Although this is a kids show and humans do indeed need rest, was anyone else uncomfortable at the fact that there are probably people dying constantly and the Rangers were just out pissing around?

Also, targeting trains, why? I dunno about US trains but in the UK the trains are already chaos. Unclean, overcrowded, never on time, poorly planned out, they already feel like a Power Rangers plot in themselves. You may as well just do what I do every morning, walk to your nearest bus stop and get a bus instead. Episode solved, next?

All snide aside...I actually kinda enjoyed this episode. Yes the fact that Metal Alice focused her entire efforts a single passenger train is as ridiculous as it is stupid but the fact there were actual stakes and tension involved in this episode (no matter how limited) ranks this as one of the best episodes of the season, as it's been basically impossible to be emotionally invested in any of the other choppy, poorly edited, compressed Goseiger clip shows that have basically dominated the majority of the season.

Also aside from that, the action was really, really good - even the new Megazord was pretty cool. I especially loved Robo Knight this episode, who does seem to keep coming to near enough the same kind of conclusions every episode, but he really is very badass and is one of the best actors out of the heroes, despite having no facial expressions and that stupid voice. And no this isn't some kind of Troy is robotic gag (but y'know) I just genuinely think he's a good character.

I like how a kid finds a robot lurking around the corner and his first reaction is to dump exposition for a whole minute.

I think you guys are overthinking the plot of what is essentially a kid's show :lol

Even when I praise a show people aren't happy :(

I didn't say that :lol

The same could be said for most discussion on this website though :lol

Very true xD

T_T I'm never happy with this show, but I continue on.

Gooooo ooonnnn =D

Go On with the Epic! Trust me. The season finale, from the leaks we've seen, you'll love. .. The awesome o_o
