Super Samurai episode 02 - "Shell Game" episode discussion
 

Discussion goes here!

Overall not bad. I definitely thought Spike was going to morph >.>

Not a bad one, I don't think. Kinda missed having the Gold Ranger in the fight but eh. Least we got to see the Claw Armor again, and someone else as Super Samurai, which was nice. Now if only they'd get to Yellow using it :P

gold ranger was fishing whole time - 5 samrai rangers fight shell monster

It was less fishing and more "stick your rod in the water and rock out to some music," but then that's what fishing is like for me sometimes.

Not as great as last week's episode, but still not bad.

The Antonio subplot was pretty silly, and having Bulk and Spike not do more with the morpher was wasted potential. That being said I did enjoy the extended zord sequence.

Thought it was a good episode. I liked the use of some smarts in trying to break through the monster's tough shell and not just throwing bigger and bigger sword attacks at him. The Zord fight was very good. Bulk and Spike not doing more with the morpher was a bit of a wasted opportunity but I liked their subplot, including the exchange of "What was that all about?" "... I have no idea." :D

Antonio being so enthused about fishing still makes me laugh. A fisherman Ranger, too cool. And Kevin getting to drive as Super Samurai was a VERY cool aspect, especially in Mega Mode. That's putting the Mega Mode concept to good use.

The monster Armadeevil reminded me a great deal of the classic Zyu2 monster Soccadillo, a personal favorite.
