So MMPR season 3 was pretty great. I was lukewarm on the first season and I thought, the second one went from pretty okay to good, but season 3 was great! I never felt a desire to skip any episodes unlike the past two seasons. I feel like the production crew, finally got the perfect groove for what they were doing with the series for this season.

Alien Rangers, though...it's hit or miss. That part of the season was just bizarre.

Buncha notes and stuff:

You can actually track the progress of how good the show's getting when, Billy slowly starts to act less and less like a super stereotypical nerd, I think.

The humor was on point this season. I dunno, all the goofy jokes were really funny and I liked the blooper reels they put at the end of the episode.

Speaking of humor, I really liked Rito. He's gotta be up there for my favorite henchman in MMPR. Zedd and Rita's family life is also pretty hilarious. Bulk and Skull are always great, not much to say there. ...Except when they're kids.

The acting generally improved a LOT. Especially Rocky. He was kinda bland at first, but he soon grew to be one of my favorite rangers. Almost all of his spotlight episodes are amazing. And even though it wasn't in season 3, Rocky Just Wants to have Fun is in the running for my favorite episode ever. It's really dumb, though!

The fights were great this season. They tended to do this thing where they pan around and show everyone fighting a lot and it really worked well.

Why does Ninjor have a Dudley Do-Right voice. Or more precisely, why can't Robo Knight have a Dudley Do-Right voice so he can be as awesome as Ninjor?

I'm not even sure why the rangers need their ranger forms, when their ninja forms can seemingly instantaneously teleport anywhere, make multiple copies of themselves, grow to a giant size, and mesmerize the Tenga's into doing a dance that knocks themselves out.

One sorta bad point I will mention is that the monsters have a tendency to turn most of the rangers into things so that the remaining rangers could save the day. At some point they've been multicolored footballs, chemicals, bricks...There are more but I forget them.

I...liked the Alien Rangers a lot more than I expected to. They're these bizarre awkward fish people, but as soon as they turned into rangers, they become the cocky goofballs who just showboat and screw around with the villains before they defeat them. At least in the American footage.

The Alien Ranger's archenemy Hydrohog is awful though. Why is their arch-nemesis a fat smurf?

Anyway, started a few episodes of Zeo. I like it, it looks like it's continuing the tone of season 3 of MMPR. I wasn't really fond of the first two episodes though. They seemed awkwardly paced.
