So far on OO, this show is so oddly paced, I want to praise the show for having just one big quest but then internal, smaller storylines seem to get shafted in the process, like Dax's relationship which was been treated as a joke in every episode but the one centred on it, or how their huge quest ended with them finding a pearl in a ghosts beard in such a ludicrously contrived fashion that it tore down any pretence that this is some methodical, planned out serial.

That isn't mentioning that the globe trotting aspect of the series and the implication of a large number of independent villain factions is largely brushed over so we can pour a painful amount of time into a single action sequence instead. OO is one of the most epic Power Rangers shows ever, and somehow feels like one of the smallest.

Speaking specifically of episode 8 though, it was another enjoyable episode. The original American Footage has come HELL of a long way from the days when well...remember that AWFUL fight between the White and Green Ranger? Yeah... The action in general was just so good, I love how many villains in this show provide a 'oh shit' factor, Kamdor and Will's showdown especially was just epic. Just a shame about the acting.
