Kamen Rider Stronger 03

Can someone explain to me exactly why going through a Haunted House prepares you to become a Junior Ranger Black Satan goon? Is it because Stronger makes them all shit-scared and they need to be prepared for that? Because that's what I think.
And even in the era of Lawn Darts I doubt any parent would let their children go alone into a Haunted House ran by that poster-child for Molesters Anonymous in the black suit.

But I laugh at the 70's and digress.

Have to love the name of the monster this week to. Black Satan's Cyborg Scorpion Monster. And his secret weapon? An extending claw, because all Scorpions have telescopic extending claws. Ask a scientist!
And then we come to how this week's MotW wants to kill Tackle. By tying her to the roller coaster train tracks Dick Dastardly style (Ask your parents, kids) and having the car mow down her and the little girl with her. And not at the bottom of the first hill, nonono. At the bottom of the very last hill. Otherwise he and Jo wouldn't have time for their witty banter!

And I need Jo's witty banter.

The only thing better, the only thing, is Black Satan Goons deciding to go after Stronger in... Are you ready? Paddleboats! Because nothing in this world is as threatening as black suited bug-eyed goons in paddleboats. Ask anyone.
But no, it gets better still! Because Stronger, instead of using his electric powers to shock the water and blow them all up at once, leaps from boat to boat throwing them in the water one at a time.

And now we come to Tackle. Oh Tackle. I love you so. You appear, get kidnapped, break free, only to get curbstomped again once the real villain appears. But you looks great doing it. But is there one time she Henshin's and her mask isn't crooked?

I know it sounds like I'm down on this show, but I'm loving it. I've never both loved a Kamen Rider and laughed so hard at it at the same time.

I love me some classic 70's cheese. I do.
