[Sh Ranger]

Holy s***, it's Venjix! — the reaction I would've had if not for spoilers.

I just checked Evox's page on the Wiki after watching the recent episode and it's humorous how they put a spoiler warning even though the page is already labeled Venjix Virus.

Despite knowing what was coming though, the reveal had great execution and I think it's smart how Venjix used snake DNA to regenerate from fragmented data, since that's an ability snakes use to grow back their bodies. That's a much better explanation for the animal DNA than the weird side effects of the Rangers' mutations.

That whole sequence where Nate and the other Rangers were chasing Evox through the base with blasters to purge him from the computers reminded me a lot of the last level of Black Ops 3 and Corvus. Actually, this isn't the first time the show made me think about that game either. There are a lot of similarities.

I think it's smart and also cool how they acknowledged the connection between Dr. K and Nate to bring up the moral from RPM that even cataclysmic mistakes can be atoned for. I wonder if Dr. K was reminded of her close friends Gem and Gemma in Ben and Betty. Enjoyed that cameo a lot!
