So the episode is a bodyswap episode. That’s great, Power Rangers has done it several times before. Probably best remembered is the first, with Billy and Kimberly switching in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. That was a ton of fun and took full advantage of the concept. Like Jake, Kimberly was a popular kid in school and Billy, like Noah, is a nerd. Jake and Noah switch and we get a few bits of them acting different but it all seems so rushed and is almost completely forgotten once the action gets rolling. While it’s nice to see Mr. Burley taking note of the switch (that they aren’t even trying to hide) why is he calling out Noah (with Jake’s mind) for not answering questions for one class? If anything he should be praising Jake (with Noah’s mind). Misplaced priorities there, dude. The best use of the body swap comes right after that with Gia seemingly attracted to Jake now that he has Noah’s smarts. If we are forced to have the Jake/Gia romance? At least having her being attracted to smarts makes it a little more tolerable. By the end the bodyswap plot is used for a lame gag about how Jake doesn’t want to go out into nature with Emma because… she actually seems to enjoy it and he thinks nature is lame? Where did this come from? I get that Jake is a teenager and says stupid things but for a team that’s been working together for over a year you think they wouldn’t be having these problems by now. Maybe the conflict could have been he said he would go but had a soccer game? All I will say is that Emma admiring the trees and raving, “Isn’t life beautiful?” is one of the only bright spots of this episode that featured stupid nonsensical action. Dragon Power with bonus Blitz New Powers. Ninja Storm powers for no reason. But I’ve talked about those problems before. Let’s focus on the main complaint of this episode. Oh yeah, Orion is working on his space pod! Let’s hope it’s mentioned again cause that’s vaguely intriguing. Didn’t make up for him barely being around this episode. Poor Cameron Jebo. He’s trying his best with what he’s given but they keep writing him out of episodes. This episode gets the lowest rating possible because it squandered all of it’s potential. You can do better Super Megaforce. Fix this. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all news updates related to the world of geek. And Google+, if that’s your thing!
