  • It really hurt to see what the red ranger has become. It's very unfortunate to see that ranger designation go from being the leader of the Power Rangers to a watered down subordinate with all due respect to Rocky.moreless

    Watching this episode makes me somewhat glad Jason is not the ranger wearing red. Imagine how watered down his character would've been. It's no wonder why this episode seemed so notorious in an abysmal way. The episode opens with Ernie introducing a pachinko game. Everything goes normal until Lord Zedd places a spell on Rocky making him obsessed of fun and games (specifically the Pachinko game). It was somewhat funny, yet at the same time I feel bad the rangers had to witness Rocky being the goof he was especially while they were taking on Pachinko Head. I know Power Rangers are known for having these sorts of cheesy plot episodes, but I wasn't pleased with the execution. However I'll admit it does teach viewers a lesson that work comes first before play. Hopefully, if not definitely this moral would benefit Rocky after all that craze.moreless

    • Pachinko Head appeared to pull the grow-bomb from behind his back. Edit
    • Bulk and Skull think Ernie is a Power Ranger because he always has a day off when there's a monster attack, however this would more likely mean that Ernie was BEHIND the monster attacks, as he would have always known when to take a day off... Edit
    • When Serpentera casts its shadow over the city, if you look closely, you can see Pachinko Head, even though he was destroyed seconds before. Edit
