My Rating: 3/5
Description: Trini’s neighbour is kidnapped and trapped upon Zedd’s "Venus Island" (which looks supiciously like Angel Grove with synthetic fly traps. Heheh.) The Rangers have to save her before she submits to Zedd’s villainy. Bad plot and props (which about sum up MMPR!), but decent action.

My Rating: 2/5
Description: There’s too much recycled footage here for my liking, and how they managed to stretch the story out for three episodes is beyond me! The Rangers are introduced to three new students from Stone Canyon – Rocky, Adam and Aisha – who prove to be valiant ninjas, and will later prove to be vital allies. But Zedd gets his eye on them first, and wishes to turn them to his own dark uses. The Hatchosaurus returns for some tedious rehashed battle sequences.

Parts: 1
Year Made: 1994
My Rating: 2/5
Description: This is another one of those bizarre episodes... The Rangers must help an alien visitor get home safely before Zedd can get his hands on a powerful crystal he is carrying. Lord Zedd's acerbic tongue just about saves this episode!

Episode: Rangers Back in Time

Year Made: 1994
My Rating: 3/5

Anyway, it’s all good fun as the Rangers must be returned to their teenage-selves to destroy Zedd’s 'Rock of Time', and restore the world to normal.

Episode: The Wedding
Parts: 3
Year Made: 1994
My Rating: 4/5
Description: It's the funeral march for kick-ass Lord Zedd. *cries* Rita returns with her most diabolical plot yet; not only does she plan to thwart the Rangers for good, but, through a sham of a marriage to the Emperor, she plots to overthrow Lord Zedd, too! (Hands off, girl.) It's great fun, but it's utterly degrading for poor old Zedd.

Episode: Return of the Green Ranger
Parts: 3
Year Made: 1994
My Rating: 3/5
Description: Although a bit disappointing, it’s still entertaining stuff. The Rangers are sent back in time to Angel Grove centuries before, whilst Tommy is left in the present to contend with a Green Ranger clone of himself, courtesy of Rita’s friend, the Wizard of Deception.

Episode: Best Man for the Job
Parts: 1
Year Made: 1994

Episode: A Friend in Need
Parts: 3
Year Made: 1995
My Rating: 3/5
Description: The Rangers go to aid the suffering people of Edenoi from the advances of the villainous Count Dregon and meet up with the Masked Rider. Meanwhile, Kim, left on Earth with a cold, must gather her strengths to fight Zedd’s latest monster alone. It's a bit tedious and basically a contrived introduction to Saban's then new series Masked Rider (which went down with a big flop), but still, Finster's flu-contracting monster and a little bit of Zedd-history as regards a rivalry with Dregon makes this tale a little diverting.
