Season 2 kicks off with one of the most Power Rangers-ish schlocky premises ever. It's a real MMPR-defining moment. "Children's Hospital Charity Motor Marathon". I mean Jesus Tap-dancing Christ! What the hell does wasting a day on a friggin' moped have to do with "generic 'good' cause"? I know people were rock stupid in the 90s, and that all of Hollywood is interminibly gullible and "not very bright" to say the least, given that their moronic actors get swallowed up by cultists regularly, but friggin' Hell. Riding around on goddamn mopeds. For the CHILDREN. Speaking of children, why is Mr. Kaplan, the principal who looks like a molestor (ie like a principal) still on this show? Get used to the new villain, Lord Zedophile, whom you won't see because B&S are most likely spared from any scenes involving a reeking man without any skin. We'll have to see.
"This is not about winning," says Kimberly, who wins all the damn time, so the concept of loss to her is imaginary, yet she lives in a magical fantasy world where wolves are evil tricksters and people can ride stupidass mopeds to help generic children's hospitals. But as the PR would tell us, we're just jealous, or some such crap.
Of the PR, I can at least stand Tommy, because he says what these B&S clips have been trying to show you: Bulk and Skull don't lack for confidence. Damn straight, Tommy. I don't know if you noticed, but Robert Vaughn (the Red ranger) there for some reason has an ear pierced like the way effeminate ghetto trash from your grade school used to get in the 90s.
Crashing off a moped or dirtbike or vespa or any of those dorky things that white trash rides these days to emulate old men in their midlife crises will undoubtedly break your cranium, shatter your collarbone, or sever your spine causing irreversible damage that may deteriorate even years down the line if you survive, but it becomes a laughable tumble for the downtrodden Bulk and skull! Ha ha ha ha ha, thank you, Haim Saban!
Ah, Bulk and Skull in an action sequence. They just exude dignity, don't they? And way to go Thuy Trang, I knew we could count on her for some B&S support. Actually, that's Trini speaking. There's a difference. When you refer to the characters, it's a completely different world than referring to them as their actors. Here's an example:
Red [ranger] looks dorky with that earring. Austin St. John should congratulate himself for working hard on a long-lasting series and for looking like Robert Vaughn or Kyle McLachlan, two actors I particularly like.
And now a scene where I can show some Bulk and Skull with some goofy cosplay stagefighting! We can see here the folly of the "writing" from Saban. All B&S do is say "hoo hoo hoo" or something. However, this scene is important because it starts the plot thread that keeps the second season going: B&S's plan to discover the identity of the PRs. The music for this combat scene is really catchy. Too bad B&S's logic, much like every plot point in MMPR, is fallacy-personified.
That's no fish, skull! That's just Dagon from Mr. Howard Phillip Lovecraft's writings! Say hello to Mr. Dagon! Skull's jacket is cool in the first clip from 2.04. Today's question: Why the hell can't Miss Appleby feed her cute little iguana her damn self?
Hey guys, I have to feed my pet iguana. Instead of taking 3 seconds to feed it, i'll take 10 minutes trying to find someone who will feed it for me so I can save time for photocopying test papers!

Such is the way of so-called authority figures. Their perceived power over others is exaggerated by their deluded ego, and so they convince themselves that dispensing duties to those around them is beneficial to those around them. This is similar to the mindset that promoted racial slavery in the American south, religious warfare, and is present even in relationships where professionality isn't obscure like it is in a teacher-student relationship.
