Warning don't read unless seen episode.
This is my second favorite episode for this show and one of my favorite for the franchise. It's the typical alternate dimension story but I always like those stories because it's always on the concept of what if.
I'll admit the way Tori travels to the alternate dimension is uncannily similar to the "Teen Beach Movie" films but those are a different story. What I like about it is just seeing how much everything is on the flip side. Where we see monsters are all actually good guys, including Loator and the two flunky girls whom are both hippies. I really like Tori's reaction to things which I think would be how I might react if I ever saw things that way, it would be hard to get use to.
But the most radical change are the Power Rangers themselves whom have became sort of a street gang. Instead of protecting people their beating up people and destroying everything for no good reason.
The theme in this episode is about heroism, the willingness to do what is right. In a way this episode is a bit of a western where Tori is kinda the lone cowgirl helping a town threatened by a group of bandits, while in the process teaching civilians to stand up for themselves. I really like what Tori says to Loator, that this won't go away unless someone does something. Loator's reluctance is understandable it's true there's a possibility they could lose their lives if they fight the Power Rangers here and now, but they'll lose more including their lives if they don't.
I really like the final battle where at first it's Tori/Blue Rainger against the Power Rangers herself. It's really cool, I always like those battles of one against the world; for a while it almost looks like Tori has the upper hand but unfortunately it doesn't last once the Rangers get the drop on her. But then of course we comes down to a crowd pleasing moment when we see Loator and the rest come through and I'll admit it's the oddest team I've ever seen but then again I have seen stranger super hero teams; for once were actually routing for the monsters to win against the Power Rangers, man wrap your head around that.
Rating: 4 stars
