Default "Rocky Just Wants To Have Fun"

As a Rocky fan I hated this episode. It really undercut Rocky and made him lose a lot of credibility. They debuted him as a strong character and than had him act like a good. This isn't a storyline they would have given Jason. I feel like the sabatoged Rocky here. This kinda of stuff led to him being demoted in Zeo. Its a shame since he was such a great character that always got the short end of the stick.

I don't think so. Rocky was never that strong of a character to begin with. That was his problem. Besides he was under an evil spell. Not like he acted like a Jerk on purpose. They actually let him act like a Red Ranger sometimes. Even if he wasn't really a leader. Rocky was much better as Blue.

I liked the episode I thought it was pretty funny. Rocky was more of a funny character. We already had Tommy. Didn't need another Jason.

I wasn't a very big fan of MMPR anyway. The Characters just weren't strong enough. Space was the only good early season. Then the show didn't get good until Time Force.

Rocky just sucked. There is a reason why they didn't use him in "Forever Red".

It was kind of a weak episode but I think they were still trying to find their footing with the characters. They just had a massive cast change. Not easy for the writers to change on the fly.

Lets not forget that the cast change was so quick that the writers and producers had to change things on the fly.

I liked it.

Then again I liked those weird episodes where the monster turned almost everyone into some random object like pachinko balls or footballs.

And I think a lot of the problem was that like a lot of Season Two episodes they went out of their way to make Tommy the hero even though it was a Rocky focus episode, and they threw in Serpenterra just because he was in the Sentai footage.

Thats the part that killed it for me. I didn't mind the plot with Rocky though. It was fine for a one episode filler. Plus it let Steve Cardensa play with the character a little.

I liked Tommy as the bad ass White Ranger. It was a nice reward for fans who suffered through Tommy's power crisis and the prospect of him leaving the show for good. As White Ranger, it was his time to shine.

True but I just think if that's what they were going for why not just give Tommy a focus episode, and let this one be about Tommy.
