MMPR // 1.6 "Food Fight" [review]

            “Food Fight” marks the second appearance of the creepy school principal.  This guy seems like he was cast from the sex offenders list.  

            So at school they’re having a sort of party selling different foods to raise money for something that is mentioned but doesn’t really matter now.  (New gym mats?)  For whatever reason, Trini and Billy are at a table with Asian food and Skull and Bulk have that girl back in their gang as well as a new guy, a fourth member if you will.  Pointless banter ensues between the Power Ranger kids and Bulk and Skull, thus we, obviously, end up with a food fight because not only was that highly predictable but it’s the name of the episode.  (AHH!! SPOILERZ!!)

            The principal loses his wig (literally) and kicks everyone out.  At this point in time, it should be noted that Rita Repulsa is sick, but she still manages to send this sort of pig thing to destroy the earth.   This pig- which is basically just a big pig head with arms, legs and a Trojan helmet- has been said to be able to destroy the world because he will eat the earth’s entire supply of food within 48 hours.   48 hours?  Really?  I doubt he could VISIT every place in the world, let alone have time to stop there for a bite.

            After some fighting, the pig ends up back at the school and starts eating all the food from the whatever it is the kids were doing.   I distinctly saw him throw a bowl of salad on the floor and I’m pretty sure that’s food, but whatever.   I know we’re not going to get into technicalities, but does that mean he’s going to eat every living thing basically, because if you got cows and you got grass you can still have hamburgers.   He’s also going to have to eat a lot of seeds and things that those seeds produce.  I don’t think anyone really thought this notion entirely through.

            Anyway, they notice that the pig isn’t eating spicy foods, so they decide to fill him up on spicy foods and he blows up or something.   They go back to the food fight party and Alpha has given them some alien snacks that the principal just seems to love.  

            In our next episode:  The school principal is carrying Alpha’s robot-alien babies!!
