MMPR // 1.7 "Big Sisters" [review]

            I feel like I somehow slept through a lot of this episode.  I don’t remember it exactly, but I do remember it enough because of the fact that it seems to the a staple for television shows of this time period and, well, it also is fairly formulaic already even only seven episodes into this season. 

            The female Power Rangers take on a “little sister” for unknown reasons and of course she’s a trouble maker because, you know, she has no dad and a crackhead for a mom… I don’t know, you know how things went back then. 

            So obviously Maria (this little sister) is kidnapped by Rita Repulsa because only the innocence of a child can open some magic treasure chest that has magic eggs in it, umm… Yeah, this even sounds ridiculous as I’m typing it, but wait, it gets worse.

            The Power Rangers must defeat a giant chicken in order to get Maria back.  You know, Maria, this annoying little sister they probably shouldn’t have saved anyway.   I’m pretty sure if you told the agency about the whole situation they’d be cool with her staying with Rita Repulsa.  Geez, the kid needs some structure and stability. 

            But yes, the Rangers really did fight a giant chicken, many years before Peter Griffin ever did.  And after they inevitably rescued Maria, they all had barbeque!  Good night, everybody.
