Episode 04: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Season 3) / Mighty Morphin’ Alien Rangers
We’ve reached the end of the most iconic era of Power Rangers—and it goes out with a bang and a whimper! This season has some of the highest points of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Lord Zedd invading the Command Center, Lord Zedd fighting Tommy, and a backdoor pilot for Masked Rider (see our crossover episode with Henshin Men for more on that). Amy Jo Johnson left the series, so fans (like Michael) had to say goodbye to their beloved Kimberly and hello to her Aussie replacement, Cat. That story should’ve been used as the model for future departures going forward, but sadly it wasn’t. This also saw the introduction of new enemies both comical (Rito) and serious (Master Vile). But the season ends with a weird miniseries called Mighty Morphin’ Alien Rangers, which sees the regular cast turned into children and replaced with extraterrestrial Rangers who talk like they’re always underwater. All this and a lot of talk about family.
