"PATH OF THE RHINO" (PR-1619): White Ranger, Rhino Power

This episode was sorta like....what if Nova Ranger had joined SPD for the last quarter of the season, or if Omega had been something more besides a prop.

The premise of the episode wasn't bad. Dominic's an old buddy of RJ's from the academy and had left to go search the world and find his place. He comes to Ocean Bluff for a visit and wants to join the team after seeing our heros in action. The way it was written and that they had very limited time constraints was another matter. More time before Dom's first morph probably would've been better.

The Rangers didn't even use weapons against Crocovile in the first fight. They could've done more to show he was too tough for them, before the fight was halted and the darn skateboarder got in the way. I thought they would show the rhino spirit. -_-

No team roll call for once, but the bike is used yet again. And yeah, playing double-duty as this years battlizer, appearing in every scab episode thus far.

I liked how Dom warmed up to Fran pretty quick and how she was worked into the ep. Casey's change of heart about him felt too rushed. And Dom has a cool personality, but his joking around was a bit over-the-top, I thought (considering he was trying to get them to LIKE him).

JKP has some sweet rides, but how many times can Tommy's jeep be repainted?! <_<

Another episode just missing a 5/5.
