"ARISE THE CRYSTAL EYES" (PR-1622): Casey and Cop-Out

As much of a Jungle Fury supporter I've been, this show isn't suckering me. I was happy about this ep at first and was surprised by Grizzaka getting killed off before Jellica. Then I realized what happened and how it could've been better...

Nice little briefing about the Beast War by RJ. At least they bothered to show Fran, but give the poor girl a line or two! And scenes like this only get my hopes up more for future eps... >_>

Casey should've been morphed when he went to see Dr. Jennings, easily gotten the crystal eyes and then ambushed by Rinshi and Camille (Just as well, would've been funny if they had randomly met up). And since they had absolutely no time, Camille happens to see a pic of Dr. Jennings while doing the crossword. The Ranger Productions staff member who wrote this couldn't even bother to give Casey a last name?!

Casey didn't know the Booster/Rhino Morpher combo would work and just did it? -_- Why couldn't, I dunno, RJ have suggested it or something? Boy, it's getting more and more difficult watching this and trying to imagine what Jan is saying. Won't have that problem anymore after a couple weeks of reruns and I finally get ahead.

Best part of the episode was definitely the end. LOVED the zord battle. Flit's afraid of powered up Dai Shi, eh? And with Grizzaka's big, tough, all-talk attitude, it made his defeat that much sweeter.

3/5, for something that potentially could've been great, instead gets one of the biggest time-saving cop-outs.
