"FEAR AND THE PHANTOMS" (PR-1623): Dai Shi's 'Dark Wish'

Now this is what I had been waiting for all year.

Nice debut for the Phantom Beasts and 8 warriors. Introing a bunch of villains at once is always interesting. "That one sounds familiar." "Who was that?" "I dunno about THAT name." Liked how they turned on Jellica and quickly killed her.

Great focus on Lily, unmorphed and morphed. The dancing was vintage MMPR, although I didn't care for the actress much. What's Antonia Preeble doing these days? >_>

So the Rangers have been paying regular visits to their Masters? Would feel a little less outta left field if we had actually seen this on-screen more. Nonetheless, nice to see the Masters again and their kidnapping was pretty good.

Master Phant especially looked like he was in pain when they were getting infused with the Rin Sin power. Liked the desperate plea from Swoop to get Jarrod to resist Dai Shi's influence. Our heros regroup and... POOF! Spirit Rangers! Yeah, Elephant Ranger is pretty much perfect, while Shark and Bat look more funny with the large helmets.

Just where is The Temple of Dai Shi?

5/5. Best damn episode of PR (non-teamup anyway) since "ONE GETS AWAY."
