Its Halloween and weve got a mystery on our hands in the newest Dino Charge episode!

ThisPower Rangers Dino Chargereview contains spoilers.

Power Rangers Dino Chargeepisode 13.

Lets be real here.

I dont care what show it is.

I dont care how inventive they get.

Clip shows, as necessary as they are in TV, suck.

Even the king of clip shows,Xena: Warrior Princess, couldnt make them totally work.

Well, okay I wish clip shows didnt have to exist at all but if they need to happen?

Let them happen at the end.

Are these clip shows pretty much mandated by Nickelodeon?

Were stuck with them.

So how does this clip show fair?

It doesnt rely on the clips too much and weaves them into a nice little mystery.

Which Ranger was copied by Duplicator?

I honestly thought it wasnt even going to be a Ranger that was copied but a random civilian.

But the reveal that it was Koda?

Not what you expect out of aPower Rangersmystery.

Big kudos to Mark Litton and Chip Lynn for pulling that off.

That would have been… awful?

But hey, shes a young kid.

Of course shed think about it.

Instead we got Chase falling in love with himself.

!Thankfully that wasnt the case.

The real star of this week was Curio.

Man, we dont know a lot about that guy but hes all about candy.

He really just wants to have fun.

He could care less about terrorizing people.

He just wants to watch his shows with Poisandra and eat.

Watching TV and eating are his favorite things?

Yo Curio, youre my boy now.

Is Curio a boy?

Oh wait, does that have a negative connotation?

Uh… youre my living being!

Yeah, yeah thats right.

Four for you, Curio.

You know, for not doing a whole lot?

Sledge is still great!

He even feels the need point out, I am so smart!

And the plan to reanimate a monster solely to collect the bounty?

He can use the monsters as cannon fodder and still collect those sweet dollar bills.

Sledge knows whats up.

But yeah, this episode was above average for a clip show.

But it was still a clip show.

Cant win them all.

STRAY THOUGHTS:

-Kendall was REALLY into figuring out who was a fake.

That dramatic turn she had towards the end?

-I havent mentioned this for a while so Ill reiterate it.

EveryDino Chargeepisode should be bookended with a Ryan Steele voiceover from Tyler about how much he misses his Dad.

Come on Judd, I know you totally read these.

you’re able to still make it happen.

And hey, Mark Litton wrote for VR Troopers as well.

I dont ask for much.
