![]() Really, though, she just doesn’t have the energy to think about fixing anything that doesn’t come with directions on the box. She says she likes to leave the fancy stuff to me. But this is about all the cooking Mom chooses to do. Especially since it’s been in the freezer awhile-the edges are dry and crusty. It’s kind of hard to watch The Great British Bake Off over plates of Stouffer’s lasagna. Now she just has to convince her mom that this town might just be the best thing that ever happened to them! Excerpt It all feels like one challenge too many, until Ellie starts to make her first-ever friends. Except she’s not just the new kid-she’s the new kid in the wheelchair who lives in the trailer park on the wrong side of town. If she’s not writing fan letters to her favorite celebrity chefs, she’s practicing recipes on her well-meaning, if overworked, mother.īut when Ellie and her mom move so they can help take care of her ailing grandpa, Ellie has to start all over again in a new town at a new school. The thing is, Ellie has big dreams: She might be eating Stouffer’s for dinner, but one day she’s going to be a professional baker. That surprises some people, who see a kid in a wheelchair and think she’s going to be all sunshine and cuddles. In the tradition of Wonder and Out of My Mind, this big-hearted middle grade debut tells the story of an irrepressible girl with cerebral palsy whose life takes an unexpected turn when she moves to a new town.Įllie’s a girl who tells it like it is. “An honest, emotionally rich take on disability, family, and growing up.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) What if Ravi was a big wrestling fan (but hid it from his mom) and that’s why he wanted to sneak away? Then he could give pointers to Devon from a distance? As it is it feels like the already misplaced conflict of the episode is forgotten about for ten minutes and then casually resolved at the end.“A big-hearted story that’s as sweet as it is awesome.” -R.J. It’s odd more wasn’t done to tie-in the conflict of the episode with the Zord action. We don’t see Ravi desperate to save Devon because of his actions he acts like he normally does in fights. It also doesn’t matter much to the meat of the episode. ![]() It’s a shame because Ravi was arguably the most fleshed out of the whole team and this just doesn’t line-up with what we’ve already learned. Seeing Ravi so blatantly disregard orders feels like it was created solely to generate some conflict. He hid his art for years because of his mom telling him art was pointless. He broke up with his girlfriend because of the “Rangers don’t date Rangers” rule. I’d say this shows a new side to his character but from the very first episode it was establish Ravi followed the rules to a fault. He’s desperate to see weight lifting and shirks his duties to do so. This all comes down to Ravi acting wildly out of character. While it’s good times to watch the wrestling match it isn’t really rooted in an engaging plot. Unfortunately the plot of the actual episode doesn’t match up with the fun of the Zord battle. Power Rangers Beast Morphers Season 2 Episode 6 Review: The Blame Game By Shamus Kelley They aren’t as common these days but in older seasons they’d regularly have episodes that used as much Sentai footage as possible to save on budget. Watching Zords that are usually portrayed as slow and lumbering in a fast paced wrestling match? With all the extra commentary? That’s brilliant and cleverly disguises that this is a traditional Sentai footage burning episode. They keep changing it up, adding new opponents for Devon to fight and just taking it completely over the top. Having a Zord fight take up a whole episode is already rare but then making that Zord battle a wrestling match? That’s incredible! ![]() Traditionally these fights are cut and paste and rarely go longer than a few minutes. It’s a shame this is what people will focus on when the Zord fight was genuinely one of the most unique in the series history. It’s a good instance of the show using its own universe and making it feel like it’s all connected, even in small ways. It’s nice that Power Rangers Beast Morphers remembers they existed and gave us this little nod. Originally created in MMPR, the Games were basically the Olympics and were used to write Kimberly out of the show. Sadly not the unique Zord battle but the mere reference to the Pan Global Games. ![]() This POWER RANGERS BEAST MORPHERS review contains spoilers.įirst off let’s talk about the biggest thing this episode will be remembered for. ![]()
