History Recap / MightyMorphinPowerRangersS1EP20GWEPart4EclipsingMegazord

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: A bit where Bulk moans that [[IWantMyMommy he wants his mommy]] and Skull repeats "Yeah, I want your mommy!" Given that Bulk gives him a DoubleTake, it was probably intentional.

* {{Determinator}}: In spite of all the above, Jason and Alpha are the only ones that decide that 10% chances are better than none at all and vow to keep fighting. In the next and last part, after discovering Tommy is the Green Ranger and realizing he's under a spell, more than ever Jason tells the others they ''can't'' give up and must save Tommy.

* CurbStompBattle: The first unequivocal defeat of the Megazord in the series, due to being outnumbered three to one and Rita draining it's natural power source. Served as an unsettling {{Foreshadowing}} that for any type of Zords, they weren't as invulnerable as the audience initially thought, and that in fact for them AnyoneCanDie.

* WhamShot: A giant-sized Tommy emerging on the Megazord fight can count for some. A better example would be Scorpina's change from an admittedly sexy Asian woman to a [[OneWingedAngel grotesque scorpion thing]].

* SkewedPriorities: As Goldar attacks Angel Grove, Bulk refuses to leave the Youth Center, or let Skull for that matter, until his ice cream is finished. Only when an i-beam falls on the counter (just missing them) that he decides to split.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Scorpina, upon growing to giant size.

* OneWingedAngel / ScaryScorpions: Scorpina's ultimate form is revealed when she grows to giant size, becoming a hideous [[BigCreepyCrawlies bipedal scorpion monster]].

* InformedFlaw: While amusing, Bulk's claim of Skull [[DrivesLikeCrazy driving like a maniac]] doesn't really ring true (even if he doesn't have a license, which is never brought up one way or another in-series). In actuality his driving's not half bad. He may have actually driven crazy off screen.

* OneWingedAngel: Scorpina's ultimate form is revealed when she grows to giant size, becoming a hideous [[BigCreepyCrawlies bipedal scorpion monster]].
* ScaryScorpions: See OneWingedAngel above.

* DarkestHour: For the Rangers; losing their Zords definitely struck a blow. This will become a recurring theme in later seasons, where losing the Zords always makes the rangers give up. Also Zordon is now more distant than he was in the last three episodes. Plus they can't believe that Tommy is actually their enemy.

* LiteralMinded: When Bulk and Skull were about to be pushed over the cliff, Bulk cried they were going to be history. Skull asked him if he meant like famous, only for Bulk to state "like dust".
* NoOSHACompliance: Skull lampshades the lack of seatbelts on American buses, while being jostled and thrown around by a giant Goldar.
* OneWingedAngel: Scorpina has one when she gets giant, becoming a hideous bipedal scorpion monster.
* SkewedPriorities: Bulk refuses to leave the youth center, or let Skull for that matter, until his ice cream is finished. Only when an i-beam falls on the counter (just missing them) that he decides to split.

** In-universe seeing that Tommy is the Green Ranger is one for the team.
* WhatTheHellHero:
-->'''Alpha''' (after Zack says that Rita won): No rangers, I cannot accept that. '''Zordon''' would not accept that!

ht to help cripple the Megazord.

* {{Diversion}}: Scorpina and Goldar distracting the Rangers so that Tommy could re-sabotage the Command Centre, lose Zordon again and then join the fight to help cripple the Megazord.

* MomentOfAwesome: Alpha trapping the Green Ranger in a force field may not be the most awesome thing on the show, but for the robot it comes close.

* BigYes: Rita screams this to Finster when he asked if she wants to use Green Ranger instead of one of his monsters.
