Recap / Power Rangers RPM S1E1 The Road to Corinth

Go To

The future. Earth has been overrun by the robotic forces of an evil computer virus, with a domed city as their last refuge. Meanwhile, two strangers try to reach the city before it lowers its shutters.


Tropes

  • Battle Discretion Shot: The first fight of the season (between Dillon and some Mooks) happens almost entirely off-screen, with the camera focusing on a lone flower Dillon had watered just beforehand.
  • Curse Cut Short: Flynn throws half a Grinder off the bus with something that his accent converts to either trash, scrap, or crap.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Several, with Colonel Truman and Corporal Hicks surveying the battle, Flynn hauling in a school bus full of survivors (establishing his heroism), and Summer riding in on a motorcycle with Scott just before the gate closes and the city's shields are activated.
  • He Didn't Make It: Scott, about his brother. He stays dead.
  • Out-of-Genre Experience: This is probably the least PR-feeling episode since "The Rescue Mission", with most of the episode focused on establishing the post-apocalyptic situation and almost no Sentai footage.
  • Stock Footage: Dr. K's narration uses footage from the Ninja Storm episode "Snip It, Snip It Good" when the Blue Bay Harbor council have their debate.
