Power Rangers Samurai - Episode 16 - "Boxed In"

A slight step down from last weeks build up, but still good overall. I really enjoyed the fight scenes, especially the original fights (wire fu and explosions FTW), Bulk and Spike were especially funny today (I busted out laughing when the granny ran fast), and last but not least...amazing scenes between Deker and Jayden.

For the most part, I think I enjoyed the fights more than anything. They were beautifully choreographed, and the camera work/direction was flawless. Compared to last weeks, I give this ep a 4/5.
 
Wait... What just happened? Oh that's right. Nothing.

Definitely a step down from last week. After all of the build up from the previous episode, everything just kinda fizzles. Deker just lets Jayden go after doing nothing AgAiN? The Black Box gets thrown to the sidelines.. and after the big gigantic fight which includes a powerful new attack, the MOTW just runs away without a scratch.

The Rangers are bed ridden again?! I honestly think they're doing overkill with the battle damage. It makes the Rangers appear weak and fragile.

The Bulk and Spike scenes are kind of underwhelming. They're not really funny and rarely go anywhere. The scene that had the granny jumping and running across the street came off as overly cheesy. How many times can they say they're going to save the day and run away from a fight and have it not get old? I know Bulk and Skull's humor usually wasn't that rewarding either but still...

I also thought it was stupid that Xandred lectured Octoroo for actually thinking which nearly succeeded in destroying four of the Rangers before Xandred pulled the MOTW out of battle. "Thinking only gives us headaches." Well I guess that explains Tzachor's reasoning.

Like I said, it was a step down, but I did enjoy a few things. The scenes in the cave between Jayden and Deker were good. I liked how Jayden tried to convice Deker that he always has a choice and it even effected his decision later to join the rest of the group. Antonio was decent enough in his scenes as well. Everyone else was kinda painful to watch.

I also for once really enjoyed the fight scenes. (Zord battles excluded) It seemed like they actually put some effort into doing some choreography. Hopefully we get to see more of that in the future. The attack Antonio did that combined the others attacks was pretty nice looking as well.

Overall, it was pretty anti-climatic but better than most episodes this season. 3/5.
 
This episode is like sex. You are close to the orgasm and boom, nothing happens...Your disappointed and you tell that person to GTFO!

..Much like this episode. But It's a good thing. I would hate to have such great momentum and not see a new episode until August.
 
wait, is this the 1st PRS episode with american-footages fighting scene?
Coz I hardly remember if there's any of them from the past episodes
 
I can't my mind off that fight scene. I know we've had better original fights in the past, but for Samurai that was really top notch. We need more.
 
Wow, I guess people really have checked out of Samurai.

Oh well, their loss. I mean, the show really has improved but I suppose it's a matter of personal preference.
 
Probably. Now, do you think that the next episode will continue off of yesterday's episode and integrated to the "Dream World" sequence, or will it be a North-American made up one with Super Red Samurai Ranger's debut and the Samurai Battle Claw Megazord (Dai-Kai Shiken-Oh)?
