Thunder Struck, Part 2
Airdate: 11/20/04
The Rangers return to find the Dino Lab
demolished and Elsa missing. They check the black box to
find out that Zeltrax is responsible.
Not long after, they show up as Zeltrax
unleashes his powerful Zelzord to attack Reefside.
Zeltrax holds Elsa captive inside the
Zelzord as she tries to talk some sense into him.
The Black Ranger invades the Zelzord to
save Elsa and stop Zeltrax once and for all, but he runs
into the Triptoids.
Meanwhile as the White Ranger fights the
Triptoids on the ground, the other Rangers use their
Megazords to confront the Zelzord.
Kira rushes off to help Tommy and they
both come to Elsa's rescue, but Zeltrax won't let them go
without a fight.
Zeltrax powers up into his ultimate form,
but the Yellow and Black Rangers are still finally able
to destroy him.
Zelzord however remains too powerful for
the Thundersaurus and Mezodon Megazords to stop on their
own.
Tommy instructs them to summon all of the
Dinozords to stop zelzord, but they must ultimately
sacrifice the Dinozords before they are all destroyed.
Conner and Ethan barely make out alive,
but it can't be over yet, can it?
Mesogog has survived and has absorbed
enough energy from the Dino Gems to become a powerful
monster.
"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" the
Rangers call out as they morph into action to take down
Mesogog.
Mesogog is too powerful for even the
Battlizer and his DNA copies itself to make clones and
four times the trouble.
The Power Rangers must summon all of
their power from their Dino Gems to unleash an
unstoppable power.
The Dino Gem power becomes a giant
dinosaur of energy which devours Mesogog and all of his
clones.
The Power Rangers Dino Thunder pose
victoriously as Mesogog is destroyed once and for all.
The Rangers used all of their Dino Gem
power to destroy Mesogog and they have returned to normal
with their Gems as no more than artifacts.
Cassidy and Devin have been taping the
entire battle and know their secret identities, but have
decided to give up the tape, because of their friendship.
Tommy reminds the others that their lives
may go back to normal, but they'll never be the same.
Devin and Cassidy show up at the prom
together.
Conner arrives there with Krista, the
"tree girl", because it's what's on the inside
that counts.
Ethan brings Angela a girl he met
standing in line for tickets to Asteroid Conquest 2.
Trent reveals that he will be going to
art school in the fall, and Tommy has decided to live the
quiet life, but we all know how that usually goes.
Elsa has taken over the position as the
new principal, and Anton asks her for a dance with an old
friend.
Tommy goes to the stage to introduce the
band and gives everyone props for all they've been
through during the year.
Kira is introduced and sings as everyone
enjoys the dance and memories are shared.
Comments:
Mesogog absorbed enough of the Dino Gems to
become a super powerful monster and the rest of
the power is used to destroy him. The Dino Gems
are completely powerless now although we know
they'll be recharged in 20 years.
Although, the Dragozord can't be seen in the
final scene with the Dinozords, it is implied
that all of the Dinozords were destroyed.
It would've been nice for some more American/New
Zealand footage in this episode. The White Ranger
was stuck fighting the Triptoids again.
Anton hinted that she and Elsa are old friends.
This probably explains why Mesogog used her to
begin with.
It was nice to see Kira get to sing at the dance
one last time as they reflected the memories that
they all had.
It's too bad Tommy didn't get a better send off
in this episode since this may be the last time
we'll see him apart from being in the suit in
"Wormhole". It would've been cool if
the series ended with Tommy getting a call and
the last thing you hear is him respond,
"Emperor Gruumm?"
Dino Thunder was a fantastic series with a lot of
great characters and showed ties to the past by
bringing Tommy onboard.
