Review of "Satellite Search" 

A pretty interesting episode. Elgar shot down a satellite because Astronema claimed that it "knows too much." I wonder what she meant by that? From the newsgroup discussions, the satellite probably held data about Zordon. Anyway, after NASADA told the Rangers what happened, the Rangers went to the crash site on some planet which had a very hot climate. The unmorphed fight involving Elgar was acted out nicely.

After Ashley found the downed satellite & got the data disks, the Rangers were ambushed & captured by Astronema. It seemed that Astronema made the capture of the Rangers look easy. While the Rangers were tied down, Alpha 6 noticed that the Rangers were in danger of being eaten by Clawhammer. For the second consecutive episode, it looked as if Alpha 6 is taking an active role. This time, he actually initiated the transformation of the Astro Megaship into the Astro Megazord & even controlled the Megazord to help save the Rangers from Clawhammer (with D.E.C.A.'s help of course). Seeing Alpha 6 do what he did was pretty impressive. The Rangers did manage to break free & save the Megazord before Clawhammer could push it into lava. In a spectacular battle, the Rangers prevail once again, tossing Clawhammer into its fiery grave.

At the end, I thought it was funny when Astronema forced poor Elgar to play with Scrutley when she found out that Elgar lost the disks. This reminded me of the times when Divatox would force Elgar into the water when Elgar screwed up. Overall, this episode was pretty good, especially where the Rangers were able to get out of a very tight situation involving Clawhammer. I even like how we're left wondering what was on the damaged disk at the very end of this episode.
