This episode had a lot of interesting parts. First, shortly after the opening scenes where the Power Rangers played basketball in a simulated basketball court, we still see tensions among Darkonda, Ecliptor, & Astronema. Eventually, after Ecliptor & Darkonda destroy a satellite that the Rangers built to find Zordon's whereabouts, Darkonda attacks Ecliptor & then takes over his body to become Darkliptor! Also, when the Rangers fight Darkliptor, after Ashley & Cassie become crystallized, Darkliptor destroyed the lightstar hologram on the Blue Ranger's helmet, causing T.J. to lose consciousness. Of course, Carlos then attacks Darkliptor & gets crystallized.
I thought T.J. did a really good job acting as if he lost much of his memory, including his own identity. In fact, he did such a good job that poor Andros was forced to return to battle without T.J. after morphing in front of him. Right before he morphed, I thought Andros might cry in desperation after T.J. denied that he was the Blue Power Ranger. But eventually T.J. eventually regained his senses, teleported to the fight scene, & morphed to help Andros & the other Rangers defeat Darkliptor for now.
On the humorous side of things, I thought it was pretty funny how Darkonda goaded Ecliptor into attacking him in Astronema's presence, thus forcing Ecliptor to accept Darkonda as his equal. Obviously, Ecliptor was not happy.
Rating of this episode: 5 out of 5.
