Power Rangers Ninja Steel "Galvanax Rise"

learned:

* pretty good writing. everything that is presented upfront comes back later in the back. like a bad ice cream sandwich.

* okay, this is the last episode, you don't have to hit us over the head with it.
Cosmo: kids, do you know what a hiatus is? let's spell it out together...

* Galvanax: take these teenagers away!
Victor and Monty: we were teenagers. but we didn't have attitude.

* Brody: i should have destroyed the magnet gun first. but hey, hindsight is 100/100.

* Brody: what's with the sword?
Mick: this is my secret, never-before-seen cosplay blade!

* Mick: i always wanted to ride bitch...

* Cosmo: we can't show this on a kid's show.
Levi: trotting us all up here on stage half-naked bound and gagged like sex dolls?
Cosmo: no, when you said you wanted to kill me.

* Sarah: can i at least make one last phone call to my mom?
Cosmo: what is your mom's name?
Sarah: Jodie Rimmer.
Cosmo: remember, the porn stars come onto this stage after Nickelodeon leaves.
been saving that joke for two weeks

* Madame Odius: is the megamag done? i need a new vibrator.
Monty: yes, my queen fox thing from Starfox.
Odius: i'm not a fox! don't lump me in with your Earth conventions. i am an alien creature with a designation you could never understand. not some lurid sex plaything, you damn furry!
Monty: have i upset you, my liege? please feed me some more of that alien slop. i haven't farted in ages.

* Monty: y'know, i'm actually quite cute. but i'll never be appreciated cos i'm forever lumped in with you, Victor, whom everyone despises, even your own mother.

* Victor: what's the difference between BasherBots and Kudabots?
Odius: seven hours in the chair.

* Brody: we can't keep running away.
Mick: why?
Chip Lynne: the set's only yea long.

* Redbot: good news, bad news. the comet is coming. it will destroy Galvanax. it will also destroy the Earth.

* Galvanax: truth is, i'm a collector. a completionist at that.

* Brody: i'm gonna do something now that will be epic. i'm gonna repeat what my flashback father said many years ago.
Mick: say it.
Brody: i forgot my line.

* get the ninja power stars from that birdbath!

* Rangers: who is that?
Mick: it's me! Mick! in my cosplay suit!

* Galvanax: GIVE ME BACK MY BELT!!! i earned that fair and square in a WWF ring in the '80s.

* Rangers: who is that?
father: call me Father. my name doesn't matter. before i go all in on the exposition, is there a bathroom? i've been holding in decades of gallons.

* Galvanax: subtext: i never knew my father.

* Galvanax: you never thought i'd drink a protein shake, did you?
Sarah: i drink protein shakes all the time.

* Father: GIVE ME BACK MY SON!!!

* Cosmo: it's the moment we've been waiting for all season! GIGANTIFY GALVANAX! whoops, no power. we forgot to pay the electric bill. that's what happens when you wait till the end of the season.

* Chip Lynne: have you noticed that every season the Rangers end up in this same exact little cove with the mountain and the shore and the ocean and the horizon? just interesting that's all. i'm sure it's some location in New Zealand.

* Victor: Kudabots don't go to the bathroom, Monty.
Monty: you mean...
Victor: yes.

* Cosmo: wait! Kudabots don't talk!
Monty: we do! you just never wanted to listen to our problems.

* Monty: i didn't want to do the fart scene. but it's Nickelodeon. their brand is farts and slime.

* Galvanax: curse you, Odius! is this because of prom?

* Sarah: it's an asteroid. or asspull-teroid.

* Hayley: are you seeing that thing spinning in front of us?
Calvin: no. remember? we're all on drugs.
Preston: i do two shows of this stuff.

* Galvanax: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
next-door neighbors: will you kids keep it down over there? we're trying to watch the Japanese version. so far all our old set gets is Archie Bunker.

* Rangers: *crying* our power stars! they're gone! they turned to dust!
Mick: you know we're all gonna die. we all turn to dust someday.

* Sarah: so we're done here?
Mick: one more season to go.
Sarah: what? rip up my contract, i want to do movies while the iron's hot. what's Zalman King's phone number? i want to do glossy softcore.

* reporter: so a scent that repels monsters? what's it called?
Monty: Monty. For Men. see? i'm cute.

* Mick: so i'm done here. you won't have my levels-way-above-your-acting with the ticks and broad line-delivery to your benefit anymore. the space taxi coming is taking me to the Ly Galaxy. that's a lie. i'm going back to Neighbours. there are only two words which would ever make me come back: Tenaya 7. if you count a number as a word.

* Mick: eat your grits.
Hayley: why did you look at me when you said that?

* Madame Odius: surprise! Christmas special spoilers! the new Doctor is a woman!

* sideliner: damn you, Samsung! the only time i'm ever gonna capture Lex Luthor photobombing something i take and the damn picture turns out blurry!!!

* Superman: i just noticed. what's up wih your voice, Flash? is it just the speed? where's the other guy?

* Luthor: what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?
Flash: the Big Bang.

* Luthor: *singing and putting on a curly black wig and revealing see-through BDSM suit* if i could turn back time...
