So we got to see a lot of Jack this week. We saw Jack take advantage of his leadership privilages. But at the end he learned that being a good leader means setting the good example. This episode futher helps Jack learn responsibility . It will undoubtably end up being a cruical building block for the character. Also it teaches kids a  good lesson as well. This episode also futher demonstrates how Commander Cruegar  lets his cadats learn on their own. He never openly critizes Jack when he obviously wasn't happy with his abuse of authority.. He let the team decide whether Jack was a good leader or not. Than he let Jack realize his mistake on his own before sending him into action.  So A Squad is MIA. This means B Squad is on their own. Personally I would have rather have had A Squad stick around. That way B Sqaud would have had to adjust to being just the back ups. Would have made for interesting story telling.  I don't like the addition of Mora. She dumbs down the villians too much. In the priemere Gruumm was tottally bad ass. But this episode showed him to be a bit goofy around Mora. Hopefully any silliness is  contained to his scenes with Mora.  Broodwing seems interesting. I  wonder if he will betray Gruumm down the line. The Zord battle was londer this time and we got to see more of the zords. It's interesting how the Rangers defeated the robot than fought the monster  on the ground. Its a reverse of the usual formula we usually see. Overall the action in this episode was good. The episode itself was well done and provided a interesting look into the Jack character.
