"And... Action" discussion thread

[Red Ranger 123]

Discuss the new episode of RPM.

'And Action' is a good episode. For the first time we see the behind the action of filming an episode of RPM. It's the first time the viewers get to see what it take to make an episode.:D

It was a nice treat I guess, but this shouldn't have been an actual "episode." It seems like something that would be on the DVD set IMO.

I like the fact they "stayed in character" while they are filming this show for us. Though I would have preferred an actual episode...I like how they showed us the finish project at the end .

I really like how they did it. They didn't just go "I'm Milo Cawthorne and I play Ziggy! I am an ACTOR! THIS SHOW IS ALL FAKE KIDS!" I voted awesome just because for a filler episode it is and filler episodes are inevitable so you might as well make them good.

I've enjoyed this episode ... made me laugh a lot :D

I thought some of the bits were a bit weak but I was kind of expecting science :P.

Bloopers totally made up for it, nothing could replace "READY?!" "not yet.." :P.

I thought this episode was neat, though I thought it was weird that they stayed in character. It was almost like they were saying, "We're real, kids, but we can't fight evil without the help of a film crew!" Kids aren't dumb; when they see cameras, microphones, and wires they can figure it out really quickly. Staying in character would at best be pointless and at worst be confusing. However, one part I really liked that wouldn't have been possible if they stepped out of character was the short scene where the Grinders were taking a break, Tenaya 7 showed up in a bad mood, and they instantly sprung into action to pamper her. I also liked the part where Ziggy bribed Dr. K with Mr. Marshmallow. :D

Final Thought: I noticed that Flynn got out of his Hummer on what would be considered the passenger side in the United States. Has he been doing that the entire season, or did he just do it in this episode? Sometimes I don't notice certain details.

i think it was an awesome filler episode and who else noticed ziggy's line when they where watching the clip. Looks like It's Morphing time!!

[2580]

I did and it was a nice touch. :)

I think NZ cars are right hand drive like here in the UK so I would imagine they're using those. Sorry American folk who drive on the wrong side (as determined by the minority) :P.

Yeah! Marge Simpson's got a nerve,saying WE drive on the wrong side! The Japanese are cool like us too!

Nah,sorry Americans! It's OK! Anyway back on topic,I think it was good that they stayed in character. It would have really rubbed it in that it was all fake if they'd have said they were actors. It was a fun way of doing a behind the scenes special.

i was just rewatching the episode and noticed something. wen theyre watching the fight at the end, i hear one of the rangers say "I think its Morphing Time". not sure if the reference was intentional but i caught it
