Power Rangers: They’re Just Like Us! Is The Plot Of This!

The 9 Strangest Episodes in the History of Power Rangers

#5. “Lost and Found in Translation” (Power Rangers Dino Thunder, Episode 19)

By the time Dino Thunder was on the air, Power Rangers was 500 episodes into this whole thing, and it was clearly time to get a little self-referential. That’s my theory at least, although you could probably make a case for someone taking a massive bong hit and then asking “Hey, man, what if the Power Rangers … watched Power Rangers?” The Internet cafe where the Rangers hang out gets a new cable system, and they discover that their adventures are being adapted into a Japanese show and their curiosity overtakes them. So, just so we’re clear here, the characters on this show watch (and critique) the show their show is based on as though it is based on their show instead. Did that just blow your mind, man? It should, because it’s actually pretty great.

Catnip is a hell of a drug.
