Green with Evil October 1993
What made it great: For older Power Rangers fans, this was *the* episode. The episode that got us hooked on Power Rangers. The episode that made Power Rangers cool. Sure Power Rangers had all the elements we love about the show beforehand - colorful heroes fighting villains, giant monsters and robots stomping around the city. But a super hero team is only as cool as its villains. The best we could come up with at this point was a Japanese witch whose lips didn't match her words. Then came the Green Ranger. A badass version of the Rangers (well, as badass as Power Rangers got back then) who took them all on single handedly, and did it with style. What do you do with a villain this cool? Why you turn him into a hero of course. So Tommy quickly became the fan favorite and eventually became the greatest Ranger ever. Green with Evil brought out the best in Power Rangers and stands to this day as one of the all time greatest mini-series
