New Show Review: Lab Rats Elite Force

Its two, two, two shows in one!

Instead of trying to explain the final episode of MightyMed, lets just say that Kaz and Oliver got some superpowers and the show ended as a cliffhanger.

In the final episode of Lab Rats Bionic Island, Marcus is finally vanquished and Mr. Davenport decides to send Adam and Leo back to the Academy while Bree and Chase are asked, “Are you ready to start your new adventure?”  Said new adventure is the combination of Mighty Med and Lab Rats.  Its like whack-a-mole.  You keep hitting Lab Rats and it keeps popping up in a new form!

Again, we have a show about a series of bionic heroes and superheroes working together to keep the world safe.

In the pilot, Mr Davenport and his team have moved to Centium City and now Bree and Chase are teamed with Kaz, Oliver and Skylar to form, you guessed it, a new elite force of crimefighters.   If you never watched Mighty Med or even followed it closely, there are just enough hints here that something happened to Mighty Med and all of the villains are free (or something like that).

Booboo Stewart and Ryan Potter (remember Supah Ninjas?  Yep, that’s him) are the villains of the day.  They are shapeshifters who are seeking to take out the fantastic five.  At one point, they shapeshift into a revolving ring (I kid you not) but the elite force freezes the ring.  While the elite force congratulations themselves, Roman (Stewart) and Riker (Potter) escape, ready to continue wreaking havoc on Centium City in some eternal battle of good versus evil.

Hal Sparks is back as Mr. Davenport, and his “look how great I am!” routine is tiresome at best.  I guess we will never find out what happened to Tasha!

The whole show seems like its been there, done that.  I wonder how long it will be before Principal Perry makes a guest appearance.

I think its time, already, to retire this Elite Force.
