The Nitpickers Guide for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season Two
The format for each entry is: place the error occurred, time in episode
the error occurred : what the actual error is. A couple of nitpicks
are in a different format to this, but everything should be understandable.
The terms beginning, middle, end refer to the nitpicks placing in
the episode, roughly equating to: before the monster arrives, while the
monster is around, and after the monster is destroyed respectively.
