The Campire Scene in "Countdown to Destruction"

There is one flaw to "Countdown to Destruction" that has always bothered me. The campfire scene at the beginning of the second part ( the one with the civilians wondering about where the Ranger's we're) was so poorly acted. The guest actors they got for that just came off as way too over the top. It didn't jive as well with the more serious tone of the episode. And really with the acting for the series at the time. The ending stuff with the civlians saying they we're Power Rangers was fine. But the campfire scene was just too untentionally campy. Aside from Bulk and Skull. Who we're actually dramatic.

They had to make the other campers campy to really show off Bulk & Skull's drama. It's called compare and contrast.
