Well that's pretty self explanitery. I got Lost Galaxy on DVD for a real good price, and I decided unlike Mystic Force I'm going to blog about it as I watch it. Now I've seen the series before, but that was waaaaay back when it first aired. I'm aware of the behind the scenes stuff and troubles the production had too, but unless they spring to mind while I'm watching them I probably won't talk about them. Oh and speaking of springing to mind, that's pretty much what this is going to be. Don't expect detailed synopsis and analysis. I'm just jotting down whatever comes to mind. So, let us begin.
Episode 1-Quasar Quest part one. -Cgi Space is CGI! -Five swords in a stone, that's like five Excaliburs. -Onionhead! Okay I know his name's furiouso but I'm calling him Onionhead. -Out of the Power Rangers themes I actually remember this is my favorite. Granted the list is this, the original, Mystic Force and Ninja Steel. Also that awesome video someone did using the Lost Galaxy theme with the Kyuranger opening. -CGI stuff, New villain costumes for both bosses and mooks, not bad Spaceship sets... Damn Saban was feeling flush with cash or something. -For a one way colonization trip where everyone needs to be able to contribute once they get there, and they'll need to worry about keeping the gene pool diverse there sure are a lot of old people going. I mean look at Leo. Young, Healthy, going to be a Lawyer... Well two out of three ain't bad. -Some grow into the roles of being rangers. Some show they were already worthy by helping an old lady. Who then talks about how the new world needs young people like you but doesn't give you their ticket. Seriously lady, you've got a good chance of dying before they even get to the new planet! Why are you allowed on board? -Wait why do they need to find a planet? The Megaship should have tons of information on other planets. Didn't it occur to Nasada to just ask the Space Rangers to find a good uninhabited M-Class? -Man it was so weird seeing Bulk without Skull. Honestly the two's character arcs concluded perfectly at the end of In Space. But see, Leo balances out the fact you are already one healthy colonist of child-making age behind. Plus all the old folks your either going to have to mulch the corpses of or jettison into space. -Ahh Kendrix. I don't normally prefer blondes, but put a pair of glasses on them and make them smart... -That was a quick clothes change. See he's already cut out to be a ranger. -I have to wonder if they decided to make the US mooks bug theamed before or after they got the Starship Troopers props. -Dang Saban must really have made a good profit off of In Space. I mean I don't remember the dropships ever showing up again, but hey. -Wait I just realized Terra Venture has a freaking rock quarry in it. Either that is one big ass ship, or someone had really odd priorities. -And Cole is more observant than the actual soldiers, since he noticed the BLATENTLY OBVIOUS BOMB. Also get used to running from explosions. -AMAZINGLY CONVIENENT WORMHOLE! -Nice tumbling work by the Stingwinger stuntmen. But damn it I was hoping to see what happens when someone uses a normal gun on a mook. -Oh wait laser guns. Never mind. -Star Trek ship interiors, Starship Troopers props, Scorpius for the Farscape refference... We just need a Cylon and something from Babylon 5, and an Egyptian warp portal. -Next Time On Power Rangers: We spoil Mike, who's not in the opening is going to die! I'll probably stop putting my thoughts down as I watch these after the first few episodes, and just do my thoughts after I'm done with the episode. That'll likely make it shorter, but more enjoyable for me to watch. Adding Episode 2 Quasar Quest Part 2 -Oh wait. Rock Quarry was on earth. Okay last minute training there makes less sense. -Technically you didn't leave a team member behind. They left you. After you left Kendrix and Leo next to an obvious bomb. -So the Astro Megaship got put in a museum. Rather than reverse engineering it's FTL capabilities. -I'm just going to get this out of the way. Saban always seems to blow up my favorite megazords, even when they survive in Japan. -Kai, you are the only one who's name I didn't remember. Also what was that flyer doing on the dropship? -Well Alpha Six your the second best Alpha series android I've ever seen. -Only five proper rangers and they still found a way to introduce the Green ranger last. -You are on a spaceship that turns into a giant robot. There is no part of Kai's story that sounds improbably. Then again Damon is probably sick of people trying to take the ship for a joyride. -I'm sure Leo could totally have pulled one of the swords out if he'd been over there. And Mike probably would have told him not to. I think Mike gave Leo issues. -Damn it Onionhead, you don't need to throw a hissyfit! Just go to the store and buy your own Quasar Saber! I'm sure they made that toy. -Well Mike way to give your brother the Saber. And more issues. Probably should have done the I Believe In YOu Speech years ago. -Mike may have pulled his from the stone, but Leo activated the real power of the swords. Get ready for a color coded asskicking Onionhead. -Wow Kai stopped the guy behind him so he could elbow the mook in front of him, then elbowed the guy behind him. In other words Kai makes you wait your turn for your beating. -I think we finally got some Japanese footage with the stock footage of Leo powering up his finisher. -Don't worry Alpha. You'll be in Power Rangers for quite a while. Even Disney couldn't kill the franchise. -Mike lost his brother, but Maya lost everyone she knew and her planet. You are a dick Onionhead. -Next Time: What's in the giant cages? Oh heck we know from the opening. Last edited by Super Angillis; 10-16-2017 at 09:28 PM.. |

Time for Episode 3.
Race to the Rescue -Maya has super animal hearing powers, apparently. -Sorry Kai and Kendrix. this is a mission for people who's names don't begin with K. -I'm starting to think Scorpius is just some sort of collector. First the Quasar Sabers, now the Galactabeasts. -Well I guess Coghead isn't the monster of the week after all. -How did Kendrix and Kai get to the planet? -Is that an Elvis Impersonator Crayfish monster? Proof Elvis was an alien? -And now the Galaxy Rangers have made friends for life. -And the villains can move faster than the heroes. -Hey I think this is the only time we see anything resembling conventional forces try to engage the monster of the week. Too bad it didn't work. -And here come the heroes. Leo can shoot fire, which is cool. -Uh oh flask of green liqued. I see how our monsters grow this time. -And the Galactabeasts show up. Poor pink kitty, she's the only one who's mouth isn't articulated. There's some nice effects work here, with the Lion's feet breaking the pavement. Also the shaking off dirt, but I'm not sure why that's there. Did they emerge from the ground or break free of petrification in Gingaman? -And EvisCrawfish learns that you never ask something thats glowing and has fire swirling around it to take their best shot. -The Galactabeasts are actually a pretty unique concept in a lot of ways. They were the first time the Zords were explicitly living beings, and so far as I know the only set to be fully organic. Well most of the time. -And Trakeena. Daddy's little villain. They went a different route with her than I thought, but she's definitly one of the most interesting baddies in PR history. I do have to wonder how her parents met though. And it seems the writers wanted to explore that other path, since two years later we got Nadira. |

Well watched Episode four last night. Let's see what I remember about it.
Rookie in Red -Leo's trying to do real work and Kai is going to train him. I see this going well. -Dick move Leo, letting Kai take the fall for the sandwich. -Our Monster this week is a bug man who's opening his coat makes me think he's a flasher. I'm calling him Flasher. -I dunno a couple of locks and aluminum walls shouldn't be keeping a dangrous space monster out. Or anyone, that is not a secure weapons vault. Even without Leo being forgetful. -Oops, stretchy grabby arm. And Leo's taking the whole thing that's his fault hard. -Wait Onionhead, I thought Scorpius wanted the Quasar Sabers for himself, but now you want to destroy them and the Transdaggers? -Well I guess the sabers won't let evildoers use them. And off Leo goes. -And Leo gets caught, and the sabers get melted down. -Fakeout! Leo met up with the others and gave them the real sabers while fakes got melted. And now they got the Transdaggers. -How the heck did they even know about the Transdaggers, much less all the things they can do? It's not like this season had an all knowing mentor. -And they just chopped Flasher's arm off. That'll teach him to open up his coat and show of long floppy apendeges. -Chug! Chug! Chug! -So Terra Venture has has a cliffside for the Lion Galactabeast to burst out of? Seriously this is one crazy ship. -I hope the other Galactabeasts get to do something before we get the Zord upgrade. -Next Time: Somebody has a nasty case of gas. |

I'm back with a twofer tonight. So enjoy my ramblings.
Homesick -Uh oh someone has stopped Terra Venture's engines. -Wait kid with amazing tech skills on a spaceship? Oh god he's a Wesley! -Captain Stanton, throw him into space! There's still time to save us! -Well Damon's got a legit job. I guess he can relate to the kid because Kai did kinda shanghei him. -And our monster is a bug called the Gasser. -Everybody takes a nap. Except the rangers and Wesley. Damn it. -And now Wesley saves the ship by trapping Onionhead in a mall elevator. -The Rangers get space bumper cars. Okay. -Galactabeasts save the day! But get turned to stone. -And Transdaggers can make the Galactabeasts Zords. I have to wonder how Leo even knew that'd work. Not like the Transdaggers came with a manuel. Also I wonder how getting turned into machines and reconfiguring feels for the Galactabeasts. -Honestly it really looks like forming the Megazord and doing the sword finisher was overkill here. -And the Rangers take the kid back to Earth on the Megaship, where he will probably one day be killed by Venjix. Thus saving us from a Wesley. Though at least this kid didn't have time to become as bad. Next Time- Mike's not dead! The Lights of Orion -So is that Orion the Hunter, or Orion the Cowboy? -Huh forgot Trakeena could do her full armored form whenever she wanted. -Why is it the girls never get their own bikes? -LOL at Furio doing to costume change to a magician. -Hey Mikes not dead. Course I'm pretty sure that's not Mike. -So if the word Jeep is upside down because the tailgate is down, do they still need to pay jeep? And where did Onionhead and Trakeena get an old Army Jeep? - I don't blame Damon for hating being the Decoy. He's got a toolset. He looses a wrench in the underbrush, he's never finding it again. -The lights have been shut inside a cave for eons... The cave is on Terra Venture... Is Terra Venture Eons old? -A box in a box, in a cage, in a cave. Leo must have been thinking "c'mon!" -Much to no ones surprise (well the rangers) "Mike" was actually the monster of th week. I'm calling him barber pole. -Barber Pole, I don't think you should have pressed the brother button. -Chug! Chug! Chug! So do the monsters have to pee to shrink back down? -Putting up more of a fight than the last guy, but when the Megazord struck the batters pose, I knew what was coming. That plan backfired. -And we get a second finisher this season, with the Condor Galactazord turning into a crossbow. -Damon eating raw cookie dough carries the risk of Salmonlella. -Next Time- Kendrix goes Hollywood! |
