You see, I described the Christmas episode to a friend. I'll let you imagine what happened afterward.
I like Jyuken Sentai Gekiranger, although I think Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is better. The Christmas episode is probably the reason Gekiranger is not on par with Shinkenger in my eyes. It's one thing to kidnap the English-speaking son of a Korean diplomat. It's another to force him to celebrate Christmas. But dressing up as the boy's dead mother in an effort to cheer him up and get him to celebrate Christmas... what the deuce were you thinking, Ken‽ |

Here we go, all the pieces on the board, for the battle for all the marbles. The end to one of the greatest Sentai is coming up, and more than a few hot manly tears will be shed.

With Den-O's hatred of Gekiranger Christmas,sounds like we got a Carl of our own on this thread.

Fell behind a bit, caught up now though.
Geki christmas was pretty dumb, Although I admire Ken for trying and the final gesture was pretty touching/awesome... the rest was dumb. And you know how you guys feel when you hear an american in a Japanese show and it sounds weird? Yeah, we have that whenever a british/english actor pops up in an American show, 9 times out of 10 it just sounds odd. The two parter on the other hand was awesome. I like how it was paced so that it was a two parter but didn't particularly end on a cliffhanger. strange I know, but I just dug it. |

I was watching the Christmas episode and I was all "This isn't that bad. I wonder what those guys are talking about." Then Ken came down stairs in the dead mother's cloths. Then it all made sense. I also love that Ken goes on this long heart felt speech about how he lost his mother too, but the kid doesn't know Japanese! What is the point?
But then Christmas Mele showed up...and Mele makes everything better. |

I'm guessing the whole point of Ken and Carl not being able to understand each other was to show that the Christmas spirit can conquer the language barrier?I dunno,the episode was enjoyably bad and Mele was in a Mrs.Claus outfit so I can't complain.
But DAT 2-parter.Jan's final moments with his dad were really touching and he even got a nod of approval from Kenji Ohba's ghost.I can also see why Nobuo recommended Jan and Rio's destined battle,SO GOOD.Seeing the two actors fight hand to hand like that was amazing. Kinda sad that Gou's training was for nothing.He took out that one guy and was immediately beaten by Rio.Hopefully it gets to be used again in these last couple of eps. So pumped for next week.Can't wait to plow through the final 4. |
