Speaking of which, I just finished the Master Phant episode. Some additional thoughts on the series:

*That Battilizer looks incredibly painful.
*Episode 6 was hilarious (mainly because I kept imagining everything they said was hidden innuendo).
*Dai Shi's costume is better than Rio's in some ways (the shoulders and covering of the armpits) and worse in others (the thin armoring of the arms). Also, he cannot do the Rio cape flare.
*I like Theo.

Now, onto the infamous kite episode!

I love how the episode about the kite is a bit of cloth in the sentai footage. The fuck was Kalish doing?

Master Phant is so fucking cool.

RPM is pretty cool, though.

But you should totally watch Turbo.

Been watching like an episode of Turbo a week since I only saw the last few episodes of that series as as kid. I just thought Samurai has cool designs, or rather they borrow cool designs, so maybe it would be okay. I know that is flawed logic lol. I think it was the first one in HD too.

Yeah? I remember seeing the premiere and I thought that it was cool since Tommy was back and they connected the series but only saw maybe 10 episodes total.

The only legitimate cool characters in Samurai are the Green Ranger and Antonio, Antonio's one of my favorite rangers THAT'S how cool he is too me.

Just finished up the Master Fin episode. Some additional thoughts:

*Master Swoop is awesome.

*Casey was a bit of a jerk in the kite episode. Seriously, you could have been so much nicer to Josh.

*Am I the only one who thought that R.J. smoked about 10 joints in the Master Fin episode when Lily and Theo found him on his chair?

*I really like the relationship between Master Fin and R.J.; it reminds me of the one between myself and my dad.

*Have I mentioned how awesome R.J. is? Because R.J. is a magnificent example of a Power Rangers character, and superior to Gou.

Now to the first episodes of Jungle Fury I ever watched; the Spirit Masters arc!

Since you don't wanna read a dissertation on it here is my general feelings about the show without going into specific details.

I just don't think the show...cared about itself.

Power Rangers viewership was allegedly in huge decline and Tommy came back for a favour, lucky for them DINOSAURS which means Power Rangers nostalgia...yeah!

And at first, it genuinely seems they are trying to make something with their show and refusing to fall back on that safety blanket but once the interesting aspects are established it's like they then realised what they knw all along..."hey but NOSTALGIA even if we make the biggest pile of shit we have Tommy and Dino Rangers and everyone will love this show, so why are we even trying, again?"

And thus the end of anything interesting or with depth as the show just seems to take random stories and chucks in sentai footage whether it fits or not, taking everything else and flattening it to cardboard cut out versions.

Well, I finished the Spirit Master arc. Some additional thoughts:

*What if one of the Rangers was afraid of death? Or God? Or something controversial?

*My dad watched bits of the episode with me, and the only thing that bothered him in the final fight scene (aside from the fact that it was a "mindless fight scene") was where the Rangers were getting the fuel for the jets on the Jungle Master Mode suits. I told him to stop questioning the physics of a universe where you can breathe on the Moon.

Now... off to bed.

No, PR makes more sense than one episode of Akibaranger

So I just got to the Boom centred episode of SPD and it was...pretty awful I have to say.

That being said Orange is my favourite colour so we need a real orange Ranger already!

So they just started phoning it in? I guess I can see that happening.
