Excellent, less work for me then

Still not 100% sold on this show just yet. Good action, story has potential, but we'll see how they handle it. Soon as we get in to a bunch of "filler" episodes, it'll probably lose my interest.

Venjix survived inside the RPM Morphers.

Here's the thing.

Venjix and Messiah are basically the exact same idea. Venjix was a computer virus that became sentient ... so far, Messiah is the same (as far as we know). In the end of Power Rangers RPM, Venjix was able to download the "bio field" or basically "the morphing grid" and use it to "delete" Megazords and Power Rangers (Gem and Gemma aka Gold and Silver). Dr. K, the mentor of RPM, was able to put a virus into Venjix and basically hack the "bio field/morphing grid" and undo the damage Venjix caused. But the very last scene of the show has RPM Ranger Red's morpher blinking red while the Venjix music plays...leading you to believe that Venjix isn't gone, but is actually trapped inside the morpher.

They could easily translate (thus far) in to a sequel series knowing all that beforehand, but Saban and Tzachor have shown disdain for the Disney-era shows (even Wild Force by ignoring Rick Medina played "Cole" the Red Wild Force Ranger) and it's likely we'll ever get anything worthwhile.

"Clash of the Red Rangers" was done only because Saban bought the rights to the Go-Onger/Shinkenger movie and wanted to capitalize on the footage.

Reminding me of that just compounded my hate for Clash of the Red Rangers.

They aren't ignoring Wild Force, Rick Medina is just playing a different role. Actors do that all the time. Heck, it's happened more than once in Power Rangers.

That's partly true. I mean why waste the footage? However, I think it was done for the equally valid reason that it was a tradition that Saban, fans, and the show runners all loved. A tradition they had been ignored for years (thanks to Disney and Bandai). Think of it as getting the crossover tradition back on track...even if it turned out to be a trainwreak.



Back to Buster! I need a cool nickname for Nick. I call the bunny Roger Rabbit and the ape Trukk Munky. I have no idea what their names are and don't really care. Surly Nick has some odd trait that makes for a good 4th wall breaking nickname.

Not reading the spoilers because I do one day plan to watch RPM.

I got an idea though. The PR version can have that Zordon's conciousness was stored into a computer program, but then a rampant virus infected it and he becomes whatever the US name for Messiah would be. I mean, he already looks like Zordon, a giant round head, just red instead of blue.

It's worth the watch.

Or maybe they should make up their own villians. I prefer that to reusing the Japanese villians. Eitherway, I have a hard time thinking about a US GoBusters when the US is still on Samurai.

So, I decided to give this a watch despite not even being halfway through Gokaiger.

Okay, here's what's making me dig the hell out of this show: the miniature work and the accompanying mecha scenes. Usually, when I think of Sentai mecha scenes, my mind instantly goes to "some smallish, not-very detailed buildings in the first few episodes, desert wasteland for the rest." And yet, here we've got Gobusters, with some of the best miniature work and kaiju/mecha choreography I've seen in a while. On a TV budget! You can actually feel the weight of these things as they move, and the pyrotechnics actually seem like they mean something, thanks to the miniatures looking like real buildings and cars and things.

Two things though: for starters, I've got a nasty feeling that they're not going to be able to keep up this kind of miniature work given the length of a typical Sentai show, and honestly, unless the story winds up being amazing, that will lose me.

Also, is anyone else finding the video quality on Over-Time's releases kinda shoddy? I'm getting a lot of elements and some sections that don't play right at all.

Well, the rumor mill has it that Tzachor said to someone somewhere that he doesn't consider Wild Force through RPM as "continuity", thus why RPM is a "different universe". How they got Eka to come back and voice his character is beyond me, though he did go through a "screen name" and not his actual name. But still ... none of the other RPM Rangers? No out of suit footage for what we did get? Seemed incredibly forced to me.

I don't necessarily agree with that, and while I don't have any concrete information, my imagination would lead me to believe that TOEI more or less forced the "movie" footage in with the television footage when Saban bought the rights to it. That being said, either use it and try to profit or don't use it at all ... and Saban chose to use it, make it a "two-parter" or "mini-movie", and put only as much in to it as they had to ... which wasn't much at all.

I'd like to believe it means we're going to get team-ups galore, but the truth of the matter is ... unless the Sentai footage and storyline calls for it, we won't. When I see words "adaption" and "translation" in the opening scenes of each episode, I'm reminded that Saban didn't hire WRITERS ... but rather ADAPTIONISTS ... people that can turn a Japanese show in to an American show while keeping a majority of the storyline of the Japanese show intact.

Think of it as a voice over company, like FUNimation, simply adding English voices to the footage. It's just barely one step above that.

Though I've seen stronger starts I'm liking what I see so far with this series. The Go-Busters seem like their be another fun cast to follow and I see alot of potential on the villains side. Can't wait to see where things go.
