Actually, to correct my earlier statement. Skylar Deleon did not play Roger, he was an uncredited extra in this episode. It was long believed that he played Roger, but that character was played by Kosmin Parker. Did a little bit of research this morning, so sorry for the incorrect statement on my part.

Kain, I'm assuming you mean "Return Of An Old Friend," where Tommy comes back and they fight Dramole after abducting the kids' parents? Only reason I mention it is that "Return Of The Green Ranger" is a 3 part season 2 episode!

Yeah, Return of an Old Friend.

So now that I'm done with Digimon I'm going to give Kamen Rider Dragon Knight a go (Locke you should be proud

). I've watched and loved Ryuki, but I'm a sucker for a good adaptation that strays decently away from the source footage so I'm very intrigued by the show even if it turns out to lousy.

Not fussed on the fact they use "Kamen" in the title, but I guess a) it sounds cool and b) they wanted to stray away from any Masked Rider connotations, which is more than fair enough

*Wipes tear from eye* I've never been so proud! Go in with an open mind and you'll love it, because it's a great series. I can only assume the haters went in wanting to hate it which is why they ended up hating it.

Yeah I'll be keeping an open mind. It'll be interesting to see if I end up liking the characters I hated in Ryuki and vice versa.

I've seen about half of KRDK, I really enjoyed it as an adaption. Unfortunately it was taken down off of 4KidsTV before I could finish watching it! That show made me want to buy as many Kamen Rider Gai/Thrust toys as I can!

I find that such a conflicting statement with my experience of Ryuki that I can't wait to watch!

Thrust is one of the most badass characters in the show.

I've never watched Ryuki, but Thrust is one bad dude. And he has the best "villainous Rider" design since Shadow Moon as far as I am concerned.

Yeah I loved his suit as well, seems a lot of people didn't.
