At the end you said that Ecliptor's 'good parts probably died when Astronima was killed'.<br />But even in the clips you showed, he was clearly crawling towards her body as Lega- er.. Red Ranger was talking to Zordon. And then when the Z-Wave struck him, he was actually protecting her from the blast wave with his own body.<br /><br />Of course those are just clips and may be taken entirely out of context. I don't know. (also apologies if someone said it before me) <br /><br />Otherwise, this is exactly what I wanted: a nice recap of a series SO massive I couldn't watch it all. Your analysis of the themes and character developments instead of just recapping each episode really makes this stand up as not just a review, but a tribute too.<br /><br />Can't wait for more of HoPR and all other Inked Reality works!Hokatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786715070839100318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-44121991154874315642010-06-01T03:50:10.462-05:002010-06-01T03:50:10.462-05:00Was it ever explained what happened to Alpha 5?

The guy from the footage is actually the old mentor of the Zyurangers from the original Japanese show. I guess he helped inspire the creation of Zordon. <br /><br />If that's the case, I wonder if there should have been a body after Andros shattered the tube, but maybe his whole body dissolved into the Z-Wave.Astral Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639821580190094257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-33276420681825574762010-05-29T09:05:01.423-05:002010-05-29T09:05:01.423-05:00@ Galactic Overlord

This is the guy that got worn out by just recharging the rangers powers. That and Zordon's ultimate rival kept changing. First it's implied his barely stronger then Rita, Then his Zedd's rival,etc"<br /><br />Well, Zordon was trapped in a time warp until the beginning episodes of Turbo, so it was likely he couldn't transmit that much energy across time and space. I suspect that's why he could unleash the Z-wave in Space. Although, the series never really explains <i>what</i> Zordon is. I always thought he was a humanoid, and the reason he looks like a head is because that's all the Command Center could project of him. The first movie certainly thought that way when they showed Zordon outside of his time warp (I know the movie is non-canon, but it must have been on the producers' minds all the same). But even after they free him in the series, they still show him as a floating head in a cylindrical tube. So...I guess the show's producers thought he was primarily an energy being. Makes me wonder what Eltarians are like.Astral Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639821580190094257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-15898102328036426752010-05-28T12:27:43.170-05:002010-05-28T12:27:43.170-05:00aren't you going to upload this to thatguywith...aren't you going to upload this to thatguywiththeglasses.com?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-5734715090890943702010-05-28T08:03:29.554-05:002010-05-28T08:03:29.554-05:00I loved the SFDebris like sequence you did , by th...I loved the SFDebris like sequence you did , by the by I’d been wondering if you were a fan of Chucks since your review style and humour of these felt quite similar to his not that that’s a bad thing since I like his Star Trek stuff as well and was pissed when You Tube removed his Red Dwarf reviews.<br /><br />If you do another montage sequence during the course of this series I suggest ‘Time of your Life’ by Greenday.<br /><br />Anyway if someone were to say that In Space was the best PR series ever I'd have a hard time arguing it. It’s right up there with MMPR. <br /><br />From this point on the following Ranger series are gonna be a mixed bag.<br /><br />Lost Galaxy- Kind of a step down in story after In Space, although it did introduce us to adults as Rangers rather the teenagers which we’d be seeing quite a lot after this series.<br /><br />Lightspeed Rescue- Meh, it wasn't bad per say but wasn't great either.<br /><br />Time Force- A real step up from the last series. There are times where the show you can sympathise with the villains is a definite sign of good writing, also did anyone else pick up on the underline Nazi like genetic purity vibe the future presented in this show had?<br /><br />Wild Force- Ah Wild Force whilst Power Rangers always had an environmental message running through it this show takes it and just beats you over the head with it. The only real stand out character was Merrick/Zan-Aku and even he just fell into line later on.<br /><br />Now we move on to the Disney era, in my opinion it starts off well then just goes down hill.<br /><br />Ninja Storm- Personally I like Ninja Storm, if nothing else it was a fun show that wasn't taking itself too seriously.<br /><br />Dino Thunder- Not bad, it seems it was trying to be more serious then Ninja Storm had been but it still had some light hearted parts; the episode which is the show’s commentary on its Sentai counterpart is kinda funny.<br /><br />SPD- Word to the wise this really is a show you need to watch more then once, sure the first half of the season is kinda slow, although it does have some good episodes thrown in here and there, but once we get to the second half it really steps us and its only when you get towards the end do you realise that there is an underline story running through the entire season.<br /><br />Mystic Force- I’ll admit as much as I really didn’t think much of the Rangers in this show Mystic Force had a pretty decent story running through it.<br /><br />Operation Overdirve- Can’t comment since I didn’t watch it, the whole treasure hunt thing just didn’t sound appealing although I could be wrong. I’ll just have to wait for your review of it to see if I should have given it a shot. <br /><br />Jungle Fury- Oh god, I watched the first few episodes of this show and just checked out. God it sucked.<br /><br />RPM- After the shit storm that was Jungle Fury I couldn’t even watch this and apparently no one else could either since afterwards Disney ceased making shows afterwards.<br /><br />Please not that this is just my opinion and if anyone wants to disagree then feel free.<br /><br />Ok that’s me done; I look forward to the next instalment of this series.Fury Cutternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-32386617845978190592010-05-28T04:28:22.900-05:002010-05-28T04:28:22.900-05:00@Zachary You can find fansubs of the more recent s...@Zachary You can find fansubs of the more recent shows (starting with Dekaranger/SPD in 2004) at TV-Nihon, www.tvnihon.com/.

However, being a teenager with no job, my access to Super Sentai is basically limited to Youtube clips that hopefully have subtitles. I knew the kind of show I want already existed in Japan so what I'm asking for is a western equivalent, the only thing I can think of that came close was Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. Hopefully this is what Power Rangers will become in the future thanks to the number of older fans.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934857491604093597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809126056034906096.post-15487416431023824712010-05-27T14:26:29.028-05:002010-05-27T14:26:29.028-05:00Actually, while JAKQ may have handled mature topic...Actually, while JAKQ may have handled mature topics, by today's standards it comes-off as rather childish <br /><br />Liveman would be a better example with it's storyline about betrayal and redemption. <br /><br />But otherwise I agree, especially with Jetman which is probably the best written Sentai series to date <br />Basically the "Batmnan TAS" of Sentai showsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
