[POWER RANGERS] Should Alpha 5 be a Power Ranger?

Do you guys think that Alpha 5 should become a Power Ranger like his old friends? :)

[POWER RANGERS] MMPR nostalgia needs to stop!

I've been meaning post this for a while now but I remembered when I was listening to the Power Rangers theme songs throughout the years and I was really enjoying each season and how they were unique to each other. Then, I got to Samurai and my blood started to boil! Basically, the Mighty Morphin imitations must come to an end!



Don't get me wrong, I love me some MMPR but I can't take this anymore! Samurai could have been a season as sophisticated and unique as RPM and what do we get? A season with terrible acting, 90s cheesiness, extremely stupid characters and just an awful show. All because they were trying so hard to emulate Mighty Morphin. They bring Bulk back and put him through humiliating humor and terrible jokes and it's just :mad:



While I like Megaforce and it does do a better job of paying tribute to MMPR but in a lot of ways it's even worse. They didn't even try to hide it this time, they named the guy Ernie!! WTF? And Mega Mission was really bad in terms of the references. It was just non-stop! If I want to watch Day of The Dumpster, I'll go watch Day of The Dumpster. Not this copy and paste crap!



Now, they're skipping Go-Busters and going straight to Kyrouger, a dinosaur themed Sentai and why is that? 1. Because dinosaurs are easy to market. and 2. Guess which Power Ranger season is dinosaur themed.



I'm sorry but all of this combined with the Reversion MMPR, that's gonna be SEVEN YEARS of bad MMPR nostalgia and I'm sick of it. I'm just sad, angry, depressed, tired, annoyed, irritated and frustrated that seasons can't have individuality anymore, that all the aesthetics like the theme song are gonna be the same and that every season is gonna emulate MMPR. If they want us to watch Mighty Morphin then just put Mighty Morphin on the freaking screen! It's better anyway! Yeah, a cheesy 90's kids show that was basically an experiment is better than this crap!



Hopefully, the only MMPR homage from Dino Charge will be the dinosaur theme and it's just ends there. For now I'm just, I'm depressed.

[POWER RANGERS] EXCLUSIVE: Jason David Frank to return for Power Rangers Dino Charge!

From USA Today:

Quote:

GO GO DINO CHARGE! Following on from their announcement that the 21st series of the long-running franchise Power Rangers airing in 2015 would be titled Dino Charge, Saban Brands and Elie Dekel have confirmed that none other than Legendary Ranger Tommy Oliver would be returning to act as the team's mentor as well as filling the role of the 'Legendary Silver Ranger'. "We've been working together with Jason David Frank in preparation for this announcement, and we feel the time is just right for this wonderful news to be announced." Dekel stated in a press release. "It is well known that Tommy Oliver is considered to be the greatest Ranger who has ever existed, and we feel assured that his return will help kids to connect to this series in the same way that they connected to the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series. Tommy has worn many Ranger colours over the years, and we're delighted to allow him to add Silver to his mantle". Dekel also confirmed more details, including more information in regards to the Red Ranger who, according to Dekel, will follow in the footsteps of his Legendary predessors. "The Red Ranger, Jay, is an adventurer at heart. Having travelled around the world exploring and learning, he is known for spreading excitement and fun wherever he goes. After befriending the Mighty Tyrannosaurus Zord, he is ready to lead the team as the Red Dino Ranger. He will surely be as loved by fans as much as the original Red Ranger was and I'm sure fans will connect with, especially when they learn who his father is". Dekel also confirmed other exciting information as he promised the show would harken back to the original series in a way that no other has. "I can confirm the theme tune will be a remix of the original and iconic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers theme tune. Also, just like in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, each Ranger has the ability to summon their own individual Dino Zords and can even combine them to form the powerful Mighty Megazord. In 1993, kids loved the original Megazord, but we know that today's viewers will love this new Megazord just as much, if not more." Power Rangers Dino Charge, starring Jason David Frank, is due to debut in 2015.

[POWER RANGERS] Rocky as a Red Ranger

Now, in the constant debate of original vs replacement, we're always butting heads on which is better and one of the more controversial match ups is without a doubt Jason and Rocky. Now, I have nothing against Rocky but I must say he's my least favorite of the Mighty Morphin Rangers and Jason is my absolute favorite of the ten, so you know where I stand in the Jason vs Rocky debate. I'm gonna address a few things in points.



-Most people dislike Rocky simply because he's not the leader like Jason and that's stupid because the Red Ranger wasn't the leader anymore when he came on to the series.



-I've also noticed that most people dislike Rocky simply he's not Jason and some people like Rocky just because they dislike/hate Jason.



-I think this is really unfair but personally, Rocky would still be my least favorite ranger, no matter who he replaced.



-Now, here's the reason why I disliked Rocky in MMPR. Just bare with me.

• Zack-Fun-loving life of the party and practical jokester


• Kim-Sweet and feminine Valley Girl


• Billy-Extremely intelligent and socially awkward nerd.


• Trini-Down to earth and environment conscious


• Jason-Strong, heroic leader and disciplined martial artist


• Tommy-Formerly evil and disciplined martial artist


• Adam-Shy and sensitive


• Aisha-Sass and attitude


• Rocky-Um......martial artist.

-So yeah, that's my biggest problem with Rocky. He doesn't have much of a unique personality, I keep seeing the term "class clown" being tossed around a lot but I really don't understand where that's coming from.



-Also, according to the Power Rangers official website he's also very serious while still being a class clown.:confused:



-The closest thing he has to a personality is just being more extroverted compared to Adam.



-Throughout his Mighty Morphin tenure, Rocky was pretty much just a generic guy who was only there to shout It's Morphin Time every once in a while.



-Of course, all of these criticisms only apply to his Red Ranger days, he would go on to become a much better character and one of my favorite Blue Rangers in Zeo.



Overall, when it comes to MMPR and Red Rangers, I'm not a Rocky fan at all but I still think the reason why most people dislike him is completely idiotic. I don't dislike Rocky because he's not the leader or because he's not Jason. I dislike him because he has the generic and dull personality of a Disney Prince.

Power Rangers: Shattered Hourglass

Partly in anticipation of the Cyber V crossover, partly to improve my motivation to keep writing this . . . it's actually the third version of this concept, and ideally the last and best one. Criticism is always appreciated.

Power Rangers: Shattered Hourglass

Chapter 1: Hourglass Facility, July 3rd, 2010

Kohala High School, Hawaii, June 15th, 2010

Finishing the last high-five, Zanna stumbled into the shelter of the bleachers. She started teasing the rubber band out of her now-tangled black hair. Most of the other girls wandered off, probably heading for the showers.

Zanna plunked down on a bench beside the water cooler. Nobody was paying attention, so she squirted a little water into one cupped hand, and rolled down her sock. Wincing, she dribbled it on an ugly red abrasion running down her shin.

“How’s the leg?” One of the other girls asked, sitting beside her. Zanna jumped. “Oh, ouch. Hang on; I think I’ve got band-aids in my bag.”

“You don’t have to do that.”

Her teammate pulled a battered, oversized band-aid out of her gym bag. “Knew it. Give me your leg.”

Zanna flinched as the girl touched her ankle, turning her sideways and lifting her leg. The tip of the blonde’s tongue poked out of her mouth as she maneuvered the band-aid into the right spot. Zanna tried to remember her name. Morgan? Macy?

“. . . There! Perfect!” She let go of Zanna’s leg.

“Thanks,” Zanna said, not making eye contact.

“Some of us are going out for ice cream after we’re done here. Want to come?” Looking away, Zanna mumbled something about Dad and homework. “Oh. Too bad. Next time?”

“Maybe,” Zanna said, meeting the girl’s eye and smiling a little. “Thanks.”

“No problem. Take care of that leg.” Her teammate ran off.

Zanna dropped her head into her hands. “Stupid, stupid, stupid,” she groaned, shaking her head. “This is why you don’t have any friends! All you had to do was say yes!”

That was when Zanna noticed the field had gone quiet. She sat up, confused, and listened. All around her, the crowd had gone still and silent. A wind picked up, rocking the palm trees on the far side of the field. The air rippled.

A beam of white light shot down into the middle of the field, fading to reveal a female Power Ranger. Her uniform was white, with black accents on her gloves and boots, along with black chest armor. The eyes of her unicorn head-shaped helmet gleamed, and her knee-length cape rippled around her.

“Don’t panic,” she said, revealing the voice of a young woman. “I’m not going to hurt you. Much.”

Hourglass Facility, July 3rd, 2010

Someone shoved Garfield, and he fell against the wall, sliding to the floor. He wasn’t even that tired—well, all right, his head buzzed, he was hot and cold all over, and his eyes throbbed—just fed up with these pushy strangers. Ever since they’d knocked over the military truck, it had been nothing but dragging, shoving, yelling and hitting.

More footsteps pattered around him as others—soldiers from his unit or strangers, they hadn’t had a chance to talk—were herded down the hallway. From the end of the hall came a sound like a generator, and occasionally a scream.

His latest guard—a woman, by her voice—seized Garfield’s arm. Jerking him to his feet, she shoved him further down the line. His legs folded, and he fell flat, catching himself on the cold floor.

“Leave me alone, I’m protesting,” Garfield muttered. The fever made his Estuary accent even more slurred.

The woman responded with a boot to the ribs. She was wearing heels, too. Garfield grunted, but didn’t get up. When the woman went to kick him again, he caught her ankle. With a yank, he flipped his guard off her feet. She hit the ground with an oof, and Garfield cackled.

“You—” the woman snarled.

“Tiffany!” A male voice called from down the hall. “I need you!”

The woman hesitated. “I’ll deal with you later,” she said at last, springing to her feet and running away.

“Later, darling!” Garfield called. The cold floor soothed his face a little, even through the bandage around his eyes. He could feel each of the gashes burning individually: one slicing through his right eye, one slanting from left eyebrow to right cheekbone, and the last running down the side of his nose. He shut his eyes. Maybe if he could get a little rest now, he’d be able to run when they came back for him. He knew he didn’t have a chance, but no reason to go gently into that good night.

Garfield heard a shuffling noise from behind him—and then startled exclamations from the other men. An alarm began to blare. Lifting his head, he heard a woman’s voice.

“This way if you want to live.”

There was a pop-bang, and a burst of wind. Immediately, the prisoners ran, some bumping or tripping over Garfield as they went. Someone crouched beside him, touching his shoulder. The stranger grasped him by the upper arms, sat him against the wall, and undid the dirty bandage around his eyes.

“I’m not going to hurt you. Can you see?”

“Not a thing—who are you? Where did you come from?”

“My name isn’t important—and we don’t have much time. You’re the only one here who’s tried to fight the Akra. Would you do it again?”

Garfield shrugged. “They’re going to kill me if I don’t.”

“Take these.” The stranger pressed a couple of objects—a gyroscope on a chain, what felt like a penlight—into his hands. “This is a Gyro morpher. It’ll allow you to become an Hourglass Power Ranger.”

“A what that’ll do what now?”

“Hold this up,” she put his hand over the gyroscope, “Spin the hourglass, say ‘Sands of Time, Rise Up,’ and you’ll find out.”

“Stop!” Tiffany was coming back.

Garfield’s rescuer pulled him to his feet. “Say ‘Sands of Time, Conceal’ to keep from being discovered,” she added. Grabbing his hand, she held up his arm and the penlight, and pressed a button under his finger. The device recoiled with another pop-bang.

Without further ado, the stranger shoved Garfield forward. He stumbled, but instead of a wall, he stepped into something that felt like jelly. Remembering how he’d gotten into this building, he guessed “portal” before he was whisked away.

Mariner Bay, September 10th, 2000

Zanna sat in a corner of the park, fingering her purple Lightspeed jacket. She wondered if they’d have to turn these in, too, now that they were done being Rangers.

“Mind if I join you?” Carter asked.

Zanna looked up, and beamed at him. “Not at all.” The former Red Ranger sat down beside her. “I noticed everyone’s breaking the rules today.”

“Hey, we’re retired, we can fraternize all we want,” Carter replied. He took her hand. “Got a problem with that?”

“What about Dana?”

“I think she’ll be okay,” Carter replied, glancing towards Zanna’s older sister. She and Chad had wandered out of Captain Mitchell’s sight. “Besides, it’s not up to her who I date.”

“I guess you’re right.”

“You sound disappointed,” Carter said. “Are you?”

In answer, Zanna just smiled, and leaned in to kiss him—just as a fire engine drove past, wailing. Only now did the team notice black smoke rising from the city. The smiles faded, and Carter’s shoulders slumped.

“We’ll make up for it later,” Zanna said, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. She pecked him on the cheek.

Rising, Carter ran after the disappearing engine. In ones and twos, the other Rangers followed, Joel groaning.

“Hey! You forgot these!” Captain Mitchell shouted, holding up the morphers.

“I’ve got it, Dad,” Zanna said, gathering them in her arms.

He grinned in relief. “What would I do without you?”

“Let’s hope we never have to find out.” Zanna took off after the others.

However, before she caught up with the runners, a blurry figure slammed into her, knocking her down. Rescue Morphers clattered to the pavement. Moving on instinct, Zanna rolled, pinning the runner beneath her, only to be punched in the chin. Her head snapped back.

“Zanna!” She heard her Dad shout.

The guy beneath her—Chad!?—pulled a small gyroscope out from under his shirt. “Sands of Time, rise up!”

The burst of green energy blinded Zanna, throwing her across the street. When her vision cleared, she stared. An unfamiliar Power Ranger stood before her. His uniform was bright green, his opaque, diamond-shaped visor the bottom half of an hourglass. Brassy buttons ran up the sides of his white chest panel and the cuffs of his gloves. Drawing a flintlock from his hip, he cocked it and took aim at her.

Snapping out of her shock, Zanna rolled away as he fired. A cloud of gas burst from each of his shots—the last one hit her in the leg, hard. Standing unsteadily, Zanna struck a fighting stance. Her Rescue Morpher lay with the others, agonizingly out of reach. Although she tried to shield her face, she already tasted eerily sweet gas coating her mouth and throat.

“Who are you?” Zanna demanded, swaying. She wanted to scream for the others, or her Dad, but her mouth was going numb. Captain Mitchell, who’d been standing stock-still, broke into a run.

“A friend.” The Ranger’s voice sounded as though he was gargling.

Zanna’s legs buckled. Catching her, the Ranger laid her facedown on the grass. She convulsed, and his hand clamped down on the back of her neck. He pulled off her Rescue jacket, tossed it aside, and sliced open the back of her shirt. Zanna wanted to scream, but all that came out was a croak. Something slimy moved on her skin, burning like jellyfish venom. Zanna could see a little of her shoulder: yellowy, gleaming tendrils appeared on her skin. Her stomach tightened into a knot.

Zanna lay helplessly as the Ranger peeled the yellow thing off. The stinging worsened. Captain Mitchell stopped, looking confused. Wildly, Zanna wondered why her Dad wasn’t helping her.

Wait—her Dad? Zanna’s father was named Kyle, he sold used cars. No, that made no sense, Captain Mitchell was her father and Ryan and Dana were her half-siblings. She remembered two childhoods and sets of parents, and they both felt equally real. Her head swam. Another convulsion jerked her limbs as the unfamiliar Ranger kept pulling tendrils.

Screeching, the yellow thing let go of Zanna’s back with a sucking sound. It latched onto the Green Ranger, clinging to his helmet and arms. Startled, he yelled and struggled, falling flat on his back. Spurts of yellow lightning shot through his body, and he screamed.

Everything was going grey. Zanna tried to fight it, get up, but with the monster gone, the numbness quickly overwhelmed her. Writhing in agony, the Ranger crumpled. The last thing Zanna heard was Captain Mitchell’s distorted, echoing voice.

Corinth City, May 6th, 2000’s

With a whoosh and a gust of wind, Garfield found himself on solid ground again. Stumbling, he flailed for something to grab on to. Just as he found a doorpost, someone walked into him, and they both fell down. As Garfield hit the floor, he realized several things. One, even though he still couldn’t see and felt sick as a dog, the scars on his face were gone. Two, he was in new clothes, including a leather jacket and something hanging around his neck on a cord. Three, whoever he’d bumped into had spilled their duffel bag all over the floor.

Scooting forward, Garfield began feeling around. He knelt on a floor, bare and smooth. His hand bumped a spilling water bottle, and he righted it just in time for a slender hand to snatch it away. People murmured around them, and the stranger, probably a girl, was out of breath. His head buzzed, and he had to stop until the dizziness passed.

“Sorry,” he said, and paused. That was not his voice, nor his native accent. Why was he Scottish all of a sudden? Ohhh, right, disguise. He hadn’t expected the voice, though. Actually, now that he was paying attention, his entire body felt different, even his teeth—the gyroscope thing was thorough.

“No, no, it’s my f—” A girl replied, trailing off. Garfield could smell violets now, very strongly—his mother had worked in a perfume shop, and he could distinguish more scents at one sniff than most of the women he knew. At least now that he couldn’t see, he could chalk it up to scary blind man senses. That had been the first thing Rory said after the medic explained Garfield’s eyes were totaled. Garfield had been high on enough medication to think it was funny.

A warm feeling flowed through Garfield, and the fever dissipated. The pain that had burned steadily behind his eyes for days faded to a faint throb. He sensed that the woman in front of him was the most beautiful creature he’d ever met. The rest of his mind shrugged in bewilderment.

“You’re the Blue Ranger!” The girl exclaimed.

The same warm, fuzzy feeling was made him grin, and told him exactly what to say next. Too tired and confused to argue, he went along with it.

“You’ve got me. Flynn McAllistair, RPM Operator Series Blue,” he said, holding out his hand. The girl shook it. “Knock people down here often?”

“Alicia Wilson, and yes, but usually on the sparring court,” she replied.

“Do you, now?” Garfield grinned, helped her stand, and passed her the duffel bag. He felt more coordinated and normal than he had since before Venjix’s attack. Stupid dialogue or not, this wasn’t half-bad.

“Come back here tomorrow if you want me to prove it to you,” Alicia said.

“Why not now?”

“I think those two heading for us are your friends.” Garfield turned around, hearing footsteps, and a hand came down on his shoulder. He stood up, and felt the Gyro Morpher bump against his chest.

“Flynn,” another woman, probably around Alicia’s age, said, “Doctor K wants us back at the Garage. New weapon or something.”

“On my way, Summer. Same time?” He asked Alicia. This drew a rather odd-sounding “oooh” from Summer.

“You’ve got it. If you’re supposed to be protecting the city from Venjix, you’ll need all the help you can get,” Alicia said. Garfield froze as Alicia slipped past him. Venjix? Was this Corinth City? They’d been heading here before the Akra attack—at least, eh thought so. He thought Rory had mentioned it a couple of times, but he’d been either high on medication or raving with fever, so his memory was foggy.

“Flynn!” A man snapped, and punched Garfield in the arm.

“I’m fine, let’s go,” he said, feeling his ears get hot and probably pink. From Summer’s giggle, she interpreted the change a little differently, and Garfield shook his head. This was going to be a strange job.

The Time Ship, Time Inapplicable

Zanna felt like she’d gotten a backrub with sandpaper. She opened her eyes, and blinked a few time to get rid of the blur. She lay facedown on a white bed, flatter than she was used to. Cranking her head around, Zanna saw a wall covered in unfamiliar little machines.

For a second, she wondered what she was doing here. Then it all came back in a rush—getting attacked by that White Ranger, the laboratory, that squishy yellow thing attaching to her back, and then getting her life rewritten. A wave of nausea rushed over her, and she shut her eyes. Now she could remember: she was no Power Ranger. That year with Lightspeed (had it been that long?) felt like a dream.

Now that she was paying attention, she could hear muffled, quiet voices. Zanna sat up, a little unsteady, and listened.

“. . . Erasing the timeline,” a woman was saying. “Seems like it was a pretty normal Akra.”

“Then how’d it kill him? Urisus was a good fighter and a telepath,” a man asked. Wait, killed? Zanna stood. The Green Ranger was dead?

“Kamikaze attack,” the woman replied. “Used up all of its life energy in one big burst. It must have been pretty desperate.”

It had: they’d made a lot of progress with Carter. Thankfully, they hadn’t gone beyond kissing—but with a shudder, Zanna realized that was only because the Akra hadn’t been able to push him that far yet. Worse, she remembered where that idea had come from. As soon as it had attached to her back, the Akra had dug into her memories, particularly her fantasies.

“Perfect,” it had said. “Let’s get Carter.”

It was her fault—and she’d gotten the Ranger trying to save her killed for it. Zanna slumped against the wall. Her forearm hit a panel, and a silvery door slid open beside her, making her jump. Through it she could see what looked like the bridge of a ship, manned by a woman and two men in white uniforms. Time Force? A row of bizarre little objects lay on the center console. She recognized the gyroscope: the Ranger had used it to morph. Her memories were fuzzy, but she thought the Akra had briefed her about those other things—the silver one shaped like a laser pointer, and what looked like one of those magnetic necklaces made of a lot of little bars. They were definitely for fighting Akra, at least.

Then Zanna realized. She couldn’t bring the Ranger back, but she could carry on his work. There were plenty of other Akra prisoners who needed rescuing. Zanna’s bare feet thunked on the metal floor as she ran into the room and snatched up the tools.

“Hey!” A man shouted. Whirling, Zanna saw the three strangers spring to their feet.

“Please,” she said, looking each one in the eye. “I know what the Akra are like, and I’ve got a year of experience as a Ranger—even if it was under mind control. Let me do this.”

“No way,” the woman replied. “You have no idea what you’re getting into. The Akra have already beaten the original Hourglass Rangers. The building you got possessed inside? That used to be their base.”

“The Akra took you over once, they could do it again,” one of the men added.

“You don’t have to make up for anything. It wasn’t your fault,” the last officer, a tall Asian man, said. He walked around the console, stopping in front of Zanna. “We can take you home.”

Zanna shook her head. “What’s the point of the Green—”

“Harlequin,” the woman corrected.

“—Ranger dying to save me if I just go home? Besides, if it’s that bad, you need all the help you can get.”

Nobody said anything for a long minute. The only sound came from the thrumming engines. Zanna’s palms sweated, but her feet got very cold. She started to think about putting the stuff down; these three were the experienced ones, and they didn’t think she had a chance.

Unbidden, a memory of Zanna’s capture sprang into her mind: the girl who’d bandaged her leg getting dragged away by the White Ranger, screaming for help, and then later being sedated in the laboratory because she was struggling too much. Zanna’s hands clenched on the weapons.

“Fine,” the Asian man said. He smiled, just a little.

“But—” the other man began, stopping as the other glared at him.

Zanna nodded once, mouth dry, and looped the gyroscope chain around her neck. “Thanks.” She looked down at the other tools, and giggled nervously. “Um, can you guys show me how these work?”

Trivia

Zanna's Akra-created backstory is based (with permission) on LightspeedRescue1's favorite recurring OC, Jane Mitchell, and the two are actually parallel reality versions of each other in-universe.

[TOKU] Sentai Movie Run Times - Why So Short?

Just as the title says, why do the Sentai movies have to be so short? I understand they're now shown as a Double-Bill with Kamen Rider but can't they all be a proper 90 minutes at least? Today I got the Gokaiger Goseiger 199 Blu-ray and that goes for 81 mins but why can't all be this long? How can Toei call them movies when they're the same length as a standard episode?

[WANTED] PowerProps Silver and Gold Legacy Plates

Title says it all, I'm looking for PowerProps Silver and Gold Legacy Plates. I missed them when they were on eBay and was hoping someone here would be able to help me out. I really want to get a pair for my morphers.

[POWER RANGERS] Aisha's Character

As a child watching Power Rangers I kind of always had this mentality that Yellow Rangers were always sort of just there, in the background and filled the role of "the other girl". Now that I'm older, I realize two things.

1. The background ranger color of Power Rangers is in fact blue.

2. The only Yellow Ranger that came close to fitting that description is Aisha.



Sigh, poor Aisha. The ranger that never really had the chance to come into her own. Okay, while I do feel sorry for Aisha, she is a replacement and when it comes to MMPR, me no like replacements. So, I'll just be lazy and put my thoughts into points.



-When she came on to the series, it was now the "Tommy Oliver Show" and she left before Zeo, where the writers finally decided to give rangers who aren't Tommy some spotlight.



-Of the replacement rangers, Aisha had the most personality and had the best actor. But Rocky, Adam and Kat would go on to become veterans and far more developed characters in Zeo.



-She wasn't really "just there" but making her almost exactly like Kimberly did push her into the "other girl" thing. Rocky and Adam were pretty much clones of Tommy but again, both of them would become more than that in Zeo.



-Her departure was TERRIBLE!



-She had the shortest tenure of all the Mighty Morphin rangers.



-Trini and Tanya may have been pushed to the background alot but neither of them had it as bad as Aisha did.



-Trini was an intricate member of the team and her strong bonds with the other rangers pretty much solidified her place as the backbone.



-Tanya had the exact same amount of episodes as Aisha but used that time to have tremendous growth both as a person and as a ranger.



-She's the one of the only three rangers who's not an original member of any team. But Karone and Lauren both have bigger places in Power Rangers history.



-At least rangers like Lucas, Madison and Dax (Seriously, do the writers have something against Blue Rangers?) have a ranger title all to themselves. Aisha doesn't.



Within the first three season of MMPR, Aisha is at least the 7th best character of the series but in the grand scheme of Power Rangers, she tends to be overlooked and forgotten. And it's so sad to think that if she had simply stayed with rest of the cast, she'd probably have the same status as Adam. Basically my point is if I were Karan Ashley, I would be PISSED!

[ANNIVERSARY] Rangers resurfacing

Not sure if this has been discussed, but I can't seem to find much on it here. This has been on my mind a lot lately so I'm going to go and ask because I can't find any answers online.



What is bringing all these former rangers out of the woodworks? I've been following JDF, Cat Sutherland, Steve Cardenas on FB and Instagram and it seems like they've all been hanging out a lot lately at cons and other things. On top of that they've been with the newer generation of rangers as well. So what has brought them back after all these years? I kind of find it hard to believe that is all for the fans. Putting all their lives on hold to please all the fans. Then I thought maybe Saban put them up to this, but we've all heard that story. They only chose a hand full of rangers to come back. David Yost, who has gone on record that he would not have anything to do with Saban's brand, is now touring and doing ranger appearances. Steve Cardenas putting his BJJ school aside to do con tours. Erin Cahill who has some what of a TV career with guest spots on some shows, and AJJ doing limited appearances as well. All these past rangers had forged new lives after the show and now coming back to promote it? I have to be missing something. I was hoping members here have some info on this. I'd really love to know what brought them all back. Especially now that Austin has come out of hiding. It must have been hard to locate him and convince him to come back. He obviously didn't want to be found. Something must have been brought to the table to bring him back.

[POWER RANGERS] Austin St. John's "Back to Action" 2014 Convention Appearances thead

Not to take anything away from the idividual "[insert convention] - featuring ASJ (et al.)" threads or his official Facebook fanpage, I thought it would be a decent idea to consolidate all of ASJ's 2014 confirmed appearances into one thread. Hopefully this thread is okay.

[POWER RANGERS] Billy and the Zeo Crystal

I was watching PR Zeo recently, and I began thinking about Billy and his supposed Zeo Crystal again. Wasn't the crystal Aisha's, who gave it to Tanya before they switched places? It just doesn't make sense that Billy had a crystal when he never went on a quest like the other rangers. What does everyone think?

[OT] How many Japanese fans we have?

From what I have observed for many years, movies' information, plot, etc. are only updated after they go online. It is very rare to get leaked information from fan who actually watch the movies.



Does that mean we are just a bunch of non-Japanese fans here (not only Rangerboard, but also the wikipedia, the wikia, other forums, etc.)? How many Japanese fans actually joined us here?

[POWER RANGERS] When was Power Rangers the most popular?

I've heard and read most say that MMPR was the Power Rangers peak but is that really true? How does Power Rangers hold up right now compared to it's debut and other seasons? If there even is a real answer and not just opinions or what ever.

[EBAY] Cosmo Black 3DS

Since upgrading to a 3DSXL this poor guy's been hanging out on a shelf in my office.



The only reason I upgraded was because it was too small for my hands and I kept getting cramps when playing.



Still a great system and it would be nice to see it go to a good home, one that isn't Gamestop or a Pawnshop.

[POWER RANGERS] alpha 5 or Alpha 6?

Which Alpha robot do you like best? alpha 5 or Alpha 6? Personally, I always preferred A5, and I only came around to A6 when he had his IS/LG voice. His turbo and overdrive ones were terrible.

[DISCUSSION] MMPR Helmets USA

Saw this company on facebook who finishes Eric101 kits. Anyone used them at all?

[OT] RIP Lorenzo Semple Jr. (1923-2014)

Lorenzo Semple Jr. who was an American screenwriter and sometime playwright, best known for his work on the campy television series Batman and the political/paranoia movie thrillers The Parallax View (1974) and Three Days of the Condor (1975) as well as Pretty Poison (1968) and Flash Gordon (1980) has passed away at the age of 91. RIP. His work on Batman says that:



"While living in Spain in 1965, Semple was approached by producer William Dozier to develop a television series for ABC based on the comic book Batman. Semple wrote a pilot which was promptly picked up, and the series based on it put on the air, with popular success. Semple wrote the first four episodes. Semple also served as Executive Story Editor, a capacity in which he put his writing imprint on all of the first season's scripts, and at the same time provided the screenplay for the 1966 Batman feature film version.



He also wrote one double episode of the television series The Green Hornet called "Beautiful Dreamer," which was broadcast in October of 1966."
