It was either DS9 or Battlestar Galactica.
Anyway, yeah, like I said at the end of the RPM thread (Here's a link for the curious), I figured I'd do Lost Galaxy to Overdrive- Galaxy, Lightspeed and Time Force because they were the only seasons I saw start to finish as a kid (Well, Lightspeed and Time Force at least), Wild Force, Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder because I wanna finish the Disney Era, and SPD, Mystic Force and Overdrive because I'd like to finish the Kalish Era. That's overall eight seasons.
What could possibly go wrong.
So, my last two seasons had an update rate of once every two days. This is a mite less practical for the 40+ episode long seasons, so that's being updated to (hopeful) daily updates. Multi-part episodes will be done as one large update, like now.
Final thing(s): There won't be an update on Monday due to someone needing the laptop, I'll have it back on Tuesday. As well, when the SMF episode "In the Driver's Seat" can be watched online (Currently around mid-October), I'll be stopping to do that.
Quasar Quest, Part 1
* I've never actually watched MST3K- heard of it through reputation, but never seen a full one. So I'll let the "Not too distant future" line pass. Well, at least until SPD...
* The story of the Quasar Sabres- narrated by Christopher Walking, acted by Crazy Hand Guy.
* Oh hello topless lady from Not Another Teen Movie- thanks to you showing up I've now reviewed every single season where the Yellow Ranger took her top off. I'm still an ace.
* "Goddamn it, is Bill still talking about the swords?" "Just roll with it."
* Hi original monsters!
* Well they were quick to burn everything to the ground. They must be sneaky firestarters. And I'm saving Twisted Firestarter until later.
* A... lemonade head man? Damn you Megaranger!
* Anyone who doesn't like the Lost Galaxy theme has no soul.
* Let me get something right now: Due to the sheer hell that was the production for Lost Galaxy, with things like Valerie's disease, the scripts being late and having to make a nature Sentai into a space season because FOX and Saban saw the money from In Space, I can't help but appreciate Galaxy for simply not lighting on fire when it starts up. So purely because it's an underdog season, I may be fairer than I would be normally.
* "Produced by Johnathon Tzrachor." A simpler time...
* Ah, the synth music. I heard it only starts getting really good next season.
* "Keep up the good work in ensuring none of your families will ever see you again."
* Lost Galaxy calling the iPad.
* I can tell Kendrix is gonna be this season's Fran, in that I can't help but love her and if I say anything wrong I will be shot.
* It feels like the Commander is just commenting on random things. "Excellent... you're not playing Space Invaders, you're playing Gallaga!"
* "Odds are you'll never see her again." And yet Mike's family, as we'll see... is not on the ship. Mike was more than willing to leave his family on Earth, and as Leo implies he was in Angel Grove during CtD, their home is likely in ruins. I might be looking too much into this, but... why weren't all the families at least invited?
* Oh hey Bulk and Prof. See you in 17 episodes!
* And Skull makes a brief cameo. I heard that Jason was invited back, but he wanted to do college, so he just did this cameo?
* Why does Leo not have a passport? He's Mike's frigging brother, that has to count for something, the guy's in a position of power!
* Insert homoerotic comment about Slavin here
* It took RPM about twenty episodes to give us unmorphed Ranger on human violence. Galaxy has it in seven minutes. Well, Leo hasn't got his powers yet, but since his power source is a fucking sword, we can't break that out on that smuck.
* "The new world needs young men like you." Looking at this from a science perspective, she ain't wrong.
* "They need young men like me, and old lady I met in an alleyway said that!"
* Lemon head smashes rocks "I! WAS NEVER! GOOD! AT! GEOOLOGY!"
* The Blue Danube? Really? (I totally didn't spend five minutes perusing the Youtube comments of the Simpsons scene where Homer eats chips to this, nosiree)
* "This is your captain speaking, I'm drunk off my ass on airline vodka and we're probably gonna hit the Commander's window. In my defense, I had to spend six months training in Ireland."
* CHILD ACTOR! RUN!
* "Sir, GTFO of my way, I'm trying to watch the in-flight movie."
* Huh, I always assumed Bulk and Skull lived together.
* I know it's meant to show that Kendrix has a heart and all, but a stowaway could, I don't know, plant a bomb? I mean, it's not like Lost Galaxy has kamikaze bombers, right?
* Where did Leo get the uniform? I only saw him snatch a helmet... unless he snatched one from Kai... clever, Leo.
* "I don't know what I been told! Spandex protects more than armour!"
* "We are interrupting your children's television for an update on the war against the Bugs."
* Is the Commander trying to eliminate his own security staff? That grenade was no-where near Leo and Kendrix and it still sent them flying.
* Oh that's why Leo wasn't invited- Mike wanted to be the first Corbett to get him some alien wing-wang so he eliminated the competition.
* "See this is the problem with laser eyes- we can't shoot for shit because we're blinding ourselves with our own weapons!"
* ... That wormhole's never gonna be explained beyond "The plot said so" is it?
* "Wait, they've laser guns? Screw this, I'm going on strike until we get good weapons!"
* This whole thing with Leo and Kendrix blindly volunteering just feels rushed. That, and Scorpius getting name dropped and not questioned, alongside the Quasar Sabres.
* And the "Next time" promo just spoiled the ENTIRE EPISODE. Masterful editing, Saban.
Overall
On the plus side, this sets a lot up rather well- Bulk and the Professor show up, we meet most of the Rangers, and we learn about Terra Venture as well.
On the other side we know about the villains, the Quasar Sabres, and a lot of time is spent on Leo running from the security team- cut that in half and give us more of the villains and it'd be a far better part 1. As well, while the season is in canon with In Space, so space travel is known, Leo, Kendrix, Mike and, uh... Archie Kao (Is he named in this episode?) take the whole "I'm an alien from another world!" thing rather well.
Still it's enjoyable, although in the "Ignore the glaring flaws" kinda way.
Quasar Quest, Part 2
* First time I've reviewed two episodes in one go!
* "This is a museum!" Yeah, Damon must not watch the news... or go out much... or talk to Alpha... or listen to the intercom explaining how the Megaship was used by the Power Rangers.
* Damon's an idiot... but he's a charismatic idiot.
* So... how did the Megaship get out of Terra Venture's dome without shattering it and killing everyone?
* "You'll never release them! Not while my bad acting classes continue!"
* And Damon and Kai (Looked it up) show up... out of nowhere.
* HE HAS THE POWER.
* So, were the Sabres just waiting for everyone to show, or could Maya have plucked a Sabre out herself before hand?
* "Oh sweet Bug Jesus man, first they get better lasers, now they have swords? I ain't getting paid enough for this!"
* "Look out! It's a terrible photoshop filter!"
* OK, Mike you kinda deserved that for not moving.
* What is it with Red Rangers, slow motion and NARM.
* "I'm trying to be like Jeeeeeesus!"
* Well... he be dead.
* "Mike! Wait, how do I know your name!"
* No, THEY HAVE THE POWER!
* So, the Lost Galaxy suits... like the helmets, but I really don't like the middle, especially the zig-zag on it. I like my suits with as little white as possible.
* Mind you, because I love swordfights, I enjoy the suits fighting, especially the whole Reverse Grip they've got going.
* ... Is Damon dancing with his Quasar Sabre?
* Everyone else gets a moment to shine- aside from Leo, who's getting his butt kicked.
* Yeah, because throwing a wave of fire at a target in a forest works perfectly, Leo. I thought you Americans had a bear cartoon to teach you to not light forest fires?
* Helmetless Rangers!
* Also, if Mike was alive, there wouldn't be much beyond paste.
* "Every warrior in the galaxy tried to free them... and they all had crappy clothing."
* Our Big Bad is a Hentai monster. Yaay.
Overall
Part 2 is a little better- the fights are nifty thanks to the suits and the sword fighting, which should be a nice feature for the season. But again... it's rushed poorly. As in, I had to look up Kai's name on the Ranger Wiki, rushed. Scorpius only shows up at the end for all of 90 seconds, Flurio looks lame, and seriously, I know it was the 90s, but what the heck was with the filter?
Overall, Quasar Quest introduces a lot for the audience, and while individual moments were fine, the whole thing felt a bit rushed to me.
Next Episode: Race to the Rescue
