Power Rangers Anyone?

[Bastila]

Any money says theyre going to have stupid genetic powers again for PRJF.

I like the powers in SPD it worked but they don't use them too much but I think it can work sometimes


But it is nice to see rangers with no powers as well.

[RangerKing]

Genetic powers are something that I'm sure Disney has wanted, however we didn't have them in either Ninja Storm or Mystic Force.

[Justice Bringer]

Technically we did; since the NS ninjas had these magical unmorphed superhuman abilities.....and the MF rangers had elemental magic powers unmoprhed.

[TheCorpulent1]

At least the magic powers were kind of okay. You put the word "mystic" in the title and you automatically expect the suspension of disbelief meter to go up four or five points. The ninja power things were kind of weird, though.

[RangerKing]

However in both instances they were trained to use those powers and they weren't just given to the rangers.

[iamlegend]

No just a simple car accident during rush hour. How? She wasn't wearing her seat belt.


Not in my book it's not, in order to be a true fan in my book you have to watch all 534+ episodes because its the same show. Now you can be a fan of certain seasons or just the show itself but if you don't watch all seasons then you're just a fan, not a true fan. But that's just my own view.

Sorry that most of us aren't "true" fans in your oh so astounding point of view. :whatever:

I mean, seriously, I absolutely loved the first three seasons or so, but everything they've turned out since has been garbage. The fact that I think so does not change that I am a fan, however.

[RangerKing]

Well, tha's my opinion and it still sticks even if you pulled that from somewhere almost two years ago.

[Webhead2006]

Man i cant wait for the 23rd to finally come. I hope they dont disappoint us with the team up episodes. Also i really hope jackie is writing the teamup episodes, and not bruce.

[Drizzle]

Does anyone have an MP3 of the Power Rangers theme from the 1995 movie? Any help would be appreciated. :)

yea that theme was kickass.

[Superman-Prime]

I just pray it isnt as retarded as Ninja Storm. That show was a disgrace to the coolness of Hurricanger.

What do you expect? It's frickin' Disney.

Disney's Power Rangers are absolutely disgrace to old Power Rangers' name!

there's gonna be six of them in Gekiranger, I believe

There is no 6th Ranger confirmed yet.

Of course, 4th Ranger (GekiViolet) has been confirmed long time and we are gettin' very close to see GekiViolet. My guess in about two weeks.

5th Ranger is confirmed, but don't know what is called yet.

6th Ranger, not yet confirmed. We'll have to wait for a while.

[Super Kal]

5th Ranger is confirmed, but don't know what is called yet.

6th Ranger, not yet confirmed. We'll have to wait for a while.
rumors say that the 5th and 6th are gonna be black and green

[Webhead2006]

Well i hope if they are going to have a 6th ranger in geki series and with having the 4th, 5th, 6th ones spread out from appearing. I hope for Jungle fury they have more episodes then 32 episodes maybe go back to either 38-40 range so they can do some good stories to bring in the remaining rangers and to develop their characters more. Cause if it is going to be 32 like the past 2 seasons they are going to have to rush the remaining ranger characters in and all that. Which could be a total mess.

[RangerKing]

I'd rather them bring in the rangers earlier in Jungle Fury. To me a team isn't a team if it doesn't start out with five members from the start.

[Super Kal]

the you wouldn't of liked Liveman or Sun Vulcan

[RangerKing]

I don't like any Sentai, so that's not a problem.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd rather them bring in the rangers earlier in Jungle Fury. To me a team isn't a team if it doesn't start out with five members from the start.
I kind of like the 3-Ranger teams. It allows each of the Rangers to be developed a little more and not seem so one-dimensional, as opposed to having to share the spotlight with another 2 Rangers right from the start.

[RangerKing]

But then it just feels like its being drug out until the introduction of new rangers.

[TheCorpulent1]

Given how little depth most of the characters have anyway, I guess you're right.

[Super Kal]

I don't like any Sentai
why not?

[Justice Bringer]

If they ever do a 15th anniversery Best of PR DVD set, this is what I'd love to see;

3 Disc set (approx 3-4 hours on each Disc)

Disc One - MMPR Era (The Golden Age)

- MMPR: "Day of the Dumpster" (Pilot)

- MMPR: "Green with Evil" (Parts 1-5)

- MMPR: "White Light" (Parts 1-2)


Disc Two - Space - TF Era

- PRiS: "Countdown to Destruction" (Parts 1-2)

- PRLG: "The Rescue Mission"

- PRLG: "To The Tenth Power"

- PRTF: "Frax's Fury"

- PRTF: "Dawn of Destiny"

- PRTF: "Fight Against Fate"

- PRTF: "Destiny Defeated"


Disc Three - Wild Force/Disney Era

- PRWF: "Forever Red"

- PRDT: "Day of the Dino" (Parts 1-2)

- PRDT: "Fighting Spirit"

- PRDT: "Thunder Storm" (Parts 1-2)

- PROO: "Once a Ranger" (Parts 1-2)

[RangerKing]

I don't like Sentai, because I simply don't like it.

--

Dude, your list lacks season two, three, Zeo, and Turbo. You can't support the series but leave out a huge chunk.

[Justice Bringer]

White Light is Season 2 and this collection should be reflective over the full 15 years; an overload in the mmpr/zeo/turbo era throws it all off balance.

I'm open to replacing White Light with Golden Homecoming but GH seems out of place without the full Gold arc supporting it and isnt as good a two parter as WL.

Turbo and Justin should be left out of this collection; it isnt a reflection of the best of PR.

[RangerKing]

It dosen't make it seem off balance. If you're going to reflect 15 seasons, you actually reflect 15 seasons.

[Justice Bringer]

And I already have 8 episodes from the early days; thats more than enough.

The classics.


8 episodes from the PRiS-TF Era when the show became more complex and a different machine.


8 episodes from the Disney Era when the show turned into....something else

[RangerKing]

You have your opinion, I have mine.

[Sam Fisher]

I don't like Sentai, because I simply don't like it.

--

Dude, your list lacks season two, three, Zeo, and Turbo. You can't support the series but leave out a huge chunk.Well, Zeo and Turbo both suck so that's no biggie:oldrazz:

[Justice Bringer]

Zeo had its moments... Gold Ranger saga being the 'great' one for PR on a whole..

But its too long and drawn out a saga to stick on one DVD.

This collection isnt about each season getting representation. Its about the episodes that were strong enough to make PR history from each era. Best of the best.

[RangerKing]

Which again you're both entitled to your opinions, both of which I disagree with.

[Sam Fisher]

“Hey, I’m the one that destroyed Zordon!” (http://henshinjustice.com/2007/07/08/forever-red-uncut-hey-im-the-one-that-destroyed-zordon)

pbZSO2zQdtk

[RangerKing]

Eh, that was an okay scene. You can tell that wasn't the final one which made the cut because the dialogue is different. However, you'll notice that Danny Slavin (Leo) is missing from the scene and that's because he agreed to do the episode at the last minute after everything was filmed so they added him digitally. Of course Aurico is missing because they couldn't find his actor or something like that.

[Superman-Prime]

I don't like any Sentai, so that's not a problem.

SENTAI IS FLAMING GAYYYY!!!!!1111!!111!1

YES! SENTAI IS GAY!!!11!!!!11

[RangerKing]

That's not how I feel Wolzard. Don't put damn words into people's mouths. Sentai overall just isn't my cup of tea.

[Webhead2006]

yea every one has their own opinion on things. i my self has only seen a few episodes of sentai series here and there and all that. Personally i like both pr and sentai they are both very different at times cause eastern culture and western cultures are different and all that.

[Super Kal]

SENTAI IS FLAMING GAYYYY!!!!!1111!!111!1

YES! SENTAI IS GAY!!!11!!!!11

That's not how I feel Wolzard. Don't put damn words into people's mouths. Sentai overall just isn't my cup of tea.
you two also gotta keep in mine that without Sentai, you wouldn't have the Power Rangers.

[Justice Bringer]

And that Boukenger owns anything OO has attempted thus far

[RangerKing]

I keep that in mind pretty often, but doesn't mean I have to like it. I like a lot of adaptations better than I like the source material.

[Gotenks]

I havent been here for awhile any good news?

[Superman-Prime]

That's not how I feel Wolzard. Don't put damn words into people's mouths. Sentai overall just isn't my cup of tea.

Then explain why you don't like Sentai.

I havent been here for awhile any good news?

The good news is that we're getting a team up! Only in two weeks!

you two also gotta keep in mine that without Sentai, you wouldn't have the Power Rangers.

...I like Sentai. Hello?

[Gotenks]

MF and Operation Overdrive?

[Webhead2006]

No it is not a MF/OO team up. It is a special teamup to celebrate being the 15th season of power rangers. It is going to be a two parter called "Once a Ranger" and will be airing on July 23rd at 8pm est on toon disney. It will be aired as a single hr long episode which will be spilt up in future airings.

The plot is about an unknown son(Many theories believe the son to have been born either end of Zeo-Turbo time peroid since they where not seen during turbo or he was born after in space and some how became evil or something) of MM era villains Rita(Who if u saw MF finale after being puried in CTD become mystic mother) and Zedd seeks revenge on the power rangers, and he unites various villains(either uniting the OO vilains together or he is bringing past season villains with him, also hopefully he has his own footsoliders too either putties/z putties/ or tengas) to render the OO rangers powerless. He will be named Thrax and it is unknown if they are adapting a random monster suit from a episode they dont plan to use footage from or if it is going to be an all orginal look(I really hope disney did not cheap out on us and just adapt a random monster suit since Zedd was the first all US made villain so the son should be all US/NZ made too).

So to defend the earth and to defeat this new threat the Sential knight assembles a new team of rangers featuring: Xander as mystic green ranger, kira as dino yellow ranger, tori as ninja blue ranger, bridge green spd/blue in finale who will for some reason be red ranger for the teamup(storyline reason he could be coming from a few yrs after 2025 spd time and got promoted during that time to red, real life jack's actor decline to return and sky's actor also declined or was busy filming something else), and Adam as MM black ranger(we are lucky we are even getting a saban era ranger actor to return because there is many factors that prevent it from happening more since most saban era actors are SAG and pr now is non SAG and films in NZ and disney is cheap on flying people out of us and paying for them to appear in a episode and hotel stay, some have no interests in returning to power rangers, and some do not act any more).

It is unknown how Adam, kira, and tori will get their powers back but the leading theories is either the Sential knight uses his magic/the power of the two jewels the OO rangers have to recharge their powers, or another theory is Mr. hartford uses his tech to repair their powers, or bridge who will be coming from the future brings the morphers/powers of kira, tori, and adam from the spd archieves which we seen this happen in the first parter of the DT/SPD teamup "History".

here is a photo that got leaked on the net early last month featuring the returning rangers on set of filming the episodes which was done in Feb/March also including jackie producer/writer for the show for a long time and two unknown crew members. This has all be confirmed by various ranger actors myspace pages and johnny yong Bosch(adam) himself has confirmed he did return on his myspace page, offical band's forum site, and over at rangerboard also.

I'm not saying you have to... but ya gotta respect the source material in some way.

[Lunar_Wolf]

Does anyone know whats coming after OD?

[Super Kal]

OD?

I'm assuming you mean Overdrive... and if you are, Jungle Fury will be up next

[RangerKing]

I really don't have to explain why I don't like Sentai. I've tried to watch it and just couldn't get into it. It's not that complicated to understand.

I respect it was source material and nothing else. Even though Jackie Marchand (story editor and co-producer) and Koichi Sakamoto (executive proeducer) did say that it wouldn't be Power Rangers without Sentai but wouldn't rule out a day when it would be completely original.

I guess its a cool idea, but why such random Rangers?

[TheCorpulent1]

They're probably ones who are popular with fans and who Disney could afford to fly out.

[Justice Bringer]

Because Disney only wanted to pimp their shows and MMPR.

And these random rangers were the only ones they could get.

[RangerKing]

And there's nothing wrong with them wanting to "pimp" specific seasons. Plus Forever Red recognized the first ten seasons, its the newer seasons' time to shine in a team-up.

I doubt those are the only ones. Some are still actors and are therefore very busy and many actors have said that they would return in anything Power Rangers related.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm just glad Adam's there. :)

[Gotenks]

To be honest Im cool with who they have except for Xander. I liked him but dont think he deserves this. But your prob right theyre the only ones they could get.

[TheCorpulent1]

I liked Adam and Tori a lot. Xander and Kira are all right. Never really watched much SPD so I don't know anything about Bridge.

[Gotenks]

Bridge was just the funny man. He over thought things for comic relief he was ok. Idk how they might change him for being red ranger this time around.

BTW SPD Rocks!

[TheCorpulent1]

I watched a couple episodes and I didn't much like it. The shows where the Rangers are professionals in some huge organization don't sit well with me. I like the small crew of teenagers concept. Time Force worked too, but they were cut off from their organization and about as knowledgeable about the modern world as teenagers are anyway.

[Webhead2006]

Well their is probably many reasons we got the lineup we got as we did. As i said in a eariler post most Saban era actors are SAG actors and Disney's power ranger seasons are Non SAG productions which leads to problems for SAG actors to do non SAG works.

Then also some dont act any more for example like austin st. John(jason) is now a firefighter/emt and catherine hillard(kat MM-T) i think i read is a yoga instructor or something now. Then you have others who either dont want to return to power rangers ever or never want to be assoicated with it any more like Amy Jo johnson(kim). Even though the ones who have said many times they would be willing to return to the show it is up to disney now what they want to do with the show and as i mentioned we dont even know if they tryed to get in contact with any one else from MM-WF besides JYB.

We should be happy we are getting JYB to return as Adam because they could have easily made the the teamup be all disney era actors. I heard at PMC that johnny said Koichi Sakamoto called him up cause they have done some work together since he left power rangers to see if he would be willing to return for the 15th teamup special. JYB asked Koichi Sakamoto if disney would allow his character Adam to get destroyed/killed off in the teamup but disney would not allow it to happen(no killing is allowed in disney era). But in the end he still agreed to return.

Also with the lineup they probably wanted to go a simular route as the Sentai 30th teamup special which included hurricaneblue, abreablack, dekabreak, magiyellow and magishine, and then the akared character.

It would have been sweet if they were able to get any more MM-WF era rangers but we should be happy we have atless one MM era ranger to return(if he son plot is true they probably wanted to have some one who had a connection to the evil rita and zedd peroid and then they probably also went with Xander to have a connection with Rita's mystic mother peroid). What i do hope is that Jackie Marchand wrote the teamup episodes and not bruce. Also i really really hope is adam gets atless one non morph fight with the villains showing off his real life fighting skills and no wirefu crap for him cause he doesnt need it.

Also i really hope Angel Grove is mentioned too in the teamup. It would be sweet if the first place Thrax decided to attack is Angel Grove or if atless a battle took place there(with some random NZ city standing in for LA-which was used for Angel grove).

Cant wait for the 23rd to come so we can see the episodes. I really hope they dont disappoint us this time unlike the mess that was "wormhole" dt/spd teamup episode which was totally a very bad episode.

[RangerKing]

Amy Jo doesn't want to be associated with the show, she just doesn't want to be known solely for that role.

Unfortunately I'm tied b/w three shows for the 23rd (Victoria Beckham: Coming to America, CNN/Youtube Democratic Debates, and the team-up episodes), so I'll just watch the team-up at a later time.

[Webhead2006]

Yea that is tough picks for ya rangerking, if u have dvr/tivo u can tape two of the 3 shows if they are on all at the same time. Then u can watch the teamup probably later that night on the 23rd when they do reairing of the episode(s) at the midnight/12:30 airings they do or u can wait to that friday they usually reair the new episode from monday again on friday. If u cant do either of those times u will have to wait to it ot air when ever it will air on your abc kids affilate or just wait ot the next day and some one will have it posted either on youtube or a dl link from rangerboard or a couple other ranger forum sites.

[RangerKing]

Oh I already have it planned. Watch the Democratic debates, record Beckham, and watch the team-up later that night.

[Donnie Darko]

is there anywhere I can watch old MM episodes or Sentai? I've never seen the Sentai at all, and I'm really curious

[Webhead2006]

yea there is many places u can go to watch sentai and power ranger episodes. The first place u can try is youtube jsut type in what power ranger series u want to see what episodes some one has posted and then look up the names of the sentai series u want to look up and iss if they have any too. To learn info on sentai series i would go to supersentai.com they have info on all the sentai series. Then i would suggest going over to rangerboard.com and if u are a member go to their multimedia section and look up if any one has dl links for various power rangers/sentai episodes.

[Super Kal]

Disney better not screw Adam up. If they do, I'll be very pissed off.

Who want to see Kakuranger?
http://www.veoh.com/channels/Kakuranger

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger = Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 and Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.

[Bastila]

Has the team up been shown I am behind, last episode I saw was man of mercury are the others worth watching?

[Sam Fisher]

The teamup ep is on the 23rd.

[RangerKing]

Disney better not screw Adam up. If they do, I'll be very pissed off.

Disney, Disney, Disney. Disney sets S&P (Standards and Practices) and all shows must adhere to it. That's the first problem for writers. The second is Disney does tell the writers what they would like to see. And the third is it has to ultimately have Disney approval. Now if the writers are good (which this year they are) then whatever they are told to do, the writers will do their best to make the best of it. Jackie is writing this episode. Jackie has been with the show from almost the beginning.

[PyroChamber]

I think it would be cool if they did a new season and have it take place in Angel Grove, where it all started.

[TheCorpulent1]

Enough time has passed that they wouldn't have to explain where all of the familiar characters have gone. That could work. The only problem would be the cost of reproducing the familiar landmarks and sets in New Zealand.

[PyroChamber]

wasn't the first movie shot in New Zealand?

[*ANTHONY*]

The best power Rangers were the mighty morphan power rangers. They were more decent and less cartoony. Even the movie was good.

[Webhead2006]

I have been thinking since we learned adam is in the teamup and the whole son of rita and zedd angel grove should be mentioned. I see either it getting mentioned in name only, maybe adam is there when he is asked to join the past ranger team, or thrax(rita/zedd son) attacks angel grove when he starts his attacks or they have a battle with him there. It would have to be some random NZ city to stand in for Angel Grove(LA) since they dont film in usa any more. The easiest reason to say why the city is different now then it was in the past was after countdown to destruction when they rebuilt the city was changed.

[RangerKing]

The first movie was filmed in Australia.

There would not need to be any explanation about the city. That's like saying there needs to be an explanation why for 10 years even though the series has taken place in different cities, that they all look the same. Or why for the past five years, the same has held true for Auckland.

[Webhead2006]

Yea i do hope atless angel grove is mentioned at all. It would be great if part of the episodes takes place there but i am not holding my breath. I will be happy if it got a spoken mention.

[Webhead2006]

hey guys great news if you havent hear it yet. Disney finally aired a promo for "once a ranger" the 15th teamup specials tonight during the 11pm reruns of Zeo and then about 2-3 more times after the Zeo episodes. here is a link to a low quality version of the promo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCrrEvzPZ28
P.s Thrax the son is a new creation and not some adapted monster suit from the sentai series.

[deathshead2]

Thrax seems to be wearing Zeltraxs armor from dino thunder. Then he has some pink looking head, with like a phantom of the opera mask on his face. Then it looks like he's holding a staff. I really hope its Zedds old staff.

[RangerKing]

It looks similar, but Thrax is not wearing Zeltrax's armor.

[deathshead2]

It looks similar, but Thrax is not wearing Zeltrax's armor.
Well the chest plate is very simular.

[RangerKing]

I'll admit it. But, it appears this suit is pretty original.

[Gotenks]

Hey, where can I find the Sentai version of this episode.

[Justice Bringer]

so thrax appears and unites the villians together

the rangers lose their powers

SK summons the teamup rangers

the teamup rangers are at odds with the OO team

Mack suddenly discovers Hartford's secret

Mack somehow gets Zuban's Sword

The rangers get their powers back and Mack gets the Battalizer while Sentenal Knight returns.



Thats a crapload to cover; I hope it isnt rushed

[deathshead2]

Well it does take place over 2 episodes.

[Justice Bringer]

Yeah but with all the Mack/SK/Hartford stuff I dont know if the guest rangers will get much focus or development aside from the action

[deathshead2]

Yeah but with all the Mack/SK/Hartford stuff I dont know if the guest rangers will get much focus or development aside from the action
Oh thats what you meant. Oh then yeah the guest rangers im sure are just there for action nothing more.

Hi guys if u did not know pt 1 of the teamup is online from the jetix.tv/disney XD site if u want to watch it now. It been up since around 2am est.

[RangerKing]

Okay and my thoughts are so far...

And I nearly pissed on myself when they said Morphing Grid. That's freakin awesome, at least to a continuity whore like myself. This just furthers the concept that all rangers are connected through the Morphing Grid and that all you need is a new morpher (or repaired one) to tap into it. The last time it was mentioned was in "Strange Relations" (destruction of the Evil White Clone) and "History" (Kat mentioned a spike in the Morphing Grid).

Also did anyone notice that the prison Thrax was placed into was very similar to the one Rita was and when he was released he said something very similar to her?

Also I seemed to have noticed that Thrax has his father's apperance and if you imagine what his face was previous to being destroyed, it would look exactly like Zedd's. But seemed to have picked up various character traits from his mother.

One thing I cannot understand is why Adam has the black morpher for this episode and Jason had the red one for Forever Red. It seemed like it would go to either one group of red, black, and yellow or the other and not mixed like that. Which makes me wonder if Walter Jones was originally asked.

Other than that, I had a blast watching the first episode and I can't wait until the second part.

[deathshead2]

The part of thrax face thats covered looks much cooler than his skin side. I like that he was trapped inside the space dumbster. Oh and did you see his communcate thing that he sent to the villains they all looked like brains and had a little Z on them. Oh man this episode is cool.
OMG he has the z staff!

[deathshead2]

OMG that episode was aweosme. The older rangers fighting is much better than OO ranger. Man I hope Adam brings Alpha to help or even Billy that would be cool. And Adam can't belive that Tommy is a doctor ha thats funny.

[Justice Bringer]

Teamup sucked.


The excessive slowmo Kalishplosions killed it; there were 30 crammed into this 23 minute episode and the fights dragged on way too much. They wasted alot of time.

The OO unmorphed fightscene was almost laughable.



Rose's power is invisibility; yet she yells before trying to attack the monster from behind :huh:

Hartford putting some kind of lock on the morphin grid :dry: .... Is he Zordon now?

The OO rangers wanting to quit was weak. They still have those lameass genetically enhanced powers; they could have at least tried to help the existing team.

Sally Martin (Tori) returns. The thing about her is shes always best watched when the TV is on mute. Her voice is so nasal pitched and strange; its just urrgh. Her ADR was pretty bad.

Norg was so unnecessary in this and that monster battle at the start of the episode was pointless.

Adam was probably the most decent thing about the episode but I now understand why JYB didnt sound too enthusiastic about this ep when he posted on RB.

Part II is supposed to bring on Mack's battalizer and bring Sentinel Knight to life. Something tells me the reunion rangers won't be getting much focus. The Motw that Thrax summoned likely means they'll be an OO zord sentai fight in part II.

Thrax's origin makes no sense btw.

[Justice Bringer]

Yea they didnt go into detail around Thrax orgins/time he was born it was either he was a bastard child of rita and zedd before she was inprisoned the first time 10,000yrs ago or he was born Zeo/Turbo and was accelated growth and then fought the knight guy some time from then-a few yrs before oo started. Then the knight sealed him away and doing that used up his power and that is why he is ghost like. Hopefully in part two they might go into more detail about it.

[Justice Bringer]

[zeptron]

I didn't mind the explosions at first, but now they're starting to get annoying.

There were FAR too many unessacry explosions. Every time the camera gets to another shot, 2 seconds later BOOM! Absolutely NO need for it. They have all these explosions, yet they couldn't let Mack catch fire during Out of Luck. The one with Ronny look really retarded.

I watched the episode twice and there were 28 yes 28 explosions in this episode. That's *more* than one explosion per minute. And that's not even counting all the slow-motion after-shots. I might be off by a couple, but the number was pretty damn high (I didn't count the multiple explosions in the one shot, when Mack drives up to Stonehenge). That's just insane. There was a point where Kamdor slashed at some rangers on bikes but the explosions appeared BEHIND HIM. Seriously WTH?

We joke about this now, but it's seriously going to get to the point where a ranger picks up a slice of pizza and an explosion goes off behind him.

[RangerKing]

Do you seriously need to post the same thing on like a bajillion message boards?

[zeptron]

Why do you care? It's not that serious.

[RangerKing]

I've read the same thing for the fourth time. At least change it before you do.

[Primal Slayer]

Just got done watching part 1 of Once and Ranger.

Didnt really care for the beginning half of the episode, it just felt like a major mess and I was floored by Thrax being Rita/Zedds son. I just wasnt expecting him to look like that or well appear like that. They should just make him the Duela Dent of PR.

Loved it when the older rangers showed up and kicked butt. I didnt think I would like the line-up we got but I love it, it works out very well. And Tori looks great. It was nice that we got an explination as to how Bridge got Red Ranger status (so im guessing ofcourse Syd and Z are now 2nd and 3rd in command even if they are still Pink and Yellow). It would be great if that call Adam is putting in is to Billy (offscreen) ofcourse I doubt it but it would make sen to goto when it comeobably the number one person to goto when it comes to a morphing grid.

I felt so embarressed for the OO Rangers in the beginning leading up to the older rangers showing up. Previous teams have faced worse situations then they did. and the OO team went down so easily both times.

Good thing the Psycho Rangers arent going to be coming back.

Adam needs to teach them how to fight better.

Cant wait to see part two and more of the oldies.

[Gotenks]

Wow, you guys were right about the explosions. Im also happy they gave an explantion for Bridge becoming the red ranger. I like how he fought the foot soliders. Did anyone else notice as the old rangers made their intros their respective theme song came on except for Adams? Was that because that was the Saban era? The OO team need to stop acting like babies they will get their powers back. Its kinda making me mad from how they are acting.

[Superman-Prime]

Ok... 28 explosions. 28 FRAGGIN' EXPLOSIONS!

Gosh, I wish Disney NEVER ever took over. I wanted Saban to still running and take good care of Power Rangers. Disney is pathetic and retarded. I hated when Disney is still ruining Power Rangers, BADLY.

Anyway... it was nice to see Adam, one of my favourite Ranger and UNDERRATED.

I think it's more of the current exective producer's idea to have all the explosions. Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder have a different EP and I don't remember those having all these slow motion shots. I don't think it wasn't until SPD is when we started getting as we at Rangerboard like to call them Kalishplosions.

[RangerKing]

The Mighty Morphin theme didn't play, but you did hear a tune similar to it. The reasoning is because Disney does not own the rights to the Saban era music. I do believe the music was used in Legacy of Power (clip show of previous seasons), but I believe that's because they were not used in a new capacity (they were played with the clips of the show they represent).

It's actually Koichi Sakamoto who ordered the explosions and his reasoning is just because they can, he said so at Morphicon. YES! HAHA a person with the show almost from the beginning said that. So if it was Saban or Disney and he was told he could do it, he would.

I'm not a mod or an admin, but I'm going to instate a rule. No anti-Disney/anti-Saban talk. If you have beef you say something like "You know the explosions are not something I'm fond of and I would prefer Disney not do that, etc".

[Justice Bringer]

Disney sucks.

Saban ruled.

[RangerKing]

And you know I'm a firm believer that if Saban's name was still attached to the show and they did the exact same things Disney does, you'd eat it up.

Also. I recently did an interview with David Weatherley (Spencer) and I'll post the link to my site when I get the interview up. I'm also in the process of getting interviews with Melanie Vallejo (Madison), James MacLurcan (Mack), Caitlin Murphy (Ronny), and Greg Aronowitz (EP during S.P.D.). So look out.

[TheCorpulent1]

I remember a lot of explosions in pretty much every season of PR, myself. What's the big deal?

[RangerKing]

I suppose the fact they are much larger now. I have no idea. But if you go back and look, they are present in the Saban era as well. Forever Red, a fan favorite, includes a lot of explosions and slow-mo as well.

[TheCorpulent1]

Back in the Saban era they even had colored explosions that matched up with each Ranger sometimes.

[PyroChamber]

It looks to me like Disney's trying their best to make it seem like the Saban seasons never existed.

[TheCorpulent1]

Getting Johnny Yong Bosch to come back as Adam makes that seem unlikely...

[RangerKing]

As well as the tie of Mystic Force to Rita as well as the return of Tommy.

I counted Forever Red's explosions and slow-mos. While I consider Forever Red to be a part of Disney's first season, because the credits does point to that, a lot of fans still consider it a part of Saban's seasons since MMPR Productions was still on board. In terms of explosions, I counted all the explosions large and small. The number of explosions were thirty and four instances of slow motion. The Andros/Carter fight against Steelon accounted for almost all of the slow-mos and approx eight of the explosions.

[Superman-Prime]

I'm not a mod or an admin, but I'm going to instate a rule. No anti-Disney/anti-Saban talk. If you have beef you say something like "You know the explosions are not something I'm fond of and I would prefer Disney not do that, etc".

The biggest problem with how Disney does the explosions is the slow-mo part. It drags it on and makes it annoying. Coupled with the New Zealand rangers' bad ADR; "Wooooooooooooahhhh" "Ohhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaah"

Even worse is how the villians miss the rangers unmorphed like 30 times when they blast them and the explosions do no damage.

I swear I thought I saw Mack take two blows that would have been fatal to the chest.

[RangerKing]

[Justice Bringer]

And Jason doesnt fit in tights anymore....

[RangerKing]

He was more or less the same size around 2002 for Forever Red though (and yes I've seen recent pictures of him).

I believe the goal was because the Saban era got its time to shine during Forever Red they wanted to represent the newer seasons, Ninja Storm thru Mystic Force, and wanted Adam as a representative of the pre-Ninja Storm teams. When we're at the 20th mark (if it happens), I'm sure you'll see one of the Ninja Storm-Operation Overdrive crew with four members of the post-Operation Overdrive era.

[Justice Bringer]

Well all the ones who have Disney contracts.

I heard that SAG/Non-SAG thing would have been an issue in getting certain actors back from the Saban era who are still represented.

[Webhead2006]

Yea the SAG/ Non SAG things lead to some problems to get any saban era guys who are still part of SAG to come back. Then also some dont actor any more, some have no interest returning to the show, then u have some who would love to return. But really it is up to disney what they want to do and we dont even know if disney even tryed to get into contact with any others of the saban era guys. We are lucky we have JYB in the special because it could have been all disney era rangers with no one pre disney. plus i think i read some where JYB returned because that Khoci dude called him up and asked if he was willing to return. So i dont even know if disney even bother to contact any other pre disney era ranger actors at all who are still acting or who are willing to return.

[RangerKing]

Considering Johnny still does voice acting, I'm sure he still belongs to some union or another.

Don't just say Disney this, Disney that. Disney probably had some input on who they would like to see rangers return from, but the rangers they chose seem to be ones that at least the older fans like almost universally.

[Justice Bringer]

Adam and Tommy from DT are the only ones they brought back that the older fans liked universally.

[RangerKing]

Older fans like Xander, Bridge, Tori, and Kira as well. At least during their respective seasons, then they are really hardly ever talked about again.

[TheCorpulent1]

I still like Tori a lot. Granted, I started liking her mostly for the novelty of having a female Blue Ranger. But she kicked a hell of a lot of ass, she was easily the most stable and consistent member of the Ninja Storm Rangers, and her subplot with Blake was done pretty well as far as Power Ranger romances go.

But she kicked a hell of a lot of ass, she was easily the most stable and consistent member of the Ninja Storm Rangers, and her subplot with Blake was done pretty well as far as Power Ranger romances go.

I'd disagree. The subplot was kinda dropped by the end unfortunately.

Being the most stable of the NS fools isnt much of an accomplishment though; but I'd say Cam was the most stable overall (he was often in the mentor role too).

My biggest complaint with Tori was just the actress; her ADR and way of speaking is dreadful. Shes best viewed on mute :)

[RangerKing]

Yeah and her scenes against Marah and Kapri were pretty awesome and she was usually the voice of reason when the guys were thinking with the wrong head.

[Justice Bringer]

Older fans like Xander, Bridge, Tori, and Kira as well. At least during their respective seasons, then they are really hardly ever talked about again.

Hmm I disagree.

Alot of older fans jumped ship during those Disney eras. Alot just liked DT for Tommy and thats about it.

The rest just watch the Disney seasons without real interest but are alot more fond of the classic rangers from the Saban era.

Thats generally how it is at rangerboard.

There is a new crop of younger fans that seems to be more interested in the Disney rangers than the classics though; but obviously I wouldnt consider them the older fans.

[RangerKing]

Anyone over the age bracket I would consider older fans, they don't always have to be older fans in their late teens and older.

I don't pay attention to Ranger Board. They don't really know if they are coming or going. And usually on Ranger Board the minority are the most vocal and therefore it gives you that opinion. I've been on Ranger Board since around 2002 and that's the exact impression I've gotten of the place. Abeit its under a new name now and its not exactly obvious, since I was unfairly permabanned.

[TheCorpulent1]

Alot of older fans jumped ship during those Disney eras. Alot just liked DT for Tommy and thats about it.

The rest just watch the Disney seasons without real interest but are alot more fond of the classic rangers from the Saban era.
I'm actually only a real fan of the ongoing storyline from the first six seasons of the Saban era, myself. Everything that's come after hasn't interested me as much because it's always new characters in new situations that I have no attachment to. Some have managed to rise above the disconnection and intrigue me--Lost Galaxy (in spite of their douchebag Red Ranger) and Time Force, most notably--but the rest of them usually fall flat for me. Also, I think nostalgia is definitely a factor in the Saban/Disney divide. Whatever people think of Ninja Storm or Mystic Force or SPD, they're all vastly better than Wild Force or Lightspeed Rescue, as far as I'm concerned. They'd probably be better than Turbo and Zeo too, if not for the familiar characters and the Gold Ranger saga, respectively.

[Justice Bringer]

Lots of fans did jump ship like that post C2D but there was a major disconnect when it came to Disney's direction with the show.


And I liked Leo, compared to recent Red Rangers; hes really good. I like the fact he progressed from a punk kid to responsible and serious by the end.

[TheCorpulent1]

He got more tolerable as time went on. I still thought he was a douche by the end of the season, though. Just less of one. I really thought Kai should be leading the team the whole way through.

[Justice Bringer]

Nah I liked how him and Kai conflicted. By the end they were pretty much unified. The team didnt seem to have a set leader by the start anyway. Leo kinda claimed it midseason.

I like the way Leo presented himself when he returned in LSR; it was a vast difference to where he started from. He was level-headed and came off responsible.

Most recent rangers dont actually show that kind of growth.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's true, the Saban era was definitely better about character arcs for the most part. The only major character arc I can recall from the Disney era is Sky in SPD.

[Justice Bringer]

Thats true. Thats why Sky got all the focus.

I personally would have prefered Sky as red from the start though;

Mainly because Kalish said that Cruger only made Jack red to teach Sky a lesson and Cruger always wanted Sky for red (thats a crappy reason).

I wish they made his father an actual ranger too from PR history.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, it's weird that they didn't make Sky's dad an actual Ranger. It's not like they were avoiding connections to the Saban era or previous Rangers at the time--Dino Thunder was just one season prior to it. He wouldn't even have to be a recognizable one; he could've just been a replacement for one of the Rangers teams whose season ended with them still in possession of their powers, like how Adam replaced Zack but wore the same costume.

Also, I completely agree on Cruger's reasoning being stupid, especially for a professional law enforcement organization. It's that kind of thing that makes me prefer the PR series that stay away from making the Rangers part of any established organization. Just keep 'em as a bunch of kids with a mentor and you can have random nonsense like that all you like because the mentor makes all the rules. In an organization where the Red Ranger is charged with making decisions that could affect the health and safety of his team and innocents? Not so much.

[Justice Bringer]

Oh its because Doug Sloan did DT. The newbie producer Bruce Kalish did SPD and openly mentioned he didnt want to watch past seasons (hence why they couldnt make Sky's dad a real ranger from our history).

Crugers decision looks even stupider when you consider Sky had 3-4 years of SPD training.....and Jack was just some bum off the streets :/

There would have been better ways to teach Sky tolerance.... though technically they all needed tolerance lessons; the team was a mess by SWAT.

[RangerKing]

Mainly because Kalish said that Cruger only made Jack red to teach Sky a lesson and Cruger always wanted Sky for red (thats a crappy reason).
That's not a crappy reason. Sky thought from the beginning that he should be red ranger because that's what his dad was, he wanted to be his dad, and anything else was no acceptable. In Sky's mind, the red ranger was the only one who could make a difference in the fight against evil. However, as Sky later learned heroes come in all colors. Cruger was also trying to teach Sky that in order to be a leader, you too have to be led by others at time.

The newbie producer Bruce Kalish did SPD and openly mentioned he didnt want to watch past seasons (hence why they couldnt make Sky's dad a real ranger from our history).
And yet the story editor, writers from Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder and even one from the first few seasons, and Koichi Sakamoto were there on the crew. People completely forget that Jackie Marchand was there and played a role too.

[TheCorpulent1]

I can accept Cruger's reason for not giving Sky the lead position, but not for putting Jack in that same position. Deciding one of your cadets needs to learn some more lessons before he's leader material? Fine. Deciding to place command of an elite police squad into the hands of some criminal off the streets, after you just had him arrested, no less? Not so fine.

[RangerKing]

But he's not just some criminal off the streets. Cruger held the destiny of all five rangers in his hands and played a role in their lives without them knowing about it. Jack also displayed the qualities which made him S.P.D. material.

[TheCorpulent1]

Lacking any training whatsoever trumps having any qualities. From a logical standpoint, an organization like SPD should've denied Cruger permission for Jack to be on the squad. It'd be like giving some random guy on the street a gun and a badge.

[Justice Bringer]

Its still retarded. And if Cruger was watching Jack all his life; why only recruit Jack and Z at this point in time (while the others were recruited years prior)..

SPD was just written poorly.

And making Jack red ranger over Sky is like promoting Wesley Crusher to Captain over Riker..... to teach Riker a lesson :/

Thats the bad thing about Red Rangers nowadays. None of them deserve to be Red Ranger, unlike in the beginning of hte shows history where the people who were Red Rangers actually fit/deserved the role/title (except for Rocky but ofcourse Tommy was the head figure of the team by then with Kim and Billy in 2nd command)

None of them deserve to be Red Ranger, unlike in the beginning of hte shows history where the people who were Red Rangers actually fit/deserved the role/title (except for Rocky but ofcourse Tommy was the head figure of the team by then with Kim and Billy in 2nd command)

Yeah I agree.

The one of the only Reds from the Disney Era who really deserved it was Sky; mainly because he worked his ass off all season as Blue to finally get the promotion he wanted.

Leo didnt think he deserved it in LG season 1 (since Mike pulled the sword) but proved he deserved it and was destined to be Red in "Destined for Greatness"

Carter's vet firefighting skills made him definitely deserving of the Red lightspeed position.

Jen didnt think Wes deserved it at first either but he grew throughout the season; by the end he was calling the shots and saved the team multiple times. He even fought to the death to save the world in EoT II.

Eric's SG training and Karate training with Wes made him a worthy candidate for Quantum despite him stealing the powers by corrupt means.

Andros was a veteran ranger who fought in wars before PRiS.

Jason and Tommy are self explanitory.

Tommy chose TJ personally.

Shane's ninja training made him somewhat deserving of Wind Red......even though he got it because all the better students were captured :/



Thats where it ends...

The most undeserving is Mack unfortunately. The actor is decent (for NZ standards) but him getting the powers because of daddy Hartford (Mack doesnt have a specific skill) is teh gay.

Conner's multiple powerups were undeserved as well.

[Justice Bringer]

He wasn't the greatest leader, but I liked him. He and Ethan had some of the best buddy cop chemistry in PR history, as far as I'm concerned. :)

Yeah I thought they were alright. They were funny in the first episode when they were dissing each other.....but sadly the writers didnt continue that all season. He was entertaining comedy-wise but that doesnt exactly make him a great Red Ranger; just a funny one.

Jason/Zack still have the best buddy cop chemistry in PR history. You could tell it even from their first audition together shown at Morphicon.

Carter and Joel had some amusing moments too.....I remember they even had a 'don't mess with a Black man's radio' moment.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I wish the Dino Thunder writers had continued the snarky class rivalry between the three main Rangers that they introduced in the premiere. That's part of the reason why I didn't think Dino Thunder was too great as a season, yet I rank "Day of the Dino" among the best Power Rangers series premieres, right up there with "From Out of Nowhere."

[Justice Bringer]

Yeah agreed. DT started out great and fell apart. So much potential wasted.

You seem to gauge how worthy someone is by either who chose them or their training. That seems a little screwy.

You're comment about Mack is kinda uncalled for. Mack took the morpher when Andrew was about to do it himself and risked himself to save the world and his father. Wow that's not deserving is it? Mr. Rich Kid was more willing to risk himself for purpose rather than just for fun a la Wes.

Wes was trained and skilled in martial arts prior to receiving the morpher.

Mack was just some scrawny kid who got special genetic powers programmed into him; no actual skill.

[RangerKing]

Skill doesn't always mean not worthy.

How many of the original Power Rangers from the first few seasons are coming back for the new team up episodes?

just Adam

Disney hates Saban.

except for Rocky

Rocky AND Justin were the worst thing to ever happen to this show.

DT started out great and fell apart. So much potential wasted.

But Fighting Spirit kicked ass!

[Warhammer]

I am glad that alot of people loved the Quantum ranger like I did.
Save for Tommy and Jason, he was, by far, my favorite 6th ranger.

[p4poetic]

DT was great. It was like MMPR but less attractive people, no martial arts or gymnastic skills and better acting. I never got a chance to see the ending, but if it was bad than maybe its too my benefit.

True, but ATLEAST Cassidy was hot!

Being skinny and blonde doesn't make you hot. She looks like a bird, and worse I can see her rib cage. Plus her face reminds me of Cameron Diaz. BUT she is cute looking in the first pic, I'll give her that.

Rocky AND Justin were the worst thing to ever happen to this show.Justin is unanimously the worst. But theres nothing wrong with Rocky. Besides, he's cute :oldrazz:

[Catman]

That pretty much sums it up.

hahaha, that's a joke, right?:huh:




Rocky AND Justin were the worst thing to ever happen to this show.



Justin-yes. Rocky-no.

[Superman-Prime]

BEST:

Jason (One of the best Original Red Ranger ever. No one ever beat him at all)

Tommy (Nuff said)

Andros (Awesome Red Ranger)

Wes

Eric (One of the best 6th Ranger ever)

Carter (UNDERRATED!!)

Leo (He was a good Red Ranger, Underrated just like Carter)


100% WORST:

Shane (He focused to be goofy for the whole season and never being so such serious!) I hate this! **** YOU, SLOAN.

Mack (He sucks. He needs to strike by a huge truck)

Rocky (He sucked as Red Ranger II, but when he became into Blue Zeo Ranger, he was much better)

Conner (Same with Mack and Shane.)

Cole (I loved Wild Force, but I hated Cole)

Jack

Nick (Gosh, I want to kill Nick)

[Catman]

hahaha, that's a joke, right? :huh:

p4poetic said better acting not good acting.

[Abaddon]

I think the originals, and the team following were alright(Aisha was probably the weakest).

[Catman]

I think the originals, and the team following were alright

You should re-watch those episodes. Everyone was a bad actor/actress EXCEPT Amy Jo (Kimberly) and Walter (Zack). Tommy is my favorite character but I will be the first to admit that JDF was a horrible actor during those early days. The great thing about him was that he was a badass.

[TheCorpulent1]

Power Rangers has never had very noteworthy actors. I would have to agree that Dino Thunder's acting was much better than MMPR's, though. Ethan had good comedic timing, Kira was all right, Hayley was good (even though her accent showed through a lot), Tommy had gotten better and didn't look so shifty all the time by then, and Conner was actually a decent actor in general. The only one who really brought it down for me was Trent, who never really looked convincing at anything, ever.
Why the heck did u rank Omega that high? He was the lamest thing ever.

:dry: Ball of light....


Merrick was effin Zenaku...he was cool at times. Trent was such a pussy.
Merrick was a pale imitation of Zen-aku. Zen-aku was badass; Merrick was a sissy with lame-ass pool-based powers. If Merrick had stayed Zen-aku and just helped the Rangers, he would've been awesome. The Lunar Wolf Ranger, however? Ass. Other characters who've turned good after being bad, like Trent and Leanbow and especially Tommy, have at least managed to remain cool characters or powerful fighters or something. Merrick was just a total reversal of all of Zen-aku's awesomeness.

I don't know why I rated the Omega Ranger so high. I liked his costume design, but I don't really remember much else about him. I figured he had to be better than the likes of Merrick and Ninjor, though.

[PyroChamber]

Being skinny and blonde doesn't make you hot.Speaking of which, has anyone ever noticed that only a few of the female rangers have been blonde?

Kat
Kendrix
Karone
Taylor
Tori
Syd

Just something I noticed looking back at all the seasons.

[Justice Bringer]

But Fighting Spirit kicked ass!

Yeah....after like a dozen bad episodes and Tommy embarassingly stuck in his suit.

I always considered Merrick and Zenaku one in the same. They were just 2 sides of the same coin; two sides of the same man. I liked how Merrick made peace with Zenaku in the end. Merrick's backstory was good too. He was definitely handled a bit better than some of the ones that followed.

Leanbow was cool.

Trent was a major pussy all season long. It was sad to watch the badass Abarekiller footage bastardized with him.

Chad (LSR)

Ethan (DT)

Trent was a major pussy all season long. It was sad to watch the badass Abarekiller footage bastardized with him.
Zen-aku was a whole other guy contained in the Wolf Mask, wasn't he? Merrick then wore the mask and merged with the guy, but they were still separate people. Either way, when Merrick was Zen-aku, he was awesome. When Merrick was Merrick, he sucked. If Merrick is what all the legendary ancient Rangers were like, it's no wonder they got wiped out in the end. The only reason Merrick seemed even slightly tolerable was because of how indescribably useless the rest of the Wild Force Rangers were (except Alyssa, who was usually okay). :o

Anyway, Trent was a pussy but the White Dino Ranger was badass. I don't watch any sentai, so I didn't have any problem with Abaranger bastardization.

[Webhead2006]

Man i cant wait for the episodes to air tonight. I hope part two is good.

eh, what put me off about Dino Thunder was the pretentious dialogue. "Ooh, look at us, we're all hip and modern, so we need to throw in as many pop culture references as possible" **** you.:whatever: :cmad:

Blue Rangers:

TJ (so much better as a Blue Ranger than as a Red)

Lucas
Tori
Sky
Madison
Rocky (same as TJ, although in his case he wasn't even leader during his Red Ranger days)
Chad
Max
Justin.

Ranking Tori over Sky is wrooong. He was the only thing they did right on SPD.

Chad still had some good episodes despite not being that engaging a character. He reminded me of rangers from the MMPR era; cast because of his fighting skills,

[TheCorpulent1]

Something about the actor who played Sky really made me despise him. It's actually a credit to the strength of Sky's character arc in SPD that he even made it that high.

[Justice Bringer]

lol he could actually *act* unlike Tori and her *nails on the chalkboard* delivery.

SPD had one of the better casts since they cast all North American actors.

[November Rain]

are the yellow rangers by default the ones that get overlooked the most?

it's not like they are the primary woman since that is the pink so they are just like....

there...

:confused:

i cant ever remember a cool yellow ranger ep or moment.

[TheCorpulent1]

Katie from TF and Dustin from NS were fun Yellow Rangers. The rest have been somewhat unremarkable. Even Taylor, who was supposed to have Air Force training and be a natural leader, sucked.
lol he could actually *act* unlike Tori and her *nails on the chalkboard* delivery.

SPD had one of the better casts since they cast all North American actors.
He could act, that wasn't the problem. There's just something about him that made me hate him. It's totally irrational, but it is there.

[Justice Bringer]

Maybe because his character was an intolerant racist, sexist *******. But...thats why I loved him.

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe I gotta rewatch SPD or something. I never did see too many episodes in total, just random eps here and there.

[Justice Bringer]

My favorite Yellow Ranger episode was this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dIdI7t-CpQ

[TheCorpulent1]

Maya was all right. I wished she would stay in warrior-woman mode rather than morphing, though. She was hot. :up:

[Justice Bringer]

She wasnt much of a warrior. I preferred her in slut mode.

Same for miss tight leather...Karone.

I wish Karone was there from the start.

[Abaddon]

They originally planned on using Cassie.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm glad they went with Karone too. Cassie was cute, but Karone was smoking hot. Plus, it gave the Lost Galaxy series more of a connection to the MMPR-PRiS era, which is always good.

[Justice Bringer]

Yeah Cassie wouldnt have brought much to LG storywise.

[Catman]

are the yellow rangers by default the ones that get overlooked the most?

Yes, but there are exceptions!

Because its non-union!

The only ranger to have moved on to a semi decent acting career has been that guy from Wild Force that ended up on Enterprise. And where is he now?:o

Nowhere because theres no such person.


And Kira was a lameass poser.

The only ranger to have moved on to a semi decent acting career has been that guy from Wild Force that ended up on Enterprise. And where is he now?:o

Thats not true. Amy Jo Johnson (Kimberly) has had the best acting career. She was on Felicity!

[Justice Bringer]

Walter Jones (Zack) had a career in the 90s. Archie Kao (Kai) is currently the biggest name off PR (hes a regular on CSI).
