LMFAO! Alpha was kept in a friggin storage room. :D Poor Alpha! He deserved better. :csad:

[Webhead2006]

I thought the second part was pretty cool. I liked the warehouse unmorph fight it was cool. It was great to see alpha(turbo alpha5/alpha 6) again. I think they said it was alpha 6. The voice was a little bad it would have been great if they got the original alpha voice actor. Also adam's new morph sequence was wicked sweet. Ending was pretty good lol homage to oldschool times.

[Catman]

It was great to see alpha(turbo alpha5/alpha 6) again.

Did you notice that he got taller?

[RangerKing]

I don't think he got taller, I could be wrong.

[Catman]

I don't think he got taller, I could be wrong.

Alpha didn't get taller. They just used a taller...actor.

[Webhead2006]

Yea he was a bit taller they probably couldnt get a shorter actor or jackie/khoci probably forgot how tall alpha was.

[SPIDER-MAN-ROX]

Yes, but there are exceptions!

Because its non-union!

It was great seeing Kira again.:D She's gotten even hotter over the past 3 years. Sally Martin who played the light blue ranger wasn't bad looking either.

[Catman]

Yea he was a bit taller they probably couldnt get a shorter actor or jackie/khoci probably forgot how tall alpha was.

Alpha was almost as tall as Adam! :wow:

[Primal Slayer]

ya that was a stupid moment just to show off the usual "Red Ranger" being a power house.

Thrax should be ashamed of himself for being defeated so easily. Rita and Zedd would be so dissapointed.

[Justice Bringer]

Considering he had no ranger power in that scene made it lamer.

[zeptron]

I agree. Thrax was defeated way to easily. The son of two of the greatest villains in PR defeated by a character we've hardly ever seen before?

[November Rain]

Q710pzG8Zm4

[Nathan]

Nice. The Power Rangers have often got some nice action scenes. Sometimes I wish the sentai versions would be as flashy.

[Super Kal]

... does he have to scream "fire"?...

[uchiha_itachi]

so then the other rangers can go "with fire" otherwise it wouldnt make sense

[November Rain]

i wonder who would win in a fight between zack and adam...

they could fight over the power to wield the black power coin kinda like how angel and spike fought over the soul in angel series five's destiny.

what an awesome ep that would be.

Ultimately, i think they should do like a guest starring series where no person appears more than two eps (except for the finale where everybody turns up), have it completely unique to sentai and just have guest rangers in it every week fighting along side other rangers from other groups.

or have some bad dude capture them all on something like tera venture and have them compete in a tournament where they all have to bout each other, either in pairs, as whole teams on on their own till two remain (obviously tommy and jason) and they have to duke it out for the lives of their team members or the earth or something.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't think Adam and Zack would fight over the power coin unless one of them were rendered evil, dude. And if one were evil, obviously the good one would win.

Also, I think Eric might well kick Jason's ass and be the last man standing against Tommy in such a tournament. Such is the badassity of Eric. :up:

[Justice Bringer]

Yeah Eric would probably take down Tommy too; Eric fights dirty.

[November Rain]

andros would own him though, andros eats psycho rangers for breakfast

lol. Even though Tommy on the show (and real life) is the best martial artist.

[TheCorpulent1]

Is he? Daniel Southworth and Johnny Yong Bosch are supposed to be fantastic martial artists themselves. I don't know how they compare to Jason David Frank, though.

[Justice Bringer]

There are 3 martial artists on PR that could potentially beat JDF. JYB (whom I'm not sure still pratices though), Dan Southworth and Mike Chat (Chad LSR; amazing martial artist and stunt actor).

[Kal-El 8]

I Seriously doubt that . Jason David Frank is still the only (Ranger) one that trains, work's out & teaches martial artists . The rest of them haven't .

So he have a huge advantage over all 3 of them .

[Abaddon]

Steve Cardenas is still involved in martial arts I think.

[RangerKing]

I'm in contact with Mike Chat, he still trains believe me.

I just remember wondering why Tommy grew a soul patch and was cheating on Catherine. :dry:

Now the Yellow Ranger from Lost Galaxy, she appeared on that show and went on to GREAT things. If ya know what I mean

[November Rain]

alright, here are probably the best fighters in their prime on power rangers

http://www.rangercentral.com/images/mmpr-rg-jason.jpg

he had obvious skill

http://www.rangercentral.com/images/mmpr-rg-zack.jpg
zack was badass especially when he got his hair in braids...saying this he probably wasn't that good a fighter but he was a damn good acrobat

http://www.rangercentral.com/images/mmpr-rg-tommy2.jpg

nuff said about tommy although in the show, i think jason was supposed to be a superior martial artist to him

http://www.rangercentral.com/images/mmpr-rg-adam.jpg
another great martial artist although again, he gets taken out by jason in a sparring match when he comes back as the gold ranger


http://www.rangercentral.com/images/prlr-rg-chad.jpg
chad had a special ep dedicated to his fighting skills.

i also wonder if kai was a good fighter or not from lost galaxy.

http://www.rangercentral.com/images/prtf-rg-eric.jpg
eric did the most impressive fight scenes during the forever red team up


if these six ever team up.....****...

[Justice Bringer]

Well she was only cast on PR for T+A too.... the producers were so smart then :word:

[Justice Bringer]

Justin Nimmo (Zhane) is a pro martial artist too; but unfortunately we never got to see his moves onscreen.

Sean CW Johnson also has a blackbelt I heard.

[RangerKing]

And I lost all respect for Frank when when he appeared in MTV's "undressed". That raped my childhood.

Actors do that so they aren't type casted...which some actors are after they appear on Power Rangers. For most of the actors in the US to have that on your resume is almost a career killer.

[TheCorpulent1]

With good reason in some cases. A lot of PR's actors were really bad.

[Catman]

nuff said about tommy although in the show, i think jason was supposed to be a superior martial artist to him.

They were equals.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's the impression I always got. They tended to kick the ass of anyone else they sparred with, but whenever they sparred each other they just went on forever.

Also, they dressed alike when they sparred--wifebeaters in their respective colors with black pants.

[Catman]

HOWEVER, the show wasn't very consistant. In the beginning of the first Green with Evil episode, Tommy and Jason, fought in a tournament and it was a tie.

yw4CfYF1MLI

YET as the Green Ranger, Tommy, kicked everyones ass.

cM6mJnNTl54

[Justice Bringer]

Because as Green Ranger; his powers were stronger.

Its the same reason that pussy Trent beat down Tommy's ass badly when Trent was evil White Ranger.

[Catman]

Because as Green Ranger; his powers were stronger.

True, but there is an inconsistency that MANY overlook. In the first GWE episode before Rita kidnaps Tommy she sents the putties to attack him as a way to test his skills. Tommy defeats all of them by himself. YET in the first PR episode the 5 Rangers couldn't defeat the putties unmorphed.

[TheCorpulent1]

There are inconsistencies all over PR history. Tommy kicked Goldar's ass without powers in a clip that was recently posted here a couple times.

[RangerKing]

There are inconsistencies and retcons all through the show, show me a show that doesn't.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hey, let's post some all-star teams. Who would you put on a standard PR team (6 Rangers + an optional non-Ranger ally, if you like) if you could choose from everyone in PR? Mine would be:

Tommy (White MMPR) (Leader)
Andros (Red Space)
Kai (Blue Lost Galaxy)
Jason (Gold Zeo)
Adam (Green Zeo)
Eric (Quantum Time Force)
Magna Defender (Lost Galaxy, pre-Mike)

Yes, it's a sausage-fest, but most of the women on PR kind of suck. They're never really portrayed as being as awesome as the guys.

[Justice Bringer]

Tommy (White MMPR) (Leader)
Andros (Red Space)
Kai (Blue Lost Galaxy)
Jason (Gold Zeo)
Adam (Green Zeo)
Eric (Quantum Time Force)
Magna Defender (Lost Galaxy, pre-Mike)


Thats a badass team;

I'm assuming Jason as Gold is in the place of Yellow and Tommy as White is in the place of White/Pink on the traditional team.

The only issue with this team is Magna D is dead and theres 2 LG members on it and 2 Zeo rangers on it. Otherwise its good.



I'd probably replace Kai with Sky and go with Adam in MMPR Black instead (since ZyuBlack is different enough from DaiWhite).

Or I'd replace Blue with Silverish and have Ryan appear as the effin Titanium Ranger. He was a badass powerhouse;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_blAoJwNjA

[TheCorpulent1]

We've already discussed my issues with Sky. ;)

Magna Defender's death means nothing. I'm sure PR could bring him back if they wanted, especially with a Time Force member on the team. I know I have two Zeo members, but the only other option is making Adam the Black MMPR, which I never really thought of as his, or the Green Turbo Ranger, which is... a Turbo Ranger... :dry:

Anyway, can you imagine the sort of monstrosity you'd need to pose a challenge to their zords? The Quantasaurus Rex, the White Tiger or the Falconzord, the Torozord, the Red Delta Zord, and Pyramidas, plus the Magna Defender can grow to giant-size and fight alongside them.

[Justice Bringer]

How would a TF member be able to bring Magna Defender back from the dead?

If he removed him back from Time in the past, it would alter the present.

[Catman]

There are inconsistencies all over PR history. Tommy kicked Goldar's ass without powers in a clip that was recently posted here a couple times.

lol. That was me. But, yeah, he defeated Goldar unmorphed which is something Jason could never do.

[Cmill216]

Hey, let's post some all-star teams. Who would you put on a standard PR team (6 Rangers + an optional non-Ranger ally, if you like) if you could choose from everyone in PR?

Kira

Eric

[Frank]

[Catman]

Jason FOUGHT Goldar unmorphed several times but he never defeated him. Tommy was like the only one to accomplish it.

[RangerKing]

Why is it that everything you have to say is negative? It's truely called an opinion.

[Cmill216]

Thats a great team with the exception of Kira. She contributes nothing.

I liked Kira. That's why she's on my team.

[Justice Bringer]

I liked Kira. That's why she's on my team.

She just seems like a major weak link on such a strong kickass team.

I still never understood why Sentinel Knight picked her randomly out of all the rangers; they never explained the logic behind it.

[RangerKing]

Wait they are a "strong kickass team" yet Trent is a "pussy"? Now that's some logic that I can't understand.

[Justice Bringer]

Trent is a pussy but if I had to pick only Disney rangers; his powers were some of the strongest; if not way too strong for him.

In that story I wrote that the logic behind that team being selected was they possessed some of the strongest powers out there.

I may not like the Trent character; but his personality is irrelevant to how necessary his powers would be in a situation that requires a strong offensive.

But I dont expect you to grasp such a simplistic concept.

[Abaddon]

Stop arguing, guys. It's not the Power Ranger way.:(

[Cmill216]

:huh:

But how can you really gauge powers between seasons? It's not like they've ever had a big friggin' deathmatch to decide who's the strongest. Because of the different power origins and weapons, there really is no way to tell who could beat who. Sure Dino Thunder (specifically Connor) had a bajillion power-ups, but could he beat someone like Jen, a chick trained in the art of ass-kickery?

I wouldn't choose a "special" team based on some imaginary power scale. I would choose a team based on what characters would mesh the best.

[Justice Bringer]

:huh:

Jen wasnt that skilled of a fighter actually. She got her ass kicked by Nadira and then the crap beat out of her by Ransik unmorphed. She never really proved she could fight well unmorphed.

Conner unmorphed has superspeed; thats a major advantage in beating Jen.

Gauging powers between seasons isnt hard. Trent's powers would have had to be really strong regardless considering how he wiped the floor with Tommy as DT Black on several occasions. When Tommy can't hold his own against a ranger, that rangers powers....are pretty powerful.


I wouldn't choose a "special" team based on some imaginary power scale. I would choose a team based on what characters would mesh the best?.

I guess it depends on your story....but its strange for a team of Allstar rangers to be selected for their personalities.... :/

I dont think Kira's personality would really fit with the others you chose anyway; Andros, Sky, Eric and Jen are hardcore serious rangers and Adam is quiet and disiplined. Kira just makes bad puns and sings kiddie soft pop.

[Trainwreck2100]

Not, if when they were done, he was returned back to the timeline a milisecond after they retrieved him.

I find it quite satisfying that andros has been chosen as being the definitive red ranger badass.

however i'm not sure after seeing some of those titanium ranger clips how eric would be able to handle him as the quantum ranger.

wasn't the green samurai ranger pretty badass, everyone seems to leave out ninja storm.


as for a definitive team, i'm not sure how productive having jason, andros and tommy all on the same team really is.

if i had to truelly follow one, i'd rather have andros leading.

actually screw the whole team, i'd just have andros and eric. I reckon they could take any two other rangers in combat, even a tommy/jason combo because the rest are used to working in a team and andros and eric are more self reliant than most rangers.

[Justice Bringer]

wasn't the green samurai ranger pretty badass, everyone seems to leave out ninja storm.

No.. Cam got turned into a fly as soon as he got the GSR powers = not badass.

:dry:

[Nathan]

The Sentai Samurai Ranger kicked all kinds of ass. Too bad I was never able to watch the whole season.

[Justice Bringer]

Yeah Shurikenger rocked. He wasnt a Samurai in the sentai though.

He was the Ninja of Ninjas.

[Nathan]

I forgot what he was called again. It was really funny everytime he tried to speak english. And he was always a laid back kinda guy.

[RangerKing]

what was Zordon's story anyway? Some alien dude trapped in an interdimensional tube?

Zordon had a body. In the official Power Rangers fanclub video, and briefly in the show itself, Zordon was shown in a robe and power staff in a mystical place...probably the original Command Center. While fighting Rita, she trapped him in an interdimensional time warp which unlike Rita, he was able to communicate with the outside world. The tube he was in was the only way he could communicate and if something happened he wouldn't be able to communicate. In Turbo Lerigot, a wizard from the planet of Liara, was able to release him from the time warp and Zordon returned to his planet of Eltare. At the end of Turbo, he was captured by the forces of Dark Specter and as revealed in Space, apprantly by Astronema. More than likely due to his age, Zordon still required the use of a plasma tube that or to keep him contained. At the end of Space he was destroyed by Andros at his own request of self-sacrifice to destroy or purify the evil attacking at that time. The ones completely destroyed were the Goldar (and others) Machine Empire, General Havoc, Elgar, and Ecliptor. The ones purified were Rita, Zedd, Divatox, and Astronema.

[PyroChamber]

It never really accured to me that Zordon had a body until I saw MMPR: The Movie, and he was out of the tube.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I thought Zordon was just from a race of giant, floating heads for years. :o

[RangerKing]

Technically anything you saw in the movie wasn't even a part of the show's continuity, so you can't really count that. Though, the fan club video and episode he was featured in did predate the movie.

[TheCorpulent1]

Wasn't he supposed to be an ancient wizard?

[Incrediblejeff]

I have always thought a prequel type mini-series would have been pretty cool.Showing the battles between Rita & Zordon.It could be animated.

[TheCorpulent1]

That would be cool. Unfortunately, it'd cost money, which is exactly what Power Rangers was designed not to do right from the start.

[Incrediblejeff]

Yeah,It'll probably never happen.I can always dream though.

[TheCorpulent1]

I dream about cool things being done with PR a lot. Unfortunately, what we'll end up getting every year is probably always just going to be another show that slightly modifies some existing sentai.

I didn't like Andros. He cared more about finding his sister than saving Zordon.

I see. So how did Rita get trapped on the Moon?

The Power Rangers? :huh:

[Justice Bringer]

Ten thousand years ago there was a legendary battle of good vs evil between the Morphin Masters and Rita's forces. The Morphin Masters were like a group of mythical sages (like Jedi Knights); from Eltar (Zordon's homeworld). Zordon was their leader.

In the end Rita imprisoned Zordon in a timewarp but his forces locked her away in a space dumpster.

Zordon established the command center on a primative Earth. Ninjor forged the power coins based off the ancient Dinosaur creatures that ruled that planet.

[TheCorpulent1]

"The Morphin Masters"? Where does that come from? :confused:
I didn't like Andros. He cared more about finding his sister than saving Zordon.
He was kind of a dick at first, but he wound up being awesome. Plus, he's one of the only Rangers ever who could apparently fight evil effectively by himself for a very long period.

[Abaddon]

I hated Ninjor.

[TheCorpulent1]

I think most people did. I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they cast his voice actor.

Wasn't Ninjor one of Zordon's crew of ancient badasses who fought Rita back in the day?

[Primal Slayer]

I didn't like Andros. He cared more about finding his sister than saving Zordon.


Seeing as though Karone is his last family member (it seems) left, and she is his baby sister, I dont see wahts wrong with choosing her over finding Zordon when we had 4 other teammates trying hard as hell to find him.

I think most people did. I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they cast his voice actor.

They wanted Ninjor to be funny...but ya hated his voice aswell.

I dont think he was part of Zordons crew, all he did was make all the powercoins and give them to Z.

[Abaddon]

it's like the guy was doing a Marvin Martian impression.:huh::down

[Nathan]

Ninjor, the name alone is stupid. Come on, a Ninja with the name Ninjor.

[Catman]

He was kind of a dick at first, but he wound up being awesome. Plus, he's one of the only Rangers ever who could apparently fight evil effectively by himself for a very long period.

If Tommy wasn't losing his powers every week he probably could have done the same.

[Catman]

Seeing as though Karone is his last family member (it seems) left, and she is his baby sister, I dont see wahts wrong with choosing her over finding Zordon when we had 4 other teammates trying hard as hell to find him.

He had spent YEARS looking for her. I'm sure he could have taken a month off to look for Zordon. Heck, you can make the argument that if Andros would have looked for Zordon from the getgo maybe he wouldn't have been forced to kill him at the end.

[Nathan]

Ah, come on. That doesn't sound very reasonable. "Heck, I've been searching for my sister for years, think I'm gonna take a break and do another job." If he takes a month off, he might as well just quit looking for her.

[Catman]

Ah, come on. That doesn't sound very reasonable. "Heck, I've been searching for my sister for years, think I'm gonna take a break and do another job." If he takes a month off, he might as well just quit looking for her.

So looking for his sister is more important than saving Earth?

[Nathan]

If I remember correctly he managed to do both. So Zordon bit the dust. It can't always be a complete happy ending.

[Trainwreck2100]

The Pilot of PR in Space, didn't he crash a meeting of baddies while looking for Zordon?

[Abaddon]

It'd have been cooler if we'd seen some of the older power rangers involved in the fight.(Alien rangers dont count:cmad::down)

[Nathan]

Haven't really followed the in Space run, but in the final battle all previous Rangers should've definitely been involved.

[Catman]

If I remember correctly he managed to do both.

Only after discovering that Astronma (or however you spell her name) was his sister. Before that he would disappear in the middle of the night looking for his sis. What if he would have been killed? The other Rangers weren't Space Rangers. They didn't know what they were doing. They needed Andros yet the mofo would leave in the middle of the night without telling anyone.

in the final battle all previous Rangers should've definitely been involved.

Thats what I hated about C2D.

[Primal Slayer]

He couldve been killed looking for Zordon. Looking for Zordon is a higher death risk then looking for his sister. Look for Zordon and you deal with Dark Spectre and co. for sure.

Im glad he never gave up looking for Karone. He took being a brother before being a Ranger.

Tj and co. couldve done the job without him had he bitten the dust, they still had Alpha and the astro ship.

[Catman]

They weren't Space Rangers. They needed Andros.

[Trainwreck2100]

They weren't Space Rangers. They needed Andros.

They had the silver ranger

[TheCorpulent1]

Geez, you make it sound like Andros is their parent. They weren't Space Rangers, but they were capable, intelligent adults. I'm sure they could've figured out how to find Zordon on their own, especially since they all got acquainted with the ship pretty quickly.

[Primal Slayer]

They just needed Andros for the morphers and thats about all. But Zordon wasnt captured until like a week or so before the Turbo Rangers hit space?

Its not like Zordon had been captured for years and Andros spent all that time ignoring it. Andros was looking for his sister long before Zordon even got captured.

But what did you expect one person to do against an entire army? Andros was better off looking for Karone for that week then looking for Zordon since he couldnt do anything that effective by himself.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, didn't he basically just look for Zordon and his sister simultaneously? If he got a clue about Karone, he'd follow it up; if he got a clue about Zordon, he'd follow it up. I think Catman just wants to hate on Andros, which is just wrong.

Unless he's hating on Andros' hair. That, I could understand.

[Trainwreck2100]

Unless he's hating on Andros' hair. That, I could understand.


He did have womanly hair. I never got the fact that to use the galaxy gliders you had to say "Hang 10" Which when you think about it made no sense.

[RangerKing]

"The Morphin Masters"? Where does that come from? :confused:

Episode 16, Big Sisters. Though they weren't the ones who battled Rita, they simply hid the Power Eggs.


And to the person who asked about Ninjor. No, Ninjor was not a part of Zordon's forces. Zordon and Alpha found the Power Coins and a map to the Temple of Power, but did not know if the "legend" of Ninjor was real. Though the rangers went on the quest because they were desperate for new powers and new zords.

[Nathan]

Power Eggs?

[Trainwreck2100]

Power Eggs?

Where do you think power chickens came from?

The Morphin Masters is probably the dumbest name I've ever heard. Even in Power Rangers, which is saying something.

Also, I was the one who asked about Ninjor and Zordon's connection. Didn't Ninjor create the original Power Coins, though? Or did Zordon create those and then know of some vague, unconfirmed legend that a guy named Ninjor created Ninja Power Coins?

[RangerKing]

No. Ninjor created all of the Power Coins, except for the White Tiger Coin. He also created the Ninja Zords, Battle Zords, and the Alien Rangers' Power Coins as well.

[TheCorpulent1]

So how did Zordon believe he was a legend if he, like, had stuff from him? :confused:

[Trainwreck2100]

So how did Zordon believe he was a legend if he, like, had stuff from him? :confused:

Maybe he thought he was dead.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I guess. I didn't really think that one through.

I can't remember; were Zordon and anyone else in the series allies in those ancient times when Zordon was still a grade-A ass-kicker?

[Trainwreck2100]

Don't think so, but who was that chick that they brought in to replace him? The one with the veil, she might have been old lik him.

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh God, Dimitria. She sucked so much. :(

[Primal Slayer]

I guess since Zordon just found the powercoins and didnt see Ninjor, he thought that the legend was that Ninjor is the one who created the coins but there wasnt any proof that it was Ninjor at the time since he didnt appear to anyone.

Don't think so, but who was that chick that they brought in to replace him? The one with the veil, she might have been old lik him.

Divatoxs supposed twin sister. Its been forever since ive seen Turbo, I think she is from Eltar aswell.

[TheCorpulent1]

She's from Inquiris. Remember, that's why she phrased everything as a question? Until they forgot about that after a few episodes, at least.

[Catman]

They had the silver ranger

Zhane was AWESOME! He was the best character in PRiS. HOWEVER...he was frozen for like half the season.

They weren't Space Rangers, but they were capable, intelligent adults.

Dude, they were 17-18 yr old HS kids. In the beginning of the season they hadn't even graduated HS yet. Remember the episode where they took Andros to Earth and he ended befriending some kiddie car thiefs. lol.

did you expect one person to do against an entire army?

He could have figured out a way to bring back the other Rangers. :huh:

They're 17/18-year-olds who've willingly taken on the responsibility of protecting the world. They had enough ingenuity to sneak onto their equivalent of a NASA shuttle without powers when they needed to get into space. I think they could've figured out a way to carry on without Andros. The path probably would've been much harder, but they could've done it.

It was pre 9/11 so it was really easy. Seriously even though I was somewhat young I had trouble believing that little plot point.

True, but had they been forced to do that nobody would have liked Andros. lol.

Nothing makes sense in the PR world. Ex: why do the villains ALWAYS attack in the afternoon? Wouldn't it make more sense if they attacked during school hours or late at night when they're at home?

Without Andros? They wouldnt have a chance. No megaship, no powers, limited fuel on the Nasada shuttlecraft.

No defenses on the craft. They would have been blown out of the sky.

[TheCorpulent1]

I meant if Andros had died looking for his sister, like Catman said. They would still have the Megaship, Alpha, their powers, and everything; they'd just be out a leader.

They attacked pretty much all day in "Day of the Dino." :)

I get what you mean, though. Why do they always send one squad of cannon fodder down to fight the Rangers, too? Every villain seems to have an unlimited supply of whatever their foot soldiers are. Why not just send wave after wave until the Rangers are overwhelmed by sheer numbers?

[Primal Slayer]

Because villans arent that smart. That and they always underestimate the Rangers, plus even bad guys need to sleep.

Rita attacked the rangers family members on several occassions and put a spell on Kim while she was sleeping if I remember correctly.

But ya basically everything in PR is hard to believe, but ofcourse thats why it is fantasy. I always wondered why and how the Turbo Rangers were able to live in space and not have their parents wonder where they were for so long, plus they still went to highschool on occassion. I wonder if they even graduated...

Or how come we were never introduced to all the Teenage Rangers parents (besides MMPR) at one point in time.

[RangerKing]

She's from Inquiris. Remember, that's why she phrased everything as a question? Until they forgot about that after a few episodes, at least.

It's my belief she only spoke in questions to the first Turbo team because they had been rangers for too long to be told everything. The second Turbo team needed the guidance that Zordon at one time gave.

It always bugged me that we never saw or heard about Dimitira again.

[Catman]

They attacked pretty much all day in "Day of the Dino." :)

First day of school. They had no homework. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

More night battles would be great. That one from "Day of the Dino" ruled.

[Justice Bringer]

And they only did it to fit with the Jap footage unfortunately.

I liked that battle in Trakeenas Revenge where Leo took on the Ghouls in the rain at night.

There was an episode of TF full of night battles; "Beware the Knight" that was awesome!

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, they do everything to fit with the Japanese footage, except for specials and unmorphed stuff. It's sad too, 'cause I think the American fight scenes are easily better than the sentai ones. Just look at "Forever Red" (minus the Serpentor weirdness) and compare it to the fights the sentai gives us.

[Primal Slayer]

They really need to get rid of the whole genetic powers thing in future incarnations of PR. Not only would it save money it also be one less thing they have to write in the script. The powers were cool at first for Ninja Storm but they are just a waste of time and make the teams seem weaker when not morphed.

A lot of things are better when they do their own footage (fights, villans) just look at SPDs premire episode when they made their own aliens they looked great! If PR didnt have to rely so much on Sentai footage, it would be so good. And well if they got better writers aswell nowadays.

[TheCorpulent1]

I've said before that an all-American-made PR series would ****ing rule. With Koichi choreographing everything instead of the unmorphed fight scenes? It would be awesome.

I don't get the need for genetic powers every season, either. It made sense in SPD and Mystic Force and maybe NS, but DT? OO? Did they really need non-Ranger powers?

[Justice Bringer]

Disney demands the rangers have them. I guess they dont want the rangers to appear that vulnerable when unmorphed...

But its really retarded. We've got to the point where we are repeating genetic powers now.

[Catman]

More night battles would be great. That one from "Day of the Dino" ruled.

Day of the Dino and MMPR: The Movie feature like the only night battles.

It's sad too, 'cause I think the American fight scenes are easily better than the sentai ones.

Sort of. I remember in the MMPR days the unmorphed fight scenes were awesome. Yet when they did a morphed one it sucked. Why? Cause the unmorphed fights were usually a fight scene at a park. And the morphed ones involved visual effects which they did a worse job than the Sentai cause they were cheap.

I like in once a ranger, Adam was the only one without powers and he still beat up everyone.

"It may be oldschool, but it still gets the job done." :up:

[Justice Bringer]

I didnt like that line, because it just further solidified that the days of rangers without genetic powers is now 'oldschool' :(

[TheCorpulent1]

But it also makes Adam look so much more awesome than anyone else. And, really, how can that be a bad thing? :D

They seem to do all right with visual effects in the Battlizer scenes since they introduced them, and those are American-made 99% of the time. That seems to be one area where Disney actually improved the show.

[Justice Bringer]

Except the battlizers with Disney got really lame.... Dragon Yoyo? Super stretch? The dog?

[TheCorpulent1]

But they still looked good.

[Justice Bringer]

The fight scenes? Maybe. I found the use of cheap CGI kinda lame in some.

The stunt coordinator; Koichi Sakamoto was the same guy throughout those Saban days and Disney; hes just advanced a bit since the old days.

My biggest problem with him nowadays is his overuse of slowmo explosions.

[TheCorpulent1]

The special effects. The Dino Thunder Battlizer looked pretty awesome, as far as I'm concerned. Yes, their CG models of the Red Rangers could use some refining, but compared to the other effects we get in the show? Pretty damn sweet.

[Justice Bringer]

I think the lame powers of that battlizer ruined it for me. It was like Inspector Gagdet.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's true, the Battlizers are a mixed bag at best.

[Justice Bringer]

This was the best night battle episode;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU7ywFTmqMA

All the action was during the night and it was an american footage ep.

FYI the CGI for the dragon creature is pretty impressive for PR I'd say.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I remember that episode. That was one of Time Force's best. :up:

[RangerKing]

I didnt like that line, because it just further solidified that the days of rangers without genetic powers is now 'oldschool' :(

The only ones there who had genetic powers were Kira and Bridge and even then Bridge's genetic power isn't at all defensive. Tori's is her training as a water ninja and Xander's is through his magic. So...

[TheCorpulent1]

I think he meant all unmorphed powers when he said "genetic" powers. Adam's the only one who was a totally normal human being without morphing.

[November Rain]

if a ranger becomes powerful without the need to morph then it really cheapens their full morphed powers...

the only real change to this rule was when the rangers were in ninja mode and they had all their ninjitsu powers but they were still somewhat in a morphed state back then...

i missed the ninja rangers. they should have based a whole series on those bad boys.

[RangerKing]

Oh I know what he was trying to say. I was just saying technically only Kira and Bridge had them and Bridge cannot use them while fighting. Which was odd. All of the S.P.D. rangers could've used their powers for fighting (being able to turn your skin into any material you touch, multiplication, force fields, phasing, and teleportation) and Bridge got the short end of the stick.

I just realized something, Ronny and Conner both have the same powers (in my opinion) as well as Rose and Tommy & Trent. Though you could dispute whether or not Tommy and Trent had the same powers. Tommy had the power of invisibility and Trent had chameleon powers, but when Trent used them, it was as if he had the power of invisibility.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's what happens when you have to put powers into every season. There's bound to be some overlap.

[RangerKing]

I really don't mind the powers. I mind that they are not used often enough in my opinion. With the powers it opens the door for less phyiscal unmorphed fights, but there aren't more of them.

Though rangers previous to Ninja Storm did show signs of powers, or at least extraordinary abilities.

[TheCorpulent1]

They seem so tacked-on to me. The Rangers already get powers when they morph; why give them intermediate powers while they're regular people? It takes the emphasis in the show off of martial arts, which is like 60% of the reason I watched PR to begin with.

[Justice Bringer]

The only ones there who had genetic powers were Kira and Bridge and even then Bridge's genetic power isn't at all defensive. Tori's is her training as a water ninja and Xander's is through his magic. So...

Uh last time I checked Ninjas didnt have random unmorphed superpowers like that...

Otherwise Batman would be kicking Superman's ass..

Even the MMPR rangers had to morph into a Ninja powered mode to do that stuff.

The unmorphed superpowers were unnecessary in NS, DT, SPD, and OO.

[TheCorpulent1]

I wish we could get more of the MMPR Ninja Rangers. They had such cool costumes.

[Nathan]

Say, does anyone know if the Power Rangers GBA games are worth playing? I remember the old MMPR game being fun, and I'm in the mood to play another PR game. Or what about Dino Thunder for the PS2?

[Nathan]

Btw, did anyone see this already? I saw screens for the DS posted, but not for the PS2.

I've been hoping for a new PR game on the PS2, but this doesn't really look all that impressive. The graphics remind me of that TMNT Mutant Melee Fighter or whatever it was called.

[Justice Bringer]

Okay guys. Heres a new challenge. Make a PR Super Legends team. Pretty much 12 rangers (one from each season) from the past seasons to team up with OO Red.

Rules: There must be AT LEAST one ranger of each color.


Heres my lineup;

Zack (MMPR Black)

Jason (Zeo Gold)

Cassie (Turbo Pink)

Andros (Space Red)

Kai (Galaxy Blue)

Ryan (Lightspeed Titanium)

Eric (TF Quantum)

Taylor (WF Yellow)

Cam (NS Green Samurai)

Tommy (DT Black)

Sky (SPD Blue)

Nick (MF Red)

[Nathan]

Started to watch the Dino Thunders Season today. Just watched the first two Episodes and I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it. I hope the rest of the Episodes are just as good.

[Justice Bringer]

Yeah DT started off great. So much potential.

I've never seen a series start so good and gradually go downhill episode by episode like this...well, except for Smallville.

[Nathan]

And I thought there'd be finally another American Season I could finally enjoy again. Well, I'll just keep watching and just stop when I don't like it anymore.

Btw, since we're getting another PR game, which doesn't look all that promising, I was wondering what kind of PR game you'd all like, and who you'd think should develop it. I'd really like a PR fighting game, developed by Dimps. If we can't get a high quality PR game, someone like Dimps should be sufficient. They've shown several time with the DBZ: Budokai games and Saint Seiya that they are able to make decent Anime licensed fighting games.

[Justice Bringer]

Well the show only goes majorly downhill when JDF/Tommy is stuck in his suit around ep 14 or 15. He remains that way for 1/3 of the season as the eps start to get lamer and lamer.

[Cmill216]

Started to watch the Dino Thunders Season today. Just watched the first two Episodes and I'm surprised how much I enjoyed it. I hope the rest of the Episodes are just as good.

IMO, it's a top 5 season. Definitely the best of the Disney era. And though the second half of the season does falter a bit, there's still the terrific teamup two parter with Ninja Storm and "Fighting Spirit".

[Justice Bringer]

Oh yeah. Its definately the best of the Disney Era because there isnt any competition in the Disney Era.

Hmm....I'd rank them:


PRTF

PRiS

PRLG

PRLSR

PRDT

PRZ

MMPR

PROO

PRWF

Green - Xanda Mystic Force

Yellow - Ronny Operation Overdrive.

I think thats every season.


Just a question. I know there was a Ranger Team-up in Dino Thunder and Overdrive. Was there also one in Mystic Force?


Nope there wasn't they couldn't think os a story for one but in Magi ranger there was one with Deka I liked it.

[RangerKing]

I'm not going to rank them, but I'll say the top three are Space, Dino Thunder, Lost Galaxy and the bottom is season one.

[Bastila]

I'm not going to rank them, but I'll say the top three are Space, Dino Thunder, Lost Galaxy and the bottom is season one.

Interesting never seen MMPR last one someone list but on mine its not at the top either there are better seasons most people say it as its the first season or the only one they remeber but I think your view is interesting its good to see other people not thinking that MMPR was the best.


My top 3 are
1. Time Force
2. In Sapce
3. SPD

Last is Lightspeed ew hated it.

[Nathan]

Space
Time Force
MMPR season 2
Lost Galaxy
Zeo
Dino Thunder
MMPR season 3
Ninja Storm
Mystic Force
MMPR season 1
Lightspeed Rescue
SPD
Turbo
Wild Force

Thats a good lineup but I prefer Jason, Tommy and Adam (or Zack) all in Black (Gold Zeo, Black DT, Black MMPR); that'd be badass. :word:

[Nathan]

Just played some of the GBA and old SNES games. Really boring. Why can't they make some decent beat 'em ups for the consoles? A game maybe similar to Dynasty Warriors would be great. Just imagine slaying as Doggie Kruger hundreds of those robot drones like in the series.

[TheCorpulent1]

Thats a good lineup but I prefer Jason, Tommy and Adam (or Zack) all in Black (Gold Zeo, Black DT, Black MMPR); that'd be badass. :word:
The White MMPR is definitely my favorite Tommy incarnation. I think he was easily at his best back then. He was actually kind of embarrassing in DT for most of the season. :(

Yeah but if he morphs into White MMPR now; its not like his old school personality and characterization would return too. He's Dr O now.

[Bastila]

How's Overdrive btw? I haven't watched any Episode except for the Team-up special. From that one Episode alone I already dislike the entire cast.

You know some episodes are a bit meh but I actually like the team really, its better then Mystic Force, but I actually like OO.

I haven't seen the team up yet, I heard there are new morphs in it for the old rangers?

[Nathan]

It's funny. When I saw the Mystic Force cast on first glance I really liked them. When I saw Overdrive's cast I couldn't stand them. Especially that Asian guy.

And yeah, Adam got a new Morphing sequence. I think it looks actually pretty cool.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah but if he morphs into White MMPR now; its not like his old school personality and characterization would return too. He's Dr O now.
Yeah, well, I still like his White Ranger costume more than all his others, too. The Black Brachio Ranger costume looks a little goofy to me, with the weird crest thing on the top of the helmet and all. Plus, white tigers are totally more badass than brachiosaurs. :oldrazz:

I notice you also changed your team to have Adam and Blake instead of Cassie and Cam. Did I remind you of Adam and Blake's awesomeness with my list? :)

[RangerKing]

I don't like Dax either he's too goofy and Will is just a dick. I only like Mack, Ronny, Rose and to a degree Tyzonne.

[TheCorpulent1]

I thought Tyzonne was funny in the first episode. I haven't watched any of the rest of OO. Overall, however, I liked Mystic Force's team a lot more. Madison, Chip, and Xander were all great, Vida was all right, and Nick was tolerable.

[Nathan]

Xander, my favorite character from Mystic Force. I really liked his personality. Always trying to resolve trouble by talking, but always failing.

Yeah, well, I still like his White Ranger costume more than all his others, too. The Black Brachio Ranger costume looks a little goofy to me, with the weird crest thing on the top of the helmet and all. Plus, white tigers are totally more badass than brachiosaurs. :oldrazz:

I notice you also changed your team to have Adam and Blake instead of Cassie and Cam. Did I remind you of Adam and Blake's awesomeness with my list? :)

I figured I couldnt leave Adam out of this. And since he already covered the Green requirement; I figured another Blue-ish ranger would be a smart bet.

And Blake was the only tolerable NS ranger

[TheCorpulent1]

He and Cam were definitely my favorites of the bunch. I kind of liked Dustin too, though.

[Justice Bringer]

Dustin's okay but hes no All-star or legend.

Him and Tori were the weaker links of that team.


Cam was never that convincing to me as a Sixth but compared to the other NS rangers; he was decent.

FYI I hate the Black Dino Helmet too; but its just alot less convoluted to have Dr O return as Black DT since thats where hes kinda evolved to at this point. Fighting Spirit was a great burial for his past powers.

[Justice Bringer]

If my Super Legends team was teaming up with the OO team in battle;

Mack with Andros and Eric

Will with Zack, Adam, and Xander

Dax with Blake and Sky

Tyzonn with Ryan, Jason and Tommy

Ronny with Taylor

Rose with Karone

Meh, no more confusing than Adam regaining the Black MMPR powers not once, but twice after they were ostensibly destroyed forever each time. Personally, I wish he'd regain his Zeo powers. I think he was at his best as the Black MMPR Ranger, but I think his Green Zeo Ranger costume looked the best.

[Obi-John-Kenobi]

The Green Ranger was the best one, in my opinion. He kicked everyone's ass and all he had was a dagger-flute.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he was good when his powers weren't futzing out every ten seconds. ;)

[Justice Bringer]

Which is why I didnt like the idea of bringing Adam back as Black MMPR. It negated the whole struggle in 'Always a Chance' (an ep Kalish prolly never saw). It worked well in Always a Chance since his morpher was pretty much powerless and failed in battle; almost destroying him.

After Fighting Spirit, it felt like Tommy was fighting with his past and put it behind him by defeating his past selves. Him showing up randomly as White MMPR would negate all that. It's easier just to leave him where hes evolved to; as DT Black; mentor of the DT rangers. We've revisited his past too often now on PR.

[TheCorpulent1]

The whole message of "Fighting Spirit" was that Tommy didn't let his powers define him. He'd been so many different Rangers with so many different powers, but he was a hero no matter what powers he had. Defeating his past selves wasn't really anything about those powers in particular, it was about Tommy remembering that he can do good with any powers or even without powers altogether. Regaining previous powers wouldn't negate anything about that; in fact, it'd serve to reinforce the fact that Tommy is the one who's valuable, not the White Ranger or the Red Zeo Ranger or the Black Brachio Ranger. Whatever powers Tommy wielded, he'd still be the valuable leader, fighter, and mentor he was by the end of "Fighting Spirit."

Plus, if you want to look at it from a continuity standpoint: Tommy burned out the Black Brachio stone at the end of DT, lost the Green Ranger powers long, long ago, passed the Red Turbo Ranger powers onto TJ, and lost the White Ranger powers when Rito destroyed Ninjor's power coin. The only remaining power source left for Tommy is the Red Zeo Ranger powers. But, according to "Always a Chance," the original White Tiger power coin could've been restored to enable Tommy to transform the way Adam did. Given that Tommy and Haley were knowledgeable enough to create and maintain the Dino Thunder powers and zords, respectively, they might even have been able to restore the White Tiger or Falconzord Ninja coins to good enough condition so that they could be used indefinitely again. So coming back as the White Ranger would actually make about the same amount of sense as coming back as the Black Brachio Ranger from a continuity standpoint, too.

[Justice Bringer]

Not necessarily.

The Black powers represent where Tommy has evolved to at this point. It just fits alot better than randomly pulling his MMPR powers out of storage.

I doubt Haley could repair the MMPR powers? Why? Because the DT morphers she built just channel the power from the ancient meteor Gems as a power source.
The MMPR morphers use the Power Coins as a power source and they were destroyed. They were forged by the sage Ninjor ages ago and the White coin was forged from Zordon's light of goodness; those arent things Haley can really build. It was Sentinel Knight's magic that temporarily restored Adam's powers in OO.

Considering Sky and SPD is involved in this; they've shown they have the energy to temporarily recharge the powerless Dino Gems (the Gems werent destroyed like the Power Coins; just rendered powerless).

So its ALOT easier and less convoluted for Dr O to return as DT Black. Not to mention Jason and Tommy back in black and gold is too cool to pass up.

[TheCorpulent1]

The Black Brachio powers don't represent anything. Tommy had evolved up to the status of "legendary Ranger" by "Forever Red," yet he was there with his Zeo Ranger powers and it didn't detract anything from him at all. Tommy himself represents where he's gotten to, and the White Ranger powers represent him at his best, as far as I'm concerned--the paragon of righteousness appointed personally by Zordon himself to supersede even the Red Ranger and lead the Power Rangers.

Also, Tommy and Anton Mercer built the DT zords from the ground up and Haley created powered weapons and vehicles that tied into the Dino Rangers' powers from scratch, like the Blue Dino Ranger's hovercycle. But even if that's not convincing enough, if you're going to have other Super Legend Rangers and their organizations help out in repairing the Black Brachio powers, they could just as easily get a Lightspeed or SPD or Time Force guy to help out by having their respective organizations simply repair one of the White power coins. Those teams all had someone they were associated with actually create their powers from scratch, so I'm sure they could repair a coin and reconnect it to the Morphing Grid.

If it's a visual thing, the White Ranger has a good amount of black and loads of gold, too. He'd look just as good standing next to Gold Zeo Ranger Jason in the White Ranger suit.

Bottom line, in team-ups where anything goes, like most of PR's team-ups seem to be, any powers can be accessed, regardless of what happened to them, with minimal hassle.

[Justice Bringer]

You missed the point.

The power coins werent man-made. They were created through mystical power; Ninjor's magic and Zordon's white light of goodness.

Thats why no Govt org or private group could rebuilt the coins using technology.


It also wouldnt make sense logically for Tommy to go back to his White MMPR powers randomly when he still has his Zeo V morpher and powers (which are supposedly way stronger than the MMPR powers according to Zordon).

[Nathan]

You know, I don't think it would make much of a difference whether he'd choose to wield the powers of the White Ranger coin or red Zeo Crystal.

Just look at Adam. In the team-up special he had the powers of the first generation of Rangers, probably the weakest of all, and he still kicked a reasonable amount of ass.

Making sense hasn't stopped the crossovers from putting Adam back in the Black MMPR suit twice.

There's always a vague technological and magical component to the Power Rangers' powers. The power coins and the zords were said to be magical, but the zords certainly look technological to me. Regardless, there are other Rangers on that Super Legends team who know people with enough magic to substitute for Ninjor or Zordon. Plus, as stated, "Always a Chance" and now "Once a Ranger" clearly show that the coins aren't completely dead and gone beyond all repair. Bringing back the White Ranger is as easy as bringing back the Black Brachio Ranger.

[Justice Bringer]

Your reaching for straws. And like I said; I didnt agree with bringing back Adam as Black MMPR; I dont agree with most of the stupid crap Kalish pulls.

Adam as Black MMPR made sense within the context of 'Always a Chance' though and the fact that the power coins were destroyed was explained in the episode; so it worked out. It was the only morpher he had given the Turbo powers were destroyed and the Zeo powers were given up in T:APRM.

Tommy had got the Zeo Crystal back in the years that followed when he was working with Andros and Alpha. Adam only had his busted MMPR morpher during Always a Chance.

There is a technological component to the MMPR morphers; IE the actual morphers themselves (not including the coin). Adam tried to morph with the his morpher with the coin destroyed and the morph didnt hold and almost destroyed him.

[Primal Slayer]

Just look at Adam. In the team-up special he had the powers of the first generation of Rangers, probably the weakest of all, and he still kicked a reasonable amount of ass.

It never really mattered what generation the powers were. It all was up to the threat of the villan. MMPR could probably take on the majority of monsters we got past the Zordon Era.

They only got the Zeo powers because the Dino powers were taken away from them and commander center blown up thus having to find a new source. The Zeo powers were only put away because the zords wouldnt make it through the nexus triangle and they would be deteced by Divatox. And ofcourse the Turbo powers were taken away because Eltar had fallen and they traveled into Space.

It all depends on the skill of the ranger/team.

As far as zords, it was obvious that they were technical since they had to be repaird various times.

And the Ninjettie powers arent gone, just locked away with Ninjor who is still in his bottle or whatever holds him.

[Obi-John-Kenobi]

Tommy was, without a doubt, the best Ranger. He was loyal, dependable, and courageous. I do believe he started out as sort of a villain, if memory serves me right (it's been so long since I've seen the original series).

[Kevin D. Comicboy]

Tommy being a villian will always be the reason I dislike him. Not greatly, but he will never be my top ranger.

When you are under a spell you can only do so much to fight it.

[Kevin D. Comicboy]

I know, but from his first episode I couldn't help but hate him. It just never went away. He was a bad guy, a jerk at that point.

[Cmill216]

I was never really a big Tommy fan back in the MMPR days. But I still loved seeing him in Dino Thunder.

Of course! I love classic rangers. He was the beginning reason for me wanting to see the show. Then it was the blue Ranger being black, and the classic MMPR feel of the show. I love that show. As well as Ninja storm.

So I'm assuming you also don't like Kat, Karone, Ryan, Merrick, Blake, Hunter, Trent, and Leanbow?

[Kevin D. Comicboy]

Karone, when she was that badass in space, was kool. I think of her when I write my female badguys. She was in LG, and for some reason I blocked out everything that ever happened in that show.:confused:

Kat is also a girl. I forgive female badguys who turn good easier then males.

Other than that. no, don't like any of them.

[TheCorpulent1]

Why do girls just randomly get a pass if they happened to be evil?

[crazydawg22]

love the evil green ranger

[Trainwreck2100]

The dragonzord was easily the best zord EVER

[Nathan]

I know Power Rangers is just a show aimed at kids, but watching Dino Thunder, I was wondering if anyone else is bothered that all those highschool kids are martial arts experts for no apparent reason?

I'd like to watch a season again where they are struggling at first when they meet their foes for the first time. And then throughout the Episodes gain battle experience and are more comfortable fighting. I can't remember exactly, but I think the first season of MMPR started out that way, didn't it? With Billy for example who was just a tech geek and didn't know scrab about fighting.

I'd like to watch a season again where they are struggling at first when they meet their foes for the first time.

Mystic Force started out like that when they were first in the forest and they were getting pretty well beaten by the Styxoids before they believed in magic.

[Nathan]

Just finished watching 'White Thunder - Part 3'. So far the Episodes aren't too bad, and that White Ranger really kicks ass. Has anyone watched the Sentai version? I think I only watch 1-2 Episodes and didn't really like it all that much at first.

[Justice Bringer]

The Sentai version owns Trent's ass.

White Ranger in DT was only badass in morphed form (under the spell).

Mikoto in Abaranger was badass as a real person and morphed.

[Justice Bringer]

[Nathan]

How was the overall quality of the Sentai show? How are the villains? Does it have a good story? I might give it another chance when I'm finished with Dino Thunder.

[Justice Bringer]

The sentai version isnt that good actually. There are a few decent eps but its generally lame.

Abarekiller is the only awesome character and pwns the hell out of what a pussy Trent was.

Abaranger was generally a comedy; which explains why the sentai footage for DT is such crap.

Dekaranger, Hurricanger and Boukenger are much better.

[Nathan]

Ah, looks like I was wise to skip it then.
