I thought the spoiler rules stopped being in effect once the episode had been released? I didn't 'reveal' anything that wasn't obvious in ep37...

Also: HW-DiEnd: I'm hardly an angry fangirl. Fangirl, yes. Angry, no. What do I have to be angry about? I'm confident in my knowledge that the guy that's been pulling the Go-Busters' tails since the first episode is the one in charge.

(Also: Escape's eyes glowed, Enter laughed at her, wished her luck and walked away. Enter's eyes glowed and Escape was immediately cowed and visibly frightened. But keep telling yourself Escape is the 'head honcho'.)

I used to "hate" Power Rangers except for the corny MMPR but after watching Linkara's reviews I've actually come to like the series'.

Power On!

Some seasons may look corny to some people. It just depends on your particular taste.

But I'm a PR nerd so I love all of them......except once Operation Overdrive. I keep sounding like a broken record for saying that, but it's true.

I do the exact same treatment with PR and any movie sequels I never like.

(Off topic, but all the Karate Kid movies after 2 NEVER happened, 2 was the end of that story for me. I reject your reality and substitute my own! But I digress, this is Power Rangers we are talking about here)

It's because Operation Overdrive didn't know what the hell they were doing with the footage. I mean episodes rarely matched up.

Anyways.

Start with original Power Rangers. When I was around 8 I did this after school thing since my mom didn't want to hire a babysitter for two hours a day. It was pretty much me and like forty other kids playing games and having snacks and drinks.

There was this big dude that was one of the watchers. Always weirded everyone out since he always wore a three piece suit.

One day he had playing the entire two hours. Doctor Who. Everyone was amazed by it. (4th Doctor) ((This was 96 or 97)) I remember everyone was talking about Zeo and we had on our power Ranger shirts and he told us about Sentai.

The next time we saw him he had an hour of Zyuranger and an hour of Dairanger. Best two hours ever of all time. I don't remember much. I remember seeing the main five Zyurangers and 'their Zordon' in a middle of the field.

There was one episode where a blue ranger (Don't remember Dai or Zyu) was trapped in a belly and spent almost the entire episode trying to punch his way out.

And there was a baseball episode where they went against a baseball monster in well baseball.

I admit Power Rangers and Sentai has their faults. Power Rangers needs to be more story focused sometimes I guess. I mean that is why In Space and Time Force did well. SPD also did well.

Samurai eh.... their fault was not making their show Japanese enough... I mean if they are supposed to be in lineage of ancient warriors there should have been at least two Japanese actors and at least make Red Japanese. The others I probably wouldn't care much about. It's the fact that the LORD of seventeen generations isn't the same race as the original lord.

Also copying off of Shinkenger plots... at least use the character types....

Oh absolutely, better story for each season would be awesome. Some of the best stories from PR I've ever seen was In Space, Time Force, Dino Thunder, SPD and finally RPM.

Just Operation Overdrive? I can't stand Turbo, Mystic Force, Overdrive, and Jungle Fury. LOL. But honestly, I love Power Rangers and even though it will almost never be better than it's Japanese counterpart (with the exception of In Space), I still consider PR and SS to be their own big series, rather than two opposing shows that are at each others necks.

Jesus dude, you don't have to make three separate posts to declare your hatred of PR. You've said your piece, now stop spamming.

Yeah, now you're just spamming. Saying it once is enough, seriously. Stop hijacking threads to complain about something over and over again. If seeing this section of the forums really bother you, join the NoPowerRangers usergroup to block this forum.

If you have nothing better to say than to bash the same thing repeatedly in multiple threads, regardless of what the topic might be, then that's spamming.
