In order to celebrate 17 years of Power Rangers, Star Points RangerCrew will be hosting monthly, seasonal discussions. A new month means a new season. Throughout the month, we'll post questions to the fans to get their input on various topics regarding the particular season. Feel free to share your favorite episodes and moments, as well as your personal critics about the season.

We ask that the monthly, seasonal discussions stay on topic.

Each month, a mod will create a thread like this and sticky it.

Well we come to PRIS the last of Zordon Era !!!

I loved a lot the plot and we see the all villans of the Zordon era together in PRIS, i liked a lot of the concept of this series of PR because in PRIS the rangers for first time they go to face the dangers of the Space

[MMPRfan90]

What a great season this was. Great group of rangers, villains, a couple of story arcs, and just the right amount of darkness for a kids show. I still remember being on the edge of my seat while watching the Turbo finale and then we get the first episode of PRiS and we have a new Red Ranger?! And didn't you love how the former Turbo Ranger's space shuttle just perfectly fit into the Astro Megaship? LOL!

The Psycho Rangers story arc was amazing, loved the Astromena/Andros story and we got one of the best finales in PR history.

I can't wait to get to this season, I'm currently at the beginning of Zeo so it'll take me a while.

yh, i agreed with all you tell, the villans are really awesome, the story arcs tbm, we see the first traitor villan Darkonda who made a awesome arc, and the psycos really cool the first time of villans who are really made a huge problem to the rangers, the new red ranger, the evil alliance all villans in the semarian planet together and the rule of all the Dark Specter, Megazords are awesome

[bobtherandomguy]

eh, in all honesty I could give or take a majority of Space, it was really the start of focusing too heavily on one character(Andros), the other four were sometimes little more then just background especially Carlos, the Psycho ranger arc lasted way too long for my taste, and of course Countdown to Destruction was less a finale for Space as a series finale for a show that lasted another ten years, my favorite characters Bulk and Skull were only in about half the episodes disappearing for long periods of time. Honestly most of our fandom's love of the series is tied to countdown which was a grand total of 2 episodes from a 43 episode series

I think in space was thought to be a final, but the ratings/popularity managed to spawn lost galaxy. but this season had a pretty good cast of characters that complimented each other well. And there was always the hunt to find zordon in the beginning leading into the discovery of andro's sister.

[bobtherandomguy]

I know the story, but seriously my least favorite aspect of any power rangers season or television series is when they arbitrarily focus 90% of the attention on one character when the cast is composed of so much more

[Crimson Soul]

I know the story, but seriously my least favorite aspect of any power rangers season or television series is when they arbitrarily focus 90% of the attention on one character when the cast is composed of so much more

It would have been a different story if they focused 90% on Elgar!

[ForeverBlue]

Yay for In Space!!!!

PRiS is the number 1 best season ever! I enjoyed every moment of it :D Mmm...Ashley, oops, there I go again lol

[Quark]

Can you guys believe I stopped watching the show forever (until DT) right before Space? Good timing, huh?

[Thrax]

The plot of PRIS as use for others series since PRIS !!!

[Lonewolf92]

The plot of PRIS as use for others series since PRIS !!!

What the hell are you trying to say?

[bobtherandomguy]

I think he said they copied the plot for Space in later series

[Thrax]

I think he said they copied the plot for Space in later series

something like that

[Digifiend]

Astronema = Tenaya is the most obvious reuse. Both villains were the sister of one of the rangers.

[Thrax]

Astronema = Tenaya is the most obvious reuse. Both villains were the sister of one of the rangers.

I not will referring that buT Saban make a miss understand the scrit of the Megaranger of the Sentai and make a awesome series like PRIS, BECAUSE PRIS inovate with new things, SOMETHING WE DONT EVEN BE SEEN IN THE LAST Zordon eras, they intruduce the traitor as Darkonda, the ideia of rangers have to go in the quest to save the universe to save Zordon, the ideia of Red ranger and Main villan are brother and sister and much new things

[bobtherandomguy]

they reused the family member/villain more then just that, Mesogog was Trent's dad, Koragg was Nick's and Lothor was Cam's uncle all of which were supposedly startling revelations, personally by the time it got to Koragg I was basically saying, "Their doing this again" which may be why I hate Teneya so much

[Lonewolf92]

Wow how predictable. I didn't even watch RPM past Ranger Green and I figured out Teneya was Dillon's sister.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Honestly most of our fandom's love of the series is tied to countdown which was a grand total of 2 episodes from a 43 episode series

Yes, that's why 80% of the fandom had fallen in love with the season by the second episode. Gushing, raving. alt.fan.power-rangers, #alt-mmpr, the mailing lists, etc. That absolutely makes sense.

(hint: people respond to Space because it's the first ambitious season of Power Rangers capable of actually delivering on what it promises rather than eternally holding back on delivering anything)

[Thrax]

I liked a lot Andros in the start with the others rangers Andros dont trust them, because Andros always work alone

[TZMhero]

I found it funny that even though Andros was Red...several times, it was TJ who acted like the leader.

[Quark]

Andros was Chakotay on his best days. Neelix on most.

[bobtherandomguy]

I think its safe to say TJ was the real leader of the team, Andros may have wore red but he was closer to a "Sixth Ranger" archtype, Andros clearly respected TJ's opinion on any matters related to the actual team because he was just a stoic guy who drove around in a spaceship for 3 years with his comatose best friend, not exactly a guy who really understands other people

[Thrax]

I found it funny that even though Andros was Red...several times, it was TJ who acted like the leader.

well in sometimes TJ made some good decisions to the others follow him, but Andros always probe to be a good leader for the team

[ForeverRanger]

To the person who complained about Andros' overly background, Andros was the only ranger that didn't have any background revealed as he was the newest ranger.

[O.92]

Eh. In Space was good, but I feel like it's overrated in the fandom.

How did you feel about Andros?

[Thrax]

Eh. In Space was good, but I feel like it's overrated in the fandom.

How did you feel about Andros?

Andros as awesome red ranger and i good substitute of the TJ who becames the blue ranger, Andros have problems in the start with the others rangers of earth because Andros dont truth them because Andros always work alone in 3 years and them they appear in is Astromega Ship, iliked when Andros decite to work with the others rangers and give to them the Astro morphers and with the help of the others they for the Astro Megazord

[Archangel]

In Space has a special place in my heart as my favorite season...as a kid, it was something else to watch. The story was darker, a few more characters seemed more fleshed out for a children's show...I felt like it was the first time that PR really took the audience seriously.

Now my opinion on Andros?

He's a great red ranger. Sure, Andros had his introverted moments but after losing his sister as a kid and nearly his best friend in battle, you can't exactly blame him. Now his spot as leader...that's where I'm a little mixed. I felt like since he knew the most about outer space travel and the Megaship itself, Andros was a good leader in those regards. However, it seemed TJ was a better strategist on the battlefield, mostly due to his more calm and neutral demeanor to everything. I like to think of them more as co-leaders.

[bobtherandomguy]

I ignored TJ when I was a kid, it wasn't until I started re-watching Turbo and Space that I began to appreciate him he managed to become one of my favorite reds in series history, thus I prefer to think of him as a case of the leader who didn't wear red, like Tommy, Delphine or Jen

[Hellion01]

I felt that Andros was a pretty good red ranger. He just had alot that side tracked him from being a good leader. Overall what i do like about this character is that, his story was the cause of one of the great seasons of PR. The real leader as stated many times before is TJ and i think that Andros wasnt going to get in the way after that. Sure Andros gave them the powers but its not like TJ was gonna get demoted as leader because of that. Other than that, he's pretty cool to me.

[Mr. Yellow]

Hands down my favorite Power Ranger season. As some of you may know, I used to go by KO-35, so this was just fantastic for me.

[Super Jeff]

Andros was a good ranger and a leader at times. He was cool and saved the universe, however I admit TJ was probably a better leader then him though.

[ForeverBlue]

Eh. In Space was good, but I feel like it's overrated in the fandom.

How did you feel about Andros?

Andros was a really good leader as the Red Ranger and was a great fighter.

[AoBlue]

Andros is a good Ranger and his entrance still puts a smile on my face and it's been 11 years. I will say that there were times when he stepped aside and let T.J. do his thing, who I still feel should've been the Black Ranger but I digress because I understand their reasoning for not doing so. Anyway, LoL. the best quality of a leader is knowing when to be a follower and Andros grew into that because he went from being alone to having a team, which wasn't something he just accepted right away as shown in the earlier episodes. It took time for him the embrace the team IMO but once he did he really shined. His emotional journey with Astronema/Karone/Darkonda is something I'll always remember as being the forefront of the series aside from the obvious. You could sort of feel his pain and determination to find his sister and you could sort of see his confusion but acceptance when he found the truth. Not to mention he destoryed Zordon. LoL. Who would've thought Zordon would meet his end by a Power Ranger? Not me... still makes me laugh sometimes (that's probably bad but I do find it a little funny that it was a Power Ranger, the Red Ranger nonetheless, who destoryed him) but his reason were good.

[reneald]

Did anyone else notice that near the end of the season, in some (only 2 or 3) morphed scenes, Andros is voiced by Carlos' actor? I don't have the episodes with me so I can't give any titles, but in my opinion it was very obvious. And weird :-)

[Digifiend]

Eh? If that's true, Christopher Khayman Lee must've had to leave before ADR was finished.

[AoBlue]

Reneald, is that a hunch or a fact?

[President Ranger]

Andros was a great ranger. Some say TJ out did him but if you take away giving him props for things that didn't work out he really didn't do much.

[MMPRfan90]

Did anyone else notice that near the end of the season, in some (only 2 or 3) morphed scenes, Andros is voiced by Carlos' actor? I don't have the episodes with me so I can't give any titles, but in my opinion it was very obvious. And weird :-)What?! I never knew that. The guy who played Andros left the show? Looking forward to getting some behind the scenes info on this season.

Anyone notice that Ashley was the "pinkest" yellow ranger ever? Usually the pink rangers gets all the focus but Ashley got the relationship with the leader and more focus than Cassie from what I can remember.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Cite some instances, if you would. NO ONE has noted this in twelve years, and indeed, I've no recollection of it.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

What?! I never knew that. The guy who played Andros left the show?

No. He didn't.

[Gumdrops]

Space was my absolute favorite season. The storyline, the rangers, Astronema... (almost) everything just worked for me. C2D was beyond awesome. The Ninja Turtles thing was the only thing I didn't care for.

Sometimes, I wish PR had ended with C2D. Or atleast the subsequent seasons could take place in an AU or something. I just liked the way the first 6 seasons connected. I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion or not, but I don't like standalone seasons (yeah there were teamups, but I still see those seasons as standalone). I hated not getting to really know the teams like we had before. With LS, the show just started to feel very formulaic imo.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

The show has always been formulaic. It just became more overtly so.

[Gumdrops]

The show has always been formulaic. It just became more overtly so.

That's what I wanted to say.

It just felt like:

1. New baddie comes along
2. Find some rangers
3. More rangers come along
4. Rangers powers weaken, find a stronger power source
5. Rangers defeat the baddie and (sometimes anyway) lose their powers.

It just got really egregious at some point imo.

I'm not saying I hate all of the post-Zordon seasons or anything (okay, maybe DT), but I just prefer an expanding arc and some major connections between the seasons.

[Dai Hinoarashi]

Eh. In Space was good, but I feel like it's overrated in the fandom.

How did you feel about Andros?

Andros was a great character. One of the best introductions the show has ever done.


Andros was a great ranger. Some say TJ out did him but if you take away giving him props for things that didn't work out he really didn't do much.

Like what?

I think it's usually a case of people analyzing team dynamics more than saying one "out did" the other as a ranger.

[Hears All]

Andros is easily one of my favourite Rangers ever. I found it very interesting that people who were part of the cast said his actor was very quiet and never really "blended" with the other cast members

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Wait, you hate the show for losing interconnectivity and overt continuity... But you especially hate Dino Thunder, the season expressly created for long-time fans and loaded with old continuity, as well as directly continuing the narrative of the preceding season.

[Gumdrops]

My hate of DT has more to do with my dislike of Connor than anything.

It's also the one season where I would've been more than happy to see the bad guys win.

My dislike of DT is irrational and superficial I guess.

Where the hell did I say I hate the show? I just really don't like DT beyond Trent and sometimes, Kira.

I hated not getting to really know the teams like we had before. With LS, the show just started to feel very formulaic imo.

PRIS as really a awesome series in PR history, the final plot of the evil forces united to take over the universe is awesome, we see all evils join forces to rule the universe to complete the plan of the DARK SPECTER, and destroy all forces of good, i liked a lot of that scene in the Dark Fortress and Astronema tell is army to destroy all good forces in special the POWER RANGERS.

I liked to the connection between all 6 sesons are are well made because all villans are survants of Dark Specter, and i loved to see Divatox as be replacement to Astronema and Divatox hated Astronema because Astronema as the most loyal survant to Dark Specter, i liked when Dark Specter make Astronema became Evil again make her so evil as so good, she plans destroy to destroy Dark Specter, with the Psyco rangers are something awesome the villans who almost destroy the rangers, and for some reason the power of them became of Dark Specter that as really cool

[nekollx]

I know the story, but seriously my least favorite aspect of any power rangers season or television series is when they arbitrarily focus 90% of the attention on one character when the cast is composed of so much more

To be fair, the rest of the cast DID have 1-5 seasons for focus before IS ...Sndros just has In Space....

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Wait... Hating a character somehow equates to hating an entire season...?

(I suspect this is like shipping, and I am actually incapable of understanding how people are capable of thinking this way)

[Dai Hinoarashi]

To be fair, the rest of the cast DID have 1-5 seasons for focus before IS ...Sndros just has In Space....

The rest of the main cast (excluding Astronema and Zhane) only had the second half of Turbo.

[Digifiend]

Apart from Bulk and Skull, that's who nekollx meant when they said 5 seasons.

[nekollx]

The rest of the main cast (excluding Astronema and Zhane) only had the second half of Turbo.

that a half season lean on Andros....

[Titanium Power]

Where the hell did I say I hate the show? I just really don't like DT beyond Trent and sometimes, Kira.

Yea i only watched DT with tommy in it in person. I stopped watching when he was encased in amber, which kinda shows how one character does overshadow the other ones. It has been the case since MMPR when Tommy first came on board, until then it was pretty much all ensemble. I guess if a season chooses to focus on a single unlikeable character,which is usually the red ranger, that can bring down the overall season . Maybe that is why Eddie chose to focus on Dillon instead, something fresh. But anyways, in space had strong complex villans like Darkonda, Ecliptor, and Astronema along with very well paced episodes.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

What the hell are you people yammering about? ETHAN had more focus episodes than Conner. So did Kira.

[ForeverBlue]

Guys...stay on topic please.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Topic drift is permitted, dude. It always has been. And more to the point, no Ranger until Nick coopts his season as aggressively as Andros. Even Wes or Cole!

[RedJou]

Andros was better than Nick, right?

Right?

Now that I know about Megaranger, it seems very brilliant to make the Red Ranger the technical leader while relying on another guy to provide advice and "real" leadership.

[Mr. White]

In Space was an awsome season... Great way to finish off the Zordon Era. Andros was a pretty cool ranger and good leader

[Thrax]

Andros prove to be a good leader for the rangers, and help them in there mission to find Zordon. and i liked when Ashley try to learn about the Andros powers and the final battle between Andros and is sister are awesome battle between Brother and sister, Andros almost kill is sister

[reneald]

Cite some instances, if you would. NO ONE has noted this in twelve years, and indeed, I've no recollection of it.
I'm sorry I can't be more specific right now, but maybe tonight I will rewatch some eps to see if I can find any of those scenes. But I do know it really confused me the few times I noticed it.

[Lonewolf92]

^ I think someone would have noticed a long time ago if it actually happened the actor has one of the thickest accents in Power Rangers.

[SirStack]

Not to mention the fact Khayman was not someone to quit the show. He was active on the PR IRC chats during PRiS, so if he dropped off the show for any reason, the fandom would've known. He was friends with people on the production team so much that he reportedly played one of the background Aquabase techs in PRLR just for fun!

[mnikolic]

PRiS was the best season of PR ever! Well, besides the first season.

Andros was an excellent leader, and the Rangers got even better during the season.

The bad guys were trully one of a kind, especially Darkonda and Ecliptor.

I loved how they concluded the season...

(I know I'm running a little late in this thread, it got away from me)...

[Thrax]

Ecliptor as really awesome he raise Astronema since a child and make her of she as, but he likes of her like to be a doctor to him

[reneald]

I searched for some examples, but could only find this, and it's not a very good one: in Rangers Gone Psycho, at 16:30 and again (very briefly) around 16:54. These are just random screams though, so it's not easy to hear it very well, but I'm quite shure that's not Andros' usual voice (but maybe it's not Carlos' either).
Unfortunately I do not have the time to rewatch every episode from start to finish so for now that's the only example I can give.

[bobtherandomguy]

maybe he went home sick for the day, and since they didn't bother later they just had Nimmo or something dub his voice

[Digifiend]

Not to mention the fact Khayman was not someone to quit the show. He was active on the PR IRC chats during PRiS, so if he dropped off the show for any reason, the fandom would've known. He was friends with people on the production team so much that he reportedly played one of the background Aquabase techs in PRLR just for fun!Is that so? Any obvious scenes? He should be easy to recognise with that long hair.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

No, Khayman simply said to "look for him in the backgrounds."

[SirStack]

Is that so? Any obvious scenes? He should be easy to recognise with that long hair.

I'm pretty sure he cut his hair after he did that WB show after PRiS. It was certainly a wig in FR.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Khayman's budgetary allotment for FR included not just the standard guest star salary but also a wig and ring ding stipulation.

[Digifiend]

I'm pretty sure he cut his hair after he did that WB show after PRiS. It was certainly a wig in FR.Same for Lost Galaxy as well then? Anyway, why'd he need one? The other long haired red ranger, Tommy, had short hair. They didn't try to cover that up.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Andros was iconic for his skunk stripes.

[O.92]

How did you feel about 'From Out Of Nowhere' and the transition from Turbo to In Space?

[Thrax]

How did you feel about 'From Out Of Nowhere' and the transition from Turbo to In Space?

Well From Out of Nowhere as a awesome transition to PRT to PRIS

[mnikolic]

How did you feel about 'From Out Of Nowhere' and the transition from Turbo to In Space?

One word: PERFECT. :D

[Alpha 5]

upon seeing the command center blow up in my head i went "omg again?" lol other thoughts are to scrambeled right now to pull together...but im sure they'll fall in line with the next set of posters

I did however enjoy seeing diffrent scenes of the power chamber's exterior I love that building lol

[Thrax]

The Start of PRIS as very cool, we see all viilans in the Symerian planet because Dark Specter call them to come to join the Evil alliance we see there al evil villans in PR story Era, i liked a lot Divatox dont like of Astronema, and see as new queen of Evil as awesome, i liked the way of the rangers are taken to Astro Megaship, the new introduction of the New Space rangers and the new Megazord of them are really cool, a new concept of Megazord the jet and the Megaship combine to form the new Megazord as really awesome and much diferent of the others Megazords as appear in PR series

[ForeverBlue]

How did you feel about 'From Out Of Nowhere' and the transition from Turbo to In Space?

I felt that it was a great start to use new powers! I loved the suits :D

[Jacen Solo]

It was awesome! Between the shock of the Power Chamber being destroyed and Zordon being captured, I couldn't wait to see what happened next. The appearance of a new Red Ranger was interesting (mind you, I knew nothing of Sentai), as was learning that there was an evil overlord over all the villains thus far in PR. Having the NASADA shuttle and the Astro Megaship combine into the Megazord created a very nice link between the two series.

I always wondered what Zordon's "master plan" was, though. In his Take Flight series, Joe Rovang postulates that Zordon's master plan involved seeding Ranger technology throughout the universe. I'll buy this.

[mmpr grove]

How did you feel about 'From Out Of Nowhere' and the transition from Turbo to In Space?

My youngerself wanted to know what the ranger's were doing in space for three months. As a kid I thought they switched to a new shuttle. The blast off sene isn't the same space ship they left earth in is it?

But now I realize I was'nt paying attention to turbo's end back then. It was the same ship they left in. I hate turbo's second half.

[Lonewolf92]

I liked the transition. The Rangers powerless and defeated. The gathering of all the villains the captured Zordon.

[AoBlue]

I thought "From Out Of Nowhere" was great. I liked seeing all the old villains again in one setting... good to know someone rebuilt the Machine Empire. LoL. I thought Andros being at the council was good and I never noticed until I watched the HD version of the episode that while sitting at the table, Astronema is playing with her locket. Speaking of whom, when she caught the beam from Rita's wand and looked at Divatox and Rita with her eyes, it was fire! I always felt she looked best with the purple wig but that's just my opinion. Andros' resentment towards the other Rangers was a nice touch but you knew in the end that they'd become a team, even without the credits spoiling it. LoL. Overall, a good start to the series that ended on the best note.

From some reason I was always partial to Astronema with black hair.

[detroitpiston]

HD version of the episode

???????????

[AoBlue]

^^ DVD version of the episode... I've got this bad habit of say HD when I mean DVD when it comes to the PR episodes. LoL. Sorry for the confusion


From some reason I was always partial to Astronema with black hair.

That would be the wig she had at the end of "Save Our Ship" right?

[Lonewolf92]

That would be the wig she had at the end of "Save Our Ship" right?

Right damn sexy

[Quark]

I don't like how Astronema's wigs look like... wigs.

[Lonewolf92]

what did you expect?

[Digifiend]

He's right though, the only one which looks like it could be her real hair is the short red one she has after being brainwashed. Funny how it morphs back to her real blonde hair after she's revived in C2D.

My youngerself wanted to know what the ranger's were doing in space for three months. As a kid I thought they switched to a new shuttle. The blast off sene isn't the same space ship they left earth in is it?

But now I realize I was'nt paying attention to turbo's end back then. It was the same ship they left in. I hate turbo's second half.Megaranger footage, being used in the season before it's adaptation - the only time that happened.

[Gumdrops]

I thought From Out Of Nowhere was fantastic. Just seeing all of the villains together was rather cool. Andros sneaking around in that cloak gave us a very interesting beginning to the series imo. I was drawn in and wondering what was going to happen.

I liked everyone meeting. Andros not trusting them, but begrudgingly realizing that he could use their help was well done.

When the rangers' ship got pulled in by the Astro Megaship I thought some villian had gotten them.

[XavierSaintCloud]

I thought From Out Of Nowhere was fantastic. Just seeing all of the villains together was rather cool.
Yeah and I was especially glad to see the Machine Empire again.

Just like how there was an episode with Divatox and the Phantom Ranger, I thought it would have been cool to have gotten some episodes that involved Rita and Zedd with the Alien Rangers, and the Machine Empire with the Gold Ranger.

[Jacen Solo]

You know, I never even thought about that. That would have been really cool and would have given the series even more continuity with its finale. I think I'm going to fanwank that was going on the whole time!

[MMPRfan90]

Yeah and I was especially glad to see the Machine Empire again.

Just like how there was an episode with Divatox and the Phantom Ranger, I thought it would have been cool to have gotten some episodes that involved Rita and Zedd with the Alien Rangers, and the Machine Empire with the Gold Ranger.I think we only got the Phantom ranger because he was connected to Cassie in Turbo. While it would've been cool to revisit the Alien Rangers and the Gold Ranger seeing as the Rangers were in space, it wouldn't have made much sense.

[bobtherandomguy]

they wouldn't want to get the actors back just for a quick cameo's the point of Phantom is he has no other identity, with other people we expect them to demorph, besides we got Adam and Justin how many former rangers did we need that season

[O.92]

What did you think of the Astro Megaship and the Dark Fortress?

[Digifiend]

they wouldn't want to get the actors back just for a quick cameo's the point of Phantom is he has no other identity, with other people we expect them to demorph, besides we got Adam and Justin how many former rangers did we need that seasonIronic that Justin didn't appear in the finale. Surely he would've morphed when the city got besieged by Quantrons? Yet we did see the Gold Ranger, Blue Senturion, Phantom Ranger and Alien Rangers, though neither Trey nor the Aliens demorphed.

[SirStack]

Ironic that Justin didn't appear in the finale. Surely he would've morphed when the city got besieged by Quantrons?

He moved away from Angel Grove. We don't know how far. He could've moved to the East Coast, even.

[Mr. White]

The Astro Megazord was cool served as the rangers base and a megazord. The Dark Fortress it was sorta wierd lookin to me it was like one half is like a normal ship and the other half is like a hologram or somethin. But I haven't seen Space in a while so can't really remember it

[SirGreen]

pris was definately a great ending of an era.

[MMPRfan90]

The Astro Megaship was amazing. I loved the look and I was obsessed with my toy version. I always imagined little ranger actually living in there LOL! It was very interesting that the place where they lived was also their Megazord. Speaking of living there, did they actually live there or did they stay there every now and then because they were still teens in high school with PARENTS LOL!

[MMPRfan90]

Accidently double posted so I'll give my thoughts on the Dark Fortress
....don't have too much to say about it actually besides the hologram side was trippy LOL!

[SirGreen]

wow MMptfan90 thats a good point it did seem like they lived their and they do have parents. well i guess their secret it is out at the end of PRIS good ending i think.

[Digifiend]

The Astro Megaship was amazing. I loved the look and I was obsessed with my toy version. I always imagined little ranger actually living in there LOL! It was very interesting that the place where they lived was also their Megazord. Speaking of living there, did they actually live there or did they stay there every now and then because they were still teens in high school with PARENTS LOL!Andros and Zhane did, and the others probably did when they weren't able to return to Earth. Maybe Justin covered for them.

[bobtherandomguy]

Justin moved away from Angel Grove remember, I'd assume they didn't move into the megaship until graduation

[Digifiend]

Not before he'd have had chance to give the parents a cover story. And how long were they on the shuttle for? They were away from home for long periods right from Chase into Space. Ms Appleby and Mr Chapman were probably wondering why they were never in class. The writers goofed having them come home for a test in one episode, they should've just said they graduated just before Chase into Space.

[ForeverBlue]

What did you think of the Astro Megaship and the Dark Fortress?

They are great!

[Captain Platypus]

I'm not so sure. This is a world where large swaths of the population could be buried, killed, or simply too afraid to leave their houses after monster attacks. I'm sure the Angel Grove board of education might be understanding and make allotments for long periods of absence as long as you show that you have kept up with the work

[Gumdrops]

Not much to say about the Astro Megaship or the Dark Fortress really, except that I liked the hologramy effect of the Dark Fortress. They just seemed like pretty standard space ships to me.

[Super Jeff]

Maybe they realized that the world is more important then studies. The found out that balancing school and being a hero was tough work so they just stayed as being heroes.

[Quark]

Well they did graduate.

[Captain Platypus]

Which would be a good story, but they came back to school for a test. It removes that as a possibility. If they were just giving up on schooling to be rangers, they wouldn't need to return, unless they had been coming back to earth every day to go to school and we never saw it

The Turbo rangers graduated. I don't remember seeing the Space rangers graduate

[bobtherandomguy]

they graduated offscreen, it was mentioned in the episode with Silvy I think

[Lonewolf92]

Maybe they realized that the world is more important then studies. The found out that balancing school and being a hero was tough work so they just stayed as being heroes.


"Hey kids want to be a hero and save the world?" "Then drop out of High School! The Power Rangers said so!"

This has been a message from the Power Rangers approved by Zordan in association with Saban and Fox Kids

[Mugenhunt]

They went to Eltar and picked up the Robot Rangers and had the Robots take their classes for them.

[Digifiend]

Isn't it assumed that they were destroyed? Otherwise we might have seen the Turbos in Countdown to Destruction.

[Mugenhunt]

We never saw them get destroyed. Perhaps they were damaged and lost their powers, but could still pretend to be the Turbo Teens and take their place on Earth while they went about saving the galaxy.

Man, this is such a messed up idea.

[XavierSaintCloud]

they graduated offscreen, it was mentioned in the episode with Silvy I think
Oh, that scene? I don't think that flat out insinuates that they've already graduated. They could still be in high school, and it's just that Carlos had Silvy's mother, Mrs. Larson, as a teacher in a grade prior to the one he's already in.

[AoBlue]

I'm still a firm believer that they graduated after "Countdown to Destruction" but definately before "Quasar Quest". Unless the Angel Grove High decided to give them a free pass to fulfill their Ranger duties. LoL.

[bobtherandomguy]

Oh, that scene? I don't think that flat out insinuates that they've already graduated. They could still be in high school, and it's just that Carlos had Silvy's mother, Mrs. Larson, as a teacher in a grade prior to the one he's already in.

yes that was always my assumption but considering the people who know far more then I said otherwise I assumed they had more proof

[Captain Platypus]

"Hey kids want to be a hero and save the world?" "Then drop out of High School! The Power Rangers said so!"

This has been a message from the Power Rangers approved by Zordan in association with Saban and Fox Kids

Actually, the moral that being a hero sometimes means giving up your everyday and making sacrifices is very good for children. The idea that you have to make sacrifices to be a hero is a lesson we don't get too often. Greg Aranowitz said in his rangercast interview about SPD that he wanted to convey the idea that being a hero is more than just wish fulfillment (to varying levels of success) and required hard work & sacrifice.

Sometimes being a superhero means having to choose between graduating high school or saving the world.

Though I still hold that the world of PR has a very different attitude towards education and the physical edifice of a school. In fact, I suspect that by SPD, Z's school would operate for a much shorter chunk of the day and might even be one of the few physical schools still operating.

[SirGreen]

im kinda surprised no one said this but remember the end of space? they were forced to show that they were the rangers excluding andros and i beleive zhane to. im sure they became big time celebs. and also didnt they graduate with tommy and the gang in the turbo season? i thought they were all the same ages/

[bobtherandomguy]

no TJ's team was definitely shown in school during Turbo

[SirGreen]

oh my bad i dont remember turbo that much

[Digifiend]

And it's only Andros who didn't morph in public, not Zhane as well, Zhane was on Earth with the others but Andros was busy with his sister.

[Super Jeff]

"Hey kids want to be a hero and save the world?" "Then drop out of High School! The Power Rangers said so!"

This has been a message from the Power Rangers approved by Zordan in association with Saban and Fox Kids

Well we have been questioning Zordon's methods for a while havn't we? Ha ha

[Captain Platypus]

Zordon had almost nothing to do with that decision. They were looking for him, but he generally wanted those kids to stay in school

[Super Jeff]

Man some people here need a sence of humor

[tkdnmb]

Man, this is such a messed up idea.

i want to say that they stated that the robots rangers were captured in C2D 1.... i might be wrong though

[bobtherandomguy]

Man some people here need a sence of humor

it does help to make funny comments

[Cmdr Crayfish]

The Robot Rangers are never mentioned again after they appeared in Turbo. Most people assume they were killed in the initial siege of Eltar.

[Mugenhunt]

But actually they were salvaged and sent back to Earth to cover up for the Space Rangers in their personal lives while they worked to save the universe. You can't prove that they DIDN'T do so.

Later, the TJ bot killed the original and took his place for Forever Red.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

I joked about this to Amit repeatedly circa Forever Red. He claimed it would never take legs within the fandom. Indeed, I am often amazed it didn't!

[Captain Platypus]

He doesn't need to. TJ could just never return to earth again and leave the robot for the sake of his loved ones. After all, he was still active as a space ranger circa lost galaxy

[bobtherandomguy]

Yes only a robot afterall would want to tell a story of getting baked into a giant pizza

[Captain Platypus]

Not necessarily, I think he understands that this is his greatest moment. He lost the command center. The upside is that he became delicious pizza

[SirStack]

That would've been an interesting retcon, to have Andros' initial coldness to the Turbo teens be because he met or at least saw the demise of their Robot Ranger doubles.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

He fell in love with Robo TJ. After his heart had already been broken by Zhane's demise... He didn't have any room left!

[Lonewolf92]

Not necessarily, I think he understands that this is his greatest moment. He lost the command center. The upside is that he became delicious pizza

TJ: Hey guys did I tell you about the time I lost two zords and the power chamber?

[Captain Platypus]

TJ: Hey guys did I tell you about the time I lost two zords and the power chamber?

Behind the scenes at Forever Red:

Andros: why'd you invite T.J.?

Tommy: he makes a good meat shield. Plus, the pizza story cracks me up.

[TZMhero]

Jason:...You called all of us back, all ten of us, to fight Serpentara...when this kid and his bike with a face, could just blow it up? Are you sh*tting me?

[Captain Platypus]

Tommy: And now for the true mission! Everyone to the travel agent! Ten or more and I get a group discount

Andros: It was never about Serpentera, was it?

[SirGreen]

Tommy: And now for the true mission! Everyone to the travel agent! Ten or more and I get a group discount

Andros: It was never about Serpentera, was it?

ha thats greatyou all are funny. i laughed really hard at the end of fr when he said that. i saw an alternate ending on you tube to it it was rather interesting

[O.92]

What did you think of Astronema, Ecliptor, and all the new villains?

[Jacen Solo]

What did you think of Astronema, Ecliptor, and all the new villains?

They were great! The iS villains were really given added depth in a universe where things were no longer simply black and white. We had Astronema, who was different from the beginning. She was younger than other villains gone before and had a certain innocence about her, and as the season progressed we found out the real story. We had Ecliptor, who was loyal only to Astronema, and Darkonda, who appeared to serve Dark Specter but was only loyal to himself. And then of course Dark Specter, who I was shocked to learn was the big bad all along. Who would have thought that? The cameos from Divatox were hilarious too.

[Lonewolf92]

And then of course Dark Specter, who I was shocked to learn was the big bad all along. Who would have thought that?

Nobody because they never mentioned him until Chase into Space part 2. Your making it sound like he was some character in the background who was revealed to be the big bad all along. Were you shocked that Andros was the Red Ranger too?

[Mr. White]

The villians were cool. Astronema was hot:p and Elciptor was pretty much the loyal servant/warrior. Darkonda was alright but had way to many lives lol but it was cool how he combined with Ecliptor though. Dark Specter was erm well lets just say average I guess. But probally my favorite villians in Space were probally the Psycho Rangers. They were pretty much undefeatable until the rangers got smarter and the Psychos got all stubborn and stuff and attacked by themselves instead of all of em attackin the same time:p

[Thrax]

What did you think of Astronema, Ecliptor, and all the new villains?

The villans in PRIS are awesome !!!!

Astronema the main villan she is really hot and very powerfull, i liked a lot of the story of Astronema she has created by Ecliptor since as younger and Ecliptor raiser to be evil, but Ecliptor as the loyal warrior of Astronema is loyal servant but Astronema trust unholy in Ecliptor and with the supervision Ecliptor raise Astronema and make her became ever and tell her about the story of is past but as a fake story, of is planet and parents and brothers were destroyed for the POWER RANGERS, and is really awesome to see them have a conection between this villans and seeEcliptor cares about Astronema.

Dark Specter is really awesome he is the head Master of the all villans and very powerfull and all villans have afraid of him, and i liked a lot of him just Astronema for the spacial missions and put the others villans side because Astronema is the most truth and loyal survant to Dark Specter and for shore Dark Specter know about the fails of the Rita,Zedd,Divatox and the others past villans, Dark Specter there has there all along but for shore DP as in the Symerian planet and for shore Dark Specter as made war with Eltar to destroy the Zordon power and rule the universe and destroy all good forces

Darkonda as diferent concept of the others PR series because in the past seasons we never see one villan like Darkonda because Darkonda is really devious and cleaver and twisted and loyal just to himself and have is own plans to rule the universe even if that as destroy and sacrifice all villans i liked to see Darkonda as the responsable to Astronema start because Darkonda take Karone and deliver to her Ecliptor and i really to see the battles between Darkonda and Ecliptor because Darkonda want to overthrow Astronema and Dark Specter to the scene and became the ruler of the universe but i liked to see Darkonda make double game with Dark Specter, the thing of the lives i liked as a nice touch to is villan

Psyco rangers they as amazing and really powerfull aganst the rangers, and they almost destroy the rangers and were created with Dark Specter powers because they stole Dark Specter energie, they are very powerfull in the start theywork as a team the problem as they became to turn on back of each other and that as something really good of them but if they work as a team for shore they destroy the rangers because that as a really problem with the the villans, when they work they always finish with the rangers, but Psycos are diferent of the Copy rangers of appear in others past series like Rita created clones of the rangers, the Psyco rangers are a diferent concept of as made is past series of PR

[HenshinRider]

TJ: Hey guys did I tell you about the time I lost two zords and the power chamber?

Tommy: (off-camera) I can top that. I lost three megazords (MegaThunderZord, Ninja Megazord, Shogun Megazord) and the command center.

[Bighead]

Tommy: (off-camera) I can top that. I lost three megazords (MegaThunderZord, Ninja Megazord, Shogun Megazord) and the command center.

He didn't lose those two. They were just...lost in transition. He did lose the Tigerzord though.

(And the Zeozords and Red Battlezord...)

[ForeverBlue]

What did you think of Astronema, Ecliptor, and all the new villains?

The new villains were awesome! Astronema was hot! lol

[Lonewolf92]

He didn't lose those two. They were just...lost in transition. He did lose the Tigerzord though.

(And the Zeozords and Red Battlezord...)

Don't forgot he lost the Ninja power coins. The only set of powers to truly be destroyed for good

[Digifiend]

He didn't lose those two. They were just...lost in transition. He did lose the Tigerzord though.

(And the Zeozords and Red Battlezord...)Yeah, the Shogun Megazord was taken over by the Alien Rangers and Ninja Megazord rendered inoperable by the destruction of the ninja power coins (just like Dragonzord became inoperable when the green ranger powers expired). Falconzord was still operable thanks to the remote, but that was destroyed with the Command Centre, rendering that zord inoperable too. The Super Zeo Megazord may have been destroyed with the Power Chamber, but that would be TJ's fault.

[Thrax]

well The Ninja e Shoguns zords for shore are off line in the Ninjor temple, Dragon Zord for shore as sleep in the Angel Grove sea, and i think the Zeo Zords fleet for shore dont as destroyed because the Zeo Zords bay is not close to the Power chamber i think is really far

[Digifiend]

The Zeo Megazord and Red Battlezord were destroyed in Scorpion Rain, which was made canon by Forever Red. The Zeo Zord holding bay was shown to be in a mountain - presumably the same one the Command Centre stands on. The Alien Rangers used the Shogun Megazord in eight fights, I've always assumed they took it back to Aquitar, which would explain it's failure to appear in Rangers of Two Worlds.

[bobtherandomguy]

they mentioned the Battleborgs in Rangers of Two worlds, but not the Shogun Zords, I think it's unlikely they took them back to Aquitar

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Maybe they got destroyed during the Hydrocontaminator conflict, Mr. Smart Guy.

[OmegaRanger]

"that is one ugly zord" does not make that stupid thing canon or in-continuity. Seriously **** Scorpion Rain and Amit. It didn't happen in show it didn't happen. All the Zeo-zords[,zeo, REd BZ, Super] are all intact and on stand-by in the Holding bay if they are needed again.

[bobtherandomguy]

yes negating word of god is always a good idea

[Gumdrops]

The villians (some of them) in Space were given more depth and humanized. The ones we had seen before were just 2d cartoony, characatures really.

The Ecliptor/Astronema relationship was very sweet actually. He basically raised her and really cared about her and Astronema cared for him in turn. It was like a father/daughter relationship in a away. I found it touching how he reacted when Astronema had been blasted with the Spiral Saber. Overall, I found Ecliptor to be a very sympathetic character and felt sad when he got destroyed by the wave.

Darkonda was just an unprepentant evil bastard. When he merged himself with Ecliptor, I was actually kinda shocked. He was clearly out for himself and would've seized power for himself had he had the chance.

I never gave much thought to Dark Spector. He was just an ugly monster who Astronema answered too.

Astronema is probably my fave main villain ever. She was 3 dimensional and we got to see many sides to her throughout the season. Her turning out to be Andros' long lost little sister was a good storyline and helped to drive the season. Her wigs were fun, and I liked that she was actually proactive. Like, when she met Zhane or took over Ashley's body. She didn't just sit around barking orders, she actually got into the action sometimes. Her magical powers were cool and I could actually believe her becoming the queen of evil.

The Psychos were scary by PR standards. They were crazy powerful and hard as hell to beat.

I hated Elgar and didn't care for any of the footsoldier things.

[OmegaRanger]

yes negating word of god is always a good idea

It didn't happen. people need to accept it and move on.

[bobtherandomguy]

why do you have such a hard time accepting that it did happen, your the one in this conversation in denial

[OmegaRanger]

why do you have such a hard time accepting that it did happen, your the one in this conversation in denial

Because more than likely the Amit nutslingers wouldn't be so quick to accept that if some other writer tried to pull it.

[bobtherandomguy]

word of god, it doesn't matter if it was Doug Sloan or Bruce Kalish, if word of god says something we have to accept it

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Wow, making gay bashing jokes about a friend of mine... Gee, if Greg tried pulling a stunt like that to fix frayed continuity I'd applaud him. What the hell is your problem, kid?

[Cmdr Crayfish]

"that is one ugly zord" does not make that stupid thing canon or in-continuity. Seriously **** Scorpion Rain and Amit. It didn't happen in show it didn't happen. All the Zeo-zords[,zeo, REd BZ, Super] are all intact and on stand-by in the Holding bay if they are needed again.

You willing to tell Greg all of his answers to questions to explain continuity problems are irrelevant, and to f*ck him for trying to fix it? Same with Eddie and RPM? Jackie at Morphicon? Tony at most conventions he's done over the years? I'd tell Eddie to piss off for entirely different reasons, but...

[Crimson Soul]

Please watch the language Chris, we have a word filter for a reason.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

"Take the piss" is colloquial in British English for a reason. Piss off does correlate to that. It does not have a direct correlation to bodily functions, nor is it banned. If you want to call me for it, you need to deal with about six other people who've used it in the past week without incursion. Indeed, until NCBradin used it I presumed it WAS filtered.

[SirStack]

Please watch the language Chris, we have a word filter for a reason.

...But "nutslinger" is appropriate?

[Cmdr Crayfish]

I'm a bigger target than most proles, Jesse. I'm cognizant of that fact. People don't listen to Omega, they listen to me.

... though I am amused, after a homosexuality-positive thread on gays was closed, throwing insults oriented on sexuality is acceptable by the moderation staff. Wow, that's a negative message to send.

[Captain Platypus]

It IS the internet. Homophobia and hate are rampant even here

[Hellion01]

Logically speaking, i believe that alot of people havent seen Scorpion rain and just like omega here, doesnt believe it happened especially because THIS WAS NOT shown. Do i believe that his post was kinda extreme? Yes. Do i blame him for not believing in it? No. Remember, this ep was a hoax/april fools joke to begin with and "fan made" Aka not legit whether this amit guy says it is or not. Now excluding Scorpion rain, the zords are still functional most likely but buried in rubel thanks to elgar in CIS.

[Lonewolf92]

What did you think of Astronema, Ecliptor, and all the new villains?

Dark Specter- Pretty cool that they finally settled on one Big Bad of all big bads instead of Lord Zedd is the most evil thing in the universe oh nope Master Vile is even worse oh wait King Mondo and Queen Machina are the only ones in the universe more evil then Vile and finally no this guy is the evil to end all evil. Wish they didn't recycle the Maligore costume though. Couldn't they have used footage of Javious the first from Megaranger who Dark Specter was pretty much a pastiche for anyways

Astronema- Great villain even before the big reveal and Melody is pretty good actress for PR standards. Fantastic acting in Astronema thinks twice. Another great moment (though this would be a praise on Tracey's acting ability) was when Astronema as Ashley receives the gift from Alpha and she's all touched by it then dismisses it and throws it aways. Though I personally thought Trakeena was better developed villain then Astronema but that's just me

Ecliptor- Another great villain. I felt it was actually pretty cruel that the energy wave vaporized him but reformed Zedd, Rita, and Divatox.

Dark Conda- Not gonna lie he got on my nerves. "Dark Conda's the name, evil's the game."Shut the hell up!

[Psychosilver]

You didn't like Dark Conda? I thought he was the core of evil! Evil people don't care about anything but themselves, not even their allies. It's hard to find a villain these days like that. And the way he died and kept showing up was annoying, but that's what made him awesome.

[O.92]

You didn't like Dark Conda?

Darkonda.

I actually liked him. I've always felt like he was PR's first genuine a$s****.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Do i blame him for not believing in it? No.

Keep in mind "that Amit guy" is the writer of the damn episode, and people on this board fall all over themselves when even mere actors contrive explanations for things. Greg says SPD is corrupt. I don't see people losing their minds over that.

[Hellion01]

Still doesnt make it legit no matter what you say to justify it lol.

[Crimson Soul]

I was not referring to that. I was referring to your use of the term "f*ck". The actual word is filtered for a reason, star added or not.

[Psychosilver]

Well, I can see it now that someone brought it to light. But when I was watching it, I didn't think of it as such.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Still doesnt make it legit no matter what you say to justify it lol.

Like three weeks ago you were gushing about how awesome I was for having any involvement in Scorp, now you hate it and are bashing it. Fact of the matter is, hypocrisy disgusts me. Greg decreed that SPD is not in the PRU. Eddie and John have both decreed RPM is not in the PRU. We may work on fanwanks and writearounds to get around it ('well, something analogous to SPD must happen'), but the fact of the matter is, it's their product. They're right. And the fans DO accept it for all they complain otherwise. I think the reason fans invented a separate standard for Amit is because he used to be a fan. Which is repugnant and moronic. Retconning Scorpion Rain into the timeline is no different, LITERALLY NO DIFFERENT, than decreeing in defiance of all continuity references that SPD and RPM are their own universes.

to be fair some version of SPD has to exist, maybe not the season we saw but some version...

unless Once a Ranger is Out of Continuity

[Cmdr Crayfish]

Piggy exists. AND stickleberries.

[Psychosilver]

As well as the Dino Rangers met them on several occasions. And saw the future with them.

[Cmdr Crayfish]

You're missing the point: SPD had a PRU of its own. Greg insisted the continuity errors were because SPD's PRU wasn't QUITE the same as the one we'd seen for the twelve seasons prior.

[nekollx]

You're missing the point: SPD had a PRU of its own. Greg insisted the continuity errors were because SPD's PRU wasn't QUITE the same as the one we'd seen for the twelve seasons prior.

we get that, all we're saying is SOME VERSION of SPD HAD to exist. That's all

[Psychosilver]

Yeah, and it kind of explains why the voices weren't the same when Kira and Ethan saw the future (I guess.) SPD was going to be around in some shape or form.

[Charles RB]

word of god, it doesn't matter if it was Doug Sloan or Bruce Kalish, if word of god says something we have to accept it

Amit has also said, more than once, that he has no idea what Scorpion Rain is and what anyone's talking about. Which is a lie but, hey, if Word of God has to count at all times...

Since Scorpion Rain was never finished as a fan-film and hardly anyone has seen it - the synopses don't even give much data - claiming it's in continuity just seems bloody daft. "Everything makes sense according to this story that you can never see"?

[Mugenhunt]

Officially, Scorpion Rain is not in continuity. Tommy alludes to events in Forever Red that are kinda similar to those described in Scorpion Rain, but that's it.

You're missing the point - the episode makes it in-continuity. It's a sequel. Serpenterra is damaged and on the moon BECAUSE of events analogous to those depicted in Scorpion Rain.

[Charles RB]

the episode makes it in-continuity. It's a sequel. Serpenterra is damaged and on the moon BECAUSE of events analogous to those depicted in Scorpion Rain.

Except in the episode, it just says "Lord Zedd was defeated" and Serpentera lay hidden on the moon. That's it. It never descrives events analogous to those presented in Scorpion Rain, i.e. the Rangers going to Zedd and Serpentera being active. It doesn't even say the Zeo Rangers did it (though it certainly implies it).

[Digifiend]

The writer of FR was involved in the whole Scorpion Rain hoax. Word of God says something similar to Scorpion Rain happened.

[Mugenhunt]

No, it just suggests that something similar to Scorpion Rain happened in the PR Universe. Heck, Scorpion Rain had Serpentera's wreckage fall to Earth, but Forever Red amended that to landing on the moon because that's where the big battle was supposed to happen.

and if in PRIS, Astronema try to put Serpentera on-line to make her even more powerfull, but with a major upgrade of energie and not happen like we see in MMPR S2 with Zedd, Serpentera loses is energie, because i believe Astronema have more ways that the past villans like Rita,Zedd,Master Vile and even the Machine Empire, because the armys of the Astronema are more ruthless them the armys of the past villans of the others Power Teams have face in the past battles

[Captain Platypus]

Hmmm, maybe the PRU is layered like the Digital World? You know, many similarities, but the continuity is not quite the same. It would explain why the war that destroyed the earth for Time Force is averted. Not all ranger teams are taking place in the same world and thus the earth is less densely packed with suits and zords than we thought. This of course doesn't take team-ups into consideration, but I could just say that the break happened at Wild Force and we could be dealing with an Earth-1, Earth-2 scenario

[Digifiend]

Dino Thunder, with Tommy, disproves your theory.

[Hellion01]

now you hate it and are bashing it. Fact of the matter is, hypocrisy disgusts me.
Dude dont twist my words...i did not bash SR in anyway nor did i say i hated it. Im just sayin IMO its not a solid thing. Anyone can move on in the PRU w/o seeing SR and watch FR and just think of it as any special ep with a little history from the Zordon era. Its NOT MANDITORY to watch. The fact that the ep is not even available (i know why) proves this even more. Take a damn chill pill.

[Captain Platypus]

there were doubles on Earth-1 and 2. They were universes adjacent to each other. It's why I chose that analogy. We can get crossovers with identical characters, but it's still a separate universe with a separate timeline

Does that explain why the clip show in Dino Thunder implies that Astronema was a simple villain and nothing more and the Attack on the universe apparently never happened?

[Captain Platypus]

Might be, this is not a well thought out theory, just a bull**it crazy hypothesis that I threw out to see if the folks who are GOOD at fanwanking can make something out of it

[bobtherandomguy]

Andros was loyal to both Tommy and Zordon, maybe Tommy didn't want anyone who saw the tape to think he killed Tommy's mentor to save his evil sister, So Tommy cut it out

[Cmdr Crayfish]

No, it just suggests that something similar to Scorpion Rain happened in the PR Universe. Heck, Scorpion Rain had Serpentera's wreckage fall to Earth, but Forever Red amended that to landing on the moon because that's where the big battle was supposed to happen.

You got that wrong. Serpentera is flying back to the moon when it explodes. It's the stock "against the full moon" shot from Dairanger, superimposed with an explosion. Forever Red amends that to "yeah, a bomb went off inside of it but it crashed intact on the surface of the moon." The LOCATION is not the anomaly. Serpentera being in any kind of an intact state is.

[Charles RB]

And it's also buried, at least partially. That's probably from the crash, but now I like to imagine a Super Zeozord carefully dumping soil over it.

[Digifiend]

Andros was loyal to both Tommy and Zordon, maybe Tommy didn't want anyone who saw the tape to think he killed Tommy's mentor to save his evil sister, So Tommy cut it outThe real world explanation of course is simply that it was cut for time, but that does sound like a good in-universe explanation for it's omission.

[Lonewolf92]

The real world explanation of course is simply that it was cut for time, but that does sound like a good in-universe explanation for it's omission.

Or the real world explanation is that Disney sucks and they can kiss it

[bobtherandomguy]

I don't really think Disney cared what went into the Clipshow, that's all the writers

[President Ranger]

Maybe Tommy just didn't have the footage of zordons tube getting smashed. Who knows how he got all those other clips.

[bobtherandomguy]

but the video had footage of Tommy getting captured by Rita, which brings up the question, Zordon pretty much watched everything that happened in Angel Grove, he must have known Tommy was an even match for Jason, when Rita went to Earth to capture him, or sent down the putties for that matter, how come he didn't have the rangers spring into action, I mean he has them spring into action to protect Bulk and Skull why not Tommy

[President Ranger]

People got kidnapped all the time during the MMPR days by Rita/Zedd. Sometimes you catch it and other times you don't I guess.

[Captain Platypus]

Kidnapped, killed, the pru is dangerous

That they did, I actually didn't know that episode even existed until many years later.

[bobtherandomguy]

I actually kind of like that episode

[Lonewolf92]

I liked the sweetness to it. The ending bothered me a little. I know in PRU humans can breathe in space but it always bothers me whenever i see it

well in PRIS i liked of the all series !!!

[Captain Platypus]

I love the one where Zhane stands astronema up. Especially in Countdown to Destruction where Andros starts acting like a big brother

Andros: You dated my sister?

Zhane: Oh Frell

[ForeverBlue]

My favorite episodes....all of them! :D

[Quark]

What are your favorite episodes for this season?

Carlos on Call, Always a Chance, and for some reason Silence is Golden

[Fury Diamond]

Out of Nowhere, Always a Chance, Countdown to Destruction, and plenty others. :)

[Green Guardian]

I feel terrible for not posting in this thread yet. PRiS is my favorite PR season. Like Thrax said (I think it was on page 2), PRiS had many groundbreaking things going on and a lot of them continued on through RPM. For instance, the Andros/Karone family storyline was the first in PR history to be a main part of the show. The family concept continued with Leo and Mike, Dana, Ryan and Captain Mitchell, etc. It had backstabbing villains (Darkonda). The villains weren't cookie-cutter cutouts. You never had a read on them.

But anyway, my favorite episodes of PRiS are: The Delta Discovery, Always a Chance, the Psycho Rangers saga (especially Five of a Kind and Silence is Golden), Astronema Thinks Twice, and The Rangers' Leap of Faith. And my all-time favorite episodes in PR history are Countdown to Destruction parts 1 and 2. IMO, that's PR at its best. I can still remember the shock, surprise, and sadness I felt when watching Countdown to Destruction part 2, specifically.

[Super Jeff]

The Psycho ranger saga were the best episodes of the season.

[Lonewolf92]

You know CDTD was great but I felt like it could have been more. We could have had all the Rangers from the past Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, Kim as the Morphins. Tommy, Adam, Rocky, Tanya, and Kat as the Zeos. And Justin as Blue Turbo. But nooooo.

[Mugenhunt]

Poor Aisha... all alone...

[Lonewolf92]

Lol well I guess she could be the Yellow Ninja

[MichalkaManiac]

"A Rift in the Rangers" (I remember watching it the first time it aired; I also once had the Psycho VHS 'til about recently); I consider it to be way better than "Big Sisters", Forever Friends", and "The Rival Rangers". Also it was the first time I ever got actually used to the 2 girls as a duo, even if this was late in the season.

Other of my favorites are:

"From Out of Nowhere"

"Invasion of the Body Switcher"

"Always a Chance"

"Five of a Kind"
"Orion Rising"--OH, WAIT!:o_O:

[Digifiend]

Tommy, Adam, Rocky, Tanya, and Kat as the Zeos. And Justin as Blue Turbo. But nooooo.Well the Morphin powers were unusable, and if the Zeos appeared, they'd need a damned good explanation for Adam's use of the damaged MMPR morpher in Always a Chance, when he could've used the intact Zeo powers. No excuse for Justin's no show, they wouldn't even need Blake Foster again, just have him morphed like the Gold and Alien Rangers, and take any hiyas from past episodes.

He probably meant, as themselves, not morphed or anything, just be among the civilians. Tbh, I wouldn't have minded seeing them there myself.

[Digifiend]

No, Lonewolf mentioned which powers would be used. He intended them to be morphed.

[MMPRfan90]

Lol well I guess she could be the Yellow Ninjai always thought Rocky could've been the red ninja in FR.

[Lonewolf92]

No, Lonewolf mentioned which powers would be used. He intended them to be morphed.

Correct Digifiend. Especially since you know there was no way in hell David Yost was coming back so he of course would have to appear morphed only. If Jason could use a coin he shouldn't have in Forever Red and Justin and TJ could powers that were suppose to be gone and used them in True Blue and Forever Red respectively then I think we could fanwank the return of powers for CDTD. Since it was suppose to be the battle of the universe I think Ninjor could have recreated the Dino coins and somebody fix any problems with the Zeonisers.

[Captain Platypus]

Except PR up to then was a steady escalation of strength. By all accounts, the space rangers were supposed to be stronger than the turbos. Why get weaker rangers to handle that kind of threat. If you wanna do something, slap a morpher on every single person on earth and hold back the invasion till you blow the grid taps

I see no reason to believe the Space Rangers were more powerful than the Turbos - the Space Morphers were originally for use on KO-35 after all.

[Digifiend]

They also didn't get the standard five-piece Megazord until mid-season. The only team that happened to. All others have one zord per ranger from the off.

[Thrax]

yh, but as a really cool concept with there Megazords the Astro Megazord and Delta Megazord

[Captain Platypus]

The Space Rangers were fighting Astronema, who the machine empire wet themselves over. The Space Rangers fought her forces. That tends to tell me that they might have been a smidge more powerful than they were before

[Lonewolf92]

If Zordon had everything or pretty much everything planned out (oh god here we go again I'm so sorry guys) then yes I can believe the astro morphers were more powerful then the turbo powers. But if most of the stuff just happen was coincidences and uncontrollable circumstances then I find it hard to believe Zordon would give more powerful morphers to a planet that wasn't under his watch like earth. If I had to guess I would say the Zeo powers were the most powerful of the Zordon era, then the Turbos and Astros are about tied, and then the Ninja and then the Dino.

[Digifiend]

I'd agree, except that the Ninja powers were weaker than the dino powers until they got the shortlived Metallic Armour. Think about it, they no longer had the Power Weapons and Power Cannon!

[bobtherandomguy]

yeah and besides Ninjor said it himself, they were switching from Brute Strength to cunning, Dino was definitely physically more powerful

[Thrax]

well in my opinion the Astro powers are more stronger that the Turbo powers, because the citizens of the KO-85 as for shore expect a Dark Specter invasion, Zeo powers are very stronger and come of the Zeo crystal, Turbo powers maybe come of Zordon create a evoluction of the Crystal Zeo

The space rangers weren't protecting KO-35. They were protecting ... SPACE. They were dealing with threats a planetary ranger wouldn't have to. It's why their megazord is a dang spaceship. They're a proactive ranger team, not reactive. They go to where the danger is

[bobtherandomguy]

KO-35 had already fell by the time Zhane got attacked I think
