What did you think of the season premiere?

The primere of SPD as pretty awesome i liked this season is past in the future is pretty cool, and the first scene as awesome, we see the Battleship of Grum destroy Melandia, i liked we have a Academy who trainning teens and aliens to became POWER RANGERS to protect the planet !!!

I liked to see The cadets trainning in the start and others scenes with see Cruger and A-Squad and Sky,Syd and Bridge go try to arrest Jack and Z and lose and they escaped of them, and Grumm is pretty awesome as villan !!!

When Sky,Sid, and Bridge are chosen to became PR as awesome and Kat introduces B Squad heir new Delta Morphers, which can detect whether a suspect is guilty or innocent, when the foot soldier appears are cool with the Blue head

I liked when Sky,Sidney and Brigde battle the Krybots and when thme 3 morph and action and continue battle the Krybots and are save for Jack and Z, i liked the intervecion of Cruger and Sky catchs Jack, it as cool when Cruger tell Jack and Z the things will change for this point, the world will change, Z chose to became a member of the SPD, Sky dont like became the blue ranger, I liked of the Piggy and helps the rangers about the thing of they have

I liked when all for ranger morph to battle the Blue head and the crybots and when they are losing the battle Jack decides to became the red ranger and save the team, and Broodwing come and makes a robot attack the city and enter in action the A-Squad and destroy the robot of Broodwing, Piggy as working for Grumm and give him the device.

Commander Cruger congradulates the B Squad Power Rangers on a job well done, but they have a long way to go, and i liked of the punish of the Cruger for Jack and Z

At the time, I was losing interest because of inconsistant scheduling. So I lost interest in Dino Thunder in the begining. When I was flipping through channels and saw this. I figued what the heck and watch it. Well I have to say the firrst two episodes were petty darn good. It drew me in.

SPD got me back into PRs. I was nostalgic about MMPR and started watching MMPR again and enjoying, I had the idea "man they really ran it into the ground" but since Toon Disney was airing so much PRs I decided to check it out, caught one episode of SPD thought the Police theme was stupid and that they didn't have secret identities but I was wowed by how much I enjoyed it. I decided to check out the season and loved the premier, it was PRs yet modernized and grew to love the theme.

Re-watched it again last year and I still liked it just as much, thought maybe my opinion would change since the fandom seems to dislike SPD 50/50 but it holds up. The season does get a bit stale 3/4ths through the season but ends strong IMO. I don't see how anyone can dislike this series, its a fun show.

Why the heck did they introduce the battlizer two episodes before SWAT Mode? It was effectively made obsolete immediately. They should've introduced it after SWAT Mode, which would still be the other rangers' strongest form. And the futuristic setting messed up continuity just a tad - RPM outright contradicts it because it also was set in the future.

I can agree with the notion that the SWAT Mode should've been before the Battlizer. I liked the approach used in Mystic Force where the Legendary Mode was introduced several episodes before Battlizer was. Lost Galaxy did a similar thing with the Lights of Orion. Was there a clarfication on which mode was more powerful (battlizer vs red swat mode)?

I think it was more of the plots getting stale around that time, I did love the battlizer though, I thought it was awesome, didn't care much for SWAT Mode. The futuristic setting was great, it allowed aliens walking in and the whole thing did look futuristic anyways. I don't think it messes with continuity really, and wont until we get to PRs 2020(2?) or whenever SPD takes place and technology still isnt on par, but even then you can just excuse it as New Tech City being more advanced and the place for aliens, and really by that time I don't think I'll be too concerned with continuity of PRs. RPM contradicting it is more of RPMs fault than SPDs and it really doesn't contradict it, RPM takes place after SPD, simple as that.

If that is the case, then it does make sense to have SWAT Mode after the Battlizer. They could've pushed those episodes back further, but the issue is that there is a 32 episode limit and the story must fit within that constraint.

I've got to be honest here: it really baffles me how people can claim that S.P.D. is such a great season; yes, the majority of the characters are very well-written and cast and the overall premise is one of the best in PR history, but those things are completely overshadowed by the myriad of problems with the season. A few examples:
1) The season is extremely poorly paced, to the point that it ultimately ends up being more disjointed than even the first half of Power Rangers Turbo.

2) Certain story threads are set up and then abandoned for long stretches of episodes, only to then be retouched upon late in the season.

3) Certain characters simply show up with no explanation of how they got where they are, or how they fit into what's been previously set up.

4) The behavior of certain characters is handled extremely inconsistently, with certain characters behaving in ways at certain points in the season that don't jive with their behavior at other points in the season.

5) Certain writing/storyline decisions make absolutely no logical sense, and really don't seem to fit with the overall theme and storyline of the season.

Now that I've gotten my rant out of the way, it's time to answer the question about the theme song.

What did you think of the theme song?
Like Dino Thunder before it, S.P.D. is a season that has an awesome theme song, but ultimately has a ton of problems with the season itself that ultimately make it (the season) suck. As great as some of the other preceding season themes were, it was great to see/hear Ron come back to PR. The S.P.D. theme completely encapsulates the premise of the season, and is one of the few season themes where none of the lyrics seem out of place.

Mr. Black
08-02-2010, 09:47 PM
The theme song, for me, was pretty good. It was at a good pace and the lyrics fit pretty well with the series' theme.

I liked of SPD, but i have to agreed in some points because SPD starts pretty well but in some episodes is really some times, some episodes i think shoulb be make much better like The episodes of Sam I e II i dont like much of that episodes

Some story arcs are pretty cool well for me SPD becames much better when Cruger became the Shadow ranger in my opinion is the best character in SPD as Grumm as well.

The characters are well but i think the fact of A-Squad became bad they could be explore more that fact because will be cool if A-squad appear more soon that appears in the final episodes and the final battle between both teams are cool but Disney could be made mauch better istead of happen in just one episode, could happen in 2 episodes, and Broodwing should be defeated in one episode if the final episodes are 3 part arc and not just 2

The B-Squad until the episodes of SWAT dont work sow well when they have the SWAT they decide work as a team, that as complete diferent of the others teams !!!

Thrax inferred that I was including A-Squad as part of my complaints, but that's actually the only instance where S.P.D.'s writers didn't screw up; the reveal that they were A) alive and B) working for Gruum was actually handled perfectly, and, like the 'Mack being a robot' twist from Operation Overdrive, really couldn't have been handled any other way than it was.

Here's some specific examples of the kinds of stuff I was referring to in my rant post:
* Gruum's army being set up in Beginnings as ONLY consisting of Blueheads, Orangeheads, and footsoldiers, only for Mora to show up in Confronted with no mention of how she got there or why, if Gruum had access to her, he didn't use her to create a monster in Beginnings

* Piggy suddenly going to Gruum in Beginnings P2 to help him out

* Too much repetitiveness of ideas in certain places (a good example would be Beginnings P2, where almost nothing actually happens until the second half of the episode)

* No real sense of cohesiveness to some of the early eps

* Certain episodes ultimately being wasted because the things they set-up never ultimately go anywhere (Sam P1 and P2 is a perfect example)

Digifiend
08-03-2010, 05:19 AM
Sam became the Omega Ranger. Major plot point as far as I'm concerned. That's what the Sam two-parter was intended to set-up, a future ranger.

DigificWriter
08-03-2010, 05:28 AM
The point of Sam P1 and P2 isn't just to introduce the character of Sam; it's to establish a rapport between him and Z, and to set him up to be a character that we ultimately see more of; because of the decision to not actually give Omega Ranger a non-morphed form, certain aspects of the things that Sam P1 and P2 sets up ultimately get left unresolved and abandoned (even though we're told that Omega Ranger is Sam), which ultimately makes the two episodes completely useless because their content promises certain things that are ultimately not delivered upon.

Also, in case anyone thinks I'm criticizing the episodes themselves, I'm not, because I happen to consider them 'stand-out' eps from the season; what I'm criticizing, ultimately, is the fact that, despite being extremely well-written eps in and of themselves, they end up becoming S.P.D.'s version of "The Millenium Message".

mnikolic
08-03-2010, 05:50 AM
I've read some posts in this thread and I'm surprised how some members are discussing about abandoned, useless and/or wasted episodes that S.P.D. was supposed to have. I said "was supposed" because the abandoned and never continued stuff was not important for Power Rangers as a whole. Only the parts of the plot and storyline, that were essential for Power Rangers, especially for S.P.D., were picked up and finished. The rest could easily be put into a special series.

PR is not a soap-opera. It is also not a telenovela. It is simply a normal television series for children and now that Saban has bought back PR,, for teenagers once again.

S.P.D. is the last perfect season from Disney. The first one is DinoThunder. Ninja Storm... well, Disney needed time to learn how to handle PR.

DigificWriter
08-03-2010, 06:10 AM
^ Blaming S.P.D.'s problems on 'growing pains' on the part of Disney is, quite frankly, ludicrous. The issues with S.P.D. have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the company producing the season, and everything to do with shoddy writing and pacing that, unfortunately, really doesn't have, as far as I know, any sort of behind-the-scenes explanation that would account for it the way that, say, Power Rangers Turbo (first half) does.

S.P.D.'s problems are so blatantly obvious (and especially to me, given that I myself am a writer, albeit an amateur one) that it really baffles me how people can almost universally praise the season, especially when you consider that the other two seasons produced by S.P.D.'s producer (Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive) are regarded by a large majority of the fandom as being among the worst seasons of PR ever produced, yet do not suffer from nearly the same amount of problems as S.P.D. does in terms of writing and pacing.

SPD is more or less universally enjoyed by most simply because of Greg. The guy put so much into the season, and even though it still didn't come out as the best season in the world, it still had so much going for it. Greg is the only reason we got Mrs. Cruger's story line finished up, seeing as he payed for and constructed her entirely out of his own pocket, while on Christmas break.

Another reason people tend to favor SPD is the actors. All of the actors were very talented, and you believed in their characters. The writing may have been meh at points, and they may have all reverted to who they were in episode 3 (something I've been noticing Overdrive doing very much as well now that I'm watching it) but the characters themselves were likable and were interesting in their own right.

Overall, the characters and the noticeable love of at least one of the Exec producers from behind the scenes gives SPD a popular vibe. As you see in the next season, the characters are less likable and Greg was gone (who wanted something more along the lines of Lord of the Rings for Mystic Force) leading to one of the more hated on seasons of PR in the history of the franchise.


SPD may have only been okay, but damn was it better than what followed, possibly save RPM.

DigificWriter
08-03-2010, 08:55 AM
This is more than likely going to get me hated on, but it quite frankly doesn't matter if some aspects of S.P.D. are good; the fact that there is so much about the season that ISN'T good doesn't justify the fandom being so high on it because it more or less amounts to arbitrarily deciding that some seasons should be condemned because of their flaws while others should be praised in spite of their flaws. If we were going to apply the 'S.P.D. formula' to determining which PR seasons are good and which aren't, Turbo, Wild Force, Mystic Force, and Ninja Storm would all have to be universally considered good seasons when they're not; while those seasons have their own flaws, they don't have nearly half the amount of problems that S.P.D. does.

I'd also argue the idea that MF's characters were weakly written; they may not have been as fleshed-out as characters from some of the other seasons, but their role in the season's story ultimately didn't require them to be more fleshed-out than they were. Would I personally have liked their personalities to have been as fleshed-out as Nick's? Yes. Was that ultimately necessary for the purposes of the story? No.

That as true, the writers dont screw up with A-Squad in SPD, and show even a ranger can be turn to Dark Side and join to the Evil

Well for Sam episodes i think they should be do something like happens in WF when they introduce Kite will be much better and make more sense in SPD, because Sam will stay a few episodes and not just Sam I and II appear and them is gone complety and we see him again in Messenger I,II !!!

What did you think of the S.P.D. Cast?

The SPD cast as pretty awesome !!!

Jack - Jack grew up on the streets and wasn't used to taking orders from anyone. His dream has always been to help the less fortunate and along with his partner in crime Z, he was a modern day Robin Hood. After being arrested by S.P.D., Commander Cruger offers Jack a chance at a better life and recruits him to be the Red Ranger. After finding out as the Red Ranger he was the leader of the Power Rangers, Jack took advantage of his position at S.P.D. Cruger forces Jack to realize his mistake and his true potential as he leads the B-Squad through some tough challenges.

Sky - Sky is top on B-Squad on weapons and fighting, and believes he should be the Red Ranger just like his father was. He is neat and precise about everything he does, and plays things by the rules. Unfortunately, his pride gets in the way and Commander Cruger picks him to be the Blue Ranger. Sky is not happy about this, especially when he finds out Jack is the Red Ranger. Sky challenges Jack's authority in the beginning, but begins to accept him as the Red Ranger. Although he still wishes to be like his father - a Red Ranger.

Bridge - Bridge might appear slow at times, but he is a computer genious, a master mechanic, and much more. He might be gullible, but also has a heart of gold. People underestimate Bridge, but he always manages to come through with his quick thinking. He often annoys the team and can be very unconventional at times, but his sense of humor is often the heart of the team. He is the perfect canidate to be the Green Ranger.

Z - Z spent most of her life living on the streets - helping the homeless by stealing from those more fortunate. She desired to be a part of something bigger, and when arrested by S.P.D. was offered that chance by Commander Cruger when he made her the Yellow Ranger. Z is the one who always looks out for those who are less fortunate or being picked on.

Sydney - Sydney comes from a rich family and although being spoiled shows, she is the heart of the team. She takes pride in her looks and accomplishments as a model and a singer, but don't let her appearence fool you, she can hold her own as the Pink Ranger. Syd starts off pretty shallow and is quick to think about herself and her appearence.

Cruger - Doggie is in command of Earth's S.P.D. operations. He commands the Power Rangers team, and proves to be one of their most valuable assets by becoming the Shadow Ranger. He is the sole survivor of the planet Sirius, the founder of S.P.D. When the evil Emperor Gruumm attacked Sirius, Doggie faught against all the odds, but couldn't save anyone on his planet, not even his wife Isinia.

Sam - was once a young boy who was picked on because of his genetic abilities. He joined S.P.D. after being befriended by Z. 15 years later, he is chosen to become the Omega Ranger.

Kat - Kat is who the Power Rangers look to for technical support. She has designed most of the Rangers weapons - and is Commander Cruger's trusted assistant and friend


Nova is a friend of Sam's from the year 2040. She comes back in time looking for Sam to bring him home.

The A-Squad is considered the best of the best of Power Rangers at the S.P.D. Academy. They have gone through extensive training and are Commander Cruger's top picks for the defenders of the galaxy.

Well the cast of SPD is pretty awesome !!

I really liked most of the cast.

Jack was awesome, I liked him as the red ranger and how he grew to his role as leader. Didn't exactly love the ending of him no longer being a Ranger since he was a great one but oh well.
Sky was also a great character, loved how he wanted to be the red ranger so bad and the only good thing about Jack leaving is Sky becoming Red was just a great way to end Sky, though if they knew that'd be the ending why did they have that episode of him using Jacks morpher, that was pointless.
Bridge can't say I liked him too much, he was comedy relief but not that funny. I liked him when he would deduce things that the others couldn't in weird ways sadly that aspect of the character wasn't touched upon much and was easily his strongest.
Z was wasted, I loved her in the first few episodes where she still held her "street" attributes but unlike Jack she lost them and quickly became generic.
Syd I don't mind girly rangers by for a police themed season it just didn't make much sense, I still don't understand why she was there.
Sam Can't say that it bothered me that he was a ball of light, I just really liked that he was Sam since it made the earlier two parter seem more important. I hated how he was all powerful at first only to stop it as soon as he joined the team, sure other sixth rangers also appear stronger in their debuts but since he was from the "future" it felt weirder for some reason.
Doggie was awesome, though I liked him less as he became more and more personal about the whole Grumm thing.

Kat was also great, liked her as a character and when she became a ranger, it was never stated that she ran out of time so I was hoping she'd morph in the finale sadly that didn't happen. Nova was awesome for the finale, would have liked to have seen more of her but didn't mind that she was only there for a bit either.

Disney's best season by far, though it did go a bit downhill for me with all the fillers halfway into the series. Here's what I loved about the series, though:

-The cast came off very strong in their roles and the characters grew on me.
-The story was good.
-The first ever anthro to become a Ranger (Cruger) was introduced, which was awesome.
-Sam's introduction as the Omega Ranger brought the total number of Rangers to seven for the first time.
-Boom was a great character and good comic relief.
-The A-Squad Rangers turning out to be villains really shook things up at the end.

And what I didn't really like:
-Gruumm having Mora around really watered him down as a villain. He should have kept her as Morgana.
-Broodwing was just annoying.
-The producers certainly got lazy with Omega Ranger. No civilian actor, nor much character development. What happened to the young man shown briefly right before he and Nova returned to the future? And for that matter...
-Not enough Nova Ranger!

Could you explain why the actors were terrible? I'm interested now.

I used to have a very large list of reason for why I hate SPD(a few of them involving the cast), but it has been over a year since I have watched SPD, so I don't feel like going into to much detail(it would involve me going back and torturing myself with the season again)

So(with out much detail), the cast didn't seem to have good chemistry, or just didn't work well together, the cast took the characters and made them far less believable than they should have been, and Kelson Henderson destroyed any chance of Boom becoming anything more than just horrible. Not to mention the terrible villain cast.
I think that the season could have been better with a different cast.

I also want to mention that I don't have much issues with Monica May. She seemed like a near average Power Rangers actor, and helped to improve her character(who really didn't end up doing much in that season) And I don't want to sound like I just didn't give the season a chance, I watched in full at least 3 times(including when it was first on), and I have given it at least 5 chances.

I completed viewing "Endings," especially the scene where B-Squad chooses to remain B-Squad and not become A-Squad. Crueger then states "There will be no A-Squad."

In my opinion here, A-Squad was not eliminated, just no Power Rangers to fill A-Squad.

Does anyone differ in thought?

The A-squad title and powers were retired because of the previous holders' dishonourable discharge and containment. Cruger meant that nobody would ever have that rank again. B-Squad are the main team, and presumably C-squad would now be the reserves.

Thought that was unique. As far as their weapons, it was interesting that the five rangers didn't have their own weapons but I did like the R.I.C. blaster.

I like the fact that SPD doesn't have that many zords.. you've got the main zord, sixth ranger zord, Huge base (carrier like) zord and the SWAT zord. No endless combinations or zords like other seasons, this is the most any Ranger season should have, I could have done without the swat megazord but it doesn't bother me a lot either.

I LOVED the SPD arsenal. The Delta Command Megazord is one of my all-time favorites! I especially like how the Delta Base had safety zones for the cadets to wait in while it was transforming into Megazord mode, and the two-parter where the Megazord was introduced was really cool. Delta Base Defense System Level 2 indeed!

S.W.A.T. Mode was way cool too, and I love the theme music used whenever the Rangers upgrade.

In response to an earlier post, I'll say that the "A-Squad is evil" reveal at the end of the series was one of a very few times during PR when my jaw dropped. I didn't see that coming at all.

Something I didn't like was how bi-polar the team was LOL! Sky in particular. One minute he's learning to not be a p rick and then the next, he's a p rick again and then he's improving himself, and then he's the antagonist again.

Really liked Kat, Doggie was an a-hole at times but I liked him nonetheless. Was not the biggest fan of Boom bar an episode or two. He was an over actor and wasn't funny to me at all. Just annoying as all hell. Just as I was warming up to Mora she became Morgana and just as I was warming up to her, she was Mora again LOL! Piggie was funny and I liked his role of someone who you couldn't trust but at the end of the day, he had a heart of gold. Grum was odd....his little conversations with himself after losing battles were SO WEIRD!

^ Blaming S.P.D.'s problems on 'growing pains' on the part of Disney is, quite frankly, ludicrous. The issues with S.P.D. have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the company producing the season, and everything to do with shoddy writing and pacing that, unfortunately, really doesn't have, as far as I know, any sort of behind-the-scenes explanation that would account for it the way that, say, Power Rangers Turbo (first half) does.

S.P.D.'s problems are so blatantly obvious (and especially to me, given that I myself am a writer, albeit an amateur one) that it really baffles me how people can almost universally praise the season, especially when you consider that the other two seasons produced by S.P.D.'s producer (Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive) are regarded by a large majority of the fandom as being among the worst seasons of PR ever produced, yet do not suffer from nearly the same amount of problems as S.P.D. does in terms of writing and pacing.

Believe me, SPD is not universally praised despite all the people who do say they love it. I think it gets more credit than it should because it was a (conceptually) ambitious season with a big-budget feel in the beginning. Which I don't think are good reasons to praise the season in light of its numerous flaws, but which can at least be chalked off to people not having very discriminating attitudes when they watch Power Rangers. Which is better than the other big reason that existed back in 2005, which was that a lot of fans were sucking up to Bruce and trying to stamp out any dissenting opinions. 2005 was a VERY ugly time for the PR fandom, from what I can remember. The totalitarian shift was what encouraged me to change from a lurker and infrequent poster into a...more frequent poster. I couldn't stand by and say nothing while I saw the show and its fandom going down such a wrong path.

Maybe they're not showing up in this thread, but quite a few fans can explain why this season was awful. And you're totally right about how Disney isn't to blame, and how inexcusable the writing was. Disney actually provided Bruce with tapes of old PR episodes, to help him get accustomed to the show. Bruce openly stated on RangerBoard that he didn't watch any of those tapes in order to preserve his own vision. But not being familiar with PR isn't even the end of it; SPD is awfully written in general. This is a season with a Ranger who grew up in an apocalyptic future, but somehow ends up upbeat and goofy. So goofy, that he actually breakdances in mid-fight after going back in time to THE DAY when everything went to hell for him and his world. Where the main villain sits in the dark by himself blabbering about "the Magnificence" for two dozen episodes, completely uninvolved in the actual plots. Where Isinia is made to look like a huge story, before going unmentioned for a whopping 20 episodes. Where the writer thought that Jack was right to neglect his duties because he was busy trying to score with a rich, beautiful heiress...I actually hate SPD far more than MF. SPD's Rangers were immature, selfish jerks, who set the behavioral standards that Overdrive and (to a lesser extent) Jungle Fury followed.

As I said before, there are a lot of people who dislike this season and can explain their reasons why. The so-called "Kalish Era" remains a dark age for much of the fandom.

The point is, that would be a funny episode if it weren't for the fact these are goddamned officers of the law who should be reporting a MYSTERIOUS ALIEN PRESENCE INTERCEDING IN A POLICE OPERATION. But no, it's about five droolingly nonfunctional morons who falsify reports to their superior officer to make themselves look better, all of whom gloss over the mysterious and possibly malevolent presence in the battle. It is, by far, some of the worst writing PR has ever had.

If SPD was an actual law enforcement agency they would all be busted and stuck in jail for falsifying reports and omitting details. Now, ask yourself -- would Sky Tate, as presented on this series as a stickler for the rules, do that? No, he wouldn't. But SPD is horribly written drek with no consistency from episode to episode, adapting Dekaranger willy nilly or insisting its badly stapled-on overplot is still chugging away when it plainly isn't.

You could do this episode in any other season and it would be... Obnoxious, but cute enough as an early ep before the team truly gels you could justify it. This was MIDSEASON. Their personalities were still in flux, and they STAYED in flux until season's end. And, again, THEY'RE FREAKING COPS.

The point is, that would be a funny episode if it weren't for the fact these are goddamned officers of the law who should be reporting a MYSTERIOUS ALIEN PRESENCE INTERCEDING IN A POLICE OPERATION. But no, it's about five droolingly nonfunctional morons who falsify reports to their superior officer to make themselves look better, all of whom gloss over the mysterious and possibly malevolent presence in the battle. It is, by far, some of the worst writing PR has ever had.

They didn't use the Boukenger vs. Super Sentai team because they would be constrained by the footage and they would have to get back every actor who was on that team or else it wouldn't work. Also, from a PR perspective the team they got was full with mediocre Rangers (except for Tori and Tommy, IMO).

A-Squad is without question an American product. Afterall, it was the Space/Megaranger helmets with SWAT body gear. Dekaranger had:

DekaRed = SPD Red, et al (Blue-Pink)

DekaMaster = Shadow Ranger

DekaBright = Nova Ranger

Spoiler of the last few episodes of Shinkenger.In Shinkenger, female Shinkenred first appears controlling Shishi Origami while Takeru has been KOed. Then Takeru leaves, and morphs at one point to fight Juzo, and the others have a couple of battles at the same time. They don't share scenes, but it'll be impossible for the morpher to be shared, as there's no way Saban can avoid using those battles.

Wormwhole - The plot as good, Grumm try to comquer the present for SPD dont exists in the future, Cruger just decide to take 3 rangers go to the present to save the present of the Grumm invasion, Zeltrax appears and as take away for Grumm spaceship, Alliance between Zeltrax and Grumm forces, Cruger wants to live the others rangers of the future and comes to help the others, Tommy battles Zeltrax and the others join to the battle, The rangers team up and battle Zeltrax army the battle are really cool, i liked Tommy and Cruger battle Zeltrax as awesome others battles the monster and the Krybots and the T-drones and destroy them and Jack and Connor call for the Battlyzers and destroy the monsters and rangers call for the Z-rex blaster and Canine cannon to destroy the last forces and make the roll call, Cruger erase the memories to the Dino rangers and the SPD rangers and even to himself

What did you think of the two separate team up episodes History and Wormhole?

They were alright. It was nice to see most of the main cast in action, plus the fight scenes were good.

The "no one gets inside our circle" was freakin' annoying, as was the SPD Rangers' holier than thou attitude toward the Dino teens in "History." Otherwise, the teamups were all right.

Yeah, it was kinda on the irritating side they way that the SPD Rangers would look upon the Dino team. Of course I mean I can't really blame them. They were a real team with real training, this was part of their life, the Dino Thunder guys were merely weekend warriors, so to speak, being a Ranger was kind of just something they did on the side. It's the same way that the Active Army looks upon the National Guard or the Army Reserves.

Basically they would see a team of teenagers as inferior to them, because they had never seen the Dino Rangers prove their merit. It's a perception thing, of course they think that they have to be superior to them, they had better equipment, better training, better support systems. That's not to say that the Dino Thunder team was inferior, and basically it all boiled down to them having to prove themselves. When they proved themselves, the had earned the respect of the SPD team. It really can't be held against the SPD for thinking that.

You can when suddenly we learn Kira had ALWAYS been Syd's role model, and Ethan was the genius who coded the datacore of the Deltabase... They were hostile because SPD is poorly written and ill-constructed. Then suddenly, after helping them out in battle, they REMEMBERED what awesome people the Dino Rangers were outside of just superheroing and how much it informed B-Squad's own lives... God, those were awful teamups. Even Jackie had issues with History.

They were both great, although they could make a single team-up and put it into a 2-part episode. Wormhole was a little rushed, but still great.

What did you think of the two seperate team up episodes History and Wormhole?I enjoyed History more than I did Wormhole. One thing in particular that I remember was kinda...silly in History was when the 3 Dino Rangers are teleported....I forget where but they all of a sudden turn around and grab their Dino Gems. That was really weird.

While it was nice seeing Trent again, that wasn't enough to get me into Wormhole. The story just didn't flow well to me and I honesty do think that if Tommy was in there, it would've felt a bit more complete. But whatever, at least we got to see the Dino Thunder rangers TWICE and we'd get to see Kira one more time after that.

Well the ideia of the erase there memories i dont understand why SPD do that because even TF do that, but in general is to protect about the events of come to pass, because the things of future can be know of the present and SPD as try to prevent bigger damage, the dino gems of Broodwing have in History is cool because Broodwing tell is buy them in Onix that means possible Broodwings knows about Dino gems powers and wants to use them for major purpose for example Broodwing can keeps the Dino gems for him and created some more evil monsters or something very powerfull, for example even Broodwing can use the Gems for something else and not to bring the Dino rangers to the future !!!

It was just a regular episode that was held from airing so they could advertise the DVD as having a "never before seen episode/team up", of course canada ****ed it up by accidentally airing the episode which ended up online of course, the DVD still came out month(s) after that with the "never before seen" moniker. Toon Disney eventually aired the team up at a later date anyways as a brand new episode of SPD after the series had ended.

Before it aired it was thought that it was out of continuity (especially since it doesn't fit very well) or an extra episode but it was always a part of the episode order and just held so they could release it on dvd first.

heh, well i'm not an encyclopedia of ranger knowledge unlike others so I probably don't deserve one. I like to think I've picked up a decent amount of knowledge over the years though. That particular question I knew since I got back into PRs during SPD when the whole thing happened or else I wouldn't likely have known. It also reminds me how people thought Mystic Force Dark Wish was going to be a DTV movie since the DVD cover came out before we knew they were regular episodes and it said something along the lines of "The Full length blockbuster".

I loved SPDs headquarters, would have loved seeing more of it, easily my favorite "base".

Grumms ship had potential too bad we never saw anyone of his army besides the robots that he bought from broodwing, it looked more interesting than Lothors ship and I'm not sure why we didn't see much of either to really compare them well.

SPD headquarters - The SPD headquarters as awesome a massive complex with the rangers trainning to became Power rangers as really cool and became a massive Megazord as well, i liked a lot and as really well explore see and reminds a lot pf the Power chamber of the MMPR and Astro Megaship of the PRIS because remids me a lot of them and look a mix between both, and with many tecnology for the rangers to use

Grumm Ship - The Grumm Ship as awesome as really cool and the atmosphere of the Ship as really well made and will becames the body of the Magnificence Omni the master Of Grumm, well we see few things in the Grumm ship i see Grumm chamber and Omni chamber, in Grumm chamber he speaks Omni, The Grumm Ship remimds me the Lothor ship of the NS, The Grumm spaceship could be more explore because they could be show more things like places where the Soldiers fight aganst each other to became more power

What did you think of the villain group for SPD?

Omni Often referred to as the Magnificence, Omni is a being that Gruumm answers to. Gruumm searches for a way to bring the Omni to Earth. He currently resides in a chamber onboard the Terror Spacecraft and has the ability to control anyone's mind, i liked of Omni he is cool villan but will be cool if have appear soon in SPD, and not just in the fina episodes, because in the develoment of the SPD we see Grumm always see with someone

Emperor Gruumm is the leader of the Troobians, a planet-conquering alien force. He is evil, and destroys everything in his path. He destroyed Sirius, the home planet of Anubis, and now his next target is Earth. Gruumm seeks to get revenge against Anubis as well as conquer the Earth. However, it turns out that he is answering to a higher power that he refers to as the Magnificence who is Omni, he is back story with Anubis cruger as awesome is good to see the are the some level

Broodwing a very evil creature that sells weapons, creatures and robots to anyone who can afford it. He only cares about the money he makes and nothing about the destruction that follows. Broodwing takes pride in his merchant skills, and begins to plot revenge on Gruumm, when he starts ordering him to offer his services while refusing to pay, and i liked when him starts to make is plan to comquer the planet for himself

Mora is pure evil and can create real monsters with just her imagination. She has teamed up with Emperor Gruumm to take over the Earth.

Morgana is Mora's adult form. Gruumm found Morgana and turned her into Mora until she continued to fail him. She is known for both her beauty and stregnth, but for some reason she still wishes to return to being Mora to recapture her childhood.

Krybots are robotic drones that serve as the Troobian grunt force.

Bluehead Krybot is a personal guard to Emperor Gruumm, and while more rare the the normal Krybots, they are smarter and more powerful. This Krybot usually has an army of normal Krybots at its disposal.

Orangehead Krybot is the rarest and most powerful Krybot. It has a powerful sword and attacks, the most powerful of which is the Triforce Shockwave.

The Villans of the SPD are pretty amazing !!!!

Emperor Gruumm I have a lot to say about him... I think he was awesome, his easily the best looking villain after Zedd, the fact that he was an Emperor and had is own army was awesome. However they totally messed him up, first of all where is all of the Troobian Army? I mean not once do we actually see it, he has to buy robots and his grunts from Broodwing making them not really his... Its almost as if Grumm should have been for a different series. Also for such a cool villain they make him into a wimp, that only does "Omni's" work, but more on that later. He was so bad *** until his first fight with the rangers which is about mid-season where he uses that ATV against shadow ranger and loses, the rangers easily defeated him and he had to run...He was also defeated again later before the finale, it totally took away from anyone considering him powerful. Even thought they seemed to try to intentionally make Grumm weak with no army I still really like the character.

Broodwing Another character I have mixed feelings about, I like how he has no loyalties and only does things for money and that he betrays Grumm but you know it was done poorly. He just decides at the end to conquer the earth instead of Grumm and use his robots he sold Grumm? if the entire attack force was his anyways why did he ever sell stuff to Grumm? The change made no sense and only made sense if he cared only about money. Besides that I like him but yearh...

Mora /Morgana - Another awesome villain that is totally wasted, as a little kid that draws Monsters that come to life is really cool and loved it, why did they waste it on a season that didn't really have many real monster battles and mostly used guys that had giant mecha from broodwing? ugh. Turning her into Morgana could have also been handled better and made her more of a badass. Than they did.

Omni Ok this one thing they randomly introduce through segments at the end of episodes is the leader of the whole thing yet you never really know what Omni or the "Magnificence" really is? umm ok? What a waste, he wasn't needed, it would have been better if Omni was just the weapon that Grumm built, that would have worked and not the actual leader pulling the strings with Grumm if you weren't going to show why he was the leader.


So yeah SPD had awesome villains they just seemed to all be neutered and used in the wrong season. Grumm needed to be in a season where he had his own army of aliens trying to invade. Mora should have been in a season with a leader that didn't have his own army and needed her to make monsters for her to defeat the rangers. Broodwing needed to be alone in this season and just provide robots to random criminals and not care essentially what they used them for(crimes) and not become a real bad guy until the finale when he decides to take over SPD, similar to dekaranger. And Omni needed to either be just a weapon that Grumm built or actually have an explanation of why he was the leader or deserved to have been it and not just throw him like some random brain that never did anything.
