roadie, we know that our taste > theirs. Let's leave it at that.

Some of my fave Space moments:
- Astronema impersonating Yellow Ranger
- Carlos injuring Cassie in battle
- The Andros vs Astronema fights
- The Psycho Ranger eps, esp. when Cassie was being tracked and needed to stay quiet
- Countdown to Destruction
- Big black woman (Adele?) declaring she's the Pink Ranger

Only eps I disliked were Justin's return and the Ninja Turtles...I actually watched that TMNT show but that was so out of place.



My personal rankings:
...even though I only watched periodically after Lost Galaxy

1) Space - I loved Astronema, Andros, Ashley, Cassie, the Psychos, and the concept of all the previous baddies getting together.
2) MMPR 1 - Looking back, this only ranks high because of the nostalgia. IMO it had the best morphing sequence...short, simple, but brilliant. None of the later fancier sequences have been as memorable. Yup, this would not hold up to kids' standards today. I showed some MMPR eps to my 7-10 year old cousins and they didn't like it. :(
3) MMPR 3 - Well, I like ninjas, and I was really into the Alien Rangers mini-series and the quest for the Zeo crystals. I was so disappointed when Aisha didn't come back.
4) Lost Galaxy - Great cast. Great character and story development. Great villain. I especially love the return of the Psychos and Karone, Kendrix's death, and the finale.
5) Mystic Force (so far) - I've already expressed my love for this cast minus Nick. I love the theme, the villains, the unconventional zords, even Clare...I usually hate the comic relief characters.
6) Time Force - Once again, great cast and story. I found them all distinctly interesting. Having a tough-as-nails pink ranger as leader was nice to see. But of course, Red was still always in the middle and got all the extra weapons/armor...go figure. I wish I had seen the whole season.
7) MMPR 2 - I didn't like Rocky, Adam, and Aisha at first. Se-be-too-tay-ga? Thanks for ruining it, Aisha. Zedd didn't measure up to Rita.
8) Zeo - Something seemed off with this. I missed the pre-morphed putty fights (or with whatever footsoldiers of the season). I did like how the new series per season was finally adapted. Saban could only milk the Zyuranger costumes for so long; I guess having to film their own fight scenes became tiring.
9) Ninja Storm - I thought I'd like the ninja theme, but the annoying yellow ranger dude, the hamster, and the evil bimbo nieces killed it for me.
10) Wild Force - I kinda liked Taylor and Alyssa, but this season had a really dumb red ranger, and the other two guys were just as bad. Yellow should have stayed leader. Too many zords. Princess Shayla was annoying. OMG, Toxica has got to be the cheesiest henchwoman, and that chant was the cheesiest monster growing ritual ever.
11) Turbo - Justin...'nuff said for the low ranking. However, I liked Divatox, and I wish the whole Dimitria was her sister thing was cleared up.
12) Lightspeed Rescue - Horrible cast who seemed like a much duller version of Lost Galaxy. The black cowboy dude was awful. As a fan of yellow rangers, Kelsey was the worst. This season turned me off from Power Rangers. I liked Vypra though.

I can't really judge Dino Thunder and SPD since I only saw the season openers. I would have watched the rest, but I used to work Sat mornings. How were those seasons anyway? Dino Thunder seemed to have another generic boring red ranger, but the return of Tommy seemed cool. I thought SPD kinda looked promising. I liked Green. I liked Yellow's duplication powers and her fight with Pink. Oh, and I read about the A-Squad Rangers (Space Rangers ripoff) who turned evil and how they had a female red ranger.



I'm behind with Mystic Force episodes here in Canookia :( or at least with the ABC channel where I watch it. I still haven't even seen Stranger Within Part 1.

Have you seen the episode "Forever Red"? It was on during Wild Force...they brought together 10 previous Red Rangers to destroy the last of the Machine Empire. Good times.

Machine Empire? It was just the Astralborgs and the Green Beetleborg.





Gadf1y! I watched most of Bioman a while ago. You pinoys were lucky. Yellow 4 getting killed was tragic. With her bitchiness, she was a true pioneer...the first female yellow ranger, so she didn't have the 'gentle female' stereotype that was imposed on pink rangers. The special effects seemed advanced for the time. I liked the fight scenes much better than MMPR, since they put in super jumping and flying attacks...or whatever they were.

I like dramatic ranger deaths. There should be more...like I wouldn't mind getting a new red ranger in Mystic Force. Too bad it might only happen if an actor leaves. Kendrix was killed off because she was diagnosed with some disease, I think.
