And of course the final thing that ruins the base: a detonator that triggers on pressing a button instead of any fancy timers.

For Power Rangers... this is kinda hosed up.

yeah even for someone jaded to the whole 'oh final episodes of a toku show, time for the constantly foiled villains to actually start being competent' i'm kinda impressed with how ballsy they went here

and of course the reason the rangers couldn't fend off the initial attack is because divatox actually brought all her mooks at once and outnumbered them

I was checking in periodically and only caught the final bit where they was fighting in the base and the base being blown the gently caress up, I missed the lead up to that. So yay, competency.

I'm on my way out the door for work, and that means I'm gonna miss the Psycho Rangers arc, which makes me very sad.

Edit: Fun detail in that for the first episode they still list Divatox as the villain in the opening credits.

Basically, Zordon gave NASADA the specs for "their" shuttle, knowing Rangers fleeing Earth would need it to turn the Space Rangers ship into a Zord.

Zordon doesn't gently caress around.

E: christ, the Space uniforms would be visually perfect without those squares on the chest.

Ok, that's what, 4 or 5 different back-up plans Zordon had in case poo poo went horribly wrong and the rangers lost their power yet again? That's honestly impressive.

Agreed on the space uniforms.

Zordon puts on a brave face, but he's a dude with major paranoia issues. There's always something worse out there, and you better have a plan to cut and run.

Before she became a nurse at Sacred Heart, Laverne operated a food joint for Power Rangers.

Oh, and some trivia about the actor who played Professor Phenomenous: whenever he got sick of working, he'd play up the tired-old-man act to get sent home, then walk out, light a cigar, and drive away calling the on set director a putz.

To be fair there was a little bit of a space element in Megaranger (such as all their mecha being based on space craft) but aside from occasionally fighting in orbit and going to the moon once they never actually left Earth.
