Man, Tommy's ranger history video doesn't even mention Trey was the gold ranger before and after Jason.

This DinoThunder clip show went from feel good to a salt pit as soon as Justin appeared.

Edit: Also it's weird to hear Tommy narrate events he wasn't a part of, as he tells the story of Leo doing something far more awesome than anything he's ever done.

Tommy you probably could have cut the recap after you, y'know, stopped being a Ranger.

That would defeat the point of the entire episode and make it a pretty terrible tribute.

What's the deal with the meme about "guess I better use grow / grow is useless but I haven't used it for a while" in chat?
Just some meta joking about how terrible and useless that part of the fight is.

Also we're just about halfway done with the seasons at this point, right?
Jesus whatever comes after this and SPD are honestly a blur. At some point they just say gently caress It we're keeping the same name and just adding SUPER to the title

Edit: One persistent DinoThunder rumor that was never put to rest is that Zeltrax, the murdering suit of life support armor, carrying a person from Tommy's past who is pissed that Tommy hosed him over and left him to die on the island, was originally supposed to be Billy. Its hard to miss after many episodes of Tommy going "who ARE you?" and Zeltrax going "you know drat well who I am", the mystery ends with a completely new character the audience has never met, who on several levels just screams 'Billy Placeholder Character'.

Anyway, since somebody had earlier mentioned that Tommy is almost a villain in this show, and how he's responsible for everything that went wrong, I just thought I'd reminisce about that little detail.

That was just speculation. Zeltrax was never meant to be anything other than what he was. He was never Goldar, Billy, Jason, or whomever. Doug Sloan has said as much over the years.

In regards to seasons, Dino Thunder is now the start of the back half. In regards to episodes, that point was somewhere in Ninja Storm or Wild Force (around episode 410 or so).

The most unrealistic thing in the show is in the abaranger episode, when the three of them are watching the TV, Ethan leaves for whatever which leaves a big gap on the couch between Connor and Kira, and he a teenage boy watching TV late at night alone with a cute teenage girl makes no attempt to scoot in next to her.

Why the hell would Tommy and Mercer create a dinosaur that could mind control people?

That way he could never be mind controlled by evil again, because his good dinosaur would mind control him to be good. Or imagine if they could have just mind controlled Master Vile with their good dinosaur.

I think this was the plot of that Disney movie the Good Dinosaur.

this got me thinking about how american sentai fans must've reacted to this episode when this aired(probably joylessly) and then that got me thinking how dreadful the fansub scene must've been back in the early '00s, i don't think even tv-nihon was a thing yet

The most bizarre part to me is that it's essentially the episode, just dubbed and Americanized. That's it. No plot changes, maybe some cut scenes that are inconsequential, but otherwise, it's the whole episode.

I think Lost and Found in Translation would have been better received if they had just omitted the "What would Japan know about Power Rangers?" line. That one in particular stands out to me above even Connor being salty about Sentai

He wanted to fly back to the US to visit family so they did this. Once they eventually get him out of it he's stuck being invisible for a while after that.

Man that must have been a sweet contract. A whole season where they only use your voice and you get to go off and do whatever while also being the main pull for the series.

He would later repay this by poo poo talking Disney and saying they added nothing of worth to the franchise.

This was around the time he was jockeying to come back in Megaforce and they weren't sending invitations to Disney season actors.

Here's hoping that the 25th or 30th Season/Anniversary isn't such a complete shitshow like Megaforce.

I wonder if they'll make it to 1000 EPs. It would be about nine or ten more seasons given their current 20 EPs a season.

Yeah but once Nickelodeon gets tired of it where will it go? Kids networks seem to cancel shows, even successful well liked ones, to make room for new ones on a whim.
