He is also gay and people behind the scenes were completely brutal to him about it. He did not have a good time on the show.

quote:

Yost moved to California with hopes of becoming an actor,[citation needed] and won the part of Billy Cranston (Blue Power Ranger) in the television series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers three months after arriving. He starred in almost 200 episodes of the show's first four seasons. He was the only cast member to appear in every single episode of the original series; his character never changed his colors or passed on his power coins to successors like the rest of the original cast.[citation needed] Yost's most high-profile work was his appearance in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995),[1] which took in over $60 million at the box office. The film served as a non-canonical alternate opening for the third season.

After the show ended and Power Rangers Zeo began in the fourth season, Yost stayed on as Billy, but Billy's role within the show changed. Instead of his previous role as a Power Ranger, he became a technical advisor to the others. When asked about the change in a 2010 interview, Yost was evasive about how he'd personally felt about this but said he understood why the production team did it; he stated that Haim Saban was interested in the cast turnover of Super Sentai and believes that this was part of it.[2] Yost left the show toward the end of the Power Rangers Zeo season. His character's final episode employed footage from previous episodes and voice work from an uncredited actor to conceal the fact that Yost was not present during the taping.[citation needed] A tribute to his character was seen in the closing credits of this episode.

While it was originally believed that he had left the series due to insufficient pay, Yost later revealed in a 2010 interview that he left because he could no longer handle harassment by members of the production crew who targeted him over his sexual orientation. According to Yost, he was often called a "human being", and the producers frequently questioned other cast members in private about his sexuality. Yost left late in the fourth season after a week of contemplation and thoughts of suicide instead of continuing work another six months into the second film. He stated that the co-workers involved with writing, filming, and producing the show considered him "not worthy" to be where he was and that he "could not be a superhero" because of his homosexuality.[3][4]

Scott Page-Pagter, a producer of the show starting with Power Rangers Zeo,[5] responded through TMZ that Yost actually left over a pay bonus being dropped but did not elaborate further or dispute any of Yost's claims about the outside reasons for leaving the show. Saban Entertainment made no official statement regarding the subject.[6] After Yost left the show, he attempted to change his sexual orientation with conversion therapy for two years. Eventually, he had a nervous breakdown that resulted in his psychiatric hospitalization for five weeks. After he checked out, he moved to Mexico for a year and eventually accepted his sexuality.[4]

TLDR: he became the longest-running power ranger even though the show was run by homophobes, and they ended his run by doing a textbook Poochie move. He seems to be doing OK now.

And supposedly each Ranger was offered a million dollars to do the movie, but Saban squashed that because he thought they wouldn’t come back to the show after making that much money.

I always love the trope of spellcasters calling out the spell name + level when casting it.

Its like announcing your special attack, but somehow dumber :allears:

Deep down, maybe we all are. Maybe there is no actual difference between the two spells after all.

He's a centaur, which is a monstrous humaniod. Charm person only works on humaniods.

What makes a man? Is it being at least half a man coming out of half a horse? Or the nature of their very soul?...

Still less confusing than the discovery a Displacer Beast does not count as a magical beast anymore.

In R.A. Lafferty's Past Master, St. Thomas More is brought forward in time to a planet that humanity has colonized, and meets an alien that sort of resembles a sea lion. Since it's conscious and and capable of speech and moral decisions, he has no trouble at all recognizing it as human.
