But yeah, fire away.

Was there no Astronema at all in this episode or did LW edit her scene out?

If she is in it she was only as a tag at the end, she had nothing to do with the episodes plot and didn't do anything in that episode

Astronema represents the rangers' willingness to sleep as thousands of Craterites descend from orbit upon Angel Grove.

I can't imagine how the hell you'd justify to yourself creating a laser that turns things evil. What in the world would make you think this is a good idea?

It could also turns things good though, that could've made for an episode too! Too bad that's not quite as fun I guess.

Then again, the evil laser was used to turn a giant robot evil and not, you know, the Rangers. Which would've been a lot more useful.

The best Phenomenus story is about his actor.

According to Narvy, he'd go up to the director of the day, hand-wringing, and ask if he could leave a few hours early. He's an old man, he's tired, etc. They'd obviously say yes, because who is going to tell an old man no?

The dude would immediately hop into his caddy, pop a stogie in his mouth, and peel off, calling whoever who'd listen a putz.

Carlos in Turbo is terrible, but I thought In Space made him a bit more grounded if not totally relatable. Even if only because the Sentai footage made him important.

"Oh, great, we're going into literal space! It's groady to admit, but hey, outside of some guys she considers friends and friends alone, it's space. Any aliens she meets won't be even close to as attractive as me!"

"Wait why does this man look like a dainty Legolas?"

e: my favorite Carlos moment is when hes being blackmailed by that kid, and eventually has a breakdown over it and just snaps at the kid's supposed 'one last thing'. I know we're supposed to think hes being a dick (what with the whole actually dead brother with actual use of the term dead and honest to loving god GRAVESTONE), but in that singular moment, I am with him.

I don't care if it's a lawn cutting, eventually you have to nip that poo poo (you know, including blackmailing someone in the bud. "One Last Thing" is never the last thing.

I love how Ecliptor keeps trying to tell Astronema how much of a poo poo Darkonda is, but literally can't because the answer is "the dude gave me Baby You like 20 or so years ago, which even I think makes you a poo poo guy".

e: I do not believe "launch your teammate at the basket" is a valid move. Would've gotten a lot more championships had MJ or Lebron been hoisted.

e2: I really hope squibs are super painless effects that aren't extremely unhealthy to put on a dude wearing a plastic helmet.

The GGPR annual wasn’t bad. Unsurprising my Machine Empire prediction never delivered, although Goldar on multiple occasions shouting that Rita shouldn’t allow her war to be upended by a ‘stupid machine’ echoes of Zedd’s revenge quest against Mondo.

I went to RangerStop Atlanta and finally met JDF. Con was tiny (this was the first year they did it here) but I think turnout was fairly decent? I’d guess less than 1000 people showed up. Awesome toy get was SPD Omega Ranger morpher which...doesn’t work. I have the worst luck with SPD morphers. I bought a regular SPD morpher at Morphicon and that one didn’t work, either.

In all seriousness he did strongly imply that Master Morphers are coming and I will happily give Hasbro my money. He also strongly implied that his daughter will be a Ranger at some point, but he has been adamant about that for a while. He says he is building relationships with Hasbro. I don’t think he has the clout with them that he did with Saban and Bandai.

Yes it is a deep hole. Stuff looks really, really good afterwards. So much detail is on the figured you don't see.

Timeskip to sometime after The Power Transfer but before The Wedding.
Team cohesion is poo poo. The remaining three rangers miss the original lineup. The Stone Canyon trio are beginning to resent their ranger elders because they’re being blamed for every simulated battle going wrong.
Alpha gives Tommy some lip service about how the team’s performance as a unit isn’t as important now because of how the white ranger can save the day all by himself. Tommy notices that he feels basically invincible now but stays awake 24 hours a day. Zordon concurs that being white ranger is a bumpy road that unintended consequences like that is part of the gig. Tommy is also taking over Jason’s sensei duties at the Youth Center because “if Jason did it, so can I” and is clearly stressed out in his last scene. The remaining original Rangers kind of resent the departed going to a peace conference of all things in the middle of fighting an interplanetary war.
Zedd realizes he’s become trapped in the same cycle of losing that defined Rita. Instead of making another monster, he appears to buy some bounty hunters (not Varox or a group from any TV episode I’ve seen, but I haven’t seen them all) to find a prisoner that he can enlist. Zedd’s new ally is from the same species as Commander Krueger of SPD.
Jason/Zack/Trini never made it to the peace conference, and are somewhere far from Earth wearing new original ranger suits.


An alright issue even if the commentary about new characters not getting any respect was so squarely aimed at the fandom that the characters may as well have been addressing the reader.
