I love the idea of a man binging through 50 episodes of a Japanese toy commercial because it's literally his job, his face growing grimmer by the hour as he slowly realizes that they spaceships aren't going to go to space and the timeships aren't going to travel through time.

Or the second space show has absolutely nothing to do with space.

I saw a picture of him holding his old White Ranger helmet too, so maybe he'll trot out all 5 of his Ranger power sets.

He said on his facebook that he is doing cameos as both the Green and White rangers. The other three though I have my doubts.

It is still better then what they had for when they filmed Mighty Morphin. This one at least looks solid.

the Turbo powers run off the Zeo crystals

I don't think that is right. During "Chase into Space" when Eltar was being attacked Justin said that that was the source of the Turbo powers.

Are they seriously planning to put the Megaforce rangers in the Gokaiger's civilian outfits? That's not quite stupid enough to wrap back around to awesome.

No, it is just a photoshop. The Troy with Marvelous' body has been around for a while. They just stuck the poster part on since the poster was recently reveled.

Well, Kim hosed off to France to study ballet and live with her mom and step-dad who was an evil french cat monster with a beret and baguette, I think.

I think.

Nope, it was to Florida to train for some global gymnast thing. Though her mom did move to France and it was a plot for all of one episode on if she would have to go and give up her Ranger power. It was of course resolved with Aisha's family let Kim stay with them for all of a few months before running off to Florida and completely ruining her motivation for staying in the first place.

You... you looked that up on RangerWiki, right?

Nope, I never saw the original airing so my exposure to this plot was recently with the DVDs. I was pissed off that Kim was so worried about have to move and give up being a ranger, then she just blows off all the sacrifices made for her to stay to go gently caress off to Florida.

actually I just have that much random Ranger knowledge in my head

The best thing about his Ninja Storm videos wasn't even "why are the ninjas doing ninja things?", but his complete inability to understand young adults being into motocross.

I thought his rant was about the logistics of how a "high school" student is able to afford and maintain an active hobby like participating in motocross that is very expensive. though I suppose having a job at a place that supports that kind of hobby helps.

I also broke down and bought a TOQ brace and TOQ-oh

I have seriously been :spergin:-mad about this since Wild Force, dead certain for years that the Zeo Crystal was just shoved into being the power source for the Turbo stuff. Now you come here, on this day, and you tell me my laser-focused rage has been for naught?

Curses.

The finale of Turbo had Justin point out that Eltar was the source of their power. When that fell, so did the Turbo powers.

Ken actually used a pair of Knuckle Braces to transform as well. The SaiBlade was just his personal weapon. The only Gekiranger with a unique morpher was Gou, with his GongChanger or whatever it was called.

I never watched Jungle Fury, so I don't know if they randomly decided the killy-fist-thing was a changer or not.

No Ken used the the Saiblade to morph. The knuckle braces were used basically as hammerspace to store all there suits and weapons.

I get the hate with TVN, but I have a problem with AEsir's Gaim sub, mostly how they are translating the Professor's name.

They translate his last name to Warring instead of keeping it Sengoku. I can get translating the Driver name and then doing the same to his to keep it consistent for the plot but most of the time and and watching and it just irritates me they translated his name.

I wish I could track down a Dekaranger morpher for less than $100.

Are any of you guys going to Morphicon by any chance? My girlfriend is, and the guest list includes Austin St. John, Anna Hutchison (Lily from Jungle Fury), and David de Lateur (RJ from Jungle Fury) will be there and the current Megaforce/Super Megaforce team. I wanna say Walter Jones might be going as well, but I'd have to double check. Basically I am gonna end up giving her a bunch of cash to get autographs since I can't take off work to go out to LA.

I'm going. I'm registered as Platinum

He was in full make up and costume all three days. "No Clowning Around" was one of the episodes that was part of the initial VHS releases of the show plus most of later VHS releases of the show so the episode was oen of my favorites as a kid. It was awesome to actually meet the guy.
