Lord Zedd is scheming, and says the Sword of Power can only be summoned when all Rangers are together. Funny how this was never mentioned before, and is never brought up again after this episode. I would think something like a Sword of Power would come in handy once in a while.

Yeah and there was sort of already a Sword of Power. The Red Ranger's POWER SWORD. Even the first Megazord had one.

Could have very easily been another object of power. Maybe a pen of POWER.

I wonder if the idea was ever tossed around for Lord Zedd to get his hands on a Zord Mega.

I remember being really disappointed as a kid that the Green Ranger wasn't able to get a Thunderzord. Now I know it's because there was only five zords/mecha from Dairanger they could use, but at the time I didn't get the limitations from being so dependent on stock footage.

Although in Dairanger, the lion zord was for the Green Ranger, which explains why there are bits of green on the lion. However, it makes sense storyline wise that Green Ranger is the one left out.

"Zack, you are not nearly as popular as Tommy, the Green Ranger. He's getting the lion zord, sorry."-Zordon

Just wouldn't work I guess.

You mean a MEGAZORD.

In that case, he did have that cheap Serpenterra. It would have been cool if it could have transformed to a warrior mode though.

Yeah...cool to look at, but it always "ran out of power" before it could do anything interesting.

Largely because, in Dairanger, the thing became an ally and there wasnt a whole lot of footage that saw it destroy anything (other than that planet).

So, I've been at the gym a lot lately, and my go to thing to listen to/watch while running is Power Rangers RPM. I've got about 2 episodes left,and I really-really dig it. Its fairly dark, and the characters are generally likeable (aside from Gem and Gemma), and the villian aesthetics are pretty great.

Easily one of the best ways to spend 45 minute stretches of running/jogging.

First look at the snazzy 20th anniversary PR logo

Nick just confirmed PR is secure for a 2014 season

hopefully Super Samurai will be good...and that it won't be a copy of Shikenger

Don't count on it. Samurai is classified as a legal translation of Shinkenger, there not ALLOWED to do anything original with it outside of loop holes like clip shows. The Samurai/RPM team-up was the last thing they filmed in production order, and if that's any indication of their quality control in the second half, we're in trouble.

I'd hold more hope for the 2013 season, since it's been going through extensive rewrites.

[Hero]

How come the Kuroko are not used in PR: Samurai? They were a staple part of the Shinkenger run.

I just found out that Johnny Yong Bosch voice acted Zero in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. As a Mega Man fan and a Power Rangers Fan, I can't help but think that is freakin' awesome! I just figured I would share that.

that's pretty cool

[ZariusTwo]

A thought occured to me during Super Samurai's premiere...what if the extensive rewriting for next year basicly boils down to nothing but original fight sequences so as to avoid using any Sentai teams that never featured in the show?

God I hope it's not as cut-and-dry as that.

Missed super Samurai

[Storm Eagle]

I've been watching PR episodes on Netflix. Might anyone remember "Rangers in Reverse"? That has got to be one of the most disturbing episodes ever.

Some of you might also remember the MMPR season 3 episode "Rita's Pita". I'm surprised that Ernie would offer something called the "indigestion inducer" at his juice bar.

[ZariusTwo]

One of the biggest question marks about PR right now is whenever or not GoSeiger, the Sentai that follows Shinkenger, will be adapted next year, or if Saban will use Sentai's anniversary season Gokaiger to celebrate the 20th anniversary of PR instead.

Well, one hard-working fan has decided not to wait that long and created an awesome eight minute "dub" of Goseiger to show how it would look if it were picked up for a season of PR
