Power Rangers Episode 500 Title and Premise

[ZariusTwo]

First of all, I am NOT creating this thread so that Power Rangers dissers can say they hate the show, if they have nothing good to say, stay the hell out of it

Well folks, Power Rangers will hit it's 500th episode with the fourth episode of the Twelfth Season "Power Rangers Dino Thunder", which features three new Rangers battling the forces of Messagog with the aid of thier mentor, former Power Ranger Tommy.

Episode 500 is called "Legacy of Power" and will be a clip show that will set up Tommy becoming the Black Dino Power Ranger.

At first, I was furious Doug Sloan was taking the "easy way out" and doing a clip show, but then, I hav'nt seen the episode yet, so I can't judge, however, Power Rangers fans will find out how good it is when the fourth episode arrives on ABC Family in three weeks.

Is this show still called Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers? I haven't seen it in like.. 7 years.

[Mars-Chan]

:D That he does...that he does.

[Anarky]

Hmmm,. i'll prolly see it in 2150

well, tell me how it was, ok?

[The Clerk]

.... the first season was great.... Kimberely was hot :wink:

And young Thomas was awesome... only as the green ranger, i didn't like the talking sword while he was the white ranger...

[Taloniss]

I'm looking forward to Dino Thunder, since Tommy owned all. I stopped watching for a few years, but I've always liked PR. I hope it comes on a channel I get up here.

[Iron Bison]

Hey ZariusTwo, don't worry bro, I got your back.

Power Rangers is still cool after all these years (except for Lost Galaxy) and I still love it, I don't care if people know I like, it's whatever floats your boat, man.

[ZariusTwo]

Lost Galaxy is my favourate season, what was wrong with it?

Do NOT post in this thread again if you just plan on Trash talking the Power Rangers, if you do I hope you'll enjoy being "Just another victim" of krang's "Warning Gun"

[ZariusTwo]

Thanks Grungor, hold those suckas down :lol:

DINO THUNDER IS THIS WEEKEND, WOO-HOO!

[Mars-Chan]

Yay....I get to relive the old days of my youth...by jumping off the couch like a dork trying to mimic the highkicks.... :lol: :D

[Iron Bison]

ZariusTwo, I just don't like Lost Galaxy, I myself thought it was kinda weak and I wasn't a fan of the suits.

[damnhooligan]

I'm just amazed this show (or any show for that matter) has survived 12 seasons and about 10 different reincarnations of itself. Tommy coming back is uber-cool though. Short of Trini (as bland a character as she was, I just couldn't dig on characters who ran around in pink), Tommy was the coolest o' the bunch. Quite unfortunately, Trini (Thuy Trang) died in a car accident in 2001.

Viva la Tommy.

[Mars-Chan]

Viva la Tommy.
*raises a Tommy banner* VIVA! VIVA!!!

[That Matt Guy]

Short of Trini (as bland a character as she was, I just couldn't dig on characters who ran around in pink)

She ran around in yellow. Kimberly was the pink one.

[MTN889]

Do they still have the puttys

[ZariusTwo]

Do they still have the puttys

Power Rangers stopped using the Puttys in Season Three

The following is a list of the troops used in Power Rangers:

Seasons 1-2: The Putties

Season 3: The Tenga

Season Four: The Cogs

Season Five: The Piranatrons

Season Six: The Quantrons

Season Seven: The Stingwingers and The Swabbies

Season Eight: The Battlings

Season Nine: The Cyclobots

Season Ten: The Putrids

Season Eleven: The Kelzacks

[Mars-Chan]

The puttys were so easy to take care of though...
One kick and---boom!---they were gone.

Ah...memories.... :lol: :P

The first season Putties were a lot harder, Lord Zedd's Putties were the ones that fell apart with one kick to the "Z" on their chests...

...god, he was supposed to be better than Rita :roll:

[Anarky]

a short question? which series was the worst and which ranger did you hate most? and why?

Thing is, i want to see all past episodes and i need some warnings...

[damnhooligan]

She ran around in yellow. Kimberly was the pink one.

Clarification: I dug Trini merely because she wasn't 'the pink one', and probably for no other reason.

1. Stay away from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: It is the worst season PERIOD, the characters are wussies, and are portrayed by crappy actors

2. The worst Rangers are

1.Justin from "Power Rangers Turbo" (which itself is a bad series, until after 19 episodes, then it becomes better), you know let a child become a Ranger, especially if he can't act.


2. Carter from "Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue"

Apparently “Legacy of Power” might be a 2 parter, taking up 500 and 501. I know some fans have felt it's disappointing that other cast members aren't coming back, but in a way Tommy IS the 500th surprise. It's just that we've known about it so long (via an unintentional slip) that the excitement has started to fade and we wanted something even bigger.


1. Stay away from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: It is the worst season PERIOD, the characters are wussies, and are portrayed by crappy actors


I agree completely. I will always hate Lightspeed for being the season that "broke continuity". From MMPR-Space every season flowed. Lost Galaxy had enough in there to know you watching the same show (Bulk, Alpha, Megaship, Karone) but Lightspeed just disowned the first 7 seasons. Obviously there was some continuity with the LG teamup (which itself was awful) but that really wasn't enough. :roll:
Also the fact that they made their identities public was an insult to the very premise of Power Rangers. In every season prior to and since then the "secret identities" theme has been maintained. Lightspeed got rid of that as a cheap gimmick. Well I could spew out more reasons such as the bad cast, but basically Lightspeed is the season best avoided although as with any show there are hardcores who think it's the best thing to ever.

Speaking of the best I'd recommend MMPR, Zeo, Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force. The seasons that are generally disliked the most are Turbo, Lightspeed, Wild Force and Ninja Storm (although I liked personally liked Turbo and thought Wild Force/Ninja Storm were okay.)

[Bowser_Koopa]

stay away from alien power rangers...i always hated those, you could watch power rangers in space, it was awesome, my second favorite pr's almost the fav, and NOT because the tmnt were there just in case, its just that it was very cool. i didn't like lost galaxy much either, but maybe it was the costume design, but it could also have been the red ranger, didn't like him :roll: , i kinda liked the bull ranger :lol:

[Taloniss]

I also hate Lightspeed Rescue. An abomination if you ask me. I like MMPR, Zeo and Lost Galaxy.

[Mars-Chan]

*puttykick*
OOH! I sense a new trend!! :lol: :tlol:


IT'S LORD ZEDD PUTTY KICKING TIME!!! *puttykick puttykick puttykick*

[Anarky]

what was wrong with lightspeed? you mentionned somethings but i you made it kinda cryptical so i don't get it... :goofygri:

[Taloniss]

ABC FAMILY

ONE HOUR PREMIERE, "DAY OF THE DINO"

[Mars-Chan]

SWEET!!! *runs to go mark it on the calander*

[GK Punk]

Wow, the show just started and I'm already in love with the girl with the guitar. (Curly hair, pretty eyes and she plays guitar. That's the woman of my dreams)

So we got Tommy, and a Hot chick.

BEST SEASON EVER. :D

[That Matt Guy]

Tommy is the woman of my dreams.

Wait...

[GK Punk]

Yeah, that spikey hair really does it for me.

....

Ya know what, let's pretend we never get on to this subject, Matthew.

[Anarky]

Matt, there's definitely something odd about you :D

GK: give us a pic!

[Mars-Chan]

*Ahem*


I LOVE THE NEW LOOK OF TOMMY!!!! :D

Anyone got a pic of that?

[Jason]

I loved the Dino Thunder premiere it was so cool. It's been years since I've walked away from a PR Season opener being so happy, the last few years it's been a major disappointment.

Good Stuff:
The rangers are rebels who hate each other, total opposite of the MMPR "A-Graders who are all best friends" story. The rivalry made them seem like real people.
The action scenes were great especially the wirework. Most of it was American/Kiwi.
The American made Tyranodrones look so much better then the Abaranger Triptoids.
Mesogog was a cool looking intimidating villain as was Elsa.
There were past references linking continuity with the original season by mentioning "Angel Grove" and linking to last season by referencing Lothor. Proving all 12 seasons are in the same continuity.
Cassidy and Devin were hilarious, it was so funny seeing her suck up Tommy. Some people have described them as "Bulk and Skull: The Next Generation" I don't know if I'd go that far but they were great and didn't appear to be forced.
Tommy getting chased by the T-Rex was cool.
The Zord scene blew me away. The CGI Dino Zords rampaging through the city was great and the Megazord scene filmed at night looked so amazing especially when it drilled a hole right into that giant ship.

Bad Stuff:
The theme song broke the tradition of the first 11 seasons by being the first not to use the word "Go". :cry:
The Zord taming scene was rushed.

Other than those minor things it was all cool. I really do think DinoThunder is best thing to happen to PR in a long time. The budget definitely looks higher then what we've seen in the last few years. I know a lot of PR fans who think the shows gone down over the few years, but this has blew nearly every PR fan away. DinoThunder fixes the mistakes of Ninja Storm (good rangers but too much goofiness) and Wild Force (useless rangers ruining a good story). Not to disrespect WF and NS they both had their moments but with DinoThunder it looks like Power Rangers is once again back to being truly amazing. This only the beginning, the 500th episode nostalgia fest is just around the corner...

*faints*

[Voltron]

She ran around in yellow. Kimberly was the pink one.

*puttykick*


Trini was hot, too. She had the heeled boots... :goofygri:

[That Matt Guy]

Tommy was hotter.

[Mars-Chan]

*raises her eyes up over her glasses* Is...that supposed to be a joke, Matt?

[That Matt Guy]

Come on, every man alive wants to be Tommy.

[GK Punk]

I will second that

[Mars-Chan]

So, no one has a pic of Tommy and his new look?

[Anarky]

well, that's the best i could come up with...

This is from "Forever Red", but he looks the same.

[Voltron]

Hot damn that looks cool...

And yes, Tommy is every man's wet dream. Why I remember...

[Mars-Chan]

Um...picture has the dreaded red "X".....

[That Matt Guy]

[Mars-Chan]

Um...nope. File 404.

[That Matt Guy]

It should show up now.

[Mars-Chan]

Yep...it does....

*prints it out and adds to her other Tommy picture*

[Taloniss]

Just saw Day of the Dino part 1 and 2, and I must say, this is shaping up to be the best season of PR in a long time. The writing was good, the zords looked sweet, and the fight scenes were well done.

[Dr. Doom]

Bah-hahaha, he's like their science teacher, that's great...hoo-boy....ahem........ -=glares at them all condescendingly=-
