Power Rangers 500th episode thoughts/article

Did anyone here catch the 500th episode of Power Rangers that aired over the weekend ? In this special episode Tommy was captured so the other rangers hack into his PC and find out about the past rangers from the first episode of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers right through the 12 seasons up to DinoThunder. It was a great way of showing continuity and nostalgia and it's cool that the new rangers are aware of their origins.

The start of the episode had the following message:

- this alone blew me away.

And throughout the episode we seen all 5 original rangers, Tommy as the Green Ranger, 'Tommy and Kimberly', Zordon and Alpha, Rita and Zedd, Tommy as the White ranger and so much more nostalgia from every season.

They missed out some stuff such as the Alien Rangers, Zordon's death and Forever Red but other than that it was a cool 500th. Next week's episode "Black in Black" is a continuation where Tommy reignites his past and becomes a Power Ranger once again.

"Aren't you a little old for this ?" - One of the villains actually says that to Tommy in promo

, just before he whips out his morpher.

Also check out this article from the New York Times which mentions PR's 500th:

It's nice to see they are acknowledging us older fans who've stuck by the series from day one and that the media are finally starting to give the show the respect it deserves.
