If they bring back Skull they'd have to bring back Kimberly since Skull and Kimberly were married as of Forever Red.

*Hero* · 09-01-2010, 04:15 AM

Married? I dont remember that?

Forever Red's continuity is a little questionable, since Bulk and Skull were united again, gave the impression they knew Tommy was a Ranger and Bulk somehow hitchhiking home from the Terra Venture.

Either way, Bulk and Skull were the dynamic. Why bring back just 50% of that? It did'nt work before, even with the Proffessor guy as a stand in.

Well the scene was cut out of the episode but according to the script Skull reveals that he's now married to Kimberly. *lol*

*Hero* · 09-01-2010, 11:28 AM

Out of curiosity, I looked that up and according to the PR wiki page the marraige idea was dropped from an early draft of the script.

Kimberly Skullovich has a nice ring to it though

Found this on the heropower livejournal today.

Looks like Shinkenger is being 'altered' for the 2011 series.

Interesting! It seems that the theme for the new series will be Samurai. Power Rangers Samurai is expected to last for at least TWO seasons!

Quote:

A new generation of Power Rangers must master the mystical and ancient Samurai Symbols of Power which give them control over the elements of Fire, Water, Sky, Forest, and Earth. Under the guidance of their all-knowing mentor and the aid of their devoted animal Zords, they battle the dark forces of the Netherworld and a mysterious Warrior bent on destruction.

Forest?! Shouldn't that be wood?! The elements are Fire, Water, Sky, Earth and Wood not WoodS

Powerrangers.com gives partial bios on the new guys:

Red Ranger is named Jayden. His element is fire and has the lion zord. Yeah he's the leader. Also, he's cute.

Yellow Ranger is named Emily. She is described as sweet and innocent and the youngest. Her element is Earth and has the Ape zord.

Green Ranger is named Mike and is described as "creative, loves video games, and is a bit of a rebel". His element is Forest (haha...get it? He's green and his element is the forest?) and has the bear zord.

Pink Ranger is named Mia. Described as the big sister of the group. Her element is Sky and her zord is....a turtle... a pink turtle.... ô,0

Blue Ranger is named Kevin. He "lives by the code of the Samurai". His element is water and has a dragon zord.

I'm not surprised this was removed from the script. It seems like a terrible idea. I don't care how much Bulk and Skull grew as people during power rangers, I could never see either of them ending up with Kimberly.

Mind you, PRS will have 40 episodes total. So with the way Nickelodeon airs shows, that could mean 20 episodes next year, and then 20 more the following year.

A large reason why that line was written was to pay homage to all the instances Skull crushed on Kimberly and was rejected by her. Indeed there's one episode where they finally DID dance out of a "pity the dear" kind of deal

Still, just because it didnt make air doesnt mean it doesnt count. There's a whole backstorey on Thrax that never made air during the "Once A Ranger" crossover

I see they have loosely based the 'rangers' on the original Shinkenger counterparts. I wonder if the same will be for the gold 'ranger'.

Selfishly, I'm not completely hot on Shinkenger being 'pillaged and plundered' into a Power Rangers show, but my curiosity is hooked. And I think I've said before, we'll get decent toys out of it. Fact is, it's happening and I'll give it a chance. Best of all, the kids will get to experience Shinkenger or presumably the cherry-picked best elements of it.

I hope the origami/zords will also interact with the cast, because that was half thier appeal.

Compensating?

*Hero* · 10-21-2010, 11:42 AM

That's obviously a fanmade trailer with Shinkenger footage and Ninja Storm music. Nice try though.

Right. Wait until a REAL promo comes out. THEN wake me up.

*XERO* · 10-21-2010, 06:52 PM

I've been watching like a megaload of Power Rangers: Ninja Storm on YouTube lately.

I dunno, I guess I'm just rediscovering them again. I haven't watched since SPD ended.

*Brodie* · 10-21-2010, 08:18 PM

Those helmets are ****ing terrible. Have I said that before?

I'm saying it again. Terrible.

You didnt miss much, the series went downhill after SPD for several years before rebounding with RPM.

*Hero* · 10-23-2010, 11:53 AM

I have SPD on boxset. Best £7 I ever spend on DVDs.

*Brodie* · 10-23-2010, 04:57 PM

I did the same, love Amazon-uk. It goes well with my first 5 seasons. Now if I could find Rangers in Space that cheap...
