...Reallllly not liking this. PR shouldnt be copying Sentai this faithfully. Bloody Tzachor.

I thought it was said that Toei filmed a version of the Legend War for PR without the pre-Zyuranger teams. That teaser just had original Sentai footage. If the thing about the re-shot scene is true, then that's most likely what they'd use in the final product.

If that were true, then the promo is semi-false advertising and will get people's hopes up that the other Sentai teams are in it, only to dissapoint them.

They've opened Pandora's Box where this is concerned.

I hope they can at least find a way to explain them in the show.

The legend war is the best way to introduce pre-zyu teams to PR's, I don't see why fans are getting their panties in a bunch. Why can't they just be alien PR teams? We know there are rangers elsewhere in the PRU, it's really a very basic explanation that fits in one sentence and is actually very logical. To the target audience most teams outside of the recent ones are all going to be brand new to them anyway, to them Time Force rangers are just as never before seen to them as Jetman.

[ZariusTwo]

It's also occured to me that, rather than take the time and energy to find veteran actors to come back and guest star in episodes, they can just get new actors to play "veteran Rangers" we've never seen before, thus making the show a bit more cheaper to produce.

I just thought of this and I thought you guys could figure this out for me...Billy,Tommy and four others graduated. Jason was with them for that half season of Zeo through the second movie. Did he return to Angel Grove High for his final semester or did it say how his education continued? Thanks.

They never touched upon that, no.

All we know about Jason post-Zeo was he spent some free time with his aunts and then went diving with a visiting Kimberly in the movie. Next thing we know he's a chubby drifter with an attitude in "Forever Red" and he has his original powers back.

There have been several "word of god" off-screen explanations for all of this, but nothing substantial on-screen.

Also, according to original series developer/writer Tony Oliver, Spike is not Kimberly's son...whilst another member of the creative team said Kimberly married Skull a while ago, so take what you want from that.

Him spending time with his aunts is news to me though.

So, has anyone been picking up MMPR season 1-volume 1 on DVD?

I'm just going with what he says at the end of Zeo's finale "Good as Gold", where he said he would have a lot of free time to spend with 'em.

Apparently Masked Rider is coming to DVD in 2013, but that hasnt been officially confirmed yet.

I love Power Rangers; I got the first four seasons on dvd about a year ago. I watched Power Rangers Time Force for hours when I realized it was on Nicktoons. I wish they would show "IN SPACE" and "GALAXY" on Nick, I haven't seen much of either of those series for years now.

Lost Galaxy will be airing on CW's Vortexx block on Saturdays

He said "I'll have a lot more free time on his hands". He didn't say anything about his aunts. You misunderstood.

Where did you get the first four seasons on DVD? Did you import them?

One way that you can see Power Rangers in Space again for now, is if you were to get the seasons 1-7 set from Time-Life, although I'm not sure if you'd want to do that. Lost Galaxy is included in it too, but like ZariusTwo said, you'll be able to see it again on TV starting this Saturday on The Vortexx (that replaces CW4Kids).

...Ouch. I've had that firm beleif for years...always weirded me out, and it turns out I just misheard it (and KEPT mishearing it every single time I rewatched it too)

Finally got my Time Life set, and I love it! Can't wait to get started watching

By the way, the first bonus disc in the MMPR portion has an Easter egg. See if you can find it.

I'm still testing my discs to see if they work, and I watched the Alpha's Magical Christmas feature and the World Live Tour feature today. They do work, and I'll never watch either one of those again.

Alpha's Magical Christmas can't be that bad, can it?

I don't know if you've seen it or not, but that, and the World Live Tour were just too cheesy for my blood. Power Rangers is cheesy as it is anyway, but those two just don't jive well with me. I've seen AMC before when I rented it from a video store, thinking it was an actual episode, except it was direct-to-video. I still wanted to to work well on the DVD I have, just because. So I just had to test it out.

I shelled out a lot of money for this set, so I just want to make sure all the discs work. So I've been playing them in the background and listening out for skips and what not.

hmmm interesting

Some big time fanfilm creators have put their heads together and are producing a "dark and gritty" MMPR movie. Here's the teaser (which was shown at Morphicon)
