exactly that'd be awesome right, then those of us who've never seen this before (this guy) can finally experience it

This is about the re-shoot with the movie thing.

Spoiler:

Maybe someone close to Kimberly died which is why she became edgy? Or maybe it has something to do with Jason's mistake.

Anyways I finally am on Zeo. I just watched part 1 and that villain switch was quick. I'm really interested in seeing what happens in this. I like the music too. I heard Jason returns with the 6th Zeo crystal and becomes Black Ranger? If its true then I'm glad he's coming back. He was awesome.

Gold actually, and what you heard is not quite accurate, but I won't spoil 'cause you sound invested.

And yeah, I always called bulls*it on how quickly they dumped Zedd and Rita for the Machine Empire, but fortunatly it's not the last we see of them this season

[Allio]

to be fair, he is technically a black ranger. It's like calling Green ranger "Gold" because of his chest plate.

The villain switch in Turbo was the one that made no sense to me.

Spoiler:

Lord Zedd blew up The Machine Empire thus could retake the castle on the moon and begin attacking Earth once more. Yet the group went on vacation?

Why did you think it was BS?

I remember reading about how Robert Axelrod couldn't be around to voice Lord Zedd for Turbo and that's why Rita and Zedd weren't in it full time.

[thundermaster612]

Wait! Zedd returns in Turbo?! I guess I will watch it. My original intentions were I was gonna watch the Turbo movie and I was still debating on watching the series. Guess I will now. Plus I do wanna finish the Zordon Era

He makes a cameo in the Turbo movie. He doesnt make a full on series return until In Space.

I wouldn't watch it just for Zedd since he pretty much goes off the radar. I stopped watching three episodes into In Space and looked up his character summary and it was all I needed.

When does the Boom! solicits for January come out? I am eager to see if this arc is going to end in #10.

Just three episodes, actually.

It won't. There will be an 11th issue, and it comes out in January of next year. Issue 8 comes out on October 26th, the 9th on November 23rd, and the 10th in December.

[MikeandRaph87]

I found covers for 10 and 11, but no solicits.

Might you mean the variant covers?

I was invested in Zedd and Rita being a force to be reckoned with at the time, and suddenly they become comedy jobbers to the Sentai footage.

Wasn't he arrested for DUI or something?

What happened in between Zeo and Turbo is pretty much the reason we got the backstory for "Forever Red" several years later

Comedy jobbers to the Sentai footage? What does that mean?

You say you thought Zedd and Rita were a force to be reckoned with, but I didn't have a problem with there being a faction superior to them. I kind of took that as a lesson teaching that you shouldn't mess with others, for there's always someone who can kick your ass as well.

What I saw mentioned was that he was locked up for drug possession. Then again, it was Commander Crayfish who said that. Now I'm rather hesitant to take pretty much anything he has said as fact, as a lot of the things he has stated have proven to be false.

ROFL...ah yes, Crayfish (and Sirstack) were essentially the Dave Meltzers of their day. They could say any old thing and they'd have the fans believe them a couple of time.

I haven't seen Crayfish since he was temp banned from Rangercrew in 2014 for bullying other members. Didn't he say he was dying once?

I went to Power Rangers wiki site which had the covers released for #8-11 and a release date for 8. On Comicbookresources I found #8 and #9's summary(solicit). Anything beyond a single image of #10 and #11 is not out there from what i can find.

Well at least SirStack still seems too have some credibility. It's too bad the two aren't friends anymore though.

I never saw Crayfish publicly say he was dying, but someone else told me that. If that's true, then I hope that's not the reason why he hasn't been seen lately.

What did you mean about Rita and Zedd being comedy jobbers though?

Thanks for clearing up solicits for me. This is what I've seen:

Issue #10: Special standalone issue featuring guest artist Jon Lam! As someone who tends to shy away from conflict and confrontation, Billy feels like the least likely candidate to protect Earth. When he first receives his Power Coin, he’s constantly afraid of not being prepared, and it’ll take a carefully strategized battle and the support of his friends to feel like a true member of the team.

Issue #11: Billy and Tommy are left powerless and trapped in a strange new world. Jason and the rest of the team must do all they can to track down their missing friends and bring Zordon back.

I didn't know they'd fallen out. What was that about?

It's just one minute they've blown up the Command Centre and gotten the Zeo Crystal, next thing you know, just because they have all this new villain footage from Ohranger to burn through they have to elbow them out of the picture with considerable ease. I get what you mean by "no matter how good you think you are, there's always someone better than you", but I at least wanted the Rangers to kick their asses first before moving on to the Machines.

At least later on in the season they managed to get some measure of payback with Louie Kaboom and the purse monster

No,problem. Thank you as well. Do you think #11 is continuing from #9 similar to how #4 left us hanging,but a standalone with Zack's temptation sandwiched in between?

I love the idea of Tommy and Billy being paired up in #11. Despite serving together the longest they really were just two people a part of the same group and not much more. Billy helped Tommy after Kimberly's sudden break up letter,but never were all the to her captured or something and it was up to the two of them or any type of plot that had the two of them focused on together.

I remember reading Crayfish/Funaro mentioning more than once that he was battling a deadly illness in his usual I can be an as-hole way. I kind of miss him since he had interesting insights even if I disagreed with a lot of what he said and he was extremely rude. I can see how many things he said were made up but for the most part I believed most of the things he said which were not fun things but maybe that's what made them believable. I spent a lot of fun times in the ranger fandom in both rangerboard and later rangercrew but I kind of fell out of the franchise after Saban acquired it again and when I've tried to come back I just haven't been able to integrate myself again.
