Do you know which episode has the Bison Slash technique used by the Black Ranger with the Black Bison Axe and the Tiger Thrust technique used by the White Ranger with the White Tiger Baton? No. Because if I did remember that episode, I probably have mentioned it only happening in the Sentai series, Gaoranger. But not in Wild Force, unless it's American footages.

Looks like thanks to the spoilers from "The Morphin master" episode to the finale thanks to zarius, another assessment I made long ago proved me to be right again, the unnecessary return of Lord Zedd. He was a truly pointless recurring character which, thanks to spoilers, after his arrest by the Morphin masters, he never returns or is brought up ever again for the remainder of Dino Fury season 2. I said he was only brought back for pathetic pandering and MMPR nostalgia and I was right. He played NO crucial part in the story to the point that it would fall apart without him. Think logically, if you remove Lord Zedd and replace him with, let's say, Eras from Ryusoulger, would it be any different? Zedd's role could have easily been filled by either Eras from Ryusoulger, or Boomtower or Shipwreck, or they could have done what Beast Morphers did and turned one of the MOTW into a recurring character like Vargile. The only unique thing he did was remind everyone that he's from Mighty Morphin, the season that these people keep milking ad nauseam for over a decade. These writers are so creatively inept, they truly think dangling the keys is a good substitute for good, creative writing. Eras....oh yeah, the supposed "main villain" of Ryuusoulger. Yeah, I forgot she even existed until you brought up her name. At least Lord Zedd is more memorable than her. Hell, even Walz Gil and Basco from Gokaiger were more memorable villains than Eras. Enter and Escape from Go-Busters are more memorable than Eras. Baron F@#$'n Neros from from Toqger is more memorable than Eras. Again..... BARON NEROS IS MORE MEMORABLE THAN ERAS!!! And they just re-used his suit for Cosmo Royale in Ninja Steel. Also, Lord Zedd was in season two of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Yeah, I'm surprised that a lot of people don't seemed to talk a lot about season two of MMPR, nowadays. It's either season one or three because of the Alien Rangers mini-series. But anyways, if they had brought back let's say, Imperius from Mystic Force, or Zeltrax from Dino Thunder, or Thrax from Operation Overdrive in Dino Fury...would you care for any of these guys?! Like seriously, name one person that you know in real-life who actually cares about Thrax from Operation Overdrive.

It's not for defend Tzachor, but the "New Powers" teams, could just work like "they were Rangers from other planets/galaxies, that never were in Earth". Alien Rangers and Andros and Zhane are Rangers from other planets, and their powers never came from Earth. PROBABLY A LINE OR TWO could work. Sure, it's kinda lazy not to explain "every single team" the Super Megaforce did use. But the vagueness of the teams lead to out imagination. Teams that probably died in combat? And now, they are part of Phantom Ranger, who's imbodement of the dead Rangers, like Judd Lynn used to said? Looks great. The Morphing Masters are a bad narrative tool. Sure, it tries to explain the relations to Super Megaforce teams, to the resurrection of Kendrix, to every power used, to plot holes from Ninja Steel....it's really contrived and bad. It's like to retcon the Force, and now you say there is Gods-like creature that lives inside the Force, with consiousness, and they have the decision of everything in the Star Wars Universe. It's really bad. Yeah, it wouldn't hurt if they actually put in some damn effort explaining where the pre-Zyuranger Sentai suits come from in the Power Rangers universe and why nobody has ever heard about them until now. But saying that one of the Morphing Masters gave the Megaforce team those "new powers never before seen on Earth" without any real explanation is just dumb. And now they're trying to say that one of them was responsible for all the other stuff that happened in previous seasons of Power Rangers when he or she could have prevented other events that happened in the past seasons or just not interfere at all. Yeah, that's just bad writing gone worse. *sigh!* God, I hope that they don't do something like this in Cosmic Fury, next year. Because the last thing that I need, right now, is another version of Kamen Rider Ghost or another version of Power Rangers Operation Overdrive or another version of Power Rangers Turbo or another remake of Kamen Rider Wizard or Kamen Rider Zi-O in secret, for that matter.

In other words..... "stop buying all the bull$@#% coming from the media and wait for any official documentations or actual words from either sides from THEIR side of the story.

I don't understand what's Tzachor trash comparing with the Morphing Masters. I have several issues since their apparition in comics. I think it's the biggest mistake of this season, and create a whole can of worms that, it could be a disaster..... I think you need to ask yourself why the writers would even bothered trying to explain where one of Jonathan Tzachor's laziest ideas would even come from in the Power Rangers universe when the Boom! Studios comic books already did a better explaining what became of those supposed ranger teams in the past. Them trying to say "A Wizard did it!" is just making the situation even worse because now one of them Morphin Masters is a legitimate deus-ex-machina no jitsu in the show. In other words...Power Rangers Dino Fury is now officially the U.S. remake of Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger. And the Dino Fury team are now the replacement American counterparts of the main heroes of Zyuranger because they are now fueled by " Deus-ex-machina no jitsu!!!"

If they did made a second season, it's more than likely that Adness Entertainment would have adapted Kamen Rider Blade into the U.S, first. Before adapting other Kamen Rider shows. Depending on how many riders the show has and how many toys they can sell into the U.S. Then again, Hasbro could acquire the licensing rights to adapt Kamen Rider into the U.S. if they wanted to. Although, it would be more likely that they would rather adapt ond of the more recent Kamen Rider shows into the U.S. and then go back and adapt another show that is up-to-date with today's technology and that the quality of the stock footage with look good to translate, etc.

Never understimate the stupidity of a toy company. Super Megaforce never adressed the "pirate motif" of Gokaiger...because they believe it's gonna be a bad example for kids. Like if ninjas, historically a group of spies or stealth assassins, could not be a bad example for kids..... And does that same stupidity also applies to the toy company not knowing what a praying mantis and a rhinoceros-horned beetle is supposed to look like in Beast Morphers? Or whatever type of bull#$% that makes them think that kids are stupid nowadays?!

Personally, I thought Sakura was a terrible character who took way too much focus away from other characters and ruined Aguilera's arc. I don't like her at all. So, in terms of writing. Which of these two characters are the worst? Aliko from Kamen Rider W or Sakura from Kamen Rider Revice?

Revice is odd. Some people defended as "it's about family and friends" and "not every series has to end with a final battle with a villian". I kinda agree, but, I don't think it's representative as a Kamen Rider series. In fact, it's more Super Sentai than KR, in a sense. Gosh, the main criticism of Saber is people saying it was "too much like a Sentai" (or the CGI was bad). The other thing is very bland in stories, probably Geoge has the best development. But, I dunno. I didn't care a lot about the relationship between Ikki and Vice. It was OK. What about Sakura? Did she had any development in her character or none?

Now, for the multi-billion dollar question. Aside from Katherine who was in "Dimensions in Danger" as the Pink Turbo Ranger (even though she still has her old Zeo Morpher and could have come back as Zeo Ranger I), what other character from Turbo besides Tommy and Justin, do you want to see come back for a future team-up/crossover event? And please don't say, "Elgar" because nobody else likes him. Not even Karone liked him when she was Astronema.

Originally I was going for post this thread on the Lightspeed Rescue Season Discussion thread, but, I figured. "SCREW IT!!" So, this would be the final comparison between Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V and Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue as I talk about the respective team-up. But, I don't think I should. Mirai Sentai Timeranger VS GoGo-V is from my perspective on the GoGo-V's side their final chapter since Pierre was the soul survivor of the Saima Clan and well, I guess was okay. The individual interactions between the respective blues, pinks, yellows and greens are interesting. But the reds, not so much. It's only downside is the final mech battle with how they brought back Victory Robo. And to quote a certain clip from another parody..." That's not how time traveling works!!" And the Time Robo can only summon its' sword through its' chest plate. Nothing else. Although I'm still confused as to why Yuuri (Time Pink), Ayase (Time Blue), Shion (Time Green) and Domon (Tme Yellow) don't have a clue who the GoGo-V were when they are supposed to be time-traveling police officers from the 30th century. Well, cadets to be more precise. But still, they should have had information on who these were before they chased after the Londarz Family into the year, 2000. Was all the data, documents and records from the events of GoGo-V suddenly erased or lost or something? Overall, this was just a "meh!" Crossover. Power Rangers Time Force's "Time For Lighspeed" by contrast, is a bit fast-paced. It that's all I could say about it. At least with the expression of the Time Force Rangers, including Trip (Time Force Green Ranger) indicates that they already know who the Lightspeed Rangers. So there's a plus. My guess is that they either did their research on the past or they already know of them, but never actually met them before, especially with how Carter Grayson introduced himself, so there's that. No giant mech battle, but that's okay. Vypra's acting in the episode did get better, but not by much. Her death scene in the episode could have been better but that's just it. So, I guess that is about it. Not a whole lot of difference if you'd ask me.
What do we think?

Passing the Torch was a replacement story created following a behind-the-scenes shakeup in which Ann Austen and Doug Sloan, the writers/showrunners of Turbo, left and a completely new set of writers, led by Judd "Chip" Lynn, came in and decided to go in a new direction, which is why the hints about Dimitria and Divatox being sisters went nowhere and why there was not a more overt and direct payoff to the Millennium Message storyline (Passing the Torch does serve as payoff, but only subtly and indirectly). Honey, I Shrunk the Rangers was also a replacement story that came about because of the shakeup. Alright, that makes sense. At least in Carranger, the revelation of Zonette being Radietta's sister was a bit more subtle.

I'm watching Turbo right now and I have so many questions. I'm enjoying the season overall; it's far more goofy than Zeo which I didn't find all that interesting. . Why did the writers/producers decide to get rid of Alpha 5 and Zordon? . What was the meaning behind the sand timer during the Power Transfer? . Did anyone else feel that the Power Transfer episode felt rushed, especially towards the end. There wasn't much explanation about why the first time gave up their powers. It also would have been nice to see them reveal their identities to the new team. . I'm assuming the first time gave up their powers to go to college/pursue their careers etc. . It also felt like Tommy was barely in the show un-morphed. . Does anyone have any data on the ratings and whether they increased/declined after they replaced the cast? I'd love to know everyone's thoughts. 1) They feel that Zordon and Alpha 5 were getting too stale and boring as characters?! 2) They didn't really give us any real explanations as to why they did the whole "sands of time" shtick during the episode, "Passing the Torch." It's just that Jason David Frank wanted to leave the show. So, the producers felt that maybe it's best to find some replacements halfway through the show and just get rid of the old cast members, except for Justin. Yeah, I don't get why they still need Justin around throughout the remainder of the show since he didn't draw any numbers from younger viewers who were still watching this season at the time. The other four new characters; TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie are okay. But, they REEEAAAALLLY should have introduced them as new characters much earlier in the show. 3) I think the reason why they did the power transfer in such as rushed way is because like I said before. Jason David Frank wanted to leave the show, so maybe it was wise at the time to get rid of the rest of the old cast members and replace them with new characters. Now, if I were to do a remake of Power Rangers Turbo, what I would do is this.... Introduce Dimitria in "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie as a new entity instead of Larigot and have her be an ally of Zordon because her sister, Divatox has attacked their home planet of Inquiris and is now the new empress of that planet forcing Dimitria into exile. While, that's going on, I would cut to the end of the Zeo Rangers' graduation ceremony where they've already gotten their diplomas, say goodbye to Ms. Applebee, Principal Kaplan and Ernie and Jaskn and Kimberly who are attending as guests for the ceremony and we would cut to Kimberly apologizing to Tommy for sending him that Dear John letter in Zeo and hope that they have no hard feelings. Tommy accepts Kim's apology and she wishes him and Katherine the best of luck in the future. Now in the Command center, Zordon and Alpha-5 would get a message from Dimitria, the Rangers including Jason and Kimberly would be teleported there. The rangers would be aware of Dimitria's cry for help, morph into Zeo and Jason and Kimberly would still have their old power moprphers as the original Dino Morphers and Power Coins weren't destroyed in the beginning of MMPR season three's "Ninja Quest," but were damaged through a power surge. The Rangers would fight the Piranha-trons and are outnumbered, but the Zeo rangers are feeling the effects of Zeo Crystal's energy being depleted because of their battles with the Machine Empire in Zeo and they would have to create new powers. But Zordon and Dimitria felt that maybe it's time to start fresh and they will need new Rangers to carry on the work for our heroes. Enter TJ, Cassie, Carlos and Ashley. But, they need a candidate to the new blue ranger. Now, I would prefer to have introduce Justin as an actual 14 year-old kid since his actor should be a real-life teenager. Kind of like how Joseph Gordon-Levitt was introduced in the first season of 3rd Rock from the Sun. He was 15 years-old when he did the first. So technically, he was an actual teenager throughout the first season's TV run in 1995. We gotta keep the whole "Teenagers With Attitude" idea going. Now little kids as Power Rangers. The Zeo Rangers, Jason and Kimberly would create the Turbo Zords and Morphers for our new team, they would act as mentors. The new Turbo rangers will act as protectors and bodyguards for Dimitria. They would fight off Divatox's forces causing her to summon Maligore, who my version is not her fiance. But rather, her first monster for the movie to prove himself worthy for her affections and would eventually become her husband to unite both of their kingdoms for political gain, etc. Once he defeats the Power Rangers. So yeah, the roles would be in reverse. Maligore should be the one asking for Divatox's hand in marriage and he should be the one to fight for her affections if her were to rule the galaxy by her side. Divatox would reject the proposal but, she would reconsider once Maligore has accomplished his mission and successfully defeated the Power Rangers and killed Dimitria. The Turbo Rangers would fight off Maligore and a small army of Piranha-trons with their new powers. Turbo Megazord debut brawl, Divatox gets pissed that her sister is still alive and is now setting her site to conquer Earth. Dimitria is thankful for the Turbo Rangers' help and would like to serve as their new mentor in order to defeat Divatox and they would agree but not before saying goodbye to the Zeo Rangers and company and would drive off into the sunset as a new chapter begins for our new heroes and we get a post-credit scene of the Turbo Rangers and Dimitria begin constructing their own version of the Power Chamber and their own personal robot companion, Alpha-6. And that's about it. The rest of Turbo's season would be different with the new cast members being part of the first and second half in that direction. Instead of only the second half. Now, I don't know about the data of what the TV ratings for Power Rangers Turbo were. But, I think the show's IMDB page may have a clue on what the individual ratings and total scores were like back in 1997. As for Turbo being more "goofier" than Zeo?! Yeah, clearly you have not seen the Super Sentai shows that Zeo and Turbo were adapting from; Choriki Sentai Ohranger and Gekisou Sentai Carranger. And I will tell you this. Ohranger's tone is really confusing. But Carranger's tone is beyond goofy. Check them out if you haven't seen them yet. You'll get what I mean.

"Parrot?!" You mean like, mimic?! Although, in this case, I'm more of paraphrasing what Linkara said as opposed to just copying or imitating with what he's saying.
