#Power Rangers Spoilers

My local network habitually aired Power Rangers episodes all out of order when I was a kid – we were lucky if both parts of a two-parter ended up airing consecutively, much less anything further-reaching – so I always had a fuzzy idea of how some of the plot points lined up.
For example, I didn't realise until just now that the gag where Bulk and Skull got turned into chimpanzees wasn't a one-off thing? Apparently they just stayed that way for the next fifteen episodes, and continued to serve as the show's comic relief B-plot in spite of being monkeys, voice-acted Garfield style by their regular human actors?
Now I'm wondering what else the out-of-order airing made me fail to connect the dots for.

"Even with your brain exposed like that, you still remember me. Impressive."
DAMN, BILLY.
Billy had decades to craft that absolute burn.

I think one of the moments that really got me in that opening sequence of the OG team staring all shellshocked about Trini's death was Kimberly falling to her knees behind the others.
Like, it's a little detail, but to me it really emphasized the attention to detail that went into this special, where even if they didn't have Amy Jo Johnson there to play Kimberly, they still acknowledged that Trini was her best friend by her having that beat that didn't require Kimberly to say a word (at least from the audience's perspective), show that, even if the characters could only be there as played by stand-ins, there was still this acknowledgement of how they felt about the death of Trini.
I've seen things that claim to be a love letter or Valentine to the fans before and honestly end up missing the mark by continents (Star Trek Enterprise's "These are the Voyagers" comes to mind immediately, to say nothing of the hash that Mega Force ended up being made into...). Once and Always actually lived up to that.

"Amelia is the first full series female red ranger" her series is 10 fucking episodes and she only becomes red in the end of episode 3. Also Mick is also there being a red ranger, and so is Zayto and the red Morphing Master at the start. Not to mention that to do that they demoted a black man.
Let's not give them too much credit.

I was wondering how Trini was going to factor into the new Power Ranger special, especially considering her daughter is going to be a major player in this. But I thought she would have just retired, and not fucking killed in the thing. what the fuck.

PR: Once & Always Thoughts
spoilers under the cut
I think the writing was smart in regards to the continuity. A lot of the times in the main show, they try to bend over backwards justifying villains coming back when they should have been destroyed by the Z Wave. Having Rita not actually be Rita but the particles of her evil from the Z Wave taking control of one of the Alphas was pretty clever imho.
also rip alpha 5 idk if that’s alpha 5 or not but rip anyway
Not sure how I feel about Zack being a politician....I know the Peace Conference was a thing, but I just never saw him as a senator. A diplomat and liaison for another country maybe, but not a senator or congressman...
Billy not being on Aquatar and having a tech company on Earth is great. It’s so nice to see David Yost back after all these years and I welcome it so much. It’s what my king deserves!
I think Minh is a good addition to the cast and her arc about revenge vs justice is such a good message for kids. I hope I can see more of her in the mainline series
BARBARA GOODSON SLAAAAAYED AS RITA AS ALWAYS! BOW DOWN TO THE EMPRESS BITCHES!
Also always great to see Rocky, Kat, Aisha, and Adam. Aisha and Adam working for what will be SPD is pretty cool to me ngl
Bulk and Skull weren’t there but they had that small cameo so beggars can’t be choosers I guess...
Yeah, so I was wondering how they would justify no Jason, Tommy, or Kim but it was pretty simple...turn them into action figures!
AND WHAT THE FUCK RITA EVEN WENT AFTER OTHER RANGERS! (pause in the middle of that scene and see who you can identify lmao)
As a PR fan I adore the cheesiness with the jokes. I even adored the callbacks to silly ideas and phrases they had (”too much pink energy is dangerous”; the hiphopkido; etc)
Above all, I loved that this was a tribute to Thuy Trang. Because of her death, her character was often ignored and I’m sure they had no idea of how to properly honor her character. This warmed my heart so much and it really does show what it means to have a legacy.
AFTER 30 YEARS IT WAS SO NICE TO SEE THE OG MEGAZORD AGAIN! I would have loved to see all the Rangers get into their Zord and make their quips again, but on the other hand, it wouldn’t have been the same without Kim and Jason so I’m okay with skipping it
OH FUCK THAT ENDING THAT FUCKING ENDING I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN’T CRY BUT THE CLIP OF THE OG GANG AT THE JUICE BAR WITH KIM SINGING AND THEN THE IN LOVING MEMORY OF THUY AND JDF JUST FUCKING HAS ME SOBBING LIKE A FUCKING BITCH I FUCKING MISS THEM SO MUCH
Overall, while I have some minor nitpicks, it’s just stuff that was out of the production’s control. Would I have liked some things to be different? Absolutely. But this was such a good anniversary special and really respected the original MMPR. I do recommend watching it if you’re a fan of the show, at least to see Walter and David reprise their roles and becoming fine leaders

!!DINO FURY SPOILERS!!
This is pure speculation on my part but I have some thoughts
SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Tumblr media
I’m just thinking about this tweet because in one of the episode descriptions it says the rangers have to make a big sacrifice in order to save the world.
What I’m thinking will happen is that Zayto sacrifices himself to defeat the Sporix but, in typical PR fashion, he is revived and therefore becomes this new white ranger.
If the rumours are true that “Cosmic Fury” will be a continuation of Dino Fury, which I suspect it could well be, then who will be the red ranger? I guess Zayto could become the red ranger again but that might defeat the purpose of the new white ranger suit.
Also if they’re using Kiramager footage then presumably Izzy will continue as the green ranger so they’ll have to find a way to deal with the whole skirt issue lol
Sorry this is kind of incoherent but I’m interested to hear what others think?

it took me 5 hours to finish a 1 hour special because brain but here’s my thought sequence/what my brain was doing during the mmpr once and always special:
ok walter’s acting in this...god so good, that first scene with him when they’re trying to decide how to tell minh 
just that scene where minh learns her mom died god i wanna die
flying car <3
“we all know that if it wasn’t for you, my mom would still be here” oof if you hear a big crack in the distance that’s just my heart snapping
“oh that stung huh? good.” oh minh my sweet daughter :( but also get him again
why does alpha not look like a Robot? why is there a leather suit what is That
alpha telling zack that life must be difficult raising a teenager with attitude referring to minh :’) that’s his daughter so true
billy being the one to create robo-rita ohhhh noooooooo
love billy and zack but where are my other children (rocky and kat and adam and aisha)
WAIT THERE THEY AREEEEEEEEEE
simultaneously calling rocky and kat my children while at the same time going “mother” upon seeing katherine hillard on my screen
the seratonin rush i got seeing the og-esque morphing sequence
“different red, different pink, same powers” YEAHHHHHHHH
ADAM AND AISHAAAAAAAAAAA
they’re in a different galaxy????
wait i forget what SPA actually was did they make adam and aisha space cops????
me knowing fully that this is an mmpr special and not a zeo special: where is tanya
minh fighting the putties with a mop ohhh i love her
i’m also loving the unmorphed fight scenes feels good feels organic
“are you break-dance fighting?” yeah <3
ooooh billy and minh tension oooooh
“my sensors are detecting a vibe” sdgfjdkghhskhdkhf i’m going to start using this
acting wise walter is killing it goddamn
“it was worth giving up your career in congress for me?” “you are absolutely worth it” sobs loudly their relationship is so so precious (also brings me back to why i’ve always had a special place in my heart for power rangers, bc at its core it’s about friendship and love and goodness)
oooh kat gets to operate a crane
Big Magnet to trap the monsters hehehe i love power rangers
rocky and kat high five <3
honestly loving the dynamic of the grown adult rangers with a whole teenager now on their hands. like that used to be You
gdkjfhafahakgdh not minh yeeting out of the command center with the little stealth thing and taking back the morpher 
wait how old is minh and does she have a license? honestly the idea of her being younger than 16 and just driving the car max mayfield-style is funnier to me anyway flying car
her driving over the putties and delightfully going “what a mess”. for the 469375th time that is my daughter
i hope george and his unnamed boyfriend have a nice day :’)
“if i can’t morph then i’ll take you down the old-fashioned way” and doing the praying mantis pose like YEAHHH
let my daughter go!!!!
i can’t get used to the slow mo shots for some reason
“what a waste. trini died for you and now you’ll share her fate” no i don’t want it
AND THEN MINH TAKES THE SHOT FOR BILLY THE WAY TRINI DID NOOOOOOOOOO
omg minh being down like that with billy holding her hand and zack holding her head with tears in his eyes noooooooooo
and then rita going “that’s what being selfless gets you” NOOOOOOOO
wait we don’t get any more adam and aisha? boooooo
zack and adam hugging and then aisha telling minh that the legacy is in good hands :’)
aw all the second gen rangers together
that last scene between billy and minh is so precious

Took suggestions for the color wheel challenge over on twitter. It was super fun! Would love to do it again, either over on twitter or maybe here on the ol' blog. :D (Not sure when, but. Someday! XD )

Jane and JBorg still actively giving news about what's going on on Earth while Zedd is invading reminds me of a comment I once made about the weatherfolks who work at the Weather Channel and are often the ones reporting LIVE when hurricanes are happening. (That they are braver than any Marine).
Jane and JBorg may not be Power Rangers but they have the spirit of them.
May the Power protect them.
Also, Zedd's putting people in prisons for resisting. Fuuuck.

I'm still trying to get my mind around the concept of "Senator Zack Taylor."
Mostly because it's hard to picture Mister Hip Hop Kido, life of the party, in the stuffy suits of government.
