Power Rangers: Dino Thunder

Recommended Posts

Anyone here following Dino Thunder lately? It really is a huge season for Power Rangers with things such as having Tommy back, an episode that looked back at all the previous Power Rangers incarnations, a homage to their Sentai counterparts and even an evil White Ranger just to name a few.

 

And just last week, they had an awesome episode where Tommy (After a long Hiatus where he was "stuck" in his costume) went into a coma and in it he fought his old Zeo V, White Tiger and Green Ranger selves!

I'm a PR fan, too.

 

Fighting Spirit was awesome, and Dino Thunder, as a whole, is a lot better than NS.

Missed that ep, because my VCR sucked and got tossed out the window.

 

Anyways to sum it up for me, the Zords aren't as good as NS but the acting is better and a bit more cohesive, Elsa looks better with short hair or as Principal Randall, the Battlizer still sucks, and having "Tommy" there without actually having him there was pretty slick.

 

Oh, and NS Blue Ranger is still hotter than DT Yellow Ranger.

I haven't seen a lot of Ninja Storm, but was there always a different coin every episode they used that lock and drop thing in the Zords?

 

And yes, the NS girl is hotter, but I think that Asian pink ranger was even hotter.

Patricia Ja Lee as Cassie, the Pink Turbo/Space Ranger. Turbo was one of the worst seasons (thanks to the Wesley Crusher-like kid) story-wise, but had a good looking quartet of females - Katherine the blonde Aussie, Tanya the ebony babe, Cassie, and the partially Hispanic girl who I can't remember the name of.

 

NS used the "lock and drop" power discs to access ("download") weapons.

 

And yes, I know way more about Power Rangers than is probably healthy.

Turbo/In Space was great for the hot chick quotient. There was the villain, as well, who became leather-clad Karone in Lost Galaxy.

 

I was able to keep up with the current season early on, but lost track just before the evil ranger turned good.

Does Tommy look the same as he did back in the day? I mean, does he still have his ponytail and has his face aged much?

Well, he cut his hair which is now always spiked and he has a little goatee. It's good unintentional humour.

Dino Thunder has been great on fan service from "Legacy of Power" to "Fighting Spirit". Even "Lost and Found in Translation" was good fan service to people who follow the Sentai counterparts.

 

Now to Turbo, This is the show that got me off of PR alltogether. NS brought me back and DT just reaffirmed my love for the show.

 

As for hottest female ranger, I go with Katherine hands down. :wub: With Cassie coming in second. But I find Kira hotter than Tori,I guess because PR has never gone "Alternative" with a female ranger before.

 

And I think the actress who played Tori (Sally Martin) in the new Dell commercial with the Goth girl. I'm probably wrong but it looks like her.

 

 

Yes, I'm a nerd, why do you ask?

Time Force got me back into watching PR again. Just the thought of the leader getting abandoned and getting his ass kicked and the city taken over by the bad guys just broke down my will to resist.

 

Outside of that really crappy season after Time Force, PR has been really fucking awesome oh, and that DT episode where they watched their Japanese counterparts rocked 20 different kinds of ass.

I thought that was the girl who played Molly in Joe Schmo...

Like I said i'm probably wrong but I really don't think its Molly either.

 

They really need a site that identifies commercial actors/actresses.

Time Force was probably the only good season during the "everyone wears the same clothes all the time" era. The story was actually quite good.

 

Wild Force (the last one filmed in the US) was bad except for 3 eps: the Time Force crossover (2 pts) and Forever Red. Both of which are on the Ultimate Rangers, I think. Lameass vests instead of the Gaoranger jackets. Craptastic catchphrases ("Never geeve up!", "I'm not a kid!"). A Red Ranger who was a piss poor actor (even by Power Ranger standards). The minifro. At least the morphers were a neat idea, although the name - Growl phones - kinda negates that.

 

It makes me glad there was no crossover with Ninja Storm. Although the Japanese crossover was pretty swank.

Australia is *still* on repeats of Wild Force.

 

What's the name of the Red Ranger in that one? Whomever he is, he can't act and I fucking hate him.

 

UYI

The actor's name was Ricardo something, I think. His character was Cole Evans.

 

Wild Force's characters were hideously cut and paste. The smart Asian, the bitchy military chick, the kid out to prove himself, the strong but gentle guy (who shockingly was Hispanic instead of black) and the Tarzan boy-turned-leader.

 

Not that Lightspeed Rescue was much better, mind you.

 

I hated the Red Wild Force Ranger too. I can't believe they let him of all Red Rangers destroy Serpentra in Forever Red.

Well, it WAS during Wild Force, and let's face it, Cole needed the rub.

I caught an ep of this this year as nothing else was on lol I haven't watched this show since the original version and the first movie. I used to be into this back when I was in 6th grade and haven't watched it since like 95

 

I still have an original green ranger action figure though :)

 

I'd rather watch the original, with bad video edits and dub-over voices, funny how I didnt notice until now that it was another show edited with footage of american actors lmao

What? Power Rangers feature cut and paste characters?! HOLY SHIT!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Watched it as part of a babysitting routine a long time ago because the neighbor's kid was into it. They changed robots at some point or something, but supposedly that happens every week anymore to sell toys. Go fig.

Man, the series rocks the twenty diffent types of kickass.

 

Dont hate on Emma (Hayley on DT-Emma is her real name)- she talks to the fanbase and in a Avril type of way shes cute.

 

This series is gonna last longer than the newer shows if they keep the quality up... Everybody hates the new battleizer they have for Connor, but to be honest, A T-rex cant jump that far and you know it cant fly. Oh and it follows a pattern:

 

Andros - Flight

 

Leo - Ground

 

Carter - Flight

 

Wes- Ground

 

Cole - Flight and Ground (His battleziser was a jet)

 

(Memory is bad on the NS Red Ranger) - Flight

 

Connor - Ground

I read that there were rumours that David Yost and Amy Jo were going to make appearances on Dino Thunder. Interesting if true.

 

Yost isn't going to appear. The plan, according to the rumors I've heard was for Zeltrax (Mesagog's top underling) to turn out to be Billy but they couldn't come to terms with a contract for Yost to come back. So they aborted that whole plotline (after toying with the notion of recasting Billy) and Zeltrax became a generic character that Tommy knew from when he was working as a scientist.

That would be awesome, yet so completely wrong at the same time. I just can't buy fucking Billy as a villain... somehow it's an even bigger stretch than Tommy as a scientist/paleontologist.

They shoulda made the annoying little puke the villain. I think most people would buy that.

I haven't watched Power Rangers in god knows how long, so I gotta ask...

 

What ever happened with Bulk and Skull?

Bulk was on the Terra Venture on Lost Galaxy, and eventually came back to earth and opened a juice bar. Skull joined him on that venture.

 

And so far as I know, Paul "Bulk" Schrier is still doing some directing, but he also does computer colouring for comic book The Red Star

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,

What might be right for you, may not be right for some.

A man is born, he's a man of means.

Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

 

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.

It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.

It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

 

Everybody's got a special kind of story

Everybody finds a way to shine,

It don't matter that you got not alot

So what,

They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.

And together we'll be fine....

 

Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.

Yes it does.

It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
