So, I gotta ask…maybe it’s my age, but am I the only person here who has never seen a single episode of PR? Not even one.
edit: also, chubby girls can be sexy as hell.
(Good to know that there’s something else I can officially disagree with dirzzt on. That always comforts me.)
Trolololololol. I figure I’ll use embed just this once and let this speak for itself–I’ll hate myself even more later:

Hunh. That sounds like what 99% of shitty sci-fi movies ended up doing to kill the monster, so I believe you.
Link please? For those of us who are horribly lazy?
I’m guessing you mean the comics here that most people tend not to even realize came first, correct?
I have 30 mb/s dl speed goddammit why am I only getting 2 bars on netflix picture quality on my wired 360??? This is so freaking infuriating
p.s. :
ps
Spoiler
THE PORTS ARE FUCKING FORWARDED
I don’t know how old you are angryliberal but maybe. My friend on my block was absolutely in love with Power Rangers. His favorite episode was “Billy Gets a B+”. I had that tiger zord toy too. It was pretty baller.
I’m going to be 33 this year…
I’m 26, so I was exactly the right age when Power Rangers first hit. They lost me after a while though, sometime around the second movie.
please believe i wanted to take a picture of it, but there were too many people staring. i’d look like a complete cunt for doing it. even the Amtrak workers were making people get away from the windows. they didn’t say what exactly happened over the intercom. they just said “we’ve experienced an accident” and “sorry for the delays.” really only the people that saw what happened were the people in the sleeper cars. if you’d like a picture of the text logs my family and i (they told me to contact them after i left Pomona so they could be at the station on time. then i told them wtf was going on/why i was late).
as for “fibs/tall tales,” i believe you have me confused with someone that didn’t disown his own thread because **other people **were lying in it. some people use the anonymity the internet gives to lie, others use that same anonymity to tell the truth.
nah that one was KCS. we have a switch yard in our town.
he called the next day and i didn’t answer the phone. then he called my house phone the next day (it doesn’t have caller ID). i told him that he humiliated me by smashing the pager in front of everybody. he was like “i was wondering where the pager went.” apparently he blacked out and didn’t know what happened at all. i told him i didn’t feel like talking and hung up on him. haven’t talked to him since. honestly, i don’t really like hanging out with drunk people.
Y’all racist.
(Sigh. People leaving their car doors open and being surprised when they get stolen from? Dumbasses. They’re lucky to still even have cars.)
Ah, you’ve never seen PR, angryliberal? This explains why you’re not all over The Bosch.
Relatedly, am I the only one who finds it kinds of eerie that the guy who played the first black ranger seems to look exactly the same two decades later? What the fuck?
I see. That would make sense if Amtrak was keeping it from not being reported, though I suppose it could genuinely be for non-shady purposes considering I’d imagine it would probably be gory and thus more likely to be traumatic.
Not at all sure who or what you’re referencing with that “other people” thing, but your reaction is exactly why I didn’t use the word “lie” because of negative connotations it has.
I can be an utterly judgmental prick at times, but I’m generally not that judgmental about lying when it comes to activity of lying itself. What tends to gain my ire is more what’s being lied about, especially when it’s being used to cover up hypocrisy.
For the record, I count things like “personas”, like that hipster one you pulled to be “a lie”, but that’s pretty much completely harmless (outside of that Inner Semoitics thing apparently). Given how much you joke around, I’m just trying to say that it’s difficult to tell when exactly to take what you say seriously. I can generally tell now (unlike with some people still), but skepticism still forces me to double check.
You know the first black ranger is missing a finger? My friend and I noticed it when he picked up a can on the show.
His hairline is also super weird.
To be fair, once I got my Nintendo in 3rd grade, TV pretty much became nothing more than the thing I play video games on. I didn’t really start watching any TV until like 1997 when I got a GF who loved TV…so, there are tons of shows I’ve never watched.
How does Denny O’Neill pronounce it?
-Mystic Force-- this was forgettable and lame, generally speaking… but at least it had 1 or 2 decently attractive girls, if I recall. It was also one of the only seasons where the theme music was initially bad, but I grew to enjoy it.
-Ohhhh yeah, I just remembered SPD also gave us the lovely Kat Manx, and there was something powerfully sexy about that cat mutant freak. She also had a ranger form! On the negative side, SPD had one of the worst Extra Rangers of all time…that dude was such a sorry excuse, man. What kind of Extra Ranger actually gets beat up on his debut!? Get outta here with that. That dude = SLAW.
-Operation Overdrive had THE worst theme. Not only was it the worst theme music in this show’s history… it’s one of the worst tv themes I’ve ever heard, just generally speaking.
I miss the days when ABC Family wasn’t a stupid piece of shit, and they had morning cartoon + Power Ranger lineups, including the occasional marathons. See, Turbo killed PR for me…I think most of the fans still agree that it was the lowest point in the series. Years later when Wild Force was new (2002), I got caught up on all the seasons since Turbo, thanks to that network. If they’d release whole season collections on blu ray/dvd, I’d still get them. (I haven’t checked recently, but I doubt it ever happened since Disney apparently didn’t want to make money with this franchise, because they had a bad case of “fucking stupid”, I guess…) I still wouldn’t buy the Turbo set though, of course…not even for the sake of completion.
Current season has a Samurai theme, and it airs on Nickelodeon… Saturday mornings. As usual, there is definite hotness to be seen there.
Fun little tidbit-- the bad guy on Time Force is Vernon Wells… he is better-known to my generation as “Bennett” from Commando!
-speaking of pronounciations— why in the world were people continuing to say Super Mario’s name like “MERRY-O” or “Merrio”? That’s an incredibly goofy, fruity, dork-ass way to say the name, and even the character itself has pronounced it “MAH-rio” in the damn games, which should’ve set everyone straight on this issue. Even with the old cartoons…the Super Show— Captain Lou Albano said the shit correctly. It’s a little thing that has irked me for years… I’ve never even known a “Mario” that pronounces his name like “Merrio”.
Back on the PR front for a sec… there’s my honey, Ms. Kat Manx, finally getting her time to shine (sadly, she only morphed for that 1 battle): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wul9D4460wU
lol oh hell nah im not gonna be sucked into a power ranger discussion. nooooo way.
It’s his character. I’d say that makes him the authority.

Night yall.
And Rock. Last year I found out “gyro” (the food) is pronounced YEE-ROW and god dammit, I’m still going to say JYE-ROW
(I really need to start playing AH3 since I went out of my way to buy it. Didn’t think I’d be playing AE so much of all things.
I also really need to start proofreading.)
Ah, pronunciation, both something I have trouble doing at times and something I find interesting to “study” even if it often annoys me when people mispronounce things that seem “obvious” to me, as hypocritical as that seems–also, a word that I still want to spell with three "o"s. I think my annoyance largely stems from things that people mispronounce even though they should hear it “correctly” in everyday life.
For instance, Ra’s Al Ghul having multiple pronunciations sort of makes sense, even if it began in error. He’s centuries old, rather…eccentric even in his most sane appearances and no one has that name in (everyday) real life. On the other hand, people who pronounce Mario “Merrio” as Million relayed can go to Hell. For some reason, it seems like the only people I’ve ever heard pronounce it like that are people on the Eastern coast, which is weird considering how many Italians are on the Eastern coast, and some Brits, who should know better since they’re relatively close to Italy.
I just…don’t know, but “Merrio” makes me rage even though I couldn’t care less about Mario games for the most part.
These sounds like things I was vaguely familiar with.
Eh, you didn’t miss much. However, I actually don’t think The Bosch appeared until after 1997, so there is no excuse for not knowing him.
Omega?
“Z” was pretty hot. Also the Female Red Ranger on the “A” Squad
Wild Force sucked hard because of one major problem: Ricardo Medina Jr. There has never been a worst actor in the history of television. And as we can see in Power Rangers Samurai, he hasn’t improved a bit.
No shame in ignoring a creator’s decisions when those decisions are woefully ignorant.
