Power Rangers Lost Galaxy Discussion

From the Command Center, Episode 10. Welcome

to a collaboration between the pop culture network

and the geek cast radio network It's from the

command center the podcast episode 10, of course

I'm Scottie cash and joining me from the geek

cast radio network is my boy TFG one Mike Hello,

there we go What's going on? Oh not much This

this intro for episode 10 is is pretty much all

Power Rangers talk It's it's no matting collector

rants or anything like that. You know that company

sucks All right, so after last month after we

finished the in space record I I could we completely

spaced on a lot of stuff The one thing I wanted

to bring up that we didn't really was the whole

relationship between Andros and Ashley. I thought

that was really well done, but it didn't really

go anywhere. It was like, will they, won't they?

And it was finally to the point where, oh, they're

going to hold hands or, oh, they're going to

kiss and whatever else, but it didn't really

go anywhere. I did like that as a part of the

overall story of space. uh... but our body from

the pc informs chaotic said posted in the from

the command center announcement thread that i

have going over there as far as um... thoughts

on last uh... what last episode great episode

guys love hearing my thoughts at the end thanks

for including them uh... scotty rpm doesn't get

good at the middle it's awesome from the beginning

You must have been doing something wrong. I'm

sure you'll wise up when you're rewatching and

see how amazing it is or at the very least you

and Mike can correct you on how amazing it is

during the discussion in form of heated argument.

Well, I have never seen RPM. I've heard tons

of good things about it. So I don't know. I'm

waiting until we get there. Right. Well, I do

what I remember from RPM is being excited for

it, even though it was going to be cars and stuff.

And I was like, you know, lame because I don't

like I don't want to see car power rangers or

spaceship spaceship power rangers because I want

to see animals or dinosaurs. Well, when I started

watching RPM from the get go, it was it was cool.

I liked the Rangers. I liked the Black Ranger.

You know, I liked how they had the numbers. I

liked how his car was different. He was kind

of an outcast. And then they got the goofy, goofy

green ranger. That was kind of like even worse,

Billy. You know how when Billy first came around,

he was like accidentally kicking people's butts.

Yeah. This is how the green guy is constantly.

And I'm just like, oh, this is stupid. Oh my

god. So I stopped watching it. But I will definitely

give it another shot when it comes time. That's

hilarious. Also, a couple of quick bits of knowledge

for your informing pleasure. Number one, the

reason Zane disappeared randomly to help the

colony and didn't appear often is because his

sentai counterpart didn't appear that often either.

He only appeared in 21 out of the 51 Mega Ranger

episodes. Due to problems staying transformed

due to prototype... Changer his responsibilities

as an i -net chief and other associated hijinks

the silver ranger did originate In mega ranger

the show in space was based on he was not from

another sentai season Was that your rpm I guess

all right rpm go. Yes Number two number two and

we and chaotic's and I have already have already

discussed this but number two is Ron Wasserman,

the original PR theme composer, left after In

Space and was replaced by other artists for every

season after that until he returned in Power

Rangers SPD. His awesome theme song is one of

the reasons why I love SPD so much. He was originally

planned to provide the theme for Power Rangers

Mystic Force as well, but after Disney changed

their mind on what kind of theme they wanted,

a rap theme instead of a rock theme, and Ron

put his Mystic Force demos, both original rock

version and the theme and the rap version he

created, after Disney suggested changing the

style, up for free download on his site. He was

replaced. Ron didn't return for Mystic Force,

Overdrive, or any season after that. Believe

me, if he did return for Overdrive, the theme

song wouldn't be as horrible as it is. Just wait

till you hear it. Simply put, blah. Or which

one? For the Mystic Force? No, Overdrive. Overdrive.

Yeah, Overdrive. Uh, looking forward to - Wait,

that's the next one, right? No. No, no, no. Overdrive.

overdrive was in between mystic force and rpm

oh man now i gotta look at the schedule because

i don't want people trying to correct me on this

uh open documents this is an edit point for myself

because no one wants to hear this bullshit um

schedule of episodes it goes uh yeah overdrive

was in between mystic force and jungle fury it

goes spd mystic force overdrive jungle fury rpm

then samurai so spd is next no what's next after

lost galaxy yeah light speed rescue oh god no

light speed light speed rescue is pretty good

all right Looking forward to the Lost Galaxy

discussion, though personally I'm counting the

episodes until SPD and RPM discussions. I can't

friggin' wait to discuss those. Keep up the more

phenomenal work. So thank you to Chaotix, and

Chaotix will have his own thoughts on Lost Galaxy

at the end of the podcast as well. We also have

new, more positive iTunes reviews from people.

My buddy Super Tim, Tim Costello on January 7th,

2012, go to Power Rangers podcast. Love the podcast,

I love the banter between the hosts and it's

very funny. One of my favorite segments is the

Sentai segment where we learn the Sentai with

the accompanying Power Rangers series, always

informative. This podcast always makes me nostalgic

for the good old days when I watched Power Rangers

all the time. So thank you for that Tim the second

one is from Suzuki 2099 don't know who that is

Tim's review was a five these are all five -star

reviews Basically says best Power Rangers podcast.

I have found listening to Scottie and TFJ Mike

Transports me back to my childhood keep it up

guys, and don't let the haters bug you the final

one is from six Syxxx TF2 and Mike and Scotty

Cash bring down the house I love this podcast.

It's one of my favorite podcasts. Don't let the

haters bug you guys are great. Just a tidbit

some FYI Serena Vincent who played Maya the yellow

lost galaxy ranger also the same girl who played

the nude foreign exchange girl and not another

teen movie Keep up the good work Yeah, I'm gonna

have to go back and watch another teen movie

It's funny. Yeah. So it's been about a month

since you and I talked. What have you been up

to really quickly before we actually get into

the show? Not really nothing. You know, to be

honest with you, been nothing sports. That's

about it. I've been playing basketball, trying

to get in shape. I got some stuff coming up that

I needed to be in shape for. So I can run something

like that. Something like that. Maybe I'll have

an announcement next month. All right, cool.

So we are going to get into the Lost Galaxy.

Yeah, buddy. Alright ladies and gentlemen so

Lost Galaxy technically it's the um it's the

fifth series overall uh I absolutely love I love

this show watching it when it came out it was

very unique very interesting I put on my my personal

Facebook fan page TFD1Mike on on Facebook I basically

said at the time I had said uh in space reminded

me of Star Trek The Next Generation because of

they're on the megaship and it kind of looks

like the Enterprise bridges a little bit. And

I said Lost Galaxy was kind of like Deep Space

Nine because Deep Space Nine was, they were out,

they weren't like really near anything, like

they weren't near Earth or anything like that.

They were out in the middle of nowhere in space.

It was like a floating Atlantis. Yes, yes, exactly.

uh... i am going to read some of this verbatim

because i want to make sure i get it right uh...

power rangers lost galaxy uh... as i said the

fifth television series in seventh season of

power rangers franchise that aired in nineteen

ninety nine featured familiar elements from previous

incarnations is based on the japanese super sentai

television series senjuu sentai giga -mon jinja

-mon i don't know It's a gingerbread man. Like

its predecessor, the original theme of Sentai's

source, i .e. the forest, was not used. This

is the first Power Rangers series to not be a

continuation of the previous series, with its

own new cast and story, with the annual suit

change that began with Power Rangers Zeo. and

the annual cast and story change starting with

this series and the first series to follow the

practice set by Super Sentai series. However,

Zordon is believed to be the source of the Galaxy

Power Rangers powers, in addition to Paul Scherer

and Jack Banning reprising their roles as Bulk

and Professor Phenomenous. respectively. Alpha

Six and the Astro -Megaship were used again and

Melody Perkins reprised her role as Caron three

-quarters of the way through the series and became

the Pink Ranger. Originally Cassie Chan was supposed

to absorb the Pink Lost Galaxy Ranger powers,

but actress Patricia Jolly decided to quit after

a dispute with the show's producers. This is

also the first season to have sentient Zords

and feature the death of a Power Ranger in battle,

though Kendrick's would obviously be revived

in the finale. Thus, the Lost Galaxy season serves

as something of a transitional series and also

a unique one in Power Rangers history. It is

neither a completely self -contained nor direct

continuation, but a bit of both. The seasons

would not begin to have a completely independent

stories until the following series, Light Speed

Rescue. Season's main villain, villain Chikina,

played by Amy Miller, has also been praised for

the character's dark development, more unique

for Power Rangers. Uh, one of the things that

I am so glad this never happened, according to

trademark documents, the original title for the

series was slated to be Power Rangers Space Jungle.

Lost Galaxy sounds so much better. Space Jungle,

huh? Yeah. Who dropped the ball on that one?

Uh, well, that's what it was originally supposed

to be, and then I guess they changed it. Yeah,

but who even would even come up with that? Like,

you know what would be awesome if we did Space

Jungle? No. And... You're fired. Yes, exactly.

As we're going forward, starting with last episode

and now this episode, Scotty and I really don't

have it. I mean, I have memories of watching

the show as a 19 -year -old emo kid, but I don't

think we were really watching Power Rangers at

19 anymore. I remember watching it here and there,

but I did not actively watch the series. I've

never seen an episode of Lost Galaxy until this.

Until this, I can be completely honest. Yeah.

Power Rangers is kind of a guilty pleasure for

me, at least going forward from in space to whatever

the new seasons are, because I've just always

been like, you know, they usually make an announcement

every February, hey, new Power Rangers series

coming up in February or whatever else, so. Yeah.

Any general thoughts on lost galaxy for you absolutely

um I'm not gonna say that it was as good as in

space But but it was definitely definitely a

good a good season It's ten times better than

turbo, and I think if lost galaxy would have

been before in space I would have liked it even

more, but in space was so complete that It's

hard To to judge this equally because they had

a lot a lot of standalone episodes, you know

what I mean? Yeah, and and in space was like

one giant continuous story with only a few standalone

episodes and even on those standalone episodes

They still had the story. Yeah, they still touched

on a bunch of stuff in and although lost galaxy

The standalone episodes, you know, they weren't

terrible and there was a couple really good ones,

but it's like They did have a lot of standalone

episodes. Now there was a couple things that

I absolutely loved and then there was one thing

that I hate with a passion and I'll get to that

in a second. The stuff that I loved was the Zords,

the Lost Galaxy, the Galactic Beast Zords. I

loved how they were actual like real beasts and

then turned into Robot form or whatever, you

know mechanical form and then they transferred

into a Megazord. I like that I was said that

the condor was not a dragon because the first

time I seen it I was like That's a badass new

dragon. That's a dragon. That is awesome. And

then they're like condor and I was like what?

That's a big. Oh, that's a big old silly bird

You know the the grill is awesome the wolf, the

wildcat, you know what I mean? Those are really

nice. You know, the spaceships I could probably

do without. Of course, everybody knows I'm not

a spaceship zord kind of guy. But the other thing

I loved and I thought was so awesome is when

Caron came back as a astronomer trying to get

that saber. And I was like, that is awesome.

And then she became the new Ranger. Yeah, the

new Pink Ranger, which I absolutely loved. Now,

the thing I hate, hate, hate, hate is the way

they run. I cannot stand the way they run. It

is so stupid. It is dumb. It doesn't make them

run any faster. In fact, that makes them look

like they slow down. And even when they're running

for like 10 feet, they still do that stupid,

that stupid claw hand behind your back. It almost

reminds me of the way uh mario used to run and

like oh yeah with his hand out yeah i'm just

like stop it you know what i mean yeah that was

bad that was very very bad uh my thoughts on

the magnet defender was i was really looking

forward to um the magnet defender um i thought

again they kind of dropped the ball on how they

brought him in i like the story how they did

it but there was just no there's no it's not

epic like when Tommy became the Green Ranger.

It was it was crazy epic. When Tommy became the

White Ranger, it was just like it was extreme.

You know, I mean, he had his own song, his own

zord. It was crazy. It's like it's like, you

know, oh, hey, look, you're the Magnet Defender.

Just like that. And it's just like, I don't know.

They just I thought they did a better job of

making Caron, the new Pink Ranger, with her coming

out just like a badass kicking ass, you know,

just, you know. You know taking people on and

it's like the Magnet offender just got like that.

He's got that lame space shotgun thingy Yeah,

well, you know the thing with the Magnet offender

is he just shows up and then you know He just

shows up. He's mr. Oh, I'm gonna brood I you

know, I'm I'm gonna be us I'm gonna be a Brandon

Ralph Superman and brood and be stocky and all

this and all that and They show the story of

him losing his son so many freaking times. Yes,

we get it You lost Scorpius killed your kid.

We get it. Okay, we feel sorry for you What I

really liked about the Magnet offender storyline

is the fact that Mike didn't die Yeah, that was

all that's that's what I liked about the Magnet

offender storyline that the Magnet offender finally

came to realize that revenge wasn't what he was

all what his powers and what he was supposed

to be about. He was supposed to be about, you

know, learning to accept and become a hero and

then passing those powers on to Mike. And then

Mike being essentially the sixth Ranger. That's

what I liked about it. But I will agree. I mean,

his his introduction was so lame. Yeah. And like

I said, his story is awesome. Yeah, it is. And

even though they showed his son dying 150 times.

I don't know and I kind of think that if you

know, and I know it's just a Power Rangers story

I get that but if somebody would have killed

my kid I would be a lot I would be a little bit

more upset. All right, I'm just saying but you

know, he finally gets his revenge or whatever

But you know, I do love his zord. I do like how

He grew and then went into the zord to control

it when it stood up, you know, I did I did like

that Know we're not talking about zords yet,

but I'm just no I know No, that's fine. I mean,

that's that's fine I mean, you know, I love this

costume and I did I did like his shotgun. I did

like his sword I did like everything about him.

I just wish they would have brought him on I

wish all five of the Rangers would have been

would have been hurt They would have been beaten

up. They didn't have any other chance and the

real magnet offender Then came to conclusion

that he just couldn't do it anymore and then

gave his powers to Mike and Mike took over and

came back and whooped him instead it was like

Hey, look this new awesome six Ranger is just

a normalized Ranger and the red Rangers still

the best Ranger Yeah, the one thing we'll see

here. Here's the thing and here's here's where

the story and here's where this series not only

gets dark But the the thing is Mike was the one

that pulled out the red Ranger saber Yeah, and

then he fell into the crevice and then Leo, you

know He passed his saber on to Leo and Leo learned

and this that the other thing everything else

and then the Magnet offender thing happened um

so i mean that there is that in in leo you know

thanks throughout you know most of the series

he was hey i'm the substitute you know these

were intended for mike but mike at that point

when he when that happened he has the magnet

defender powers and he's like leo no i passed

it on to you you are worthy and leo is a hero

in his own right because well besides the fact

that he's a stowaway You know, he is trespassed

a little bit nothing wrong. Yeah. Yeah, there's

nothing wrong with that. He didn't steal anything,

but I but I never ever got how They made a big

deal out of only the five chosen, you know people

can and can yank out these swords But he ain't

got the sword. So how is he the chosen one? Is

it just well are they just saying like destiny

is more powerful than the chosen one because

that's that's what was planned Possibly because

because the old guy tells the story of the five

people that will put you know that will pull

out these savers and Defeat all the evil and

it's like hey look five people and then one of

them gave the sword away Right, but you also

have to think of the Power Rangers History as

far as they're being six Rangers. Yeah, you know

Mike fell into a crevice. He passed his sword

on to Leo Leo became the leader Leo you know

didn't really he fell into the role but he stepped

up to the role of being the leader of the power

rangers mike came back and mike assume the magnet

defender powers the powers of honor and this

and the other thing so i mean it is a little

nitpick and i i don't quite mind it but i mean

you are right it doesn't really make that much

sense you know some of it doesn't really make

any more sense i forgot to bring this up earlier

was that is that uh... Lost Galaxy went through

a great amount of rewriting, most notably more

information surrounding the title, which really

didn't have much to do with the Rangers. According

to some of the show's writers, Mirinoi was going

to be located in the Lost Galaxy, Zordon was

going to be responsible for creating the Rangers'

powers, as I said before, and the Magnet Defender

powers were going to be linked closer with the

Quasar savers. The romance of the Red and Pink

Rangers, Leo and Kendricks, were going to develop

more and be more important to the story, but

due to Valerie Vernon's leukemia and departure

from the show, the story arcs were scrapped.

So that's Kendricks, right? She got leukemia?

Yeah. Valerie Vernon, she has since gotten over

it. She's better and she's actually retired from

acting at this point now. But the reason why

Kendricks died on the show Was because Valerie

left the show because she had gotten leukemia

and she had left to go for treatment My problem

with Caron being the the new pink ranger is that

The writers couldn't decide which of the guys

that she was going to quote -unquote be romantically

linked with. There was an episode where she and

Damon had a huge storyline where, you know, she

was encouraging him to... Encouraging him to

go for this job. She was hanging off his arm

like she was his girlfriend And then she and

Leo had an episode where they go find the triangle

To get Leo's battle eiser thing and they made

that seem like that those two were gonna get

together I mean, they basically treated Caron

like a hoe in this series. Yeah. Yeah, we had

a name for those people in high school Those

are called sluts. Yeah Yeah What I absolutely

love is the fact that they brought in, it's not

a direct, as I said before, it's not a direct

separate series and it's not a direct continuation,

but I love the fact that they brought in the

Mega Ship and they had Alpha still there, they

had Deka still there, and they had this mechanic

named Daemon and I thought that was a really

cool aspect of it. The one thing that pisses

me off about Lost Galaxy is the way they run.

I agree. Okay, okay Besides the way they run

as far as the storyline what really makes me

mad about the series. Have you ever seen Titan

AI? No It's an animated movie. I know what it

is. I've just never seen it. I was meant to also

Okay. Well the point of that is the earth gets

blown up and the humans have to go find a new

world Lost Galaxy the earth doesn't get blown

up, but they're going to find a new world anyway

Seriously, yeah, we haven't even even now in

2012. We haven't even you know broken The depths

of what space exploration can be done, you know,

and they're Actively and voluntarily leaving

to go find a new world when they have one that

they've already pretty much destroyed anyway,

right? I that was one thing, you know on the

rewatch when i rewatched all these episodes that

was the one thing that really bugged me was why

are they creating this entire space colony to

go find a new world i mean i i can kind of get

it because you don't just want to have the same

city battles on you know in some strange city

on earth and whatever else because we've had

that for the last five or six seasons so i kind

of get that um but that that was just one little

plot point that kind of bugged me that they Actively

volunteered to leave their home planet to go

find a new one Yeah, yeah, and it didn't what

wasn't like, you know, Trikino was gonna blow

the earth up They just wanted it they just wanted

a new beginning dude, yeah, I guess Um, do you

have a favorite ranger? I'm sure Leo by far.

Okay, I'd say Damon Damon's probably my second

favorite I really liked his storyline. It was

kind of funny, though, how how jacked he is because

they try to cover it up with that green like

mechanic suit. But any time you can see his arms,

he was as big as a house. That dude is jacked.

Yeah. And they had to cover it up as best they

could. So Leo didn't look like a woman because

Leo was pretty strong, too. Leo was pretty he

was pretty tone, too. Yeah. Yeah. But they all

still ran like. Yes, they did dude every time

I promise you every time they rain I rolled my

eyes or shook my head I was just like, are you

serious? Yeah, I think I'm a magnet defender

didn't run like that. Yeah, I Am I know this

is bad and for anyone who is lit I'm not gonna

curse here, but this is kind of an adult humor

every time I saw Maya with Kendrick's or with

Corona I'm like just hurry up and start making

out already, right? What is it what when the

man used to call it HLA Hot lesbian action or

whatever. Yeah Yeah, they were there they're

just best friends, dude. Yeah getting into the

villains. Um Trikina is really the main villain

of the series Scorpius. I hated Scorpius. Yeah

Scorpius was useless to me. I mean What was what

was her dad's name? Scorpius Scorpius. What was

it? What was the guys? What was the guy's name

that had the nine lives or whatever? That was

last year. That was DV. That was not DVR. That

was um, oh god last season Who's the one that

wanted to get into the chamber the cocoon? Oh

That's DVR Their condo was the one that had nine

lives, but that was last season. Deviant was

the one that wanted to get it. Deviant is basically

a machine empire reject. Well, that's what he

looks like to me because he looks like some of

the machine empire villains did. I'm not saying

he's from the machine empire. He's not. But Deviant

was the one that wanted to overthrow Scorpius

and get in the cocoon and all that stuff. Right.

And I liked him. But yeah, I agree that. Turquina's

dad was I would be unscared of that that slob

thing that just said on a on a on a brick Yeah,

I mean he he's a scorpion on a rock. I mean,

that's all it is. It's like I'm not I'm just

not very scared of you I'm just I feel bad for

you and I and I don't I Don't like the whole

I I don't do insects. I'm not a fan of insects

at all. So this entire season dealing with them,

I mean, Trichina, Trichina, when she's not in

her insect forms, she's hot. But the whole insect

vibe, sting wingers, no thanks. Yeah, I'd much

rather have the Z putties over the sting wingers.

Oh, geez. I didn't really like when they use

the lights of Orion also. I liked their outfits

without it. I didn't like it on the lost get

on that galaxy Megazord I just kind of wish they

would I didn't hate it I just kind of wish they

would have stayed away from it. That was another

thing that I'm the galaxy Megazord, but the The

lights of Orion to me on them They're basically

all lion o's if you look at them because they

have a sword and they have a claw. Yeah Yeah,

basically all thunder cat lion. Oh Well, the

only thing the only thing I was kind of I kind

of wish to was like, they made a huge deal out

of these lights of Orion and they should have

been a lot, lot better than or a lot stronger

than that. Or they should have saved them more

towards the end and made them like, you know,

they should have the lights of Orion instead

of that. That stupid, ridiculous, giant machine

gun thingy that that Leo got at the end. I thought

the Battlizer was OK. No, God, no. It was OK.

I mean, it wasn't like. horrible uh... it was

horrible you could how you know what it looks

horrible but the powerful effect of it it was

all right the look of it was horrible i i will

i will admit to that but just the powerful effect

that it had and even so though i mean you still

have the same old progression of oh kill kill

small monster with this weapon kill small monster

with this bigger weapon the monster still gonna

friggin grow You're still gonna have to bring

out the galactic beasts and everything else the

thing I didn't like about the monsters in this

series Some of them actually drank a potion to

get bigger. There was no missiles. There was

no torpedoes. There was no Dino regeneration

which we'll get to that later Down the line here

and from the commencement of the podcast You

know, they just drank a potion and I'm like really

you're just gonna sit there and drink a vial

of green ooze Oh, I got to do that. I got to

do that here in a couple of weeks and get my

body checked out. Hopefully I don't grow like

that, though. That'd be doctor be kind of confused

in smaller doses through future mutants. Oh,

my God. I did like Kegler. He was the little

one that came with Villa Max. Yeah, that's cool.

He was cool. He reminds me of a more competent

Squat and Baboo. Like if you combine Squat and

Baboo and actually give them intelligence, that's

what he kind of reminded me of. I liked Villamax

because it's an honorable villain. He's loyal

to Turquina to the end, but when he sees her

going off the deep end, he's like, no, I cannot

be a part of this. And of course she destroys

him, sadly. Yeah, Villamax was cool. Yeah, although,

you know, his helmet, he's basically Judge Dredd.

That's the first thing I thought too when I seen

him. No doubt about it. I am the law. I don't

think I had any other, like, favorite bad guys.

I mean, this season was just kind of like, bleh,

on the bad guys. I like trikino when she's not

in her full insect form. Oh, yeah, that's that

was just stupid. I don't know I don't like it

was gross and disgusting I like her overall.

I like the actor. Hey, I like Amy Miller the

actress that played her I thought she played

her very well. Yeah, she did good and The fact

that you know and what it was so stupid I like

the fact that Villa Max trained her, but as he's

training her each time that she's not doing well,

she's like, you broke my nail. You got nine more

to go. Right. You know, it's like, really, you're

going to go that route of being that girly of

a princess when you're supposed to be this huge,

big ass villain. And she becomes that eventually.

But that was his character development. That's

why they did that. I know. Yeah. I liked when

she went to the bar. She kicked the crap out

of that dude after she got her powers back. Yeah,

that was funny. That was great. You know what

that reminded me of was Superman 2. Oh, God,

yes. Where he gets his powers up and he goes.

Yeah, he goes and that guy beats him up and then

he's like, excuse me, sir, I believe you're sitting

in my seat. And then he kicks the crap out of

him. Yeah. Getting into the arsenal, we start

out with the Transmorphers. Well, I guess we

can talk about these and talk about the morphing

sequence as well and the fact that The Lost Galaxy

Rangers are essentially Charlie Brown's. Oh Yeah

I do like their outfits. I really I like their

outfits. I love their helmets though. Their helmets

are really what? What I really liked about them

The trans morphers or what give them their powers

and I like the morphing sequence in this and

I like how They do go through like the first

10 or 12 episodes They go through individual

morphing sequences and then later that they start

doing the just straight, you know Go galactic

and they don't even go through this the actual

sequence. They just you know, they're just more

agree And then sometimes, as the series progressed,

they'll do the four panel morph on the screen,

where four of them will morph at the same time.

Whereas in some other series that are currently

airing, they started doing that crap at the second

friggin' episode. So you got the Transmorphers,

you got the Magnet Defender Morpher. I liked

it. I liked the Magnet Defender powers, but...

I don't know. I mean, the Magna Defender Morpher

really didn't really do anything for me. The

Morphers in general don't really, I mean, past

MMPR, the Morphers don't do it. Like, the sequence

is great. I love the sequences, but the Morphers

themselves, I don't care. I like the In Space

Morphers. Those things are nice. Yeah. How you

typed in mega or whatever. But yeah, these are

very, very plain. and you can't really do a lot

with something so plain, you know what I mean?

You can't get into it, you know, but for the

toys though, they still sell like hotcakes. And

so does the Magnet Defender Morpher, too. For

whatever reason, it's kind of goofy, but it is

what it is. And then, of course, all five Rangers

are King Arthur. The Quasar Sabers let us pull

these swords from this stone. I like the Quasar

Saber a lot. I love the Quasar Saber because

it is different. It's not something we normally

would get. I mean normally you get a gun or you

know normally just the Red Ranger has a sword

and the other ones have a bow or a scythe or

nunchucks or you know something like that. So

I do like the Quasar Sabers. The trans daggers

were a little weird. Yeah, they were kind of

soft In in battle as a ranger you really you

know, unless you lose your quasar saber in battle

I guess that's a good backup for a close combat

But yeah, especially with the way they ran with

the swords and and the daggers in there That's

a real like them running by themselves with nothing

in their hands is dumb But when they're running

with the weapons, that's even worse. Oh, yeah,

no doubt. Yeah, no It's terrible the way they

run it all together just got awful. Yeah, I'm

so happy when they got when they got bikes You

know, yeah, you know what I changed my mind I

like that race the racing episode. Yeah, what

was that? What was that bad guy's name? Oh, man

Crap I forget. I know I know what you're talking

about though The other thing that I liked was

the odor mantis odor mantis. There we go. Hell.

Yeah What was the other thing you liked They

mean such a great deal out of the lights of Orion

and all as it is is all five Rangers Combining

into a giant ball of fire great balls of fire.

We're gonna blow up this monster There's Jerry

Lee Lewis when you really need him. You know,

and the other thing was at the beginning they

said all five Rangers need to be present for

the lights to work. There was an episode where

Leo was off somewhere and the lights still frigging

worked. Are you sure? I'm pretty sure. Because

I thought they even made, they even made, there

was even an episode where they're like, you know,

you need to get there so the lights of Orion

will work. Yes. Yes, there was that episode that

I'm pretty sure later on there was an episode

where four of them used the lights at one point.

You could be right, and I just didn't pay any

attention to it. I didn't realize it. I don't

remember. Over the last two weeks, I've watched

all 45 episodes straight through, and they're

all blurring together at this point. So maybe

Chaotix or any of the listeners that want to

write in and let us know whether we are right

or wrong, I say, That there was an episode. I

don't remember what the episode was, but there

was an episode where at one point Four out of

the five Rangers used the lights of Orion That

could be the battle iser was ugly, but the power

was kind of cool the you know the I Like the

jetjammers those were I like the jetjammers a

lot better than the Astro boards that that the

in space Rangers had You know that the jetjammers

remind me of Mario Kart. They're kind of small

And you're kind of like a big guy in the jet

jammer. So it's kind of reminds me of like the

Mario and Luigi on their, in their go -karts.

Yeah. They were neat. They came in handy. The

Astro cycles to me are just another version of

a PR motorcycle that, you know, just a different

version. I've never liked motorcycles in, in,

in Power Rangers. I just don't care enough for

them. I think they use them for filler episodes

plus they can sell them sell the toys and you

know, and yeah, and it's no it's no secret that

You know, they're obviously making these episodes

Because you know for for fans their thing, but

they obviously want to make money, too. So right

Uh getting into the zords the galacta beasts

or what about the uh, the red cap, uh Capsular

style or the cycle whatever where it turned into

a the line It reminded me of what Tommy had with

oh the the red wheel that he used oh That's what

it reminded me of so hmm The Zords I Like that

they're organic. I like that. They are the first

sentient Zords that we have Sometimes I wish

that they wouldn't have transformed them and

they would have just stayed their Galactabeast

style and not turned into actual like I want

to see a Galact like a non robot version of the

Galactabeast Megazord Where it's more organic

Rather than the robot versions. That would just

be weird looking I think it would be kind of

cool looking just to see it once. I mean I mean,

of course it has to go off the Sentai footage,

but I just find it weird that every single time

it's like, oh, we got a Zord Transform. The Taurus

Zord was cool. The Lost Galactic Beasts, they

had the... Centaurus and Stratiforce and Zenith

Carrier Zord. The Rhino, the Phoenix, and the

Shark. Yup. And they were all... Because all

of these Zords are sentient. Yeah. And see, that's

the other thing that kind of was weird to me

in the finale. The Zord, the Megazord showed

up at the end. But no one was piloting it because

these Galacta Beasts are sentient. So, I mean,

almost, you not even need the five Power Rangers.

Just have the Zords fight the villains. That's

very true. God, it reminds me of that crappy

movie Stealth. Don't even know what that is.

Stealth was a movie in 2003 where it was about

this AI drone versus pilots actually piloting

planes. Oh I haven't even heard of it. Yeah Let's

see what's next down the line here um Yeah, that's

pretty much it. I mean, I I liked all the zords.

I liked all the different I liked how they had

actual different zords this time I like how they

didn't all combine to have one giant zord yeah

yeah I mean sometimes that's nice and sometimes

that's cool and then sometimes it's overdone

yeah yeah because if you combine the the zenith

the stratiforce and and the centaurus that into

the actual galaxy megazord that would look dumb

yes I don't know how that they would I mean Don't

know how they would get that to do that. So We

are now I know this is probably a painful process

for spade it because he said that the sentai

for this really sucked so We're gonna head to

spade. Ah, and we'll be back after his thoughts

on the Sentai version of Lost Galaxy. Hey gang,

Spade of the Ball Matrix here and this time we

are talking about Seiju Sentai Gingaman. Airing

from February 22nd, 1998 to February 14th, 1999,

this was Toei's 20 seconds entry into the Super

Sentai series and is widely considered one of

the absolute worst entries into the franchise.

We will get into those reasons in a little bit,

but first we need to figure out what this show

was all about. 3 ,000 years ago, the Baruban

space pirates invaded Earth and lived atop the

stellar beast, Daitanakusu. The great beast was

hungry and started sucking the very energy out

of the stars. The good star beasts and the warriors

of the Ginga forest defeated and sealed the Baruban

at the time. bottom of the deepest part of Earth's

oceans. In order to guard against the return

of the pirates, the Ginga concealed and hid their

forest from the world in order to watch over

it and protect it. 133 generations later, five

Gingans were chosen as the warriors who would

wield the Seijun -ken swords and defend the planet.

During the ceremony of succession for the Sejukan

blades, a massive earthquake broke the seal that

contained the Baruban. The five warriors were

then sent to retrieve the Ginga bracelets, but

were attacked by the Baruban. During the fight,

one of the five Chosen sacrificed himself in

order to save his younger brother from falling

into a giant crevasse created by Captain Zahabu,

who was the leader of the Baruban. That younger

brother, Ryoma, took his elder brother's blade

and, using the sword, summoned the Ginga bracelets,

enabling him to transform into Ginga Red. If

this introduction sounds a little familiar, that's

because it's exactly the same as Jetman and Five

Man before it. The initial loss of a family member

at the beginning of a Super Sentai series has

been used as a way to give the Red Ranger a personal

reason to fight against the villains. You know,

because the villains trying to destroy or take

up the world wasn't a good enough reason. Also,

the ancient sealed away evil thingy is a tried

and true method that has been used in Super Sentai

since the very beginning. Speaking of the villains,

the only motivation they show throughout the

entire series is looking for a power source with

enough juice to awaken Daitanekusu. It's a pretty

much a giant star devouring Godzilla -like monster

that the pirates built their headquarters on.

That's it. Nothing else. They do nothing else

throughout the entire series. This is a very

rare case where the Power Rangers adaptation

has the villains being vastly more interesting

than the source material. Trekkina and Scorpius

are worlds better than the villains in this show.

Captain Zaihabu and his bikini -clad second -in

-command She -Linda, yes, her name is She -Linda,

That's the exact phonetic spelling. Do nothing.

They just act moderately evil. And that's it.

Speaking of the Power Rangers show that was adapted

from Gingaman, the concept that an entire people

were turned to stone is actually carried over

from Gingaman. But the reason is completely different.

In Lost Galaxy, the villains turned Maya's tribe

into stone. In Gingaman, the Gingas, the Gingans,

voluntarily turned themselves to stone in order

to prevent the Baruban from stealing the magical

energies of their forest. Thankfully, one thing

that was not carried over from Gingaman to Galaxy

Force, I'm sorry, Lost Galaxy, was the use of

horses by the Power Rangers. That's right, in

Gingaman, each ranger had their very own signature

horse that was dressed up to resemble their token

star beast. If you look at the pictures that

are all over the net, it looks absolutely ridiculous.

Nothing much else was different between the shows,

other than, you know, the basic plot and the

characters, which is to be expected. Both shows

use the same costumes, zords, armaments, etc.

Heck, even the idea of the Red Ranger's older

brother falling into the earth only appear later,

as the Sixth Ranger was carried over. That's

right. Remember the original Gingen warrior mentioned

earlier? Yep. He comes back as the... as Bull

Black. Bull Black is what we know in the US as

the Magna Defender, and the plot of the original

Bull Black is exactly the same as his Power Ranger

counterpart. To the letter, it's really kind

of disturbing to see how similar the two are,

but I understand why. There's not really much

they could do. They had to explain the Magna

Defender somehow, and this was the best way.

In Japan, Gingaman was not well liked at all.

Fans complained that the ranger's costumes were

bland and unimaginative, while the villain's

costumes were gross and unappealing to look at.

Also, a lot of fans argued that the main human

villain looked more like an ugly prostitute and

really had no reason for being in the show at

all. She was just there. Also, the Rangers themselves

were horribly cast, as none of the actors could

convey even the most basic of emotions. Not to

mention that each had a very little in the personality

department. There's a reason why this show is

considered the worst acted show of all time.

On top of that, the entire show was poorly written

with no direction or plot to move the episodes

forward. In some examples, a monster would just

show up for no reason whatsoever. He would just,

you know, show up. Another major complaint was

with the star beasts themselves. While the beasts,

while in beast forms, they had been described

as muppet rejects, and their animations were

pathetic at best. Now you have to remember, this

is the country where Godzilla and Ultraman had

been airing for decades. If the production staff

couldn't have done the organic star beasts well,

then they shouldn't have done them at all. Yet

another complaint that was levied against the

show was that the Megazords, or the... robot

forms all appear cheap on screen. And we can

actually see a little bit of this in the Lost

Galaxy footage. There seems to be a lot less

of the robot part and a lot more of that weird

rubber that is connecting the different components.

The last thing one should take away from Gigaman

is that the music and the audio editing of this

show was atrocious. When the show was originally

broadcast, there were massive issues with the

audio quality in each episode, and the problems

were different in every episode. One week it

would be the audio didn't match what was going

on on screen, another week would have complete

missing of a... audio cues and sound effects

and then the third week it would be something

completely different. That continued pretty much

on through straight through the series and only

really got cleaned up towards the last 10 to

15 episodes. Needless to say, Seju Sentai Gingaman

was not well -liked at all. In fact, it was so

hated that this series held the dubious honor

of being the only series that was almost pulled

from the air. To this day, many hail this show

as their least favorite Sentai. I personally

would much rather watch Lost Galaxy and forget

that this thing ever existed. So, I've been Spada

the Bolt Matrix. If you'd like to hear more from

me, check out my YouTube channel at youtube .com

slash boltmatrix. Or follow me on Twitter at

twitter .com slash boltmatrix. Now back to Mike

at the Command Center. All right. Thank you again,

Spada. Sorry you had to go through that horrible,

horrible Sentai. He loved it. Yeah, right. So

now we're going to talk about the Galaxy episodes.

I tried to just keep to the incontinuity ones,

but I did watch all 45 episodes. Normally when

I would get to a one -off episode, I would actually

skip through it on Netflix. I would like skip

scenes because I'm more continuity -driven at

this point and I want an actual story. I think

for me, I loved the Quasar Quest because obviously

it's the introduction. The lights of Orion saga

I like that Let's see lost galactic beast two

-parter that was good Memories of Mirano I was

good, but it was so obvious that that chick was

a villain Yeah, I mean that was so obvious cuz

everyone on Mirano I got turned to stone well

duh and then they tried to make the story of

oh how she escaped that's That's so I liked Mean

Will's Mantis was by far my favorite standalone

episode Power of Pink was good an evil game was

good Which which one is the one where he got

he got pissed and tore off his shirt It was pretty

laid I want to say it's like You talking about

Leo, right? Yeah, Leo. Yeah where he snaps off.

I think it's where when did he get the When did

he lose his power or whatever his his morpher

got burnt and he had to go get the oh? That was

um that was facing the past is one yeah So no

no there was one scene where he does rip his

shirt off, but then he morphs right after that

yeah, it's like I'm Hulk a maniac and then let

me morph and cover up my bare chest That made

no sense um We have to talk about, because I

think this is the first episode or first series

to do a crossover to the past. To the 10th Power

was where the Space Rangers came in. Which was

awesome. Which was awesome. Power of Pink was

where Korone came back and then Protect the Quasar,

Saber and Facing the Past was all Korone episodes.

I love those. Enter the Lost Galaxy. I liked

them entering the Lost Galaxy. I liked Trekkina

not being the villain, but at the same time,

I hated the pirate villains. They were just so

stupid. Oh, yes, he was a giant titanic. Yeah,

it was. Yeah, it was so friggin stupid. I liked,

although compared to the Sting Wingers, I liked

the pirates putty. You know there you know super

reminded me of what Cartman Face and like the

way his hat is or whatever just like it just

really reminded me of Cartman every time I looked

at his like his big white face those big eyes

and that hat I was just kind of like I Can't

even take you seriously. Yeah. Oh, I know it

And then escaped the lost galaxy was great. And

then the journey and journeys and three -parter

was just amazing. Yeah. Yes I loved, they are

really, with these new seasons that we're gonna

be getting into throughout the show, they're

really amping up the stories because they have

to be self -contained. They're not relying on

continuity of, oh, wonder if we're gonna get

another season in this, that, and the other thing.

And I love how they start off with the two -parter

of the Quasar quest and they end with Journey's

End. And what's so... ironic about Quasar Quest

and Journey's End. They left Mironoi. They came

back to Mironoi. Yeah. I don't think I would

want to stay in a place called Mironoi. Just

call it, well, could be called Planet Bob. That'll

work. Planet Bob it is. I liked the, actually

no, I didn't like. I hated the episode that Damon

Tried out for the mechanics job and got the job

or that other guy stole his uh, his idea and

then he was like that Cron was like hey, that's

and he stepped on her foot. I'd have been like

no you stole my idea. You're Yeah, I didn't like

that episode either that It's made me mad. I

was like, why would you do that? And then he

gave him the job anyway He's like, no, I think

you deserve the job Like how do you figure he

deserves the job when he stole your idea and

then lied about it? But whatever Well, to be

fair, when the kid said, you know, I'm sorry,

I cheated, blah, blah, blah, you deserve the

job, and then Damon finds out what the job actually

is. Basically, instead of fixing the ships or

fixing stuff on Terravingia, he's a paper busher,

and that's when he says, hey, no. The original

kid that cheated even though he cheated he's

you know, he still admitted to it He he's the

man for the job because Damon did not want to

be a paper pusher. Mm -hmm Getting into the music.

Um, I like the theme song I Think I like the

instrumental version a little bit better than

the one with the actual lyrics It's good for

like one listen through like good for Listening

to the theme song once but after hearing it 45

times. I'm sick of it. Yeah I'll probably I'll

probably disagree so far so so, you know so far

I love all the theme songs and I can listen to

them over and over and I like I like Lost Galaxy

a lot I don't have it on my my workout iPod,

but I do have like Zio I do have in space I do

obviously have, you know, Mighty Morph Power

Rangers, Green Ranger song, White Ranger song,

some of the other songs. But I don't think it's

it's good enough to put on a iPod. So it's good.

It's just not great like the other ones. Right.

And I am going to put obviously in the beginning

of the episode, people would have heard the.

the actual theme song with the lyrics. I'm also

going to put in the instrumental version, which

it's the theme song. It just doesn't have the

lyrics. Because I like the music of it. I just,

after watching it so many times, I don't like

hearing the lyrics. So I'll probably put that

in when we go to break or something like that.

Getting into the reception and the legacy and

all that stuff. It is on Netflix streaming, so

that's pretty much where you guys can see it.

They might have had a single disc or a double

disc DVD with maybe 10 or 12 episodes, but all

PR seasons are on Netflix now, so that's pretty

much what I'll pimp out. Which is absolutely

amazing, by the way. Yes. It makes this way easier.

Oh yeah, we've said that every episode. Having

all the past PR seasons on Netflix, and even

Samurai's on there now, having all of them on

Netflix makes it so much easier than having to

hunt down YouTube videos of them. Or having to

find DVDs that may only have one or two or ten

or a batch of ten here or there. As far as the

toys you actually on your award -winning video

series from the command center you actually reviewed

the galaxy Megazord Yep, yep. I figured I figured

that it would be perfect for For because we're

obviously gonna do this podcast and I seen it.

I was like those are awesome I gotta have it

even if it is a condor and not a dragon I hunted

it down on on the ranger board and he shipped

it to me and I got it I got it just in time for

that episode. So I actually really, really like

that Megazord. I really do. It is an awesome

toy. Yes, it absolutely is awesome. He sent me

the box. He didn't send it to me. I paid for

it, obviously. But I got the box and all that

stuff, too, that I probably could have showed

off because I really do like boxes and box art.

But all it's all it is is a picture of the toy

Megazord. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But while we're talking

about toys real quick. For those of you that

do collect toys or Samurai figures and don't

know this, there is a new Megazord out and it's,

excuse me, it is the Bullzord. So be looking

for Power Rangers Samurai to be showing off this

Bullzord very quickly. There's also a new Super

Samurai belt, a new Super Samurai spin sword,

the obviously the Black Morpher. So all that

stuff should be, you know, on your local toy

shelves. I'm trying to actually hunt down the

bulls or because next month, like I said, I'm

going to do samurai Rangers are zores because

there's a bunch of them that I haven't shown

off yet, like the claws or which is absolutely

terrific. Yeah. So. Awesome. Yes, yes. Alright

with that we're gonna go to a break you're gonna

hear some ads and some other PR goodness and

we'll be back after this. This is Karen Ashley

on Lost Galaxy and we can't go anywhere without

bringing up Chaotix12345. He posted a bunch of

thoughts on the PCN forums and I have cut out

all those thoughts and put them into each episode.

He says, Lost Galaxy was pretty good but lacked

structure so the story is literally all over

the place. That was due to production delays

and the fact that the writers couldn't decide

on what they... wanted to wear the story to go

the team up with space rangers is friggin awesome

though and results in great twist that brings

familiar former villainous into rangers role

the original magnet defender is also a complete

badass um magnet defender powers and the magnet

defenders zords are great as we've said just

his introduction just lacked it was just soft

yeah it was just way too soft it just wasn't

He didn't come in to save the day. It was like,

you know, if you watch wrestling, if you're a

wrestling fan and you got three on one and you're

waiting for that save, it was like instead of

the guy running down as fast as he can to the

high point of his music, it was like he just

walks through the ring. Yeah, it's basically

with no music. The Magna Defender introduction

is basically Santino Marella going through a

skit. Yes. Actually, I love that dude, so. Oh,

God, I can't stand Santino. His manscape. Oh,

God. Before we go, though. Yes. I don't know

if you've seen it, but Samurai is going to re

-air, I believe, this weekend or maybe it's next

weekend with the Super Samurai. It's kind of

like season two of Power Rangers Samurai. Because

they're they're they're gonna do two seasons

of samurai rangers instead of just the one obviously

because it's already been going on for Seems

like a year and a half. Yeah forever, but it's

like hey look here's an episode now We're gonna

take three months off. Yeah, I I've pretty much

stopped watching samurai I will not watch samurai

again until we get to it here on the podcast

because I've completely they Fracked up so much

with not showing the origin story in the very

friggin beginning. If you're gonna premiere a

series, you have to show an origin story. You

can't just throw someone into a random episode.

I totally agree. And the way that Netflix has

it listed, because it's the way it's listed in

the PR... Production date or air date or whatever

else and as the origin story is like the 19th

and the 20th episodes So you actually have to

watch those first and then go back up to episode

1 the team unites blah blah blah It just it took

me out of the series and I just don't care anymore.

The toys look great I love the Zords in the series,

but as far as the story of samurai, I don't care

Yeah, I'm still vested. So I'll probably still

watch it even though it's not that good On that

all 49 episodes of go kaiger, which is the Japanese,

you know This year's Japanese Power Rangers was

a pirate one. Yes, and it's absolutely wonderful,

dude. It's so crazy good I've never the American

version. I I can't watch I cannot watch Japanese

shows I just can't and either could I until this

I never even tried though, but and I'm probably

gonna go back and watch some hit -and -miss You

know ones, but this has just been amazing just

from head to head to I mean from the from the

get -go It's just wonderful. So it doesn't have

an it doesn't have an English dub. Does it? No,

no, no, no, no. No. Yeah, if it doesn't have

I've learned. Shout Factory sent me a DVD review

copy of Transformers The Japanese Collection,

Headmasters, Master Force, and Victory. I cannot

watch television in another language with subtitles.

Even if I mute it, I cannot watch it because

it's like I'm sitting here reading a TV show.

If I want to sit here and read a TV show, I will

look on Wikipedia. Thank you very much. So I

will wait for the American version of Pirate

Power Rangers. Well, I never it comes Hopefully

no, they are gonna do it. They already have said

that they're going to do it. Yeah, what season

are we at 18? First sent for samurai. Yeah, I

think so 18 or 19. Well, I mean, yeah, I think

I think it's I think they're gonna do it for

season 20 They've already said they've already

they've done everything but pretty much signed

it up for it. So We're going to see a lot of

past Rangers. I'm sure we'll get to see Tommy

again and stuff like that. But this this week

is episode 50 and then they will be done. Actually,

am I crazy here or do they just have episode?

No, no, it was episode 49. So episode 50 is soon.

But the greatest power in the universe was actually
