Power Rangers: Space Patrol Delta Review

Ladies and gentlemen before you get into from

the command center episode 16 space patrol Delta

from Power Rangers I just wanted to let you know

that Scotty and I had an amazing time talking

about SPD during the episode that you'll hear

coming up But the night that we recorded Scotty

had a sinus infection or something He wasn't

feeling that well, so I was trying to at the

tail end of the episode I was trying to move

it along as much as possible Tyler and John,

I'm sorry if we didn't answer any of your questions.

It just becomes really hairy to keep track of

all this feedback between voicemails and emails

and comments and whatever else. I try to keep

it all straight as much as I can, but sometimes

I lose track. So I apologize to you guys for

that. But yeah, enjoy SPD here on From the Command

Center. Welcome to a collaboration between the

GeekCaster Radio Network and the Pop Culture

Network. This is From the Command Center, the

podcast, episode 16. I am your host, TFJoneMike,

and joining me is a sinus -infected Scotty Cash

from Pop Culture Network. Hello. I think I'm

dying. You sound like you're dying. Yeah, it's,

I don't know, it gets better, and then it gets

worse, and then it gets better, and then it gets

worse. That's yeah, I had that kind of thing

a while ago. Now just so everybody doesn't think

that I forced Scotty into recording this while

he's sick, he actually emailed me and said, hey,

can we record this now before my sinuses get

worse? I was like, sure, whatever. So yeah, everybody

had a pretty positive reaction to the Jason David

Frank interview. uh... you know it was super

awesome to talk to him uh... he's going to be

doing a lot of really really great stuff i've

been keeping up with his face book page on good

stuff uh... see what else is going on uh... divergence

premiered uh... daniel southworth series on uh...

on on youtube right uh... that it's pretty cool

series so far i've been watching it's i'd i really

like it it's a it surprises me how like they

can put a full... I know it's not full budget,

but what looks to be like a fully budgeted television

show for six minutes, you know, six to ten minutes

on YouTube. I think that's just amazing and awesome

and they're doing a great job with that. We've

got a couple emails. I'm not going to read them

all. I'm not going to read everything from both

of them. I'm going to read part of them. The

email that we got was from... From someone named

Athena Says I love your podcast of using the

season that was pretty awesome that you got to

interview Jason David Frank your discussions

are very amusing and I always like to hear other

people's Opinions of the various seasons because

it helps my enjoyment or helps me look at things

from a different angle In your Dino Thunder review,

you mentioned that the Triassic Ranger felt a

lot like a Sixth Ranger, and I don't blame you

for thinking that. The production team for the

season thought so too. When they first got the

footage of the Triassic Ranger, they believed

it was a completely new Ranger and started setting

up character to take on those powers. Believe

it or not, they had planned for Devin to become

the Sixth Ranger, but when it became apparent

that it was simply a power -up for Connor, the

plans for that were scrapped. I enjoyed the season

originally because Tommy was coming back and

I grew to enjoy it more, and the other four Rangers

primarily because I happened to be in high school

when the show was airing. Granted, I was a sophomore,

not a senior. I love that it reminded me of myself

and my group of friends that while we got on

each other's nerves, we drove each other nuts,

we stuck together. Also, what do you guys think

about all the news about the next season being

revealed at Comic -Con? I got really excited

with the announcement of Gokaiger footage will

be used, but do you think they'll still use 20

episodes a year thing? Because if they do it,

it might be hard to squeeze the epicness of Gokaiger

into so few episodes. Not to mention the rumor

at the time of me writing this that both Ghostsager

and Gokaiger footage is going to be combined

for Megaforce. most likely will be cleared up

by the time you read this on your next episode.

I'd still like to hear what you guys think about

it. Anyways, can't wait for you guys to get to

SPD and start of the Kalish era and your reactions

to it. Power on. Well, we already know that go

Sager and go Kyger go Sager is gonna be season

one go Kyger is gonna be season two of Megaforce

I Honestly can't form an opinion of Megaforce

yet until I see a promo a trailer something until

I actually see footage of the cast I actually

over the weekend I caught you know over the weekend

I caught up with Spada and he and I were talking

about it and I finally got to see the actors

that are going to be the cast members and they

don't impress me. Yeah, I've seen a small clip

of of Megaforce, but it's somebody sent me a

link and it's like a secret, crazy link. But

it was very I'm sure it was built by a quick

company because there's no way that those they

got the people. You know, there was I don't know.

It's hard to explain. Yeah, it's like when you

watch the samurai trailer There was actually

like real footage of them like walking up in

their suits when they're just kind of showing

the guys and the Rangers So I'm pretty sure it's

just sent I with pictures of the cast Yeah Again

when it comes to the Power Rangers seasons, I've

never like okay I can look at say something like

Transformers Prime or Beast Wars or like Phineas

and Ferb. I can look at news of that kind of

stuff and I can really make an opinion that either

way whether I'm going to like it or not. With

Power Rangers, I can't do that until I see an

actual commercial on television or until I see

an episode. I just can't do that. As far as the

Triassic Ranger thing from Dino Thunder, Devin

would have never been a Triassic Ranger. That

would have been terrible. That wouldn't have

worked at all. That would have been awful. I

mean, as much as we kind of, or as much as I

kind of complained about how the Triassic is

just a power -up for Connor, I don't think Devin

would have been a decent choice for that. It

would have been very believable. I understand

that we're watching teenagers fight off monsters

and giant robots, but nerdy old... Goofy Devon

is not gonna be, you know, the Triassic Ranger.

No, not at all We get another one from chaotic.

He actually posted this on on the GCR inside

and over on the pop culture network forums Entertaining

episode as always guys great to hear your hear

you sing the praises of Dinah thunder It has

always been one of my favorite seasons. Yeah,

I wouldn't get my hopes up for seeing a team

up made entirely of returning ranges for Megaforce.

Seeing as how the plot synopsis indicates that

they'll traditional teenagers with attitude gathered

together by a mythical being called Gosei rather

than returning characters. Now here's the thing

about this and I'm gonna interrupt reading his

post here for this because again as I said I

was catching up with Spada and Spada and I were

talking about this this wasn't recorded but it

was just having a conversation. When I saw the

cast for for mega force i'm like okay you know

whatever i'll wait what i would like to see them

do with with veteran rangers is like maybe every

five episodes have like somebody appear in an

episode or something like like one of the old

ones appear in one of the episodes like say you

tell the origin story of the of the mega force

team and then like the sixth episode you could

have someone team up with them that is a veteran

ranger that's what i would like to see uh...

i don't know if it will happen but that's that's

what i would like to see He goes, ah, Scotty,

the Ghostsagers might have been Guardian Angels

in the Synthive, and Megaforce is completely

removing that element. You see, Ghostsager has

a lot of obvious MMPR parallels, big head guy,

robot, the same initial five colors. or so our

adaption is going to for a much more traditional

aliens attack force big head guy in this robotic

assistant to summon five teenagers to become

power rangers plot rather than throwing angels

into it it's reminiscent of mmpr which makes

it perfect for an anniversary series i don't

know how they're going to throw go -kager stuff

into the second season but it should be interesting

to say the least now if they throw what does

he say here If they threw angels into it that

would that would not fly here in the US Because

you'd have so many religious groups going after

Power Rangers, right? He just would See I just

head on over to geek cast radio .com to read

the and go over to the Dino Thunder post you

can read the rest of Chaotix's comments there

Pretty awesome. It's very lengthy, but that's

that's cool So there's that Let's see what else

before we really get into SPD There's a lot of

like when I listen back to Dino Thunder when

we did Dino Thunder there's a lot of stuff I

left out Like I don't know what it is it would

like we get to talking and we usually end up

talking about You know the zords and the powers

and this and anything and it's like half the

time I will completely forget to bring up any

character development which character development

for me is like one of the biggest things I mean,

yes, we did talk about Tommy's character and

all that stuff But we very rarely talked about

the rest of the cast and the only thing I wanted

to bring up was You know Cassidy she essentially

is that stuck -up, you know, look out for herself

person as this as Dino Thunder progresses Even

Ethan befriends her And you know she kind of

mellows out so I like that about her character

there wasn't a real I mean there was kind of

a romance between Kira and Trent But there wasn't

like really any major like in -your -face romances

So All right so getting into SPD which is Power

Rangers space patrol Delta It is the 2005 incarnation

of the Power Rangers television series adapted

from the Super Sentai series Tokasu Sentai Dekaranger.

It is also the title for the Korean dub of the

Dekaranger in South Korea, whose logo is similar

to the American series. SPD stands for Space

Patrol Delta, as I said. In Dekaranger, it stood

for Special Police Dekaranger, and in the South

Korean dub of Dekaranger, it stood for Special

Police Delta. Was originally debuted on February

5th 2005 on ABC Family. Did you ever see this

when it aired on TV? No, I Did this actually

and I'll bring this up at the end of the podcast

This is my final season of actually having memories

of watching Power Rangers when they were on television

After SPD and I saw the Mystic Force trailer

It was just like, no. Just not eat. Just no.

Have you started watching it yet? No, and I won't.

This episode of From the Command Center will

air on Saturday, August 11th. I do not plan on

starting Mystic Force until probably the end

of the month, probably around the weekend of

the 24th, 25th, and 26th, because... I'm just

going to marathon it through a weekend. I'm going

to watch as many episodes as I can. Because I

know from like, get your magic out of my Power

Rangers. The only thing I have ever really watched

that I liked that had magic in it was frigging

He -Man. And what about Harry Potter? I do not

like Harry Potter. I would rather watch a movie

with Homer Simpson and Harry Plopper than watch

that wizard boy. No, I remember watching SPD

very briefly. I saw the first two episodes when

it was on air, and I saw episodes here and there,

but I didn't watch it all. I saw the first two

episodes, I saw a couple in the middle, and I

did see the finale. So there's that. Let's see.

The characters. Alright, so we've got... Jack

Landers, Sky Tate, Bridge Carson, Z Delgado,

Sydney Drew, Omega Ranger Sam, Commander Anubis

Doggy Krueger, Catherine Cat Manx, and the Nova

Ranger. And we also have... Let's see... Well,

those are really the main team. There's also

Boom, but he's more of a... He's more of a side

character than anything else, according to the

listing. So, out of these new rangers, what did

you think of them? I liked them. I liked how

the story was told, like, Z and what's his name?

Jack. Jack were, you know, Robin Hood, I guess,

you know what I mean? If you will. And how...

They were you know, they were chose the way they

were chose which is completely different than

any other Power Rangers that you know before

before So but no, I thought I thought all the

guys all in girls did it just a really good job.

I do wish that You know again like I I Had never

I didn't know anything about SPD. So when I watched

it I watched the preview or not the preview the

opening and it ruins it right away Course it

only ruins the first, you know episode or two

because then you you find out that Jack's gonna

be the Red Ranger But it's like I didn't know

I didn't know Jack was gonna be the Red Ranger,

you know, I had no idea I wouldn't I've never

I wouldn't known that until it actually happened,

but They they put the opening out the way they

did and I knew Jack was gonna be the Red Ranger

from the get -go So that was kind of disappointing.

Yeah You know Between If you combined Jack's

arrogance, well, Jack and Skye's arrogance together,

you would essentially get Joel from Lightspeed.

Skye is all about the rules and all about, oh,

I have to be a Red Ranger because my dad was

a Red Ranger, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And

I just... God. I am surprised that they got this

series to... Was it 36 38 episodes however long

it is like it surprised me that that it went

that long because it just seemed like It just

seemed like it was a lot shorter to me it did

like okay Take um i'm not gonna use that offender

as a comparison, but uh take time force time

force I think was 40 episodes again. I'm not

I don't you know don't quote me listeners on

it because i'm not looking at any information

I'm just going off memory time force was like

40 episodes And those 40 episodes played out

very well, even the one -offs. I mean, this one

does have one -offs, but it has more of the strict

story -based continuity that we're getting used

to. And I liked it, but it was like, really?

This is progressing way too... The pacing on

the overall series is just way too fast. And

honestly, out of the Rangers, honestly, if I

was going to pick one... The one appearance of

of cat is the orange ranger And doggy I like

I like I like doggy as a ranger Yeah, he did

he did he did good There was enough how many

Rangers were there all together then because

if you count if you count cat is the orange ranger

yeah And then at the very end there was the Nova

Ranger and then omega Sam mega and then you had

those six so you had Like nine Rangers. Yeah,

that's a lot. Yeah, but Not to jump too far ahead

SPD It they let's see. How do I word this when

when they when they showed off doggy Kruger as

the sixth Ranger that That is the way a sixth

Ranger makes his debut with a counter, you know

a hundred, you know a hundred counter while he's

going You know balls to the wall going crazy

kicking all the you know crap out of these guys

so we can get to Get to old. What's -his -name

when he's like, well, you got to go through these

guys. He's like, alright, that's fine Yeah, just

you know goes through it was awesome It was amazing

and that's how a lot of these other six Rangers

should have been, you know Yeah, I keep I keep

thinking back to lost galaxy with the magnet

defender and how lame that was. Yeah I mean,

I like the Magnet Defender overall. I mean, you

know, once it was, you know, revealed of his

story, the only problem, as I said, in the Lost

Galaxy episode was, they kept telling his story.

Every time he appeared in an episode in Lost

Galaxy, they had to, oh, Zika, Zuko, whatever

the fuck his kid's, excuse my language, whatever

the hell his kid's name was. You know, that was

the only thing. I thought... With this with doggy

when he appeared as as as the um the shadow ranger

First of all does his nose shrink inside that

helmet. Well, apparently his whole body shrinks

apparently so Because because he that power ranger

Outfit could wear that a whole doggy outfit.

So it's like But we've already had a little kid,

uh, justin big grow up into a big blue ranger.

So who cares? Yeah, um Just don't all right like

the SPD uniforms 1 2 3 4 5 and Once once Omega

comes in he has a Roman numeral 6 on him yet

doggy suit has a 100 I Don't understand that

maybe that's to tie into his his premiere scene

where he has to kill a hundred hundred guys Yeah,

but which still doesn't make any sense. No, it

still doesn't make any sense at all But what

I was gonna say what I was saying earlier was

I wasn't I wasn't talking like I don't like the

Magnet Defender I'm just talking like As an entrance

of a six Ranger, right? Yeah Yeah Yeah, overall

even though I do enjoy SPD the overall attributes

of the Rangers the original five in like I would

say the first 10 to 20 episodes of the series,

all of their personalities suck. Sky is too by

the book. Jack is too loose. Z, she's there,

but again, she'll follow Jack. Sid is essentially...

Sidney is essentially a... Cassidy Cornell from

Dino Thunder. I mean she it's not the same actress,

but she's her personality is like oh, I broke

a nail You know very she's very early Kimberly

working And and bridges just you know bridge

gets stuff done with his weird ways, but I don't

know I just I Don't know I my first impressions

of of the five Ranger characters and this was

just like No, it's just I mean they grew on me

over time, but I didn't care for them I would

say the first 10 or 12 maybe even 15 episodes

of the show. Yeah, I was I won't I don't know

I'm happy with I'm happy with the characters

and everything and the way the way that they

went about There's obviously some stuff that

I don't like but overall I think I think I I

do I do definitely like them Yeah, we're talking

about their suits or whatever Not to jump too

far ahead, but how amazing are their SPD SWAT

suits? The SWAT suits are great. I will say that

this is one of the worst battleizers we've ever

had. I'd rather have giant feet than have something

just barely even there. I don't even really know

what the hell Jack's Battlizer was supposed to

be. I mean, it was essentially a mini version

of the SWAT uniform. I think my favorite character

overall, it's partially because she's hot, is

Kat. Is Kat Manx. She is hot. Yes, she is. So

we also have, oh, and this is the first, this

is the very first series or season in Power Rangers

that I know of that a child has said, I will

see you again someday and has come back to become

a ranger. If you remember. Yeah, I didn't like

that. Well, I liked it because if you remember

in MMPR, the movie, Fred was like. Fred Campbell,

the Silver Ranger. No, Fred Campbell, the Gold

Ranger. And then we never got anything else with

that kid. And then as you said earlier, you know,

you adjusted and he grew. Whereas this you have

Sam, who was the kid and he, you know, went off,

did whatever. And then they brought in that whole

future timeline thing where he's just a ball

of energy. Yeah. And then it was revealed to

be him. I like that. I thought that was kind

of cool to see that. I think it was just. Don't

know I thought it was I thought it was lame and

boring because they could have I don't know they

could think they could have I didn't have a problem

with it being Sam I guess but they why was he

just a ball I don't understand that because he

said it in one of the episodes when When they

open that time portal to get the the samurai

villain out Remember? Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no,

like I I know the story I'm saying I just think

they could have made that a different person

instead of making him Sam or whatever. I don't

know. I guess it doesn't matter one way or another.

Yeah. But I did love Sam's Ranger outfit, costume,

whatever you call it, suit. Yeah. Yeah. It's

very, very awesome. And then the Nova Ranger,

she only appeared in the very last episode, so

there's really nothing to talk about with her.

Yeah. As far as the allies, like I said before,

you had Boom. Boom is essentially cat's lackey,

I guess. He's the tester. Yeah, I enjoyed Boom,

especially when he became a ranger. Like when

he was the fake ranger or whatever. Yeah. That

was awesome. I loved that episode. With his parents?

Yeah. Hell yeah. It was pretty cool. You have

some supreme commander Fowler birdie You have

sergeant silverback You got piggy. I was a big

fan of a silverback Yeah, silverback is essentially

doggy in a monkey suit because I yeah Well, I

mean, I'm not I'm not saying that as a bad thing

I'm like when I was watching it again, and I

was like wait a second That's the same voice

as Doggy. Is that the same actor? And it is,

I believe it is. Is it really? Yeah, I think

so. He was portrayed... Okay, Sergeant Silverback

was portrayed by John Toy. And we're... Nubus

Doggy Krueger... Yeah, he was portrayed in suit

and voice by John Toy. So it's the same voice.

I don't think it's the same person, obviously,

in the suit, but it is the same guy doing the

same voice. Right. So that's that is pretty cool.

I did like that Piggy is the Balkan skull combination

I guess Piggy's a little gross and a little weird.

I loved his character. I liked how he was just

Piggy was out for Piggy. That was it. He's that

he's that anybody in the back. It didn't matter

Yeah, without he was out for himself and himself

only was he was kind of entertaining. I liked

how He how mad he would get when they would all

come to his shop and all his The customers would

run away and leave. That was always fun. Yeah,

that was always funny. Ally Samuels, who is the

daughter of the owner of Samuel's Clothing, who

Jack found one day loading up her truck with

clothes. And then you have Doggie's wife, Icenia

Krueger, who is supposedly dead until the last

episode. For the villains this time around, we

have Emperor Grom, who looks like a green version

of Skeletor. I mean, just his head. Not his entire

body, but just the way that he... Carries himself

he reminds me of Skeletor Mora slash Morgana,

which this was weird to me what is like they

never really explained the story of Why You know

In the show they never explained the story of

why at one point she's a little girl And then

why is she returned to an adult form blah blah?

She reminds me of the chick the little girl reminds

me of the girl in the first Resident Evil movie

Oh, I haven't seen any of those And you could

tell that the team up episode was recorded before

she was small because she was normal size She

was like she was small and then in the team of

episodes. She was like normal size and then the

next episode she was small again yeah, so it's

like Oops. Yeah. I thought it was an interesting

way to be able to make monsters just like Dino

Thunder. They had the genome randomizer. I thought

that was really cool. Essentially, Mora is a

mini Finster, but she's not really that... I

guess instead of... Okay. well yes they had to

get two actresses but i guess instead of um...

i guess as far as story wise instead of having

two different characters uh... they essentially

use two actresses for an adult version and a

child version of the same person uh... which

i guess kinda makes sense i don't know uh...

and you have the other main villain of the uh...

of the series uh... broodwing i love broodwing

broodwing was awesome broodwing was definitely

awesome broodwing kind of reminded me of um what's

oh god what's the what's the machine empire's

uh... flunky's name um... oh i don't remember

that God, the one with the Irish accent, Clank

or Clonker or whatever his name was, the one

that would swing Orbis around. Oh, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah. I know what you're talking about.

Yeah, him. I don't remember his name. Yeah, I

think it's Clank. It could be wrong. People will,

you know, berate us for it later. But no, Broodwing

reminds me of him, but Broodwing is a much darker,

devious, he's essentially a bat arms dealer.

Is what he is. That's exactly what he is. Yeah,

and I absolutely loved it. It was it was great

Very very cool Omni to me is essentially the

MacGuffin of the entire series. He's mentioned

maybe three times And then he comes in at the

end Because because throughout this whole series

I would say for the first and I could be wrong

but the first like 20 -25 episodes or so you

just think that Grom wants to take over the world

or Grom wants to take over the universe and then

they start putting in this storyline in of this

Omni and he's preparing for the great malevolence

and all this and I'm like really? That just didn't

make any sense to me whatsoever Yeah, I see I

see where you're going. I I yeah, I got you.

Yeah, I mean, you know if you're gonna have Like

like if you're gonna have a great power cut you

know it's it's kinda like uh... lord said with

uh... on through his father's name i can't think

off top my head uh... you know it's kinda like

it so i get it if you are we had rita and he

had said that he had read his dad you know one

is more power each one is more powerful than

the last one if they had done something with

omni in like the very beginning like if they

had started saying about oh well you know my

my master plan isn't done yet or my master's

plan isn't done yet if they had started that

out in the beginning and not just made grom oh

i'm going to take over the earth i would have

liked it a lot better You also have General Bragg,

who supposedly was the one that killed Icenia.

Come to find out he wasn't. And then you get

the Crybots. I love the Crybots. The Crybots

remind me of the... of the Cogs. Yeah, and the

Cogs are sweet. The episode that you were kind

of referring to... Was it was a pretty good episode

when doggie Krueger was like guilty or not guilty

they came up not guilty I was like yeah, that's

neat. That's that's I didn't see that come and

I gotta be honest. Yeah So I was quite happy

with that. Yeah, I love Yeah, yeah, that was

awesome The crybots are kind of like the cogs,

but they dance less and they're less mischievous,

but I liked them. I was I was waiting for the

Rangers one of the Rangers to say when they found

out it was robots and I was waiting for the line

dudes nuts they're robots robots cowabunga just

waiting for them to come out of their shells

oh man the blue heads and the orange heads um

I don't get like it's usually you have Like the

robots, like the cryobots, or the putties, or

you know, tangoos, or insecto, you know, whatever.

You have the mini -minions, and then you have

the monster. Here you've got the cryobots, the

blueheads, the orangeheads, and then a monster

who eventually pilots a freaking robot that Broodwing

would have sold to Grom. I didn't like that,

how fast that was. I didn't like that either.

That's just too much. I mean I know the whole

series is you know on the SPD side is based off

of you know milk you know kind of like a military

police force and I get that I understand why

they have what they have but that villain structure

was just way too complicated yeah And the final

villains, I guess you could say, are the A -Squad.

I mean, they're definitely villains. No, no,

no, I know, but I'm saying the final to cap off

the villains discussion is it is the A -Squad,

because in the very beginning, when they go off

to do whatever they're going to do, Bridge uses

his civilian power to scan their auras, and he

says... Something the effect of their colors

are off or this that and the other thing and

then they supposedly get captured or they disappear

they're missing an action for a good majority

of the entire series up until like the last three

or four episodes and You know come to find out

they are evil I would have liked maybe an episode

Before they showed up at the end. I would have

liked an episode where it focused on what they

were doing and giving us a little bit more info

on them. This is the first Power Rangers series

to, well, it's not the first ever to have a female

leader, but it's the first ever to have a female

Red Ranger. Because you do have the aquatic chick

from Alien Rangers, but anyway. But no, the Ace

Squad, you know, Again, I felt like they were

just there to be there to do the double crossing,

but there was like really no, no real backstory

to them. Like, you know, why is it that they're

doing this? Other than the excuse of, well, you

know, power corrupts. Absolutely. Right. Yeah.

That's, and that's what the reason was. They

just wanted more power. They, the doggy Kruger

and them just want, they, they just couldn't

give them what they wanted. Like I liked how

how everything played out and how there was a

few times when the a squad wasn't around That

you know, they were referred to as better than

the B squad and just I mean They might have only

been in a few episodes But you know, they were

used a couple different times throughout the

season and I really enjoyed that You know, maybe

even if it was just their name is what I'm talking

about I didn't I don't yeah, you know necessarily

like their characters. Yeah but What did you

kind of turn okay, so if you had to pick a favorite

Ranger and a favorite villain who would it be?

Let's see here I Don't I don't want to go with

with Jack. I definitely I'm not definitely not

picking sky I didn't even I didn't really care

for sky at all. I probably wouldn't pick Jack

either. I'd probably go with bridge Just because

F everybody else But yeah, but Or maybe I'll

even go with silverback, but he's not a ranger

my Is would you is piggy a bad guy? Piggy isn't

in between I mean if you choose piggy is as a

character you like her as like a I Would say

he's a he's a go -between. He's not either way.

I mean eventually in the end He becomes a good

guy, so I guess you could pick him. I like piggy.

Yeah Piggy was looking out for Piggy and that

was funny. Yeah. What about for villain? That's

my Piggy, dude. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm picking Piggy

for villain. Okay, all right. For Ranger or,

you know, for Ranger I probably have to pick

Doggy because the entire... series really revolves

around his story I mean yes you do have the other

ranger stories yes Skye's father was a red ranger

get the hell over it he was in the time force

uniform and I guess you could say that the time

force technology gave way to the SPD technology

but I do not subscribe to the opinion that his

father was either wes or alex there's just no

friggin way no i don't think they came on said

that today no but i think people online have

have speculated about it all because he even

had an s p d badge on and that wouldn't make

sense i know it wouldn't make sense those guys

were time force not s p d and i wouldn't make

sense uh... getting into the arsenal what did

you think of the uh... The fire extinguisher

morphers. I don't know every time they hold those

things up Every time the sbd morpher is held

up. I either think of a fire extinguisher or

I can a hairspray Yeah, I mean I was completely

happy with them to be honest with you. It's definitely

not the best It's definitely not the worst, but

they got the job done. I really I really really

really really did like the guilty not guilty

thing Yeah, that was cool. I did I did like that.

Uh, it was kind of like in time force where instead

of killing them They just like froze them Yeah,

so instead of killing these guys or making them

explode Well, actually they did explode sometimes

but anyway, they would just put them in those

little cards kind of like The Phantom Zone for

Superman. Yeah. So I mean just to switch it up

a little bit I was perfectly happy with all those

that was neat And if you really like it like

if you want to tie SPD into other previous Ranger

lore There have been digi cards before You know

the the psycho Rangers were digitized into in

into cards so using this technology in the future

Would make sense if you like if you're gonna

tie every Rangers series from Mighty Morphe and

all in continuity up to now in SPD You know the

cards do make a lot of sense, right? and No,

I liked it. I thought it was I thought it was

ingenious because again it was like uh... waking

in time for that you said you know they froze

on but they turned into action figures almost

like the turn in the in the in the in the many

figures right was here they turn into cards and

they almost look like a poke deck card or you

know insert whatever magic card game you want

to insert but i would i love what the cards was

the villain you still saw them as being alive

because don't do this why are you doing this

to me you know they were talking inside the cards

and i love that i thought it was great it was

like jail exactly you have 52 card deck of people

in jail yeah that's that's so true um uh the

power like power of the swat mode i liked it

um i thought i thought the swat uniforms were

great um Thought it was nice that because this

is a police force That they brought that in and

I really loved how they had to actually go somewhere

to train to become SWAT versus Just here. Here's

your new power. You know, I I absolutely totally

100 % agree. Yeah. Yes, that is that is a very

good I don't even know what the word I'm looking

for here. I agree. Yes Um, you've got the, uh,

the communicator, which is the phone option served

as basic communication, allowing the rangers

to contact each other or the Academy, as well

as some of the Delta rain, the Delta runners.

I. Or as I couldn't stand the wild force phones.

I like the SPD phones. They're cool. What were

you talking about earlier about? Oh, they're

more first. I'm an idiot. Yeah. The morpher is

the thing that they hold out. Yep. Yep. I was

thinking of their phone earlier is what I was

thinking of. Oh, okay. That's probably why I

didn't make any sense. Well, they're more for

their morpher is their phone, though. It's the

same thing for all of it. Yeah. All it is is

that. Yeah, it is. I mean, it is pretty much.

Yeah, it's the morpher is is all of these options.

But but what I was saying was as far as like

the communicator part of it is I like the way

that the phones are in this versus the phones

in Wild Force. I mean, it makes sense and it

looks cool to have these kind of phones. Yeah.

And then you have the, let's see, the Patrol

Morpher, which is the Shadow Rangers Morpher.

It looks exactly the same as the Delta Morpher.

It has the same functions but is colored black.

However, it does not enable Commander Kruger

to access SWAT mode. Well, he doesn't need SWAT

mode. He's the Shadow Ranger. He's a badass.

Yes, that's right. I also... I guess we're not

on episode yet. Go ahead. No, go ahead. Alright,

so the Omega Morpher, the Omega Ranger's Morpher,

the powers it has is Electro Mode, Blast Mode,

Power Mode, Muscle Mode, Hyper Mode, Light Beam

Mode, Charged Up Mode, and the Judgment Scanner.

Um, I liked it. I thought it was cool. But again,

I prefer the the regular five ranger morphers

over The omega morpher. Okay, if you're talking

just the morpher It wasn't too bad. Um Because

it was different, you know, it's obviously not

as cool as their uh, their you know, their morphers

but I thought the powers that Sam had was absolutely

ridiculous. I thought that was stupid how he

could slow down time because You you couldn't

you would never ever lose I mean it just didn't

make any sense like that would be like if Superman

started getting beat up by people with by humans

that could punch because he Sam showed up and

he's like I could do this and I could slow down

time and I can do this and I just beat everybody

and then it then he starts getting his ass kicked

and this is like Where's all these put you got

like 50 ,000 special powers, dude? Yeah, I just

didn't I didn't I didn't like that I think they

gave him too many powers Because and then and

then like took him away from them, but they didn't

even take him away. Just not using them but but

I definitely would not want a a giant handlebar

morpher if I was You know you put wheels on that

thing. It's a bicycle right Let's talk about

the weapons. We always love the weapons. The

Delta Blasters can shoot the Red Ranger's personal

sidearms. They function separately and be combined

into the Delta Blaster combo mode. His Delta

Blasters are alright for a gun, I guess. The

Delta Max Stryker, the blue, green, yellow, and

pink Rangers personal sidearms. Barrel of the

blaster doubles as a sword while the grip serves

as a taser like weapon now That's pretty cool

a sword a gun and a taser all in one right. I

liked I liked Jax Delta blaster just fine. You

didn't like it. I Thought it was all right. I

liked how they they became you know obviously

two different sidearms is what I enjoyed most

yeah, but yeah, the Delta Max strikers were nice,

and so what is the shadow saber? Yeah, I love

the Shadow Saber. That was awesome. I was gonna

say earlier was I loved the episode that Jack

had to have the Shadow Saber to beat whatever

the villain's name was at the time and then...

That's the Samurai, yeah. And Doggie Krueger

was like, oh yeah, FYI, that's not the Shadow

Saber. Yeah. But I thought that was a good episode.

You have the Delta enforcers these powerful guns

associated with the SWAT mode have different

functions Depending on the card swiped and inserted

into them such as containment mode. I liked them.

Yeah I love all the SWAT stuff Yeah, what did

you think of Rick robotic interactive canine?

Absolutely 100 % loved him love the piss out

of Rick. I I like Rick 2 .0 Rick 1 .0 is kind

of like Was perfectly fine with him. I liked

I It's weird that That I I cared cared so much

about a character that really wasn't a character,

you know, I mean he was obviously character We

didn't have any speaking parts or anything But

I really liked how they they used them and how

he was in certain episodes doing certain things

and it seems like you know At least one episode

all of the Rangers had something to do with Rick

Yeah, you know And he turns into the The canine

cannon which is kind of cool Yeah, I could have

done without that, but it's it's whatever because

that means because I understand He's a super

robot dog, but it's like you know There would

be nowhere near him and they would call for any

look. I look Rick's here. I'm being yet But whatever

Yeah And then you have the SPD Battlizer, excised

by the Magnamorfer. The SPD Battlizer was designed

by Cat and Boom. The Battlizer has two modes.

The second mode utilizes reconfigured Rick. Cyber

mode enhances Jack's agility and fighting ability

to superhuman levels and features a sword as

well as some armor. In Sonic mode, Rick completely

transforms into armor complete with rocket booster

pack, sirens, laser, and flaming sword. I like

sonic mode, cyber mode I could do without. Oh,

they were both stupid. They were both stupid?

I hate battleizers, dude. Never once have I enjoyed

a battleizer. They're always too much. It's ridiculous.

I don't like them. I just don't like them at

all. And we've pretty much already sung the praises

of SWAT mode. I mean, that's just, you know...

Power Rangers SWAT stuff. It was pretty damn

cool For the vehicles you have the patrol cycles

the Delta Cruiser the Delta ATV the Uniforce

cycle and the SWAT truck I Was actually okay

with this because they they weren't all stupid

motorcycles, right? At least there was a couple

of different vehicles throughout, you know, like

a four -wheeler Doggie Krueger or dirty doggie

Krueger have a four -wheeler there was a Let's

see, what else did you say? The patrol cycles,

which is the red, green, and blue Rangers. The

Delta Cruiser, standard Jeep, issued to the yellow

and pink Rangers. The Delta ATV, four -wheeled

vehicle, long to Shadow Ranger. The Uniforce

Cycle, motorized Unicycle, belonging to the Omega

Ranger. Which was terrible. That was dumb. I'm

sorry. That was stupid. The Uniforce Cycle was

dumb. A Unicycle? Come on. His... I won't say

it, never mind. Not yet. In the SWAT truck, which

is the armored truck used by the SWAT when they

have the SWAT powers. As far as the Zords, you've

got the Delta Runners. Delta Runners were the

standard Zords of the A Squad until their departure.

The Zords then came into the position of the

B Squad Rangers. Each of the Delta Runners has

a different configuration and all are dispatched

from the Delta Base. They combine to form the

Delta Squad Megazord. This might be One of the

like I know you love the animal zords and you

love the animal mega zords I like I like animal

mega zords as well, but I also like some of the

more technical stuff as well But I did not care

for the Delta squad mega zord. I Agree, it wasn't

big enough it It had no bulk to it. Like it wasn't

like it was almost it was like it had no weapons

whatsoever and just The whole design on the Delta

Squad Megazord just looked like crap to me. I

don't know if I was going as far as saying it

looked like crap, but it's pretty close to that.

I just, I think I hate the robot concept so bad

that I don't know. I just, I mean, I definitely,

I don't want it. How about that? As a toy, I

don't want it. So, and I usually want every one

of them. So it's like, that should explain something.

Yeah, I did love though how It could ride on

Sam's Megazord. Yeah, that was awesome. Yeah,

that was pretty cool The Delta base which had

the Delta command crawler and Delta command Megazord

It reminds me of the Delta command Megazord Reminds

me of the light speed Megazord where they had

the solar panels on and I forget what's I forget

what it's called off top my head, but Yeah, the

thing on the front yeah, yeah chestplate reminded

me of the solar panel stuff from light speed

Yeah I liked it, to be honest with you. I liked

it. I thought it was cool that the entire base

became a Zord. I thought that was really cool.

It actually reminded me of Metroplex from Transformers

G1. Hell yeah. And then you have the Omega Max

Cycle, a futuristic Zord plotted by the Omega

Ranger. The Omega Max Cycle is a gigantic motorcycle

that can be... uh... written by the delta squad

megazord and can also become a powerful megazord

with blade weapons in the official twin line

the omega max megazord was erroneously referred

to as the omega megazord i like i like the uh...

i like the omega max megazord uh... as you said

earlier you know you thought it was cool that

uh... the delta squad Megazord could ride it

I thought that was kind of cool in that episode

when Jack was like here move over let me try

right I thought that was cool we also have the

Delta Max Megazord where the Omega Cycle merge

was with the Delta Squad Megazord I like that

merging I thought it was cool again I see I can

see why Like, I know you don't like the ground

-based vehicles, you like the animals ones, but

I mean, it makes sense for a police force to

have all of these different vehicles and stuff

like that, and it makes sense for most of them

to combine, I guess, in different configurations,

but... I don't know, individually the SWAT, or

not the SWAT, the Delta runners, like individually,

I could care less. Individually, the Delta runners

reminded me of the light speed vehicles, honestly.

It was almost like they're reusing the light

speed vehicles a little bit, the very light speed

vehicles. Right, which kind of reminded me of

that, and it was kind of lame. It also reminds

me a little bit of turbo, and turbo was god awful,

so I just put them together and I'm like, oh,

this sucks. No, they they're definitely better

than Turbo and I and I don't mind them overall.

I just I just always prefer the animals You know,

I don't want Gundam I want different stuff, you

know what I mean? Yeah, so that's kind of where

I stand on that I love the SWAT flyers and I

love the SWAT Megazord I think I think if I had

to pick a favorite Megazord out of all of it

The SWAT Megazord would be my favorite. I'll

agree absolutely I think one of the reasons why

I love the SWAT Megazord so much is because it

reminds me of Lion Force Voltron yeah if you

look at that transformation as they go you have

you have let's see Swat flyer one forms the head

and body, swat flyer two forms the arms, swat

flyer three forms the legs, and swat flyers four

and five form the feet. So it's not exactly the

Voltron formation, but it's close enough to where

it reminded me of it. Right. Swat flyers. And

they also made a gun too, didn't they? Yeah,

the SWAT Flyer Cannon. SWAT Flyer Megazord can

also transform into its own blaster mode for

other Megazords to use, called the SWAT Flyer

Cannon. It is used to finish off enemies SWAT

Flyers 1 and 3 to 5 form the blaster's barrel.

SWAT Flyer 2 forms the handle and trigger. It

can also operate without SWAT Flyer 2. So that's...

Again, they did very cool, different things with...

With the technology and I thought that was You

know really cool of them to figure out all these

different combinations It's not as many combinations

as we had in Dino Thunder, but it was still cool,

right? I Definitely prefer I prefer the limb

switching like that as opposed to building up

9 ,000 different Megazords into one. Yeah Those

Megazords are over 9 ,000! What the hell are

you talking about? Nothing, nevermind. It's an

internet meme where something is over 9 ,000.

Alright, so we're gonna go to Spada with the

Sentai stuff and we'll come back to talk about

our favorite episodes and plotlines. We'll be

back after this. This part has been edited. Ha

ha ha, you'll never know what was actually here.

You would normally be hearing Spader right now,

but he emailed me before I put the show together

and said that he was not going to be able to

do the Sentai for SPD in time for the release,

so we could have either pushed the show back

till he was ready or... uh... or we can release

it without his clip and sadly uh... he said to

go ahead and release it without his clip i do

have a direct message from him on twitter that

he said uh... he asked me you guys are on a speedy

right now correct i said yes the speedy is the

sent a clip i need for episode sixteen editing

cool this is one of those rare occasions where

p r is vastly superior to the sent i Now I was

go I looked at the Sentai information on Wikipedia.

I was gonna try to do the clip I was actually

gonna try to reach out to a couple of the fans

a couple of our listeners to maybe see if one

of them could do the clip but With it having

to go up on the 11th of August There just wasn't

enough time. So we apologize. Hopefully Spada

can be back You know for the mystic farce Sentai

now on with the show We got 38 episodes in this

season. A lot of two -parters. Yeah. In total,

we were talking about this earlier. You were

talking about how there are nine Rangers. In

total, if you also count the A squad and you

don't count the C and D squad and all that, like

you don't count the other cadets that aren't

B squad, between the A squad, the B squad, Cat,

boom. Well, the way I took it was only the A

squad gets to be Rangers, but since the A squad

was gone, then now the B squad becomes Rangers.

So, C, D, D, F, and G aren't Rangers, only the

A squad. No, no, no, no, I know that, yes, no.

Oh, I got it. I agree. But what I was saying

was, essentially, this entire academy is training

people to become Rangers for the future, and

you don't count. The squads below B. You don't

count the CD EFG squads you just count the a

the B Kruger Omega Nova Cat and boom 12 The image

yeah, yeah, there's 14 total Rangers in your

cotton boom as a Ranger from the his dream or

whatever then you got 15 yeah Which is crazy?

Yeah, if you count the Dino Rangers, that's another

6. So that would be 20 Rangers. Or 21 Rangers

if you're also counting Boom. Yeah. That's nuts.

It's awesome, but it's crazy. Yeah. The story

takes place in the year 2025 after Earth was

welcomed to alien beings to live peacefully with

the human race. But peace is short -lived as

the planet -conquering Trubian Empire turns its

destructive attention to Earth. When the Earth

first line of defense, the SPD A Squad vanishes

without a trace, the prediction of the planet

falls, and replacements the B Squad Rangers and

their dog -like alien commander Anubis Dougie

Krueger. When two reformed thieves join the team,

the red and yellow SPD Rangers, tensions threaten

to tear them apart. With the alien threat growing

stronger at every moment, the Rangers must put

aside their differences and go into action as

one. Using teamwork, intergalactic weaponry,

and light speed Zord vehicles to battle evil,

they unite to become one of the ultimate forces

for good. Power Rangers Space Patrol Delta. My

biggest gripe about this series is Like I'm not

expecting like super long episode titles, but

I'm expecting episode titles that grab me and

Some of the episode titles just suck Like like

and I know this is a nitpick. I know this is

a suit I understand this is a super high nitpick,

but like the the first two -parter of the series

beginnings I mean that just didn't Yeah, you

definitely definitely nitpicking here. I know

I know I care less what the title of it's called

unless it's something clever Then it then it

just adds to it, but it never takes it away for

me. Well like well, okay well like a Clever title

for me was a bridged which was a story for bridge

You know shadow when Shadow Ranger came out.

I you know I like that, but you know and I am

I Understand that I'm nitpicking it, but it was

just I don't know You I mean I totally agree

with you. I mean you got idol walls dogged Sam

Sam part two I mean I agree with you that they're

lame, but it's not like not enough for me to

care You know I'm saying Like the intro as you

said earlier a very different way I like how

all these seasons after the MMP are are very

different from each other as far as how the team

is is assembled or brought together right I absolutely

love that essentially Well, you know sky and

his you know holier than thou follow the rules

attitude is like their criminals that's all that

they are where is you know jack and see you were

trying to help you know as you said earlier there's

essentially robin hood uh... but you know there

are you know they're actually trying to help

the poor people in the poor aliens of the city

so i like that whole aspect and i like how zeal

always wanted something bigger Other episodes

I liked was I liked the same story. I thought

it was cool I thought it was cool when he came

back. I like the shadow story The SWAT story

the two Different team ups which were awesome

were awesome. Yes team ups were great Where's

the team ups History was the second one. Impact.

Well, they were back to back, so it was missing

in history, right? Or no, missing in impact.

No, it was... I forget. I forget now. Holy crap.

Well, they were back to back, whatever they were,

because I was like, hell yeah! Yeah. Yeah, they

were you're right. No, I was thinking of reflection

I was thinking reflection was part of it, but

it's not reflection is something totally reflection

as some as a sky story Yeah, you're right. I

think history and impact history and impact.

Yeah, you're right. You're right Yeah, that was

cool because it was so neat but my question about

the team of so is like where in The Dino Thunder

mythos does that take place? I know I know history

takes place after Dino Thunder but where does

like where because when they do impact and they

go back to 2004 it's in the middle of Dino Thunder

and Trent has already become a ranger so that's

my question about impact is where exactly in

between what episodes in Dino Thunder does would

impact take place I mean yes I know it's a time

travel story and you can say oh well there everyone

erased their memories so it didn't really happen

or whatever else but If you're just looking at

it as face value and wondering where it would

fall into the storyline I'm wondering where in

Dino Thunder it would fall into. Yeah, I got

no idea I mean, I know what I know exactly what

you're saying, but I don't think they they look

that deep into it No, and plus like I said everybody

erased their memories So no one would remember

impact So there is that I did like the whole

A squad evil thing I kind of knew that was happening,

but I I did like that and I like the end I like

how it kind of comes full circle What about you?

What are some of your favorites? Okay? The SWAT

episodes were really good The the evil the a

squad it's probably my favorite I really really

enjoyed that even though I wish it could have

been a little bit longer and then the Shadow

part one and two. Because I mean, pretty much

everything is a parter, like a one parter or

a two parter. Now, the stuff I didn't like about

SPD was, one was the Sam's morphing powers or

whatever, where he could freeze time and everything,

like I mentioned earlier. Where it's like he

had all these abilities, but he didn't really

use them I didn't like how oh Well, let me say

this first. I liked how Jack gave his morpher

to sky so he could become the red ranger in that

episode Mm -hmm, and then later on he gives him

back this morpher Jack back his morpher, and

he goes You know you'd be a good red ranger,

and he goes you know what you're the red ranger.

I'm the blue ranger I thought you know what that's

badass Cuz that yeah that dude owned his he's

the blue ranger he He's the blue ranger he feels

the blue ranger is just as important as the red

ranger and the red ranger is just a color You

know he didn't care anymore. He just knew that

he was gonna do his part Yeah, I will say that

they have they the characters do develop and

I do like that like you know sky gets over his

Thing of oh, she's just a girl. I wouldn't follow

her anywhere. You know right You know, they do

get over that and I do like that about it. So

and another thing that I liked was after they

beat the a squad Doggie Krueger said well you

guys are the a squad and they and they're like,

well if it's okay with you We'll just be the

B squad. I love that too. That's that's no different

Than sky wanting to be the Blue Ranger and saying

no, this is me. This is who I am I did not like

however How sky became the Red Ranger? I think

I think we mean you already talked about this

I wish he would have said I Can lead if you want

me to lead that's fine, but I can lead as the

Blue Ranger I don't think they need a Red Ranger

like I understand the Power Rangers you gotta

have a Red Ranger Well, you already had a Red

Ranger for a long time and now he went back to

given close to the homeless people Yeah, so I

just wish that sky would have turned down the

Red Ranger and and showed those four you know

kicking butt and him staying the Blue Ranger

I know I kind of liked it I thought because the

only I mean as much as I didn't like sky in the

beginning because you know he's all about oh

my I have to fulfill my destiny whatever else

and i must be the red ranger i does you know

he had this attitude in the beginning of i deserve

it no matter what level of law which obviously

in the beginning he didn't i think over this

progression of the series he did deserve it uh...

also i didn't deserve it at the beginning like

why not what's the reason that jack becomes the

red ranger Because he wants it so bad that Because

sky wants to be the red ranger so bad. I mean

tennis guy expects it. That's the thing Yeah,

but so because he expects you when you're at

a job for two years you expect a raise Don't

you are you gonna tell me because this guy goes

by the book that he can't be the red ranger?

You know what I mean? He was saying that within

those that within those first episodes when he's

like This isn't the red morpher right or whatever

else and he expects to like he'd like instead

of going out and proving himself and he he already

showed me that he was a sexist picket first when

it when when Kruger asked him would you follow

sit in the battle and he's like no sir she's

a woman you know he had this just horrible attitude

about he deserved it no matter what no one else

you know everybody else wasn't as good as he

was blah blah blah blah And that's why he didn't

get it at first until he, over the course of

the series, learned to work as everybody learned

to work as a team. Right. And I mean, it maybe

it would have been better if they would have

made a bigger deal out of it or something would

have happened where he became the Red Ranger.

But they're like, hey, Jack's gone. Sky, you're

the Red Ranger. OK. You know, I mean, although

I think I don't I don't think it was just that.

I don't think, oh, well, Jack's gone. No, it

wasn't that at all. It was the fact that. Throughout

the series, the two of them have been at each

other's throats about it, and Skye has always

thrown it in Jack's face that, oh, I need to,

you know, you don't deserve being the Red Ranger.

I deserve it, blah, blah, blah. And at the end,

Jack, because he's going, you know, he's moving

on with his life, he's like, here, you know,

you've, you've earned this, you know, that, you

know, you are, you know, go lead this team. So

that's, that's the way I saw it was. Throughout

the entire season each of those Rangers had growth

that they needed to do before they went on to

whatever they were going to go on to do Especially

with sky Yeah, and I don't I don't really care

for I mean great you're helping the homeless

and you're helping the needy but I mean and I

understand that there's no monsters at this time

But don't you think that being SPD is a little

bit more important than making sure? John Doe

has a jacket Well, I mean I will agree to a certain

point that Jack in the last two episodes was

flaking off with his duties and everything else

But the point of it was was what does he really

want to do in life? Does he want to you know

be a police officer and have to? Report to duty

every morning and do all these you know Tasks

and they're not and I'm not talking about you

know fighting mom just like talking about like

Everyday SPD tasks and all that stuff, you know,

is that the life that he wants where he has to

essentially, you know You know answer to a commanding

officer and this that anything and he didn't

want that He wanted to stay he wanted to help

people but he wanted to help people in his own

way And you know, he had to make a life choice,

right? Well, I just thought it was kind of dumb

because he was like, you know, what do you want?

He's like well, I want to help people like Great,

well you're helping people by saving their lives.

You know, you don't have to worry about Joe Schmo

having a jacket if he's dead because the monster

kills him. Right, but there's also the whole

thing of, you know, you can help someone just

by, you know, saying hello to them or, you know...

You can give your help in smaller doses without

having to be Mr. Big Bad Red Ranger and leading

the Power Rangers to destroy... Because at the

point of the ending, yes, there's always going

to be monsters, yes, there's always going to

be villains, but at the point of endings part

two, Grom was gone. You know, the immediate threat

to the world was over. Right. Now, who's to say...

and i don't know because i've never seen mystic

force i don't know i don't know if there's a

team up so please listeners don't you know if

you want to comment and say oh there was whatever

else i have never seen mystic force so i would

prefer to stay away from spoilers because i've

never seen it i want to be able to hate it equally

as i hate some of the other stuff that i hate

but like say there's a team up and in Mystic

Force with SPD and say you know Jack comes back

and you know that's fine but at the end of this

season at the end of this series the world is

essentially saved and of course there's always

gonna be crime there's all you know but the the

immediate you know blow up the world threat is

over and you know he he has to live his life

yeah that's the way I saw it and I'm fine with

that It's kind of like, you know, being stuck

in a dead -end job that you absolutely hate.

But you still have to do it. Eventually, you're

gonna have to make a choice whether you want

to move on from that job and find something better

for yourself. And I'm not saying that, you know,

helping the homeless or helping, you know, clothe

people is better or worse than being a Power

Ranger, but that's all about choices. Oh, lovely.

There's a giant ass bug up in the corner of my

window. Nice. Sorry distracted get the damn things

buzzing around up there What about the music?

What'd you think of the music? We have Ron Wasserman

doing the theme song. We have him back Yeah,

I love the theme song. Yeah, the theme song is

awesome. Hey, what do you hear Mystic Forces

theme song? I love the theme song. I love How

the theme song has worked into some of the battles

I also love some of the just the regular instrumental

music in SPD That it isn't like like if they're

in a battle, but it's not just the theme song

battle It's just a battle that has some background

music in it I like that because I know it's Wasserman's

music and I know he's doing something with it

and I really enjoyed it The music kind of blended

in for me, which is a good thing. Yes It was

part of a scene. It wasn't music in the background.

It was like oh this battle is epic You got the

music, you know, I mean it was like the music

was part of the battle and they're just yeah

He does a good job. He really does Yes It's just

amazing so moving on to the popularity reception

and all that good stuff As as we've said before

it is on Netflix. You can watch it there I know

it's I think it's still on iTunes if you want

to buy it there as well As of right now there

is no news for seasons past Lost Galaxy for shout

factories DVD deal. I'm sure it will Find out

about that in the future because I know because

I follow Brian Ward on Twitter and I know that

he He tweeted a couple weeks ago saying I Can't

wait to get back into doing Power Rangers DVD

work. He really wants to make more sets So I'm

sure shout factory will make more more season

sets of Power Rangers. That would be awesome

There's a video game for this series Yes. Did

not know that. It was produced for the Space

Patrol Delta series and the Game Boy Advance

side -scrolling version which is a simple platformer

involving fighting several foes. From the series

you might fight Trubians on rooftops inside buildings.

This features one level which is the final level

where you play as Shadow Ranger. This game is

a role -play style where you can play with multiple

ranges from episodes beginnings part 2 to Shadow

part 2. That's kind of cool. Mm -hmm. Is this

now I know that there have been other Power Rangers

comics But is this the first one that is a comic

strip? What do you mean a comic strip? You know

about this? No It's in the it's in the script

I'm gonna read part of it, but here Yeah, let's

see. A new monthly comic strip based on the series

appeared every issue of JetX Magazine in the

UK in 2005. JetX Magazine is the official magazine

of JetX, the channel that shows SPD in the UK.

The strip was the first Power Rangers strip to

be written by Transformers writer Simon Furman.

Oh my god, you got Simon Furman writing Power

Rangers, lovely. Collaborating for the first

time in the PR strip with equally popular TF

artist Andrew Wildman, who had previously done

artwork for other Power Rangers strips under

JetX Magazine's previous banner of Fox Kids Wicked.

During the course of the strip, the running subplot

involving a rogue crybot who has become self

-aware and rebelled against Grom. Gradually unfolded,

he would resurface to warn SPD of Grom's invasion

attempt and the final story, supply Jack with

a device that once inserted on the terror would

incapacitate the crybot fleet. Unlike the endings

finale Jack does not leave the team in another

change The Rangers do not decline the position

of a squad in the season rank of a squad was

discarded in light of the previous teams Tarnishing

it with their treacherous ways. So yeah, there

was a whole comic strip based on SPD, which is

I guess it sounds pretty interesting and cool.

I had no idea Alright, so we're gonna head to

some ads from both PCN and GCR and we're also

gonna play some voicemails one from Tyler and

One from a new listener John. I believe his name

is John. I'm sorry if I forget My memory is bad.

I'm old damn it. So we'll be back after this.

www .geekcastradio .com. Good Journey! Anyways,

I wasn't calling with any questions. I was just

saying I wanted to thank you guys for getting

Jason David Frank on there. Because for the past

year or so, I have just felt as if... I don't

know. There's something about the man that I

didn't like. And whenever you guys brought him

on in the interview that you had with him, I

really gained respect for the guy again. I don't

know what happened in the past. I guess it was

just the whole thing between him and Austin St.

John. But, uh... I just... I really wanted to

thank you guys for getting him on the show so

I could, you know, hear him talk and explain

some stuff. And I really, really have respect

for the guy again. So, that's all I had to say.

Keep doing what you guys do. Ah! Hey, guys. I'm

leaving this for from the command center. Great

job. I really like what you're doing. Yeah, keep

it up. pretty much all I got to say, nothing

too major on my mind, whatever. I really enjoyed

your interview with Jason David Frank. I showed

you guys my friend, and they started picking

it up, and along with all your other shows, I've

been getting into TFG One podcast more recently,

and it inspired me to get back into Transformers,

and of course I picked up this Shout Factory

complete series set. and their 20th anniversary

movie. So keep that up. Just all in all, great

job. But I have one congestion slash, I guess

just congestion slash request. When you guys

get to Mystic Force, could you put a theme? Could

you play this? wrong last -minute demo instead

of the actual theme. Please, that theme is awful.

My name's Joey. I'm on ranger board as Deviscator

59. Just thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

This is Daniel Southworth, and you're listening

to From the Command Center. We are back. And

before we forget, the one thing we did not mention

is the Kalish, the Bruce Kalish explosions. a

lot of the explosions in this series again I

know it's a nitpick but you know I posted on

your Facebook about I posted a picture of when

Jack got his battleizer and there was an explosion

it looks like he's standing right in front of

the explosion it looks like the flames are engulfing

him he would not be alive I do think that the

the effects in this series especially with the

explosions are too much they did love some explosions

that is for sure Yeah, I mean it's almost like

Michael Bay level explosions. So there is that.

Rounding out the feedback stuff for this episode,

we do have two new iTunes reviews. You can find

these in iTunes from the Command Center feed.

One of them is from Super Saiyan Ranger. It was

left on July 26, 2012. More Phenomenal, a five

-star review. Great work guys. Love the Power

Rangers since I was five. My favorites are MMPR,

Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, Dino

Thunder, SPD, and RPM. I'm clinging to the hopes

that Megaforce will be better than the disappointing

Samurai. My favorite segment in the show is Spada's

Sentai segment. I always look forward to hear

how different or similar the Sentai is to the

American counterpart. Thanks for making the show

and may the power protect you. And then we have

one... From Oz Lotus, left on July 28th. Good

show guys, Scotty is the sober yin to going against

the raging yang of Mike. One suggestion, move

Spada's sentai review to the beginning of the

show. Waiting for the next episode may the power

protect you. Okay, I don't know if I said this

in the beginning of the podcast, we are not going

to change the current format of how each episode

lays out. Spada's sentai clip will always play

after Scotty and I talk about the characters,

the zords, the weapons, all that stuff. It will

always fall between that and when we talk about

the actual episodes and plot lines. That's the

format of the show. Putting it at the beginning

of the show would not make any sense to us because

when I started this podcast, we weren't even

going to be taught. I hadn't even approached

Spada. When I first told Scotty about the idea

for the podcast version of From the Command Center,

I said, hey, it'll just be us talking about the

American stuff. I figured, OK, well, Spaden knows

a lot about the Sentai stuff. Spade is a good

buddy of mine. I like working with him. And I

figured I would give him something to do to give

you guys more information. But the whole point

of this podcast is the American version comes

first. The Sentai version is second. So the format

of the show is not going to change. And I'm sorry

if people don't like that. I don't think it really

matters. I don't know why they won it first or

last or in the middle. Yeah. All right. Well,

all right. Listeners, tell us why you want Spada's

clip at the beginning of the show. We're not

saying that we're going to change it, but you

know, right in, you can send email to feedback

at geekcastradio .com. But let us know why you

want Spada's clip at the beginning of the show.

If it's a real, if it's a legit good reason,

maybe we will switch it. I mean, but. As of right

now, it's like who cares? What's the difference?

uh... and of course chaotic so also says s p

d is another one that absolutely love and consider

one of the best p r seasons is fantastic story

multiple references the only the most diehard

ranger friends will get an awesome six ranger

this season's writing is so great even big blue

dog alien in a ranger costume can can be outright

bad ass and i think i saw the uh... and it's

other return original p r theme composer ron

wasserman which we talked about Uh, one of the

only weak points that both of the team ups are

less than stellar. I disagree with that. I liked

them. I loved them. Yeah. I, I thought the team

ups were good. I especially liked the history

team up because it was seeing what happened to

the Dino Rangers after the end of Dino Thunder.

with Scotty Cash. Thank you for listening. Until

next time. Oh, and um... To Tyler and John, thank

you for the voicemails. I just now remember to

respond to them. Tyler, we are not mad at you

and your last voicemail that you sent us, it

was too quiet. So that was the only thing that

I was saying was when you're talking into whatever

device, microphone, telephone, don't be like

five feet away from it. Make it so we can hear

you. That was my only complaint about that John

Thank you for the voicemail glad you're enjoying

the show and we will catch you guys in September

with the mystic farce. Yeah Yeah, let the power

protect you Justice is served Rangers, I've called

you together to hear this. Jack Landers has left

SPD. He resigned? But why? He didn't even say

goodbye. Doesn't surprise me. Once something's

over, he's gone. Rangers, for your true courage,

heroism and valor in the face of seemingly insurmountable

odds... I am elevating you to A Squad. Did you

hear me? I'm promoting you to A Squad. No, we

heard you, sir. But, well, we talked it over.

And you know what? We are B Squad. That's who

we are. That's who we want to be. Very well.

B Squad it is. There will be no A Squad. But

there's still one problem. You have no Red Ranger.

You have no leader. Sky Tate, step forward. If

I was to appoint Sid as Red Ranger, would you

follow her into battle? Sir, I'd follow anyone

into battle you felt worthy of wearing the color

red. Congratulations, Skye. You are the new Red

Ranger. Your father will be very proud of you.

Hey! That's our ride home! Goodbye everyone and

thank you for making our future safe. Yes. Goodbye.

Wait Goodbye Sam I'll see you in 20 years. Okay

I'll be there Z Let's go Nova right? Goodbye

my friends You guys need some clothes? Guys,

thanks. Yeah, you might have left SPD, but you're

not leaving our lives. Well, brother, I guess

we both get to do something bigger. Hello there.

Peggy, what are you doing here? Oh, didn't Jack

tell you? I've gone into business with him and

Allie.
