VIDEO – Does This Woman Eat The Skulls Of Children To Survive?

The question is in reference to an old Rangerboard meme regarding Tracy Lynn Cruz (she who played the Yellow Chick in latter-half Turbo and entire In Space) and her seemingly ageless appearances in which she needs to feed off skulls of children in order to maintain such youthfulness. Tracy didn’t answer the question because it sounds stupid… but then again, who could blame her? It’s such a stupid question to begin with…

Then again, you knew it had to happen sooner or later… just like this one time when someone asked Austin St. John about his alleged gay porno career that he never had so shut the fuck up, son. Jason will fuck you up, motherfucker. You hear me?

JASON WILL FUCK YOU UP, SON.

Power Rangers SUPAH SAMARAI!

Old news, but Nick is set to start airing the new season of Power Rangers Samurai in a week or two. But it isn’t just Power Rangers Samurai, but rather Power Rangers SUPER Samurai… because they’re super, you know… why not stick with plain old Samurai? Adding Super in there… I don’t know, it sounds less like a title for a new season and more like a title for a new Super Nintendo release… SUPER Samurai… meh.

I guess I better catch up and start watching me some vanilla Samurai. Good thing it’s on Netflix Canada.
SUPAH SAMARAI… yeah, how does the theme song work there?

Netflix Canada gets Power Rangers… some of it.

So a couple months ago, I signed up to Netflix and for the most part, I like what I see… however, I was a tad disappointed that there was no sign of Power Rangers on the Canadian side of things, since Netflix in the US has most, if not all, of the seasons on their side… Power Rangers on Netflix is the only reason why I bothered with the service to begin with… but at the very least, I’m getting some use from it. For example, they have the theatrical versions of the first and sixth Star Trek feature films, thus eliminating any need or urge to get the recent DVD compilations which contain these things. So I’m getting some use out of Netflix…

Then I fire up my new Western Digital TV Live Streaming device and enter Netflix and what do I find? A nice dose of Power Rangers… not all eighteen seasons, but the classic stuff; all of Mighty Morphin, the Alien Rangers storyarc, and all of Zeo. They also put the recent Samurai season, along with the three specials… which is good, since I now have the means to watch Samurai.

So yeah… thanks, Netflix Canada.

199 vs 40

Interesting premise they got going on there… the entirety of Super Sentai and the entirety of Kamen Riders in one film? Not quite sure how they’re going to handle such a large cast of characters, but I can see why this might enticing to some folks.

Just remember, kids. Regardless of how good or how shitty it was in your mind, only one thing can be said with absolute truth…

 Power Rangers did it first.

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Zeo #1 (Image Comics)

Image Comics got their hands on the Power Rangers license and only managed this; their only Zeo comic that was going to be the first chapter of a much longer story. And then… things fell apart and we didn’t get new Power Rangers comics until the Saban Powerhouse things the following year. It’s a shame, because out of all the Rangers comics up to this point, this was probably the best of the bunch.

It does the best job of giving us a primer on our main characters without going into ten pages of pointless exposition a piece, it gives us a predicament for our heroes to overcome, and then it tosses in our A-plot of the Machine Empire ravaging Master Vile’s domain because Zedd kept the Power Coin energies and now the Rangers have to claim that power back. All the while giving Billy a plot point about the faintest possibility of his powers being restored… even though he voluntarily stepped down because he wouldn’t look good in a skirt.

The real tragedy is that this was a solid first chapter of what would’ve been a compelling little story if Image played their cards right. The plotting was good, the characters are somewhat true to form, the overall artwork is quality stuff – even if Billy has his old glasses that he stopped wearing mid-Season 2 – and it didn’t feel like the usual throwaway licensed drivel. Hell, it doesn’t even look like the roughshod crap that usually came out of Image at the time. The fact that I’ve got this much to say about this one issue says volumes about how good it is.

Maybe someday, a deal can be worked out so that the Bierbaums will be able to continue this where they left… but given the state of comics afterwards – both in terms of Power Rangers and in general – my hopes aren’t high in this regard.
