I'm an avid Power Rangers watcher and have been since 1993 when it was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers with Jason, Zak, Kinberly, Trini and Billy as the teens that Zordon gives the Ranger powers to.Rita is the biggie baddie and she decides after numerous attempts to stop the Rangers to fight fire with fire and having a green ranger power she brainwashes Tommy. It's a long story but in the end Tommy loses his powers and what he does have left he hands over to Jason who is the red ranger. Now I have to say by this time I was rather fond of Tommy and cried myself to sleep that night thinking we were losing him forever.
But keep in mind this was really a show for kids, hmmm maybe not eh? and things are not always what they seem.
Meanwhile Rita our baddie brainwashes Billy and the rangers lose their power except for what Tommy had passed on to Jason.
Zordon gives Tommy the green ranger powers on a temp basis and he manages to defeat Rita, thank goodness. It was all very exciting and evoked a nail biting, hiding under the blanket session, only to peek around the corner to see if we were winning.
The tear jerker for me came when the White Ranger was introduced and it was TOMMY!!!!
Jason, Trini and Zak head off for a peace conference and we are introduced to the exchange of powers with the Rangers and get Adam, Aisha and Rocky.
Kimberly's time comes to an end and she leaves also to pursue her other interest in athletics and we get Katherine who had caused no small amount of trouble while under Rita's spell.
After this comes many incarnations of Power Rangers. Some I really like and others I can take or leave.
Presently I am watching Power Rangers Dino Thunder and was really not a happy bunny when it ended abruptly last year with no resolution to what Mesogog is doing or was doing.
Luckily I had a day where I was not busy at 10am and lo and behold there they were! My Rangers fighting the good fight with Dr. Oliver who by the way is Tommy all growed up and everything.
The reason for all of this rambling on PR? Today was a cute one. My rangers were watching a show of themselves that was from Japan. At first Connor was put out and huffing but soon he was just as caught up in watching as the rest of us and at the end he understood the message. Granted Japanese television is hoekie and stupid for the most part with exaggerations all over the place but watching the rangers watch themselves was fun.
In the picture you see a white ranger but don't mistake him for a good guy, he's not. Mesogog is a collegue of Tommy's named Anton Merser. He is Mesogog. He is also father to the white ranger, who was a nice guy at first and then was made bad or really baddest of the bad.
How will it end? I don't know but I'm pulling for the team as you can imagine.
Tommy or Dr.Oliver now.
