I watched through Power Rangers in Space on Youtube because I found all of my old Power Rangers toys. It was alarming how much of it I remembered. Firm memories of being terrified by The Barillion Sting are still lodged firmly in my mind. I was also scared of Ecliptor in The Impenetrable Web. It was a really well made series. I've had a few conversations with my mum about how well the story is written for a kid's show.
I was saddened to learn about Power Rangers being made from Super Sentai series, though. What used to be my favourite show wasn't really what used to be my favourite show. It was a group of English scenes filmed to tie together Japanese fight scenes that have been dubbed English.
Because I enjoyed PRiS so much, I thought I'd watch Power Rangers Samurai because is on Monday mornings here at the moment, so I can watch bits of it while getting ready for school. It's ridiculously similar to the old series. The only difference is that when the Megazords turn away from the defeated monsters there is no longer a jump before the explosion.
