Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always


I used to get home from High School get comfortable and sit and watch the show. It was the highlight of my day and possibly the only reason I got through some bullying. I was challenged a few times, showed up, then see my opposition notice I did and just walk on.  Remember, Bullies are nothing but self conscious low self esteem cowards that bully you just to feel better about themselves.  

   I don’t know what they do in school these days other than tell a teacher or parent, and use your words. I will say one thing; sometimes you don’t need to be physical to ‘punch’ them. You can give them a verbal punch, Kick and slap with a good quip at their expense. or the truth.  

My dad always told me never strike first (sadly its usually the retaliation that’s caught) but I also took Karate, though for a short time but within the first 2 month, while we were punching a board I got either pissed off at it or just overzealous and hit it hard that the black belt holding it went timber!   Ever since that I’ve always been told I don’t know my own strength.

2023

We are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the series which started in 1993 (and this incarnation ending in 1996)
OG Blue ranger David Yost and black ranger Walter Jones and villain Rita repulsa is back with Johnny Yong Bosch (who replaced Jones in 2nd season), Catherine Sutherland, Steve Cardenas and Karen Ashley and welcoming Charlie Marsh as (state side) OG yellow ranger Trini’s daughter.
Sadly this is the first reunion without the beloved green ranger Tommy played by Jason David Frank who sadly passed on Nov 19 2022.

The title is derived from the phrase
“Once a ranger, always a ranger”

One fateful day in 1993, the evil sorceress Rita Replica escaped her space dumpster prison and attacked earth. Five teens with attitude had their lives changed forever when Zordon chose them to defend the planet. In the decades so we man.more heroes have continued their legacy. The people of earth rest easy knowing their home is protected by Power Rangers

(While reading this, on the screen I thought they should have had the star wars scroll going even if it is only a paragraph)

Opens on the blue ranger in the grass, battling putty patrol and Rita repulsa (I’m calling mecha repulsa), tho they call her robo rita Who finally gets one of ‘those pesky rangers’ after they ruin her face, and takes aim at Billy, Trini sacrifices herself.

Rita back with a couple minions snizzard are and Minotaur and
That is one cool looking car omg they pulled a harry potter…

repulse has a machine that can suck out their energy. Ah captures ‘jason , tommy and kim’

Yeah alphas back tho looks odd but better than that 2017 version.
“Bandora protocol” (Rita Castle) In that’s why caps its alpha 8
Lol
Pink ranger. “All these years and they still sound like angry turkeys”

Red? “Then lets carve them up”

Adam and Aiesha are coming from space!!

Well there’s at least one scene in The old juice bar, and Zack does his “hip hop kito”

I will admit, Hearing that first “it’s morphin time” after 30 years gave me the chills and maybe a tear in the eye. (Though it will never feel quite right without “jason or Tommy’ saying it

If you want to be a hero its a selfless act.

Cheesy nostalgic goodness, o my the cg is cheap. Sadly Bulk and Skull did not return either, I missed Goldar, and scorpina) and aside from OG red Ranger Austin St. John (who became the gold ranger at some point,  if I remember correctly) being in the military and the deaths of ‘Trini & Tommy’ what kept the others (Amy Jo Johnson for instance from just at least popping in? also what about the guy that played Justin the young kid that was the blue ranger?  who was in I think the turbo movie)  In a sense Im satisfied with it, but at the same time I feel robbed! I guess due to not everyone being in it (sans the dead. who I was robbed of my fave ON MY BIRTHDAY)   

(I do have the original episodes recorded on VHS  after all) 

Netflix’s Power Rangers reunion tease is nostalgia at its most bittersweet
Original Black and Blue Rangers Want To Return To Tell More Power Rangers Stories

Heads up… as of May 2023   I am working on a Classic Cuts for the Power Rangers ENTIRE SERIES.

I am re-watching the original series as we speak, Once I am done with the first season (or few) I may post my Episode listing, with a summary of each episode, monster and whatever reactions, comments etc.  Some of the stuff (videos) on here, may also be included there as well. 

               

          Dec 1973   –  sept 2001              sept 1973  –  Nov  19 2022

Watch “Power Rangers Once and Always would have changed with Tommy Oliver” on YouTube

Fire country


Max theriot, billy burke,  Diane farr,  kevin Alejandro

Max plays  bodey a prisoner up for parole but is denied, however has the opportunity to work at a correction camp learning to put out fires ��. Unfortunately its where hes from and does not want to be there.

I think the actor that played the VAMPirate Benny in supernatural is the cop on the bus.

When they are learning to clear vegetation, one dude freaks out 'theres a bear'  one guy's face is so red his head could be  mistaken for a Guinness world record sized grape. 


Good drama,  pace, cast  
Highly recommend 

Episode 8
A speeding hit and run gets  the fire captain (Bodie's dad) stuck in his past. While  the camp's  cap  Is not seeing things straight either.  What to do when both leaders are incapable of doing  so? Reason with, go over head or jump into it?

This will not just leave you hanging but the end gave me a fit. Very tense and best of season so far.

The episodes keep getting better, for those that like love triangles theres one in this. 

Reginald the Vampire


Reginald the vampire
Jacob batalon (spiderman)  van peebles

I like the retro look to the slushie shack.
Maurice shows up at yhe shack.
When reg takes out the garbage he asks the higher powers for a refund, when Maurice shows up and heard part of his  1 sided convo...  He enthralls him (better known as vamp glamor) into asking his coworker crush out.

  Some fellow vamps pop in that have beef with Maurice. Something about defiance..

Love the hair pick "trick' 

One 'rule' (unwritten?) Seems a vamp needs permission from individual to turn them.

"Reginal director sent them with a list of complaints, poss. Sanctions"

"Vampires are not real theyre just a stiry" 

*Can still eat regular food
*Body tells you when it needs the blood
*Superspeed (lol)
*Still breaths and sweats but what makes vampire alters the functions  of the body's systems, and the reason for fast healing, so  all your organs still work.
*basically just an excellerstion of your essential nature.
*Enhancements of a vampire are realative to the condition the body is in at the time of of the change. "The body you die with is the body you have forever".  Dieting is no longer an option. "Being a fat vampire is going to cause probs in the vamp community" may not be welcome and posse a threat to him

If you always do what youve always done you will always get what youve always got -henry ford

*Vampires cant glamor ither vampires
* "I'm yourmaker, i know everything about you"

* Cry blood
* Share blood powerful connection. "Wherever you are i know where you are, whatever you are feeling i feel it too"

* One day your whole life will just feel like a dream, a lucid dream.

*Big no no to leave your feed behind (may get your heart literally ripped out)

* Speed read, or photographic memory
* Can veuns and the blood flowing through

2 the hunger

Reg learns to feed, needless to say it does not go well


*Vamps wont die from not feeding but some  major inconvenience (s) will come of it

* As long as cover every part of the body, can apparently go in sun

*Vamps cant glamor other vamps

* Reginald has a   'superpower' according to mike and Maurice. (That super smart ir memory thing hes got) 


Angela stops in on Maurice. So is she vamp queen region head or what?

* His fangs seem to have a mind of their own 

'im a vampire not an asshole'

Ok one consequence not feeding... a finger fell off
Another when woke up in morn his eyes are black and red 

Angela sends an invitation to Maurice

"Perfection is what keeps our nation safe. Hes an abomination...."

 kilt guy is a vamp and wow �� reggie has one serious unique talent 

3 hypnos

 end of last ep Reginald glamors a vamp which theyre not supposed to be able to do. 
Rescuing his sire. Find out he glamored the guy to make some sirt of breakfast

Has to do some assessment thing to be accepted . A booklet at least 100 pgs long, that he did not read before signing.

The other employee of the shake shack has figured things out between satah forgetting and their boss being like a pod person

A couple of angela's cronies on her orders follow reg on a date with sarah. 

So do we ever get to see....

∆Logan the desegunator  will be at assessment. 

∆Nikki who brings death and destruction wherever she goes....

A little back story ...sorry flashback to  Maurice in his fledging days. He fed on a cop. So they leave but before france...


"Portland overcast is our umbrella ☔"

 To visit and see his mom one last time
And why he and Angela hate each other.

5 fools in love
Angela hires an infamous vampire assassin to aim at Reginald.
     Mike         Helps reg with his training
Maurice shows up at Reginald's place 
Sarahs brother adds a soap opera subplot (for lack if a better term)
And sara abd teg have a date at a karaoke bar.

6 halfway to a three-way

Reggies training is taken over again by Maurice, and reg has a visual joke   for us.
Angela tho mad  is oddly calm about Reginald being alive. However she has her own way if dealing with it, and reggie still has to learn to read contracts before signing (at least the page you are signing) 

Nikki is trying to win over Reginald 

7 the last day of our aquaintence 

Starts with nikki singing and looking for reg. Sarah looking for him, and reggie her but freaked out about night before.

So far we have seen at least 2 versions  of same day I'm guessing well get sarahs too? 


8  The odyssey
Reg leaves home to find  legendary vampire Abraham whose power (also legendary)  is able to turn a vampire back to human

A vampish spin on xmas carols  ghost of past and present 

Resurrection able went killed kane and res. Kane and a never ending loop. Able light kane dark. 
How aberaham became an archangel vampire??????


 "Politics will make you a monster"

9 no one dies for failing the SATs
Forgettable 

10 thunderdome

Time for assessment 
Some stupid tests that have (or so seem) nothing to do with being a vampire. 
Finger trap of sorrow pass
Carrying a wasp nest from one podium to anither without being stug

The claw if impossibility and the stupidest of all.  The claw game. Yes the one you win stuff animals and various toys from 

3 f bombs in a matter of 5-10 minutes!!! Still when did one  start to be ok on syfy channel!?!?
And Reginald is far more wiser than the ancient one

Some parts a bit corny cheese cant decide which and yes theres a dif. To me. 

Vamps dont fly
Holy water no work
And can eat garlic 

Urial one of seven  (angel)
And we are your makers (of vamps) 
To eradicate a grievous mistake we made 

Deacon of Americas

Season 2

 

Entertainment advise: Spoilers


All credit goes to Entertainment weekly, But instead of rewriting it I thought I’d include what actually inspired this post.

You can just don’t spoil twists, ending or ‘deaths’ and that sort of thing.
Some like below would say 24 hours but with DVRs, I’d say give 3–7 days; however if you are speaking directly to a person ask them if they watched it before you discuss the show.
When I write a review I try to think if something will ‘spoil’ watching the show or movie for someone. If I’m not sure I’ll try to just give a hint (and maybe tip toe around it) without ruining things like Oh loved the twist, but I don’t say what it is, thought the fact there is one is sort of a spoiler but you are not giving anything major away.  While cameos are sort of spoilers, sometimes I do mention them especially when I get jaw droopingly surprised. (I don’t impress easily so if it does then I can’t always help myself, otherwise I’ll just mention maybe that there’s a cameo (if I recognize them) I MIGHT say a show or something I know them from but try to resist mentioning who. (think of it as playing where’s waldo? I’d rather find them but sometimes even when I know they are in there, they are sometimes blink and miss them)

The Cleaning Lady


This gripping new show  kills and thrills. 

Thony (silent H) formerly a doctor in her native Cambodia, now undocumented worker in the U.S. Vegas specifically. She is the cleaning lady. (Nice code name for a spy right?) She’s a dream with a mop and brush and can get any stain,  especially blood out of anything. She and her family left the philippines to get treatment for her dying 5 year old son. With an expired visa and the donor backed out of their deal, what is she to do? How is she supposed to help her son?

The Witcher


See the source image

Whoever made the poster thanks for the butt shot! What I want to know is the Wolf symbol in the top left of it, well that I can figure what its supposed to be for, as they call Geralt of Rivia the white wolf (mmm going to get on the right side and be in a Marvel movie?) But there are other symbols through the show that are like that and i’m not sure what they are supposed to mean/represent.

I love Henry Cavill, but know nothing of the books or games or which came first. I remember in an interview I saw of henry he mentioned he was currently reading one of the books, but that was so long ago I don’t think it was an idea for a series or movie that’s how many years ago I remember it. I have followed Henry’s work since the Tudors. Seeing him with the ‘Pumpkin Pie’ colored eyes… looks more vampire to me than a ‘witch’

First thoughts… Well if that isn’t an entrance I don’t know what is! FIrst I’m sitting there going AWWW over the cute deer creature then Surprise!!!!

Day of the dead


Not sure how to start this one off. I was able to watch an early viewing after the premier of Chucky.

Starts off slow trying to build the story (or is it just to force suspense?) Do it too long and you end up losing your audience.

Don’t worry though, You don’t have to wait for the 2n or 3rd episode before the dead come back. They start emerging in the first episode.

After watching 2 episodes so far, the show DOES have the feel of the old Romero movies (if not constantly in certain parts)

The 2nd episode had a few things in this which were a bit funny (unless it was just my morbid sense of Humor…)

This will be an ONGOING review as I watch I will update if needed with any thoughts and notes.
