Isn't that like the third Dino-based Sentai?

As well as the theme for the next Vs. movie.  Cause Go-Buster was so boring, they decided to give them not even billing in the cross-over movie and bring back Abaranger and Zyuranger to team up with Kyoryuger.

Ironbite-apparently Go-Buster was so bad it needs 4 sentais to balance it out.

I'm glad I never got into Power Rangers/Super Sentai/Whatever because I could never have kept up with all the different incarnations.

The only one I really recall is the first series when I was getting up to go to school.  Had Zordon the floating head, and a witchy-looking woman with cone-boobs was the antagonist.

I watched Power Rangers for a short time when I was a little one.

I lost interest shortly after discovering Batman the Animated Series.

A part of why as a kid I lost interest in Power Rangers. I didn't liked the new incarnations.

I loved watching Power Ranger as a kid.  MMPR, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo...

After that, I unfortunately ended up losing track of the series.  I caught some episodes here and there but ultimately failed to keep up with the series.  Part of it was I had trouble remembering which channel and what time the show was on, and so forth.

I didn't pick it back up until... SPD.  And I watched Dino Thunder and Ninja Storm at the same time as that via reruns.

Oh god SPD was surprisingly great.

Was SPD the one with the lizardy-dog guy and the cat woman?  If so, yeah, it was better than I expected it.  Actually saw a few eps of those.

Yes.

It was also one of the few Power Rangers where the team was openly the Power Rangers, as opposed to teenagers with attitude hiding superpowers.

Then again they were also military police, so it makes sense.

Cruger/Kruger was less lizardy in the Japanese version, actually.

I will say that Linkara made a good point about how some of the Power Rangers didn't get enough characterization (mostly the Pink Ranger) but I still loved it.  Even with the silly "explosions appearing behind people" thing that was the trend.

I have vague memories of rooting for Rita when I watched the show in the early 90s. Wikipedia tells me that she's now the "Mystic Mother" or some shit, so I'm rather disappointed.

They only did that because it was the same Japanese actress with the original Rita (most of her early scenes were straight from the Sentai, as was the scene with the "Mystic Mother") and it supposedly their way of paying homage to her since she died.  Or something along those lines.

Though the show did have an excuse since she turned good LONG before Mystic Force (in fact it was part of the finale of Power Rangers in Space - Zordon died and pretty much sent out an evil-killing wave.  Zedd and Rita had the evil obliterated out of them but survived since they had actually helped the Power Rangers several times in the fight against the villains that displaced them.  They also turned human-like, I believe)

SPD was adapted from Dekaranger which really...had no plot to it.  Just a bunch of police stories and how Ban could be stupid.  Thank god SPD had Grumm, one of the best Power Rangers villians ever to unite the story.

Ironbite-And now he matches!

Yeah I keep meaning to go back and refresh myself but I keep procrastinating by watching other things I've watched a bunch of times.
