Mod Post - Brief Hiatus
Happy Chanukah! It's the second night of Chanukah and we're very busy at the respective households of your mods, what with celebrations and planning and traveling and family and friends and everything else that goes along with the holidays.
Due to our busy holiday schedules, we're going on posting hiatus until next year.
We hope you all enjoy your holiday celebrations, whatever they may be. We'll be back January 2013!
Thursday, March 22, 2012
So happy 3 year anniversary of Ranger Recaps, guys! It's been a heck of a ride so far. I'm looking forward to the next five or so years! In celebration of making it three years on this blog, we're doing something a little different. For this recap, we watched the first episode of Saban's VR Troopers.
I haven't watched this show since it aired. And now I remember why. Technology really doesn't work that way. It doesn't now, it didn't then, and I don't think it ever will or could. That pretty much sums up the episode. It's Tron meets Power Rangers, minus the coolness of Power Rangers and the super awesome subtle messages of Tron (for the record, I LOVE Tron, one of my favourite movies... did the technology storyline WAY better). It even has the Daddy-Stuck-In-The-Computer Angsty-Son thing, only done very very poorly. Oh, and JB is really super hot. That's about all I got out of this show.
In keeping with the chatlog theme, here's what we talked about during this episode.
TSB: This themesong is SUCH an earworm
QR: oh the theme song
TSB: also, Ryan Steele? STILL HOT
QR: really?
Oh look! We start off with Daddy Angst!
TSB: HE HAS SO MUCH
QR: He does.
He... is not really my type, actually. I don't find him exceptionally attractive.
Although, DOG! IN A DOJO!
TSB: I just approve of all the sparring
I am glad that this didn't end up a JDF vehicle, though!
QR: this is something all Saban's shows should have more of
there. HE is so my type
TSB: JB IS ALSO HOT
QR: THIS WHOLE CAST IS PRETTY
oh the fashion!!!!
TSB: YESSSSSSSSSSS
AHAHA WOODY
One day
I will convince someone to write me the fic where Kaitlyn hangs out with Lois Lane
and reporter!Kimberly
QR: she should!
that fic needs to exist
How old are these guys supposed to be?
TSB: college, I think
QR: nice bikes for college kids
TSB: it's never really explained
QR: piddly little protesters
I actually kind of like that skirt...
ARMS
Why is JB not showing his arms?
TSB: That... is not how demolition works, really
hi Ryan's arms
QR: poor iguana
they don't like being held like that
TSB: I love Zitkor and his ridiculous iguana
Speaking of things that don't work that way, VIRTUAL REALITY
QR: that... is not how virtual reality works
hah
OMG LOOK AT THE COMPUTER
TSB: YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY? COMPUTERS
QR: shhhhhh
OH THE DRAMA
NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS OMG
TSB: NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENES
SENSE EVEN
Although I love Grimlord's design
QR: yes!
This is like Tron, only without the super clever subtle messages
it's like they tried to make Tron into Power Rangers, and it really failed horribly
TSB: I've never figured out how the monsters cross back and forth
like, I thought they were confined to virtual reality, mostly?
is virtual reality supposed to be an alternate dimension?
or?
QR: I have no idea
TSB: And who thought the dog was a good idea?
Also, who thought those SHORTS were a good idea, KAITLYN?
QR: the dog is clearly smarter than the rest of them
TSB: I approve of Ryan's hair
I just need to point that out
QR: ha
TSB: wait, if they had to cross the bridge, how did they find the gateway?
QR: portal or gateway? IT"S A BIG TRIANGLE
TSB: How has nobody else noticed the portal?
QR: It looks nothing like a portal or a gateway
TSB: WHY WOULD YOU WALK INTO A BIG TRIANGLE THING
QR: maybe part of a Stargate, but not a whole gate
WITH A DISEMBODIED VOICE
TSB: .... I want the Stargate AU
QR: the blinky lights! This is clearly scientifically advanced because there are LOTS OF BLINKY LIGHTS
TSB: Really, a guy in a computer is talking to you, and "WHERE'S MY DAD" is the first question?
QR: THIS IS NOT HOW THIS WORKS
TSB: my first question would be "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?"
Is this supposed to be the internet? Or something?
QR: this is... I don't know what this is supposed to be
TSB: if he's trying to break through the barrier, HOW IS HE ALREADY SENDING THINGS THROUGH?
And how did they know there would be 2 friends?
Those suits? Still the ugliest
QR: this show makes no sense
TSB: nope
but Ryan has great hair
it is floppy
QR: and JB is super hot
TSB: Yes
I really want one of those necklaces
QR: hahaha
TSB: they're pretty!
Man, he's a worse mentor than Zordon
QR: you'll know everything if you just know the morphing call!
he sucks
THIS IS RIDICULOUS
TSB: You know, when I was a kid, I didn't always notice the repeat footage in PR
But I REALLY noticed it in VR Troopers
QR: I rarely did
half the time I still don't, honestly
they were far less careful with this show, I think.
TSB: well, they were also combining 2 shows into 1
QR: were they really?
TSB: they did a much better job with Beetleborgs
yep!
QR: I was never as big into VR Troopers as I was with Power Rangers
my things were Power Rangers and Mystic Knights
TSB: Ryan came from a show with a solo hero, and JB and Kaitlyn were hero and sidekick, I think?
QR: wow
TSB: that's why they always split up
QR: I see
OMG THE COMPUTERS
It goes to show how boring that fight was if we spent the whole time talking about the origination shows...
oh no, cliffhanger!
TSB: Oh no!
QR: I'm sure he'll be fine

Anniversary Recap 1 - Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Episode 1
Three years ago today, and I decided that we should start recapping Power Rangers. We honestly didn't think we would finish the first season. But now, we have recapped 311 episodes, and we're midway through season SEVEN. Only 400 episodes and counting to go!
So today, we bring you something different.
The first episode of the 35th super sentai, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. (Which will hopefully be adapted in 2013? PLEASE????)
Since it hasn't aired in the U.S. yet, we'll place this behind a cut. You get two recaps with this - first, an actual recap, and then our chat log.
So, we open up on a GIANT INVASION OF EARTH. Epic fight is epic, okay? And 34 freaking teams are there. There are really not enough words to do this thing justice, so I'm just going to link you to the clip. Each team gets to show off, and I just... my love of this fight can't even be explained. And if you've been reading for a while, you know I usually don't care about fight scenes. BUT THIS. Anyway, we watch the 34 teams use their powers to defeat the invading Zangyack, but of course, evil never entirely goes away, and they eventually come back, except this time it doesn't look like there are any sentai to stop them.
Introducing, our crew of pirates!
Captain Marvelous: He who lives up to his name and has a great coat
Joe: the secretly sad inside first mate
Luka: Thief and badass
Doc: Needs hugs, fixes things, secretly awesome
Ahim: Is Batman. Also, a princess.
We find out that they're searching for the greatest treasure in the universe, which is apparently on Earth. On their way, they get attacked by the Zangyack advance fleet, and we get a great battle, which includes them cutting a ship in half. Also, the CGI is pretty damn impressive.
Oh, and the villains are all amazing. They don't do a ton in this episode, but they will. And we find out that the invasion fleet is being run by the emperor's son, and I'm just busy flailing about things that will happen later, because I have SO MANY FEELINGS about this season. Look, I have as many feelings about Gokaiger as I do about Always a Chance. FEELINGS.
The Pirates all land on Earth, and they and their awesome bullhorn start interrogating the people, who claim to know nothing about the treasure, which makes all the pirates sad inside. Marv forces Luka to sell one of her rings, and she is not happy about it, but it gives them a ton of money. Poor Doc is sad, because he wants to go out for a nice meal, but instead Marv decides that they should go eat some cheap curry rice in a place that has something to do with Sun Vulcan, but I still haven't watched that season, so I'm not really sure! I hope in the adaptation its at the youth center. Just when Marv is about to get his curry, the shop gets all blown up, and he has a sad.
They go outside to discover that Earth is being invaded, and the pirates all continue to have a sad about it, because they clearly have seen this happen before. But they don't do anything about it until the monster of the week is threatening some tiny children, and that is just not acceptable. They get to do a dramatic entrance with their awesome slow-mo walk and badass coats, and then they morph and we get some AMAZING weapons work (weapons switching, showing off their individual fighting styles) and then we get to see them use the powers of other teams.
BECAUSE THIS IS GREAT.
The first thing they use is Goranger, which was the first sentai, and I swear people have explained the football and trash compactor thing to me repeatedly, so let me see if I have this right. The thing is a pun? The football attack is supposed to be what they fear most, and the Gormin is a pun on trash, so it turns into a garbage truck and takes out the trash? Or something? Whatever. I am sure it will be an MMPR thing when it is adapted. And the Gorangers have great capes.
Then we get Shinkenger (Samurai!) and Magiranger (Mystic Force!) and with that we get our first genderswap, and it is all pretty great. The Gokaigers use the FINAL WAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE to destroy the monster, and everything is amazing.
Tiny children are all "thank you for saving us!" but Marv claims that he only did it because he didn't get to eat his curry rice and he was in a bad mood. The Gokaigers are all SO GREAT and I have ALL THE FEELINGS.
BEST EVER.
QR: I love how dramatic it is right off the bat.
OMG LOTS OF EXPLOSIONS
TSB: Seriously, this is how you start a season. Shit blowing up, invasion, and ALL THE FUCKING RANGERS
also, the design for the Gormin is great
SERIOUSLY, LEGENDARY WAR FOR A REASON. LIKE

TSB: I wish
QR: SPACE CANNONS
TSB: STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP
and then they fucking CUT THE SHIP IN HALF. It would be better if they did it with a sword hat
but
QR: Also, spaceships that look like sea-faring ships? TOTALLY PLAUSIBLE. It's not like you need to worry about aerodynamics in space.
TSB: I WILL TAKE IT
QR: SWORD HAT

QR: mee to

QR: haha, anchors away right in the middle of a building and THEY SO DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK.
TSB: I JUST LOVE THAT HIS NAME IS CAPTAIN MARVELOUS
LIKE
THAT IS JUST PERFECT
QR: His coat is almost as great as Joe's hair, so it all works.
TSB: and the bullhorn is great too
Ahim, you and your super polite self, keep on accidentally insulting people <3
QR: Ahim is so sweet! She's all "Lowly person, I will speak to you so sweetly you'll like me anyway. Now I can have allllll your treasure, right?"
TSB: She is great
QR: She is AMAZING
TSB: LUKA <3
She just needs to top Doc forever
QR: DOC'S SUSPENDERS ARE HANGING DOWN. How did I never notice this before?
Honey, EVERYONE needs to top Doc forever.
TSB: Luka is so upset about her ring <3
EXCEPT GAI. DOC TOPS GAI
QR: Okay, I will accept that.
Except sometimes when Doc lets Gai top. Because it makes him happy.
TSB: I love all the villains
Oh, Walz Gil, please continue throwing hissy fits forever
QR: I like that there is no easy fix for them either
TSB: Luuuuuuuuuka <3
QR: Marv is all "piddly amount, but whatever". Way to show disinterest over A FUCKTON OF MONEY
Doc is all about the food.
