Mighty Morphin' Grownup Fans

I just started watching Lightspeed Rescue (Hooray for Netflix instant streaming!) and I had a couple of questions.

-Where does the fanon that Kelsey/Lightspeed Yellow is a lesbian come from? I'm fine with that reading of the character, especially after watching "Race to the Edge", but I was wondering just what started it.

-Where's the Chad/Carter? I couldn't help noticing the way Chad was all over Carter in an episode, so yeah. Feel free to point me towards any of that.

Okay, so.....yeah. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to let an idiot with a graffiti-effects program loose on the episodes, but it was so horribly distracting that I couldn't even finish an episode.

Please please please, don't let them decide this is the version they'll release in season disks.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to let you know about a great multi-fandom roleplay on LJ called hearts_andminds. It takes place in a village inside a pocket dimension where your character comes to live and interact with other people. Active and friendly and there are often plots to get involved in!

There is a Billy and Kimberly from MMPR and Andros from PR: Lost in Space. We would love to see more power ranger characters!

-Are there any parody fansubs out there other than the ones done by FiverSubs? I loved their version of Boukenger Task 7 and I'm looking forward to watching their takes on Magiranger episodes after I get caught up on that.

I'd love to know if there are more out there.

-What exactly are those clear cans of soda(?) that are served at Jungle Karma Pizza all the time? I've never seen anything like them before.

You're getting Power Rangers Dino Thunder: The Complete Series, Ninja Storm: The Complete Series, SPD: The Complete Series and Mystic Force: The Complete Series this summer.

If you're thinking of importing, you will need a region-free DVD player. Lek and I have one (possibly two) and the chance to have all of Dino Thunder on proper DVDs is extremely tempting. Frustrating after buying the five DVDs that Disney saw fit to release here, but very, very tempting. (Also tempting are the German DVD box sets of old school PR, but the audio issues with some of those releases makes them not nearly as tempting.)

I hope that Disney will notice how many people in North America are importing these and smack their foreheads and go, "Hey! We should release these in Region One, too!" But this is Disney we're talking about here, so the best we'll probably get is all of Jungle Fury on DVD, just like Operation Overdrive.

I watched all of Power Rangers Jungle Fury that's aired so far this week and I have to say, for me, this is the first decent (sometimes almost good) Power Rangers series since Dino Thunder.

Yes, the characterization and writing remain frustratingly inconsistent, but the Rangers (and just about everyone else) are so likeable that I'm willing to overlook those problems.

So I'm in a pickle and need some help. Anyone remember the original speech Zordon gives Alpha 5 in the pilot, right after Rita Repulsa escapes? It's not "teenagers with attitude" or I'm pretty sure it's not. Zordon says something heroic and Alpha 5 stomps around and whines "Zordon, anything but TEENAGERS!"

I could really really REALLY use that speech, I needs it for a story. I can make something up, but it'd be better if I could get the actual speech.

Thanks!!!

Does anyone know of good, reliable non-torrent sources for older Power Rangers episodes?

I know about Rangerboard and have managed to get quite a few episodes from there, but my attempt to get Lightspeed Rescue was denied because the links were dead.

...help?

I was checking the stats for my site tonight, and one of the main ones I check is "recent keywords." One of the recent ones was "zedden," which of course, leads to a few stories, since Ellen and I have been writing about Jamie since 1994. I was curious to see what else would come up with that, so I did a search myself.

What I found was surprising. Two different sites, both with a home domain page advertising MMO credits, one for Eve Online and one for FFXI, with sub-pages containing snippets of fanfics. Ellen confirmed that some of them were bits from her Trial Arc, but others weren't.

The sites are http://www.ffxigilstore.com and http://www.eveonlineiskstore.com If you wait for it to load, then use "select all," you'll see a line of itty-bitty numbers under the main image, links to the sub-pages. ffxigilstore has at least 50 sub pages.

It's somewhat surreal...for one thing, advertising gold farming with no way to contact or order. Also, the whole snippets of mixed fics on sub-pages. Trying to fill a domain? Any ideas?

This just weirds me out.
