Power Rangers Time Force 15 Years Later Episode 6, "A Parting of Ways" review

Jen calls Wes a great Red Ranger. There's some humor. Wes seems comfortable. Jen's somewhat in character, somewhat not.

Mr. Collins states that one day Wes will take over Biolab. There's some father son moments here.

Kids get captured on a bus.

YTF should Mr. Collins pay the ransom. You have the police, Time Force can manipulate time, Wes can't sign a check? Wtf is Ransik going to do with 2000s money? Especially after what Bush did to the economy? Why don't they just short sell Bear Sterns?

Then again, Collins does set up the Silver Guardians later anyway, so shows people he can do that kind of stuff.

Baseball bad guy is the monster of the week.

Also, they didn't sign the check?
Also, why would these guys pay in a check? What if the check bounces?

Also, the bad guy of the episode just showed why you shouldn't have paid them in the first place, so Wes looks like a fool.

Where is the money in the children's orphanage going? How many will it feed? Did Wes ever go to college? Maybe Jen was right about him being given everything.

Power Rangers Time Force 15 Years Later Episode 14-15, "Clash for Control, Part 1 and 2"

The Hammond character I would've liked used more especially since in the last episode they actually do go back in time.

I like the Time Computer Trip uses

I'm also wondering if there were any union issues, reasonings for not bringing back Jason David Frank and Austin St. John for this episode. probably just Saban being Saban.

Eric goes after Wes.

Also, in retrospect, I don't like them shipping Wes and Jen, there's so little time with the two of them together, that although the actors pulled it off later, it seemed like it wasn't well built up.




Mr. Collins uses Wes to get to Eric. Collins wants Megazords.

Q-Rex time limit.

Eric discusses Wes being jealous of Eric being the Quantum Ranger. It's a bit dark in that it's a lie that isn't true. But it would've been darker if that was true and Wes portrayed that.
Eric lead the Time Force Rangers.
Mr. Collins meets the Time Force Rangers. He's manipulating them.
How would Wes know that they wouldn't join Collins? Wes knows him so well.

Spoiled rich kid talk is annoying and stereotypical.

However, the cheesiness of the fight works.

The monster is campy.
That's what's teamworks' about.

Jason Faunt saying "yea, sure does," although lacking energy, actually made it seem more convincing.

I see some Abarekiller mech design in the Q-Rex Megazord. There's some cool stuff about the zord, that you don't witness unless you see the show unlike the Zyuranger mechs which look cool with no knowledge of the show.

Mr. Collins in the end takes control of Eric, and Eric completely immerses himself in that decision.

Is it really in Jen's character to make a joining with Mr. Collins character?

Power Rangers Time Force Episode 11 "Uniquely Trip" 15 Years Later

I like how they introduce him, although late as a nice alien/mutant despite Ransik being a mutant. Heck, Ransik's a bit cartoonily evil in this season, to the point, where he has no real allies. Although, that was the enjoyable part of his character. This does hurt the message of him fighting for mutants though.

Trip makes some friends with some kids.

They fight an energy draining monster later.

I also don't know what to think of them allowing kids in on the stunts.

Them wearing Trip's hair was too fourth wall breaking.

How Power Rangers Time Force relates to the Western World 15 years later

The show is about technology and the horrors of it.
The ability to engineer time travel and create.
Racism as illustrated from mutants.
A Les Miserables-like lack of sympathy for criminals.
Genetics and genetic engineering.
Pharmaceuticals.
Being replaced by robots and being afraid of it. Why not just let it be?
Big corporations inherited by rich kids.
Corporations that can hire RoboCop OCP like armies and manufacture weapons, all for money.

Jen Scotts can be interpreted in two fashions.
For feminists, she is a woman who is capable, suffers great loss, and shows great strength.
She loses a man he loves
She has multiple friends who can be mutants: Trip, with a gem on his head and natural green hair, Katie with super strength and possibly even Lucas, who can drive every possible vehicle.

For anti-feminists, she is a bit of an idiot, who is a power authority. She loves a man basically because he looks like the man she used to love, yet both men are completely different. She also originally accussed the man of being a rich guy who never did anything, despite the fact that she's from the future. She could've recalled hearing of a rich guy like this knowing martial arts and admiring him for. She also could've just researched it, having future technology. NOPE.

There may even be a reasoning behind why they do jobs for money, when Wes has all the money he wants.
However, she does make the good point that he doesn't even have a position in his dad's company, so what the heck did he do exactly?

Katie is strong yet isn't treated differently for it. She's embraced, even if she is the one doing the strong embracing.

One of the good guys is a racist.
One of the bad guys wants revenge for a hate crime from his act of love, an act or robots.

Kamen Rider Black RX's ending

I was really oftput by intro of R/X, as it really didn't seem to fit Minami Kotaro's character.

Then again a comical Minami Kotaro gave the actor a lot more acting to do. He wasn't quite the it's Golgom's fault trope, but he didn't really do much in the show.

So I skip to the ending and am pleasantly surprised.

I don't even know if Amazon is canon to his actual character, but at least it's more of the idea of Amazon than the actual canon of the character, something Decade fans have forgotten.

So anyway, Jak is defeated after being stabbed in the eye, despite R/X stating he was manipulated by Crisis Emperor.

The Crisis Emperor in the end attempts to enlist R/X as a member of Crisis to prevent a loss of Earth. M denies this after Jak's defeat and then attempts to kill R/X only for Crisis Emperor to stop her, if you know what I mean. Then R/X meets D, who reveals that Demon World was actually a duplicate Earth suffering from the Earth's pollution. Later the Crisis Emperor, who states that even if Crisis is defeated, they will reemerge and fights R/X, who states that it is Crisis' corruption

So the ending is actually very sad for multiple reasons and interpretations.

1) it's not revealed whether Crisis comes back or not.

2) it is the end of the Shotaro Ishinomori era of Kamen Rider, which who knew was going to happen then.

3) This gets adapted into Saban's Masked Rider.

4) Pollution from Earth destroys Demon World because R/X defeats Crisis Emperor. What happens to Earth then?

Kikaider live action reboot 2010s review

Overall, it was a decent blockbuster. The plot was so heavily based on the original though, that it fell in comparison, but the production values were really good a la The First.
