Was channel surfing yesterday when i saw that power rangers was starting. i thought: ok i havent watched power rangers in a long time... lets check it out. then BAM! turns out it was the legendary forever red episode. Score!

anyway after the wave of nostalgia faded, i came to the awful realisation that the acting ability of ur average power ranger sucks. were the lines always that cheesy? was tommy and jason always so stiff? i always remembered the acting as being at least passably below average... or maybe its just that the collected acting might of all the red rangers is pathetic...

there were some cool scenes though. like when they all morphed they morphed together in quick succession with all the morphing scenes from different sseasons. one guy even morphed out for 5 seconds so that he could be part of the morphing scene. well... almost all of them morphed anyway. there's this one guy who was permanantly stuck in the costume (real actor couldnt make it?) so at the end of the rest of the morphing scenes he just struck a pose.

interestingly enough... i dun rmb seeing rocky. after reading wikipedia, i found his excuse stupid. "retired from acting?" c'mon this is a tribute episode, at least make a 5 min appearance.

the fighting scenes and everything was cool tho. i had almost forgotten how good they were. there were some moments of jacky-chanesque "kicking of hech man through the gap below a desk to hit other henchmen behind" moments and lots of john woo/matrix "somersaulting and diving while firing, dodging laser blasts" moments. i was actually surprised at the increased number of gunfights... which would make more sense than having a gun but deciding instead to use ur fists/plastic sword.
