This was just the only time they bothered to use it for MMPR. It's just too bad they couldn't use another shot of Goldar and Scorpina getting blasted a little heavier than just being blown down like that. But they already used that shot of them getting hit by the "Thunderbolt". There was at least one shot they could've used with a lot more sparks after the duo were hot. But I digress.Cam Farr Superstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18022728760653657536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-65394345757814561302020-04-12T05:27:59.956-05:002020-04-12T05:27:59.956-05:00This now really the only time that you can't b...This now really the only time that you can't blame Saban for Sabrina Lu not returning. It turns out that she had other filming engagement with the WB and her original actress (Ami Kawai) was not willing to be shipped over so they had to shelve her.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14451627400431725002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-85062085153111538452019-02-15T23:00:55.404-06:002019-02-15T23:00:55.404-06:00Bulkmyra and Skellerina are pretty cute.

And it is my thinking that the reason Bulk and Skull are so terrified of them is because for Bulk to date Skellerina would be almost like if he were dating Skull, likewise if Skull hooked up with Bulkmyra. For them, it would not only be weirdly incestuous, but also weirdly homoerotic as well. I could be totally wrong, and it's probably not what was intended, but like I said it's just my own theory. Cuz if you take that into account, it certainly does add quite a bit psychologically to Bulk & Skull. <br /><br />It's a shame those chicks didn't stick around, I thought they were kinda cool actually. <br /><br />I remember this episode very fondly, and also being impressed that they brought back Scorpina, even if it was just for one episode. And again it's a shame they didn't bring her back more often because Scorpina was also a fan favorite, but that was largely due to the attractiveness of the actress that played Lamie on Zyuranger. <br /><br />I also rather liked the characterization given to Adam of him being shy and unsure of himself when it came to girls. I identified with that very much because I was very much like that growing up, I was a shy, sweet natured guy but unsure of himself. So it was nice to see that portrayed on the show, and it was also nice to see Adam grow out of that so by the time we get to his reappearance during 'In Space' to lend a hand to Carlos, we see him as a fully confident adult whose leaps into battle to lend a hand even without his Ranger powers and even risks his life to utilize a damaged Power Morpher in order to help his friend. shaddoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400096410561608599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211974119538419891.post-21089799207230169372016-03-23T05:42:32.534-05:002016-03-23T05:42:32.534-05:00I saw some interview with the actress on Youtube w...I saw some interview with the actress on Youtube where she said that as far as she'd have been concerned, she'd have come back anytime because y'know, when starting out in the business and you gotta pay the bills, you never turn down a gig. But she never heard anything from them, so either her agent didn't pass it on to her or the production team never got to the stage of contacting her. Or lost her number, which wouldn't surprise me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
