30 Days of PR, day 5

Day 5-Favorite Female Ranger

4. Rose is the pink overdrive ranger, and a genius, probably one of the smartest rangers in the show's history. with the ability to turn invisible. She isn't ashamed of her intelligence, despite what the finale says. The fact she can kick ass as well makes her even better.








3. Vida is the pink Mystic force ranger, expect a lot of mystic force characters to show up in these lists. She's a DJ who's not afraid to get into a fight. She's also the only ranger to complain about their colour, yet she accepts it by the end of the series.





2. Tori is the Blue ninja storm ranger, the first female blue and the first female to be on a team, I'm not counting the aquitians. She's also one of the strongest members of her team, and the voice of reason of the ninja storm rangers. Easily able to hold her own against the other rangers, both Shane and Dustin admit she hits harder than either of them she's one of the best females, unfortunately she's beaten out by.











1. Jen the pink time force ranger, and the first female leader. She may be a bit abrasive but she always gets the job done and she does it well. One of the toughest rangers, let alone females, easily deserves the number one spot.

30 days of PR, day 4

Day 4-Favorite Male Ranger

Okay this is hard because there are a lot of awesome male rangers, so I'll do a top 4. Also I'm not including RPM rangers or sixth rangers because I've already talked about the RPM rangers a lot and I'll talk about the sixth rangers when we get to them in two days.

4. Xander is the second Australian ranger, the first being Kat, it is interesting that there are more alien rangers than non-American rangers. Xander is someone who I shouldn't like, he's cocky and a womaniser, but he's also incredibly lazy, always getting the others to work while he just lazes around and that's part of why I like him. The other part being that he's awesome, his first reaction to being confronted by the mooks of the season he simply tries to talk to them, that requires bravery, naturally it never works but it's never not funny.

3. Dustin, the first yellow male Power Ranger. But more than that he's a comic book geek, which gains him a lot of bonus points, he's also an airhead who's smarter than he let's on. The fact he's funny is just the icing on the cake.







2. Chip The second yellow male ranger, he's also a comic book geek, but what puts him above Dustin is he's a huge fan of the supernatural which comes in handy when your team deals with the supernatural once a week. He's also a hugely loyal friend, as shown when he sticks by Vida when she's turned into a vampire, and loyalty is a very good trait.





1. Bridge, really this guy is one of the greatest rangers of all time, annoyingly it's difficult to describe why to someone who hasn't seen SPD. Basically he's psychic, well kind of, he can detect auras and read minds when he wants to. This power however has made him slightly crazy, he's less insane and more quirky but he's not all there. For instance he can't say the word buttery without wiggling his fingers and he thinks best when he's doing a handstand. He also has a tendency to ramble a lot, of course these ramblings are usually hilarious. Basically it's this that makes him one of my favourites rangers because despite all this he's intelligent and really great at breaking down criminals, all he does is talk a lot and they crack.

30 days of PR, day 3

Day 3-Favorite Team

RPM, what you were expecting something different?

Well this team is easily my favourite, everyone of the main five rangers is on my list of favourites and Gem and Gemma are just fun.

First is Scott, who in my opinion is the best red ranger of the series. He's ex-military and has problems with his dad not treating him with the respect he deserves. Oh and his brother died before the season which really didn't help with his daddy issues. But none of that is why he's awesome, I like him because he's able to know when to disobey orders and go out and help and when doing so would just lead to more danger. He actually thinks things through, though he has a tendency to rush off into battle, he is a power ranger after all.

Ziggy, well Ziggy would probably be my favourite ranger. The guy's hilarious, and really just wants to help people. He even develops over the course of the series, from a guy who shys away from fights to a guy who can stand up for himself and kick ass with the rest of them.

Flynn, like Ziggy he's hilarious and like Ziggy he really wants to do what's right, both have a very strong sense of what's right. He is however different to Ziggy, for instance Flynn is a very competent fighter, and also very intelligent, in most teams he'd be the Tech support.

Dillon is a badass, he's one of the strongest rangers in the series, he sarcastic, and he's best friend swith Ziggy. Really that's enough for me to love the guy. But there's more, he has a past so mysterious even he doesn't remember it, besides the fact he has a sister, and he's slowly being turned into an enemy thanks to the electronics venjix put in him.

And rounding out the main five is Summer, a badass biker who can hold her own against the guys. she's easily the least developed of the group but really I'm okay with that because she's awesome and personally the other's interest me more than her.

The sixth and sevent rangers are Gem and Gemma, they start off as completely awesome people who finish each other's sentences have the social skills of a five year old and an intelligence to match Dr.K's. They do however start developing into their own characters as the series progresses, though the series ends before they can fully develop seeing as it will take years of therapy to recover from being kidnapped as a child then spending years having to defend yourself from attacks by monsters. Also they get the best kill of the series, they use explosives to blow up a MOTW, no really they don't even morph, they just plant the charges and blow it up, and this is the same robot that gave Scott and Flynn trouble when they were morphed.

So yeah the entire team is awesome, and they all work really well as a team, and that's why they are my favourite.

30 Days of PR, day 2

Well it may be five minutes to midnight but that's still two days in a row so far.

Day 2-Favorite season

RPM, really if you've seen it I shouldn't need to explain why it's awesome if you haven't, well then why not? But seriously this series has everything, humour, drama, a plot that can actually suprise you, and probably the best cast of actors ever on a power rangers show.

Every single ranger is awesome, from the leader with daddy issues, to the scottish mechanic, to the badass biker chick, to the badass loner, to the hilarious comic relief, to the boom time twins. Their mentor is a teen genuis who, has serious issues thanks to her childhood and rounding out the cast of good guys is Mason Fuckin' Truman.

The villians are, well they're your standard Big bad and generals, well besides Tenaya who is part android part human and all snark.

That's not to say that it's perfect, but it's as close as Power Rangers can ever hope to be and really would have been a perfect ending to the series. The worst part is a behind the scenes special, done with everyone in character, though as that was needed due to budget problems I can't be too annoyed at it.

30 days of PR, day 1

Let's see if I can manage a post a day for 30 day.

So this is something I found on the internet and decided to use because I'm bored.

Day 1-How did you get into PR?

Well I joined the power ranger bandwagon pretty late, about three or four years ago actually. See I'd been taping repeats of season 1 of Lost that were airing at midnight and one day I decide to watch what's on next, and the theme tune to Time Force, which kicks ass by the way, was on. For some reason I decided to watch it and to my surprise it was really good. I've been a fan ever since.

WWE Smackdown! Live part two

After an intermission we got a triple threat match for the intercontinental championship between Kofi Kingston, Drew Mcintyre and the current champion Dolph Ziggler. The three of them all cut promos before the match but nothing new or interesting is said. A very good match, which considering the competitors was to be expected, naturally it started with Drew and Dolph teaming up to beat on Kofi, who eventually took them both out with a double clothesline from the ring to the outside through the ropes which was made more awesome as he landed on his feet. Then it become your typical three way fare with Drew and Dolph taking it in turns between being out on the floor and fighting with Kofi, eventually Kofi get the upper hand and hits an amazing Boom drop on both competitors where they're lying next to each other and he jumps over both of them and spins around to hit both of them. Shortly after Kofi hits trouble in paradise on Drew before Dolph throws him out and gets the win and keeps his belt.

The next match was Jack Swagger vs Big Show and while it was funny when Big Show copied Swagger's tendency to do push ups in the ring it was an easy victory to Show and not much happened.

The penultimate match was Th hart dynasty vs Joey Mercury and Luke Gallows. The Hart dynasty started off well being able to take control of both competitors before Luke powered up and the SES took control. Naturally the hart dynasty eventually turned the tables and came a way with a win. This was a really good match, and probably the best of the match, though I still prefer the final because it involved Rey Mysterio.
