I've lost some respect for some of the production crew of MMPR today.

Mad more respect to David Yost man.........and it sucks how the production crew did David dirty like that.

Haim Saban has most likely fixed up the issues on that by now, but then again some of us shouldn't be surprised of the intolerance of the MMPR production staff.

I mean, this kinda parallels with all the "racial sterotypicing" controversy concerning the casting of the MMPR cast with the Black Ranger "being black" and the Yellow Ranger "being asian."

David Yost is a great guy, I'm glad we finally know more of what happened and all the rumors about him were untrue. You can tell he really did love the show though. Too bad, I don't see him returning to the show now that Saban owns it again, but can't say I blame him as I wouldn't do it either. You can also tell he was very good friends with all of the cast members, at least the originals, after knowing this some of the comments Jonny Bosch made about David Yost now make more sense and it wouldn't surprise me if he was homophobic.

Didn't know JYB said things about him.

At least David had the strength to accept who he is, and how to face things head on. I applaud him. It's unfortunate he had to leave under such circumstances, and I probably would've done the same. There's no reason for those producers to target him because what they believed might've been true. All these things were said about him all these years, only because he wasn't around to defend himself. Now we know. Hopefully he'll be more open and accepting, and hopefully the fans return it.

It hit Us Weekly's site as well. It's both neat and weird that No Pink Spandex has become a newsbreaker on this topic. Must be a slow news week on the Internet.

Was going to say, this is going to make promoting the upcoming season a bit awkward, not to mention this weekend's Morphicon.

I actually heard the news about him being gay this morning on the radio.

It's sad to hear how he was treated. It honestly makes me want to not watch Power Rangers.
