SPD Appreciation

i agree. i loved deka for what it was and I enjoyed every moment of SPD because it honestly tryed to give alot of the old Pre-Timeforce rangers some homage while still being quite intresting at the same time.

And come on. Squad A was probably the most badass None-Good Ranger team to ever be made up for america.

:thumbs:
 
Plus the Red Ranger of A squad WAS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT:thumbs:. I thought it was real cool when they reviled there identities it was real unexpected. Plus Doggie was awsome and the Green Ranger rocked.
 
my biggest complaints about SPD were:

-Lack of ranger interaction. Aside from Jack and Sky, none of the other rangers got real interaction with each other. We got some hints or just there shots but no relationships between them. Doggie DID get one though with Kat and that was thoroughly scuttled. Speaking of which...

-Return of Isynia, This was the one decision I really disagreed with. They should have gone with the Kat and Doggie relationship further rather bring her back. I understand if they had to do it because of the network pressure which in hindsight makes sense but I don't agree with it.

-the Mecha SUCKED. Aside from the Swat Megazord, theyi were unimaginative and kind of bland. SPD headquarters turns into a GIGANTIC megazord, great. Too bad it's equally boring. the Combination of the Omega Megazord and B Squad Megazord had a horribly lazy finisher. Even the Swat, the best of the group, looked out of place with its two handguns.
 
What is this "Kalish" that I'm suddenly hearing so much about?

Bruce Kalisch is one of the Producers of Power Rangers that started working on Power Rangers starting with SPD. A lot of people hate him just out of spite because he was honest and said "no I didnt watch all the past PR episodes"

Plus the Red Ranger of A squad WAS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT:thumbs:.

Jack: You're a girl! lol. The whole A-Squad angle was great. Loved it. Dekaranger was also freaking amazing. If only Power Rangers brought back some battle songs like what Dekaranger had.
 
SPD had the biggest potential of any PR season. What I don't think was noticed was that, besides Ron returning, so did another old MMPR veteran, Mark Hoffimeir, and his abscense from MF and OO has shown.

There is not ONE fan who will say the first fifteen or so episodes sucked, they were the best in terms of production and acting the show had ever been in years. There was a clear, concentrated direction heading into "Shadow", everything played off of one another.

Once Kruger's arc was half-way concluded, they gave it a rest, and unfortunatly, gave everything else a rest, and went into typical "PR autopilot" mode. Padding out filler upon filler with whatever "firsts" the team could think of doing and Dekaranger translations.

A breif return to form came with Sky's arc ending in Jackie's masterpeice "Reflections", followed by the team again "giving up" (Kalish's theme for each season is to always make the Rangers eternally vulnerable and insecure rather than grasp different strengths per episode) and being sent away to train, and then came the mess of the team-ups.

Things again returned to normalcy with the last three episodes of the seasonm, to an extent. There not as good as the earlier episodes, but on scale of AMBITION, this was PR as original as you could get with this team. Granted, a lot of the concepts such as A-Squad were poorly rushed and underdeveloped as traitors, but at least we got solid signs of ingenuity in PR.

OO is the least offensive of the Kalish seasons, it has a story that can be followed, one part of a team-up was solid even if the other was'nt, but the characers are poorly acted save four and are the same irredeemable sods every other seasons since SPD has had.

And people hate Bruce because he told the fandom point blank "you guys dont know anything", when HE became the **** who phoned-in most of his later seasons and showed more incompetance at the job of handling PR than anyone else that had worked for it. Do your homework

That and he made some comments that most of the fandom didn't agree with.

"We're paid to translate the Sentai."
 
The only reason why i like SPD is also the same as why i like Dekaranger : The girls are HOT. Also, i like SPD's Doggie because it really looks like a dog. But the ony disappoinment was Sam and Omega Ranger. I believe that if Omega was given a better storyline, SPD would have been amazing. But overall, SPD was great but not amazing ..

And it's taken out of context. Because he's being honest with the dumb ass "fans" who can't read. He told you, honestly, what their job was. But he did not say that it was his own personal work ethic. He did not say "we're paid to do this and that's what I do." he said "look, we try to do this but we're just paid to do that. So understand we're only paid to do so much but we still try to do more"
