Power Rangers S.P.D.

This has been one of my personal favorite seasons of the Disney-era, next to Dino Thunder because it actually does hold up because of the story and the amount of character developments among the B-Squad. Now, if I had some major complaints, then I guess it would have to be the idea of splitting the team-up between the SPD rangers (B- Squad) and the Dino Thunder Rangers into two individual episodes, instead of combining them into a two-part episode, traditionally, Morgana reverting back to Mora, and Dr. Kat Manx not being the SPD Kat Ranger for one more battle. The amount of "Kalishsplosions" being used in the season, Gruumm having the "Christian Bale Batman" voice and the Omega Ranger being a "ball of light" are just small potatoes, to me.

Other than that, I actually enjoyed this season. Highly recommend it for newcomers.

"SPD, EMERGENCY!!!"

I can't believe those who prefer the supremely cheesy original Power Ranger shows. It must be the bias of youth and not wanting things to change. Actually I am a bit guilty of this as well since the newest series "Mysitc Force" doesn't float my boat like SPD. Disney now has Power Rangers Generations, and I cringe every time I watch an old show. I have even remarked to my husband that Power Rangers have come a long way.

My son absolutely loves the show. We watched one of the final episodes this morning. It definitely created some tension with the evil forces taking over headquarters, and the A squad defecting to the dark side. I am hoping that a sixth DVD comes out with all of the SWAT mode episodes!

My almost 3 year old and 9 year old and I watched a few times on Jetix/ToonDisney and enjoyed it. This is my first exposure to Power Rangers and I was impressed enough to buy all 5 DVD's for Christmas. The plot lines and action are OK, and there are values taught within them. If you look at it from the target audience point of view its a good show. I haven't grown tired of watching the DVD's thus far and we've only opened 2 of them. Once we open the other 3 for Christmas the rotation will allow for many hours of entertainment. I even shelled out 150 bucks for some action figures, morphers and gun toys for the boys. Mystic Forces will be starting soon, It looks entertaining as well.

S.P.D. is one of the best seasons since Time Force without any doubt. After a long time do we get to see so many characters with multiple dimensions. That Mighty Morphin era of good vs evil is now a thing of the past thanks to S.P.D.

The season begins with the introduction to the main characters: the rangers, Emperor Grumm, Broodwing and Piggy. As the season progresses the characters develop to an extent that everything falls into place at the end.

The Red and Yellow rangers who started as street Robin Hoods discovered themselves and their true potential as Rangers. They realized the difference they could make by getting involved in something big than resorting to petty crimes.Initially ignorant Jack, the Red ranger learned to appreciate friendship and teamwork.The Blue ranger, who we see as being disappointed and jealous of not being red turned out to have a reason for that. It's not about power but because his father was one of the best Red rangers ever! The Green ranger, who we were introduced as being the goof, turned out to have some cool abilities such as psychic ability. The Pink ranger is not just a pretty girl this time. She came from a rich family and was definitely privileged but decided to join the SPD in order to do something challenging. The Commander, an alien from another planet, has his own tragic history in which Grumm destroyed his home planet and took away his wife.

The bad guys are not just bad but they are "good" bad guys. Grumm's goofy yet devious portrayal places him with Mesogog and Lord Zedd as one of the best villains ever. Grumm's history with Commander Crueger adds an extra dimension to the conflict. Broodwing, a mercenary who served Grumm at the beginning had his own agenda. Piggy, an absolute opportunist and a double agent, was integrated so well in the story that despite his limited screen time he was an integral part of the show.

That was just the characters. The story, zord fighting sequences, the team ups, countless cameos and references to the past season is a true treat to all fans young and old. This season was the only one in my opinion that actually responded to the fandom in so many ways that no other seasons have ever done before.

Overall, S.P.D gets an A+.

Power Rangers SPD is one of the BEST Power Ranger series, since the show's debut in 1993. The series has a promising sci-fi storyline, VERY, VERY cool theme music and dynamic characters. The five rangers are a very awesome cast. The casting directors definitely got the right people. "Jack", the red ranger and his longtime friend "Z", the yellow ranger were like robin hood-like thieves, but decided to become part of something bigger, then joined the ranks of the SPD team, along with Syd, pink ranger, Bridge, green ranger and Sky, the blue ranger. The team had a few arguments from time to time, but became a great ranger team. Sometimes quarrels are needed to develop a superb group of people. That's the first time this has happened in Power Rangers history.

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" was the first cast and will always be the best, right along with "Power Rangers In Space". BUT with the police patrol and sci-fi themes like Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, etc, etc the SPD team is actually "THE" Power Rangers. The name fits perfectly.
