Power Rangers: L'Autre Galaxie

While not the best of Power Rangers series, Lost Galaxy kept Power Rangers cool and from going back to it's 1993 state. The characters were great, along with the cast. Keeping the Rangers in space was a good move, now on a massive space colony searching for another world. That was a cool storyline. With elements like the Magna Defender, this show was serious and dark which suited this show.

I think Power Rangers has definitely improved over the past two years. Starting with Power Rangers in Space, the show has had great stories, great action and a lot of emotion. I love every second of it. The new cast is working out great. The stories has a lot of realism. People who still say that Power Rangers suck have probably not watched the show since 1993.

The title says it all. After "Countdown to Destruction" in "Power Rangers in Space" I really thought they'd stop. After about 5-6 years I thought it was over. The rangers reveal their identity and all evil is destroyed. But there's always a lost galaxy plagued with evil. I was uncomfortable with this too. Just like every other series except "Power Rangers Zeo." I thought they were starting over again but they brought in the old crew. Thats right! "Power Rangers in Space." Oh yeah, and the thing with Karone (Astronama) that was pure genius. Too bad this crew doesn't stick around for another spinoff to this.

Beginning with this Power Ranger series. It adapts the Super Sentai completely. Even though PR In Space did a good job of bringing in. After the first show you no longer see Bulk and Skull which has been the comic relief on PR for too long. It has also let go of past villains which got resolved in PR In Space. It also shows some real development with the characters both heroes and villains. It also delivers an overall storyline to the series just as PR In Space did. Even though the Japanese show Gingaman (which Lost Galaxy was based on) took place on Earth while LG took place on a Space Station that looked like a metropolis from inside it still showed that Power Rangers has finally grew up. Yes they are cheesy monsters but Sentai had those for years. But now Lost Galaxy shows that the characters do deal with trauma and personal struggles like the loss of a brother (one of the storylines that matched with Gingaman), and even the heroes don't quite make it. One example was Pink Galaxy Ranger Kendrix Morgan who gave her life to save Pink Space Ranger Cassie in the crossover episode. It also shows how some of villains can really be bad especially during Lost Galaxy's climax. You may say this does not belong in kiddy TV, but this was done in Japan for many years.

PR Lost Galaxy does give PR what it needs to run for many years, and give Super Sentai fans what they really want. A beginning, a middle, a great ending and great wrap-up, and then a new set of power rangers and villians to do it all over again.

I actually thought that this was still a good season. I mean, it's not a good as Power Rangers in Space or Power Rangers Time Force. It still had its' stronger points. Namely, the characters of Trakeena, Villamax, Deviot and the first Magna Defender, and of course, the team-up episodes with the Space Rangers and Karone being the secondary Pink Galaxy Ranger. My only complaints about this season, is the fact that they brought Kendrix back from the dead in the finale, the "Lights of Orion" arc and the "Lost Galaxy" arc. They were just dragging on and on for too long. Furio, and Trecheron were kind of boring villains to me and Scorpius didn't really do much until later on. My favorite Power Rangers characters are Leo, Karone and Damon. But, everyone was okay.

Overall, I actually think that Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is a very- underrated season and it deserves a lot more love.

I'd give Power Rangers Lost Galaxy a "C+".

"Go Galactic!"
