Power Rangers: Zeo

Power rangers Zeo is a refreshing new beginning to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers series which towards the end of its GREAT three year run started to become stale and boring with only minor changes every so often. When the command centre was destroyed at the end of season 3 fans like myself were both shocked and excited. with millions of fans wondering what would come of the power rangers without their powers, the era of Zeo began. With a new ranger and the power of the zeo crystal the power rangers evolved into the power rangers Zeo, with new costumes, new zords, new enemies in the machine empire and new allies. Now I'm not going to say this was an amazing series because it wasn't after all there is never anything like the original but it did give power rangers fans the excitement they once had. The acting in the series in my opinion is surprisingly better than the previous 3 and some of the stories are fantastic!

To me, the Zeo Rangers were Power Rangers at their best! I even liked their ranger suits and zords better than all the other Power Rangers. The Zeo Rangers had awesome zords interesting allies and unique robotic villains to battle. The show just wasn't long enough! I really wish this entire series was on DVD boxsets!In the U.S. The Zeo Rangers is the second set of Power Rangers, after the Mighty Morphin Rangers. Energy source for the Zeo Rangers was the zeo crystals. The Zeo Rangers command center was constructed (buried) under the Mighty Morphin Rangers command center. Villains of the Zeo Rangers were King Mundo with his family ( evil alien robots ) and palace along with their robot soldiers called Cogs. Allies were Auric the Conquer (automatic battle zord) and Trey (triplet morphing alien) the gold ranger who controlled a ship and zord, Pyramidas ...and provided the Zeo Rangers with the gold Zeo Power Coins which provided each ranger with their on super zeo zord to help them when things got rough. The rangers Super Zeo Zords combined to form the Super Zeo Megazord!

Being with Power Rangers Zeo Saban joins Japanese counterpart Toei in tradition of changing the Power Rangers every year. Zeo more/less follow its counter part 'Super Task Force' regarding the shows villains The 'Machine Empire' and plot to have machines take over Earth. However it still does not quite follow the show and still is in a MMPR mode. However adapting to the Senati tradition beginning with Zeo is a great start. A few bumps in the road but Power Rangers is getting their.

Reasonably good (if somewhat overrated) followup to the three seasons of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." Tight pacing, a well-written storyline, and decent acting all help move the story along; but the show is marred by extreme silliness at times and extreme seriousness. Despite all that, "Zeo" is quite entertaining if you don't expect much from it.

Followed by: "Power Rangers Turbo," "Power Rangers in Space," "Power Rangers Lost Galaxy," "Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue," "Power Rangers Time Force," "Power Rangers Wild Force," and "Power Rangers Ninja Storm."

Now I haven't seen to many episodes but I noticed from the episodes that I watched that show really got more realistic than MMPR. MMPR was great, loved it, but it did get corny at times. Zeo has fewer corny scenes and great drama and even some angst (King for a Day). They eventually grew and we got Power Rangers in Space, one of the greatest series and the saddest finale.

But for people who say that the cast sucked, I just wanted to point out, NO ONE LEFT(except Aisha)!! So it was almost the same cast from the series before.

Anyways great stuff here! **** of *****
