He took his brother's Quasar Saber after it looked like his brother had died. Leo sneaked into Terra Venture without a ticket, but I'm sure the Galaxy Rangers were glad he did.
During In Space, he helped Carlos to get tougher and faught a monster even though he knew that using his old powers could destroy him. She even stood up for a monster that had a heart.Īmong the new cast members during MMPR S2, Adam was the most skilled and the coolest. Cassie was tough as nails and could stand up for herself against both the other rangers and any monster. She's often overshadowed by other popular pink Rangers such as Kimberly and Jen, but she can fight. He defeated the evil White Ranger clone and saved his father in the process.Ĭassie is my favorite Pink Ranger and one of the most underrated rangers of all time. Trent is a lot like a young Tommy, although not nearly as skilled. Trent's highly underrated and like the other Dino Rangers, is overshadowed by Tommy. Why Trent? Trent is the second strongest among the Dino Rangers. She was basically the team leader when Jason wasn't around and could whip anybodies ass that got in her way. Unlike the other rangers, Trini was skilled in Kung Fu and not Karate. Trini was the third most skilled ranger in MMPR S1 and the first half of S2 behind Tommy and Jason. Today I'll start with my top 10 Badass Power Rangers list (which is really a top 11 since #10 is a tie).īy far my favorite all-time yellow ranger. I will make Power Rangers lists first since I've seen nearly every season of Power Rangers, so it might be a while before I make a Super Sentai list.
If you're not a sci-fi snob, you'll definitely enjoy this great, pioneering show.I've decided that I'll make my own series of top 5 and top 10 lists for both Power Rangers and Super Sentai. It's well written, filmed (as opposed to shot on video) and the special effects are actually pretty good for something produced in 1954. Rocky Jones is a truly enjoyable sci-fi adventure t.v. Also of note is the fact that this series routinely cast women in important roles as both rulers, villains, and sidekicks-fairly unusual for 1954. Diplomacy is always the first resort, but Rocky is definitely able to go fist-city with any bad-guy. The UW is portrayed as a peaceful alliance of planets, yet outside threats from rogue elements & planets require a force of Space Rangers. Rocky and his crew (Vena, Bobby, Biff, and Professor Newton) are sent out as emissaries of the United Worlds. The show employs an ensemble cast with a family-like camaraderie. Rocky Jones Space Ranger portrays a future where interplanetary travel is routine. Despite it's "limitations" it sure seems to have a lot of elements that would later be used by Gene Roddenberry on Star Trek. show aimed primarily at juveniles-take it for what it is.
This series was made before the genre was divided. There seems to always be a rift between those who want their sci-fi to be "smart" and those who are looking for action and/or special FX.
As a Science Fiction television show, it is pioneering, and arguably one of the most enduring. There are spaceships, travels to different planets, weird science, and girls in mini-skirts. As basic juvenile oriented entertainment, it is terrific fun. Rocky Jones Space Ranger is a great series.
