If you can power thru Godzuki in s1 (he becomes a better and more capable character in s2) there's some legit great Godzilla in that series, and some of the original monster foes are fantastic.

Done with Power Rangers In Space. Bummed I skipped the majority of it back in the day, because it's consistently one banger episode after another, with interesting villains, space adventures, and rollicking fun throughout. And one of the greatest finales of all time.

"Countdown to Destruction" remains one of the greatest moments in Power Rangers history, and only in part because George "Buck" Flower is in it.

I'm not saying make him the whole show, but certainly give him one of the big numbers. Especially when he was the backdrop to Michael first meeting David and Star.

That's the reason for this to exist, so that we can see Sax man shimmy at the Tony's.

Wish Schumacher was still around for this. Fingers crossed it's wild and fun and queer punk as hell.

5 stars. A top-tier novelization. Kahn's beautiful prose is vivid, and he nails the scares, the wonder, and the building pace, even as he adds huge swathes of new material fleshing out Tangina, the science team, and the spirit realm. A classic read. #Filmsky #Booksky

(2/2) from rubbled dance halls, to towns which no longer exist due to a dam installation, to the frequent q-tip tests and robot mall guides. It's a beautiful vibe of cinema, carried well by the mute performance of Zhao Tao. #Filmsky
