ThunderStorm

I am so glad I got to watch this show. It really puts a spin on Greek myths & legends. The best part are the characters. While most of them are stereotypical, COTT humour + witty one-liners just makes them way better. Anyway, the good thing is that I like most of the characters in COTT. They all contribute in one way or another. Jay's the typical leader type. Theresa's the goody-goody with psychic powers (cue X-men theme). Herry's the brawny yet not-so-bright softie at heart. Archie is the average hero with an Achilles' heel. Atlanta is the athletic and headstrong female. Odie's the typical geek/tech genius. Finally, Neil is the joker. He never ceases to amaze me with the shallowest possible comments. Seriously, he is probably the most self-centred "hero" ever created, which makes him so fun to laugh at. Among all the characters, my top favourites are Archie, Atlanta & Herry. Regarding relationships, Jay & Theresa remind me of Scott...

Image from:  NZ Film Commission Power Rangers RPM premiered in the US in March 2009. The series started off great with some major changes - no ending theme to channel more time to story development; no 5-word-titles to allow for more creative titles. However, I did notice that the plots seemed to borrow ideas from other seasons: Green rangers are usually portrayed as comic reliefs Sky cowboy Joel, clumsy/naive Trip, weird Bridge, overconfident slacker Xander, & now Ziggy? Wild Force Rangers had powers from the start (Good thing, 'cos it saves time on the introduction. Anyway, sooner or later, there'll be flashbacks of the beginning, which counts for creative storytelling.) SPD Jack & Z (as criminals) = Dillon & Ziggy? Operation Overdrive How Miratrix met the rangers = Tenaya 7? Mack = Dillon? Ranger Yellow Part 1 & 2 << Warning: Spoilers >>
