She was doing gymnastics in Lycra as part of the character (and AJJ was a gymnast growing up, so it worked). But by this time they seemed to like putting her in sleeveless tops with short shorts.

Yeah, but watching this marathon, my impression is that these were more the exceptions than the rule until at or around the point we're at in the marathon (midway through S2), when Trini was gone and her replacement was a black girl (whom, even in the 90s, wouldn't have been the Hot Girl archetype).

Now, someone would leak that half of a low-budget but super-popular show want to be paid more for their roles and were thinking about leaving, and that would cause a lot of people to complain.
Or they would just do a blanket contract renegotiation like the guys from the BBT do. Sure Sheldon and Hot Girl get more than everyone, but Jewish Guy and Indian Dude get a slight bump as well and everyone's happy.

I'd have to imagine that the danger in renegotiating was in opening the door for a kickback from all the toys and whatnot.

Sure, we joke about her in girl scout uniforms and stuff, but so far she hasn't been clad in things that are particularly form-fitting or anything. poo poo, Trini would wear stuff that showed her belly off more.
It's safer to sexualize the exotic asian girl than the clean cut whitebread girl.

I really hope Hogday Afternoon part 2 airs when I'm around to see it. I just watched it with my kid and the chat is going to lose their poo poo.

My 3 year old is pretty traumatized. I should have waited til we would have time to watch the first couple episode of Zeo so he'd know they would be alright.

Serpentera is probably the coolest thing that ever came out of Toei's prop department. And it's only flaw is it's total lack of any versatility at all!

I think the intent is that Serpentera is destroying the sphere things, and the debris is crashing onto the upside-down triangle thing that the Sword (and thus, the Rangers) are on.

But the triangle is floating over red-tinted Los Angeles, which is where it was established that they are.

It's really meaningless because I think the whole eyeball pyramid is Dairanger's version of Rita's Palace (the eyeball motif again) but it's so many weird jump cuts

I think the floating triangle is the part of Red Tinted LA that the sword has. I'm not denying it's edited pretty weirdly, but they had the footage and by god they are going to use it.

I should get around to watching more Dairanger one of these days, I saw the first few episodes on Shout Factory TV but then kinda forgot about it. Love the opening theme, though.

Austin St John seems like a cool dude who enjoys that his short acting career was appreciated by so many kids, and he can make occasional cameos as long as he wants.

Tommy was cool up through Zeo but goddamn does JDF have that "don't you know who I am, I'm the Power Rangers" thing going on from time to time.

I think he had aspirations of being a Bruce Lee type of icon, bringing Martial Arts education to the masses through branded dojos.

There was this interview with the dudes who played Bulk and Skull from years ago, and they said that he's generally a nice guy. The 'horror' stories about him (especially ones that happen earlier) come from a place of him not being an actor, being unprepared for everything that comes from being an actor, and pretty much freaking out.

Wasn't Scorpina the name of the villain from Lost Galaxy? But this monster suit looks way too familiar irregardless, is she recurring?

Also As amazing as this is, I look forward to chat in some of the surprisingly decent later/less known seasons. :3:
