Here is the thread for my #PowerRangersBinge! Inspired by the likes of @SentaiFive, @LivingRangerKey, and @PowerRangersFun.
The plan is to watch 5 episodes and when it comes around, 1 film, per day, with a break every three seasons.
The plan is to watch 5 episodes and when it comes around, 1 film, per day, with a break every three seasons.
Keep in mind a few things,
-Seasons will not bridge over. If a season has, let's say 2 episodes left, I will begin the next season the next day, when ever that may be.
-I have a different order of episodes than what Netflix & The DVDs have. So don't @ me. Most are fillers anyway

-I will label each episode by season, and episode number (I.e, Episode 1101 is "Prelude To A Storm".
-Each episode post will consist of who wrote & directed it, my initial thoughts, my favorite screencap, and my favorite line(s).

-At the end of each season, I will gather my thoughts, give you favorites & dislikes
-Like @SentaiFive, I will create "moments". That way, you can view my thoughts on each season separately.
-At the end of all this, I will release my definitive ranking

This will be the first time I'll be watching the series in full sequencial order. Some seasons I haven't seen since they've been out, so it will be fun to see if my opinions change or not.
Hope you all join me for this journey into The Morphin' Grid.
