Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

Happy Power Rangers Once and Always Day!

Just finishing the Power Rangers 30th anniversary special and HOLY HELL IT’S SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!! Not only did they bring the Radbug back, but the fact that they got so many of the original cast members back was the highlight of this. It also serves as such a good homage to Thuy Trang and the special ends with a loving note to her and Jason David Frank…which may or may not have made me tear up…WHO THE HELL AM I KIDDING I AM CRYING!!!!!

It’s Morphin Time!

Netflix is releasing a Power Rangers reunion just in time for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers’ 30th Anniversary. Rita Repulsa has returned and vows to destroy the team before they even become Rangers. And she definitely means business as she’s already...well, spoilers in the trailer. Now a new teenager with attitude will have to take her place amongst the Rangers.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always stars David Yost (Billy / Blue Ranger), Walter Jones (Zack / Black Ranger), Karan Ashley (Aisha / Yellow Ranger), Catherine Sutherland (Kat / Pink Ranger), Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam / Green Ranger), Steve Cardenas (Rocky / Red Ranger), Richard Steven Horvitz (Alpha 5), Barbara Goodson (Rita Repula), and Charlie Kersh (Minh Kwan, Trini’s daughter). The special is written by Alwyn Dale and Becca Barnes. Charlie Haskell directs.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always hits Netflix on April 19, 2023.

Though PR’s leaving New Zealand...

...I naively hope that they don’t leave it all behind in terms of writing and voice talent, especially with remote recording becoming a thing.

Heck, going by Once & Always, Barnes and Dale would make for a great head writer duo.

So a bunch of mini-scenarios I’ve imagined for Conner since the ending of MMPR:O&A:

•Flirting with the Aquitian nurses assigned to him

•Complaining Aquitar doesn’t get ESPN

•Training/Sparring with Tommy and Jason

•Teaching Aquitian kids how to play soccer

•Having Superspeed races with Devon

Fell out of following Power Rangers stuff-I saw that David Yost was in Cosmic Fury as Billy in a major role! That's pretty cool!

I made a video about the significance of his returning to PR when he did the Netflix special Once and Always earlier this year

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always is now streaming on Netflix.
