Sonic The Hedgehog "Sonic And Sally" Review


It's been a whopping three years since anything from the classic Sonic The Hedgehog TV series otherwise known as Sonic SatAM was covered and well then then I thought that it was about time that gets put to and end. With there being so many episodes of this show to chose from it really was hard to pick which episode to cover next and well then I think that i've found the perfect episode to review for you guys and so then join me as I review the episode that proves that you really should trust Tails with the episode in question being called simply just "Sonic And Sally" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Princess Sally is captured and a robot version of her is accidentally rescued by Sonic and friends the gang have to find the real Sally and rescue her before she to is turned into a robot. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as the episodes plot was one that was really well done but at the same time it was something that was rather on the weak side of things as well as it was very hard at times to tell what the actual plot of the episode was even meant to be with the plot of this episode being at best better suited for an eleven minuet cartoon then it was a twenty two minuet cartoon but on the flip side of that is the fact that this episodes plot did give us the chance to really showcase just how smart that Dr. Robotnik can be when he really wants to be and that is something that you very rarely get to see yet it's a key plot point in this episode in this episode with the only real issue with this episodes plot just being the fact that it's not the strongest plot that this show really could have had with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Family Matters star Jaleel White as Sonic The Hedgehog and voice acting legend Kath Soucie as Sally , Robot Sally and Nicole. Also starring in this episode is voice acting legend Christine Cavanaugh as Bunnie Rabbot , Mark Ballou as Rotor , voice acting legend Rob Paulsen as Antoine Depardieu , voice acting legend Frank Welker as Swat-Bots , Bradley Pierce as Tails , voice acting legend Charlie Adler as Snively and voice acting legend Jim Cummings as Doctor Robotnik and Swat-Bots.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featu4eed / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is something that's to be expected given who is starring not only in this episode but in this show as a whole as alot of this shows actors are a bunch of really good voice actors all of whom really can deliver some really good performances something which we get in this episode as they all deliver some really good performances that make you wonder why these actors haven't appeared in more Sonic media as these characters as they play them just so well that you could very easily see them starring in another TV series or maybe a movie as these characters with the true standout performer in this episode being either Christine Cavanaugh as Bunnie Rabbot who was just a pure joy to listen to in this episode or Jim Cummings who was really creepy as Doctor Robotnik and yet when it came to playing some of the Swat-Bots he was also really funny and goofy something that even the best of voice actors can;t really pull off and yet he does in this episode really easily with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script was just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Saerom Animation and Milímetros S.A.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the episodes backgrounds looking really good like they have alot of actual thought and effort put into them with the best example of this being Robotnik's lair as it looks grimy and dirty and lived in which makes sense as this is a lair that he does live in and so it would look both dirty and grimy compare this with the homebase of Sonic and friends where it still looks lived it but it looks cleaner while still having alot of effort put into them which is perfect for there characters as well as they are meant to be the good guys and so the place that that call home would look more cleaner then Robotnik's lair as they would have taken the time to clean up any mess that they left behind where as with Robotnik it's not in his character to clean anything up and as a result of that is of course his lair would look dirty as that's perfect for his character with all of the episodes characters having some really nice fluid movements to them as well and it could even be argued that it's during the episodes action is where the episodes animation truly stands out and really comes alive as that's just how good the animation not only in this episode but in this show as a whole really is.


Even tho he does play a pretty vital part in the plot of this episode Tails really isn't in the episode all that much. With him only appearing in the middle and the end of the episode in a few brief scenes but all of the scenes that he does appear in are vital to the plot of the episode as he's the one that not only discovers that the fake Sally is actually a robot but he;s the one that even goes to tell Sonic that Sally is a fake and yet he's not in the episode all that much which is something that really does make a whole lot of sense as there's no way that you can get his character into the story as he's just a little kid in this show and as such showing him actively attacking Robotnik's lair whilst it would work in making Robotnik look like a bad it still wouldn't work for Tails as there's not much that this version of the characters could actually do as he has nothing special about him like Bunny does or Sonic does for example and as a result of that is the fact that the only place that you could put this characters in the parts in which he appears in the episode and have him play the role that he plays in the episode which while it still very vital to the plot of the episode it's also something that doesn't allow for us the audience to see what his character actually brings to the team and as a result of that is the fact that he feels like that he's only here just for the sake of being there and that's really it as that's the role that really is perfect for this version of the character.

For some reason even tho it's painfully obvious that Sally is a Robot the episode chooses to make Sonic look really dumb by having him until the episodes third act to work out that she's a robot. Yet he's meant to be the teams co-leader with the real life Sally being the other co-leader and yet even tho she doesn't do all of the things that the start of the episode sets up that they both do before a mission Sonic still doesn't pick up on the fact that this version of Sally isn't a good guy and even the voice for Robot Sally sounds very robotic and while yes she does act like her normal counterpart even down to her not only knowing all of the comrades names and what there routines are what she doesn't have are Sally's memories and knowing what Robotnik is like that is something that Sonic should have tested when he rescued what he thought was the real Sally and while yes he was being chased by the Swat-Bots at the time the second that they escaped the prison and had sometime to ask her a question then he really should have done it just be sure that he got the right person as that way he wouldn't be putting the lives of the rest of his friends and himself at risk and yet because he didn't do that and because of the fact that he failed to pick up on the fact that Sally was evil then it really does make Sonic look not only really dumb but also a bad leader as those are things that a good leader really would have done and yet for some strange reason Sonic doesn't do it.


One of the thing that not only this episode but the show as whole got right was the fact that it not only made Robotnik out to be a really terrifying villain but it also made him out to be a rally smart villain as well. As even tho he doesn't know where Sonic and his friends are based what he did do was put a locator chip inside of Robot Sally so that he could track her movements and there for find out where they all live as that way he could take them all out which is a really good idea but there was one tying that let that idea down and thats the fact that he forgot to make sure that the Robot Sally had all of the real Sally's memories as you can have someone both look like and talk like someone but if they don't get all of the facts right about that same someone then the whole plan very quickly falls apart but the episode does more then make up for that by also having be a really creepy villain with him having this really menacing voice and always being covered by lots of shadows is his really dark and grimy lair all of which does add up to him being a really creepy villain and it's something that makes you wonder why other Sonic media haven't really portrayed him this way as alot of other Sonic media have always had him be more like his Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog counterpart in that he's always goofy and always making jokes which is fine for one or two versions in or two scenes but by always doing that your making the character as whole seem like less of a threat then what he really should be as he should be a really smart and creepy villain and not a villain that's always cracking jokes and acting like a goofball.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and forty nine seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show and to this episodes credit it really does have just the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and while it really doesn't fully develop it's plot as it would have been nice to find out why they are attacking Robotnik's robot making factory at the start of the episode and while attacking that building was so important to to them as it would have added some actual stakes to the episode what little we do get does work really well as we get to see just how the real life Sally acts when she's not a mission which granted is scene through the eyes of Robot Sally but it is still something that works really well with her being more of a mother figure to Tails even going as far as to read him a bed time story and do all the voices of all of the characters which is sweet to see but at the same time tho it would have been nice to see all of that through the eyes of the actual Sally and not her robot counterpart something that the episode really could have done if it was just a few minuets longer and it's something that wouldn't be seen as filler as it sets up something that does get payed off near the end of the episode when we see Robot Sally acting differently but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho,


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I gave to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As it was the kind of action that you'd expect to find in a kids Saturday morning kids cartoon show but what sets the action in this episode apart is the fact that it's were the animation in this very episode really does get the chance to shine and really leap of screen as while we dont get to see Sonic doing all that much action wise as it's really only Bunny that gets to do alot of the action in this episode the best that we do get to see Sonic do mainly just involve him running and that's really it and while it does look good it does also lack that extra something that you really want to see in an action show as Sonic doesn't really get the chance to use any of his powers as he's to bust trying to rescue Sally twice in the same episode which does make sense but for a show that is not only named after him but also makes him out to be this really big deal in the shows own theme song you do expect him to a bit more action with the bits of action that Bunny gets to do like taking destroying several robots at once does look really cool and indeed all of this episodes action is really cool to see in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this was a really good episode of a really good show it's still an episode that could have been alot better then what it ended up being as it had all of the potential to be a really good episode of the show and yet all it really needed was a just little extra running time in order to reach that full potential as that's just how good that this episode and this episode really well and truly really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad thins that are in this very episode in this very review and such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old core of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in his very review from the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Sonic The Hedgehog fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Worzel Gummidge "Muvvers' Day" Review


Back in the fourth series of Worzel Gummidge it very quickly became common practice for them to have Aunt Sally be forced into quite literally more then half of the series. As a result of that is the fact that it became really rare to find an episode where she wasn't in it or even the main focus of the episode with the episode that i'm going to be reviewing for you all today being a good example of how to do an episode without Aunt Sally in it and so then join me as I review the episode that technically sees another member of Worzel's family be introduced into the show with the episode in question being called simply just "Muvvers' Day" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is after he is thrown into a ditch by a mob of angry mothers Worzels becomes determined to find his own mother. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as it was a very fun filled plot and it's one that shows that the makers of this show can still make a decent plot and not have to have Aunt Sally in it as by this point in the shows history she was being used quite alot of the time and as a result of that is the fact that it did start to take away focus from Worzel Gummidge himself with the plot of this episode really going along way to making sure that not only is he the main focus of the episode but that the episode starts to feel like some of the episodes from the shows seconds series as this episodes plot is nothing more the pure childlike fun that's absolutely filled to the brim with childlike wonder and whimsy all of which are things that are quite usually found in plots when this show is at it's absolutely best and while yes the plot of this episode isn't the shows best that doesn't stop it from being a good plot in it own right with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Doctor Who and Wombling Free star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge and Operation Julie star Susie Johns as Nanny. Also starring in this episode is Seventy Deadly Pills star Barbara Ashcroft as Lady B , Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Jeremy Austin as John Peters , Casino Royale1967 and Catweazle star Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman and The Wind In The Willows Grand Annual Show Beryl Reid as Sarah Pigswill.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes acting being more the worthy of the shows already high standard for acting as everybody that worked on this show didn't treat this show as a kids TV show that would be forgotten about as they instead chose to think about all of this shows episodes as feature films and as a result of that is the fact that we get acting in not only the rest of the show but in this episode as well that is worthy of being a kids feature length film with all of this episodes actors turning some really good performances in this episode with it being made as clear as day that the show regular director and producer James Hill really did know not only who would be perfect for any role as Beryl Reid does play Worzels mother rather wonderfully but that he did know how to get a good performance out of all of his actors something which really is put to good use in all of this shows with all of the episodes characters really being perfectly cast no matter how big or small there role really is with the acting that's in this very episode also being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance really will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Even tho this episode is all about Worzel not only finding out who his mother this episode does also complicate things as well as The Crowman himself quite clearly states near the start of the episode that scarecrows can't have mothers. As Worzel not only has a nephew but also has an Australian cousin both of which would require to have him a mother and yet here they openly say that scarecrows can't technically have mothers but they still can if a scarecrow is made from the same row of seeds that another scarecrow was born from which is a fine way of getting around the lore that the episode just established but at the same time it makes you wonder that if scarecrows cant have a mother then how can he both a nephew and a cousin this is something that should have been thought of by the shows regular writers Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall as the pair of them are usually so good with keeping things in continuity and yet here they tried to add something to the lore of the show but they did so in a way that makes you question the other aspects of the shows lore and while the idea of scarecrows only having mothers if there born from same row of seeds that another scarecrow is made from is a good it's one that's not fully thought as it then makes you wonder how they can have other family members let alone have a mother or maybe even a father as well as that is something that is now a question thanks to the fact that scarecrows can now have mothers.


Worzels mother in this episode was a decent character as she was someone who is in her own mind a good mother. Without her realising that all of the things that she's doing for Worzel are things that only make sense to her and her only like the fact that for a cake she makes him mud cake which is something that she likes and having a cup of tea made of ditch water both of which make her seem like she's a real down to earth scarecrow mother or at least what the scarecrow version of being down to earth is like and it's those types of things that make her a really funny character and it's something that makes you wonder why the character didn't show up in other episodes of this series as seeing how she would interact with Aunt Sally or even Dolly Clothes Peg for that matter and seeing who they would bounce off of each other does sound really funny and like it could have been a really good idea but for some reason this is the only episode in which the character not only appears in but is even referenced and while there really isn't any episode in this series where she could have made an appearance outside of maybe the last episode as she could have helped John and Sue stop Aunt Sally from eating Worzel's cake or even helped out Aunt Sally without realising who she is in the first place and yet for one time only character she does seem like a really fun character it just would have been nice if we got to have more appearances with this character.

Shockingly not only does this episode not feature Aunt Sally in the episode at all but also John and Sue barely feature in the episode. With it being a breath of fresh air for Aunt Sally not even appearing in the episode as there are only so many stories that you can tell with that character before it starts to get old something that does happen in not only this series but also in Worzel Gummidge Down Under as well and while it does make sense for Jhon and Sue to basically play more of a minor role in this episode it still would have been nice to see them play more of a bigger role in the episode as they are Worzel's best friends and there for it would have made sense to see them more in the episode and while yes they are the ones to give Worzel the idea of having a mother of all of his own we don't really get to see alot of how they would react to all of the things that Worzel's mother does which is something that could have made for some great scenes and they could have told Worzel's mother how mothers are meant to act as that would also make sense for not only the plot of the episode but also for the characters as well and while yes it is great that Aunt Sally isn't even referenced in this episode at all the very fact that they don't even mention where the character does feel odd even more so when you take into account that she does appears out of nowhere in the rest of the series but given that we get so much of her in this series having one episode where she doesn't appear at all is a very refreshing thing to see as it keeps the focus back on the title character and doesn't shift it to another character.


What was something that worked really well for this episode was the fact that we got see Worzel act like a stereotypical young boy. With him calling his mother the best mother in the whole wide world and even running away from her when she's about to him with her umbrella these are all things that young kids would do and have done and it was great to see it as Worzel even without his mother is basically just a little kid who just so happens to be in the body of grown up scarecrow and yet even so it's still fun and charming to see him act how young people would act when there in that exact same situation as would the fact that we even see him act is disgust at some of the home cooking which is something that not only works for that character but it's also something that makes for some truly wonderful scenes and while it would have been nice if we got to see the relationship between Worzel and his mother get developed something that even could have been in future episodes that would also go against what we see in the rest of the show as the show basically resets it's status quo at the end of the episode but given that this series was meant to be the final series of the show then they really could have taken a few more chances and taken the chance to develop a relationship that the show has never had the chance to had as while it could be argued that The Crowman is Worzel's father the relationship between father and son is far different then the relationship between mother and son and that is something that really co8ld have been explored in this very episode.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and five seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have and to this episodes credit it really does have the right amount there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time with the episode also taking as full advantage of it's running time that it really could have done and while this episodes would have been better if they took the time to fully develop the relationship between Worzel and his mother there's really no way that they could have had scenes like that in the episode without those scenes feeling like filler scenes as the episode really doesn't have alot of running time in the first place and as a result of that is the fact that all of the scenes needs to be about advancing the plot of the episode and there for they really can't afford to have scenes that might be cut out of the episode something that would have been the case with all of the scenes that develop the relationship between Worzel and his mother no matter how short those scenes are as there's no way that you could do those scenes and have them actually play a role in the plot of the episode and given that this is a kids show the shows target audience don't really need to have fully developed relationships even more so when you take into account that the character could have appeared in a future episode and there relationship could have been fully developed then but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing t it tho.


So now then as this is comedy that really does means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy thats actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episode having alot of painfully funny moments all though out the episode not only with the scenes with Worzel and his mother but at the start of the episode where Worzel asks a nanny about what she's doing entering a baby into a baby contest only for her to politely ask him for his umbrella just so that she can hit over the head with it something that she does again when he things that she's his mother which a was a great small running joke as John Pertwee gets to make some really funny faces both times that he gets hit which is something that makes those scenes even funnier then what they already were but also was the fact that after Worzel shoves his mother face into his homemade scarecrow breakfast John warns him that as a punishment he gets a ten second head start before she starts to chase to try and hit him this time with her umbrella which was just such a cute , funny and charming way to end the episode with this episode having alot of jokes that are not only funny but are also cute and charming as well something that this shows does wonderfully well with all of this episodes jokes being really good and really funny as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Overall this was a really good way to start of what would be the final series of the original show as it not only has all of the things that the original show was really known for having but it also has alot of really funny jokes in it as well with this episode really being worth watching for it's jokes alone as there just that good and there just funny to watch in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review well then that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girl and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all pf the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , Wikipedia and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FREE First Impressions Of Dune: Prophecy


The Dune franchise is perhaps the most iconic science fiction out there and it's one that has only had a very small amount of media adaptations over the years. Well now the saga has technically it's second ever TV series adaptation as HBO Max has now just premiered the first episode of the prequel to the 2021 film adaptation of Dune and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE first impressions of the show that really is basically nothing more then just House of The Dragon but on a sand planet with the TV series in question being called simply just "Dune: Prophecy" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Valya Harkonnen tries to make sure that someone that she wants to sit upon the royal throne does so that she can get all of the things that she wants. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time this episodes plot wasn't all that good other as it's the exact same plot that we've seen play out in other and quite frankly better shows and with this show being set in the world of Dune you do expect them to deliver something better and different and as a result of that is the fact that it does come of as disappointing when you see all of the same plot points for other and better shows come into play in this episode when they should be doing something new and different which is something that they fail to do with all of this making this show feeling pointless to watch as you know where the plots going to go and you'll most likely have worked out any plot twists that this show will try to through in as well which does is something that will make show seem boring to watch and it's something that really makes this episode quite boring to watch as well with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Emily Watson as Valya Harkonnen and Olivia Williams as Sister Tula Harkonnen. Also starring in this episode is Jodhi May as Empress Natalya , Sarah-Sofie Boussnina as Princess Ynez , Chris Mason as Keiran Atreides , Shalom Brune-Franklin as Mikaela , Jade Anouka as Sister Theodosia , Jessica Barden as Young Valya , Emma Canning as Young Tula , Camilla Beeput as Reverend Mother Dorotea , Travis Fimmel as Desmond Hart , Laura Howard as Duchess Orla Richese , Tessa Bonham Jones as Lady Shannon Richese , Charlie Hodson-Prior as Pruwet Richese and Shazam! and Shazam! Fury Of The Gods star Mark Strong as Emperor Javicco Corrino.

Now then interms of what I personally tought /felt about rh actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes actors do indeed turn in some really good performances in this very episode which is something that's both to be expected and yet at the same time really shocking as well it's to be expected in the sense that this episodes actors are indeed some really good actors in there own right but it's also really shocking as alot more of this episodes actors are indeed some really unknown actors and there for it would have been foolish to expect some good performances from them and yet that's exactly what we got with all of this episodes actors turning in some really good performances that are better then what you thought that they would be and yet better then what you'd want them to be but what does does let this episodes acting down is the fact that this episode director Anna Foerster really doesn't known how to direct her cast which does make sense as she's really not a trained director as she's cinematographer with the acting that's in this very episode not really being helped by this episodes script which is just so bad as it gives none of this episodes actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there respective actors personalities are even meant to be in the first place which s something that really does effects the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.


Doing the CGI for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at Millennium FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / flt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with it being really hard to tell what was a CGI effect from time to time as that's just how good this episodes CGI really is with this episodes effects being feature film worthy as that's just how goo they are and while yes this episode does use mainly use CGI to create all of the episodes creatures instead of doing them practically which is something they really could have done the episode also makes great use of CGI by using it to extend the episodes sets and to add buildings to locations where it might not have been possible to have them on the day which is a solid way to use CGI as all your basically doing is embracing what was already there on the day and to create something that would have been hard but not impossible to do practically and while yes practical effects will always look better as they don't age or if they do then it's takes decades for them to age with CGI they age not only really quickly but within the next few years and sadly that does really mean that even tho this episodes effects look really good by the end of 2027 the effects in this episode would have aged as well.


Incase you don't know this show is a prequel to the 2021 film Dune Part 1 with this show taking place ten thousand years before that film. Which is something that seems to be a common trend with HBO shows as we also have House Of The Dragon taking place thousands of years before Game Of Thrones and while that is a good idea as it no only means that we're going to be getting alot of backstory to things that were only mentioned in the films but it also means that should the show be a success then there can be sequel shows with those same characters but at the same time tho nobody who's watching this show is watching it because of the fact that they want to find out more about the history of this world there watching something like this because of the fact that the films had actors in it that they liked and that's really it and as a result of that is the fact that it would have been smarter to make a sequel show to the film where the franchises main characters can then make cameo appearances all of which are things that would make the franchise seem more connected as right now with this show there's nothing to connect it to the films outside of the fact that both this show and the films have the exact same font and that's really it and that doesn't really connect both the show to the films in a strong way as this font could really be used for anything and it would make just as much but if this episode delved into the backstory of something that happened in the films and even included characters that only got mentioned in the film then it would have connected the show to the film in a much more stronger way.

This episode from a visual standpoint this episode does look fantastic which is something that does make alot of sense as this episode was directed by a cinematographer. However tho at the same time tho just because the episode looks good doesn't mean that the episode itself is a good episode and sadly this is not a good episode as while this episode does take a slow burn approach to it's storytelling you still need to have something happening in the episode in order to get people to come back and watch episode two which is something that sadly this show is going to struggle to do as there's no reason to come back and watch more of this story as the episode really doesn't give you a reason to come back and watch more episodes other then the fact that it's based off of a very popular IP and that's really it and that's not enough as you still need to make a show that has good characters in it and has good storytelling and while it's far to early to tell if the story telling would be any good the episodes story telling isn't all that god as the episode really does take a while to even get to some resemblance of a plot and when it does it's bogged down in very dialog heavy scenes that make you wonder what it is that you've just watched which can be fine if you have the story to back it up but this show really doesn't have that going for it and as a result of that is the fact that us the audience will either end up being bored by the episode or just straight up being confused by what's going on in the episode either way it doesn't give us the audience a reason to want to watch the next episode of the show.


Just going off of this first episode the shows characters don't really seem to be all that interesting with alot of them not really being all that interesting. While this is something that could easily be due to the fact that this is only the first episode and as a result of that s the fact that we're of course not going to get fully formed characters right of the bat you still need to give the characters some good foundations to go off of as those foundations will help to form who the characters in the show and without them it would just seem like the characters are who they are because the plot of the episode demanded that they by that way and not because that's who they really are as characters and sadly while this episode does give some of the characters some decent foundations it doesn't give all of the characters some good foundations which is something that does make it hard to like there character with the only two characters that do come of as being really good characters in this episode are Valya Harkonnen and Emperor Javicco Corrino and that's really it and even then that's more due to who's playing them that helps to make them memorable then how there characters are being written as if there character were played by anybody else then chances are they'd be just as forgettable as the rest of this show characters are when the characters should always be well written characters that are very memorable regardless of who it is that's playing them.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and five minuets and forty two seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for an HBO drama but at the same time it's a painfully long running tome for this episode as this episode really doesn't have all that much there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time as at if you remove all of the very dialog heavy scenes and just focus on the parts that actually develop the plot of the episode then there's really only enough plot there to cover around thirty to forty minuets with this episodes running time really being made up by scenes that no only add anything to either the plot of the episode nor the characters either and as a result of that is the fact that all of those scenes just come across as being filler scenes when the episode itself really doesn't need padding as shows like The Penguin proved that even with a basic plot you can still make the episode be around an hour in length all really just by fully developing your plot and the characters that are actually important to the plot of the episode which is something that would make this episode be less painfully dull and boring then what it actually is and if you really remove all of the episodes filler scenes then it really would make the episode be alot less of a chore to watch as well but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is a drama that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty in this episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual drama that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. As this episodes drama was the best part of the episode which really isn't saying all that much as even this episodes drama apart from the last five minuets really isn't all that exciting either and without giving away anything about the last five minuets of the episode then this episode is worth watching just for the last five minuets alone as that's when we get some really good drama it's just as shame that the first one of the episode is made up of scene s that are painfully boring where the drama tries to be profound and new but instead just comes across as being tired and boring as it's all stuff that we've seen done and talked about in other and better shows and while the episode does get credit for at least trying to have some character driven drama in it where it fails is the fact that the characters themselves aren't that well developed and as a result of that is the fact that even the character driven drama can't work because of the fact that we the audience have no clue if the characters would say or do anything like that because that's just how badly drawn out this shows characters really are and the drama is something that really does suffer because of it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while it's of course to hard to tell if this will be a good show or not just based off of this first episode alone the series will have a very hard and uphill struggle to even be a watchable show let alone one that people will like as this episode is just that much of a chore to sit through and watch in my freaking opinions anyways /at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if this post does decently well and if you guys want me to check out another episode then I will do it and that post would then be a review of that episode and that episode only and not a review of the show as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Dune fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great the official Dune fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them being better quality then what'd think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Dune fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 TV Series "Things Change" Review


The TMNT are characters that have been in alot of animated series over the years from the more recent Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the 1987 original series. However there's one animated show that doesn't get talked about all that much and has seemingly been forgotten about this is despite the fact that this show lasted for seven seasons and spawned a TV movie with the show being something that i'm going to be talking today and so then join me as I review the episode that sought to introduce the turtles to a more modern audience with the episode in question being called simply just "Things Change" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when there lair is destroyed by robotic mice the turtles and Splinter must search the New York sewers to find a new home. Now the interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as the plot of the episode does a solid job of setting up five of the shows main characters whilst also giving us a story that is uniquely personal to them and while yes this is plot that would have meant more if it was the plot of a later episode and while this kind of plot has been to death with these characters it's the fact that in this episode that they actually split up the Turtles and Splinter almost right away with them each trying to get back to each other that makes it stand out from all of the rest but at the same time tho this is a plot that really should have been saved for a later plot of an episode as by then it really would have meant something not only to us the audience but also to the characters themselves as well and could have been a highly emotional episode where as here it just lessens the impact that a plot like this one really should have with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is The Venture Bros , Weathering With You and Your Name star Michael Sinterniklaas as Leonardo and The Legend Of Vox Machina star Sam Riegel as Donatello. Also starring in this episode is Frank Frankson as Raphael , The Octonauts star Wayne Grayson as Michelangelo , Darren Dunstan as Splinter , Eric Stuart as Cop 2 , John and Spike , Ted Lewis as Cop 1 and Two Ton and Scottie Ray as Oroku Saki.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that';s actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of this episodes actors turning in some really solid which is surprising as pretty much all of these actors aren't that well known voice actors ans as a result of that is the fact that it really would have been foolish to expect good or even great performances from them and while yes these actors will never be able to top the voices from the original Ninja Turtles cartoon there performance in not only this episode but also hopefully the rest of the show as well do go along way into making them THE voices of the turtles for the generation that grew up watching this version of the Ninja Turtles and while yes the acting in this episode could have been better in some respects given that this was the shows first episode it can forgiven for having acting that;s not as a good as it really could have been as the actors themselves do indeed turn in some really solid performances in this episode with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really helps to raise the overall quality of the acting that;s in this very episode.


Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Dong Woo Animation Co.. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with the animation in this episode being alot better then what it really had any right to be as animation in TV shows around this point in time are very rarely that good and yet at the same time tho given who is doing the animation for this episode it really does make sense as Dong Woo Animation Co. usually do really good work in all of the things that they work on with the same thing also being true for this episode with all of the backgrounds in this episode looking really good with really any shot from this episode looking like a piece of art as that's how good the backgrounds in this episode really do look with the characters even having some really nice fluid movements to them as well something that really does come alive when the episode has an action scene and while it is hard to tell who the characters are from time to time the designs for the characters not only make sense given that there ninja's but they also work for what this show is going for as well with the designs for this show not only from the turtles themselves but the rest of the characters looking really good as well.


In what was a rather bold move this episode actually doesn't introduce the character of April O'Neil as instead she makes her debut appearance in the shows next episode. This was a bold move as when you typically think of Ninja Turtles you typically think of April as well and yet she is nowhere to be seen in this episode as all of this episode is spent not only setting up the turtles as characters but it's also setting up how strong there brotherhood is and as a result of that is the fact that there's no room for April in this episode  and that's smart as if she was to be included in this episode given how much that this episode has to set up having her appear in the episode would feel like there over stuffing the episode with things that aren't that important to the actual plot of the episode where as all of the things that they have in this episode are all important to the plot of the episode and are there for are really all needed in this episode in order to make the episode work and holding off on introducing her character does mean that the makers of this show can give the screen time that the character truly deserves as this is a truly iconic character and having her stuffed into this episode would feel like a disservice to her character instead of holding off on introducing and waiting until there's room for her in another episode which really is something that they thankfully do and because of that is the fact that we get an episode that feels more focused as there not introducing to many characters and throwing to many characters at us in this very episode.

One of the worst things that this episode does is the fact that it really does take it self a bit two seriously. Which does make the episode a bit less fun to watch as this is a show about talking ninja turtles and so it does have permission to be a bit more fun and be a bit more of a comic book show and while yes this show and this episode do indeed take there inspiration from the original comic books alot of the time tho those original comic books aren't that fun to read alot of the time either and whole yes the books can be fun to read as well they also knew not to take themselves all that seriously and while yes this episode does have it's more lighthearted moments as well for alot of the time it's playing everything straight and that doesn't make the show fun to watch and while yes making the show as campy as it was back in 1987 also wouldn't work for the tone of the show and the approach that the show was taking it also wouldn't hurt to make the show and this episode a bit more fun to watch like the fact that at the start of the episode they make a joke about the Purple Dragons mistaking the turtles for guys in costumes which is a solid joke but the episode does nothing with it like you could have made that joke even funnier just by having the turtles play along for a second in a goofy way before then beating them up which yes would have been seen as being campy but again this is a show that's about giant talking ninja turtles and so they can afford to be a little bit campy and bit alot more fun to watch as well.


This episode does technically have two villains as while there is a small group of The Purple Dragons that act as the main villains of the episode it could also be argued that Dr. Baxter Stockman could also be seen as being a villain in this episode as well. As it's his mousers that attack not only the turtles and ruin there home at the start of the episode but also keep on coming back to attack Splinter during the episode as well and neither villain is all that effective which in the case of Dr. Baxter Stockman does make alot of sense as he's not really meant to be seen as being the main villain of the episode as he doesn't technically make his debut until the very next episode in the case of The Purple Dragons they don't really have that much of an excuse as while yes they do get help from the Foot Clan near the end of the episode they don't do anything that effects the turtles during the episode and even get beaten yup by the turtles as well which does make sense given the turtles ninja training but at the same time these are meant to be one of he roughest gangs in the city and yet there being treated as being a throw away gang that aren't given all that much development outside of being a gang that works for Oroku Saki and while it does make sense that they would be easily defeated as there not a high level threat for the turtles to have in the first place you still want to start the series of in a strong foot and part of that does include having a good villain which sadly The Purple Dragons aren't that good or even that interesting of villains.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty one minuets and seventeen seconds. Which is a solid running time for this episode to have and is pretty much the bogstandard running time for this show to have as this episode really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that running time with the episode really taking as full advantage of it's running time that it really could have done but at the same time tho what would made this episode a little bit better then what it already is was if it was two episodes instead of the one as then it would make the story feel all the more epic then what it actually is and it would allow for more of the characters to get across what there personalities are in the first place something which alot of them are alot of them are able to do but at the same time alot of them just get across the most barebones look at there personality with the worst of example of this being Mickey who just comes across as being the jokester of the group where as with Raph you do still get that he's meant to be the angry one but at the same time you see moments where he uses his smarts instead of his muscles which does make him seem alot more smarter then what he lets one and with Donny he barely gets any dialog in this episode with Leo coming across as being the stoic leader of the group but at the same time we also see how deeply he cares for Splinter and if this episode was a little bitt longer then all four turtles would have gotten the chance to showcase more of there personality and not just Raph and Leo but I will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the episode having two action scenes in the episode and both of them look really good as we get to see what the turtles can do not only when there teaming with there Master Splinter but also when there fighting a huge number of people and our out numbered as well which is something that does give us some really fun action scenes with the best action in this episode being the one where we see the turtles take on The Purple Dragons as we get to see the turtles use there weapons in some really fun and creative ways like Donny using his bow staff to basically trip up two people behind him which is something that we really havn't seen in any other turtles media now and it's hard to see why as it is a really fun move and it's only a move that only the turtles could do as is the fact that we get to hear them have some really fun banter with each other as well and it really does help that it's during this episodes action scenes that the animation in this episode really does leap of the screen and really does blow you away with just how good the animation in this episode something that really does make the action in this episode all the more better then what it already is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a really solid episode and it's one that does serve as a good start to show that alot of people remember and have alot of passion for but at the same time tho this is an episode that could have been alot more better then what it actually is but it's still good episode even with all of it's many faults in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episode that I used in this very review being the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not all of the images that are on the official Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fandom wiki page are really all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always TV Special Review


There are a great deal a many TV shows that when you watch them as a kid they just stick with you and because of that they manage to break into the mainstream. Well that was the case with the first season of Power Rangers as back when it was first released back the nineties you really couldn't escape it and because of that love and passion for the franchise the franchise itself has been going for over thirty years spanning multiple seasons of a TV show three movies , countless video games , a live show and countless comic books and that's not to mention all of the toys that have been released for each season of the show well then the time to came to mark the franchises thirtieth it was only about right that the special focus on soe of the team that really started it all and so then join me as I give you my review of the special that sees the classic rangers return to take on a classic villain with the special in question being called simply just "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" enjoy.

The plot of this special when the evil sorcerous Rita Repulsa is accidentally brought back to life by blue ranger Billy and when his team suffers a great tragedy it's up to Bill , Zack , Kat and Rocky to defeat this robo menace before she manages to change history forever. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good as the plot of this special not only recaptures the magic of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but it also updates it in ways that make it feel more adult and have it tackle more serious themes that they couldn't possibly tackle in an episode of the show and while yes the plot of this episode could have been better as they write of Jason , Kim and Tommy in a way that goes against there characters the plot of this special is also one that could have been alot more worse then what the ultimately ended up getting as it would have been super easy to just put in a lackluster plot and sap the Power Rangers name on it and call it a day but they don;t as there quite clearly is alot of love and effort put into this specials plot and that is something that really shine through with the plot of this special also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this special is Walter Jones as Zack Taylor , David Yost as Billy Cranston and Steve Cardenas as Rocky DeSantos. Also starring in this special is Catherine Sutherland as Katherine "Kat" Hillard-Oliver , Johnny Yong Bosch as Adam Park , Karan Ashley as Aisha Campbell , Charlie Kersh as Minh Kwan , Richard Steven Horvitz as the voice of Alpha 8 and the voice of Alpha 9 , Barbara Goodson as the voice of Robo-Rita Repulsa , Ryan Cooper as the voice of Robo-Minotaur and Daniel Watterson as the voice of Robo-Snizzard.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting hat's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty really good. Which for Power Rangers is kind of rare thing as this franchise isn't really known for having good acting in it and if you want proof of that just watch any episode of the show or any of the movies which means that it really is surprising when this show does produce some really good acting in it as is the case with this special as even tho some of this specials returning cast embers had given up acting after they left the show they all very easily slip back into there roles as if they had just finished playing them the day before they were all due to start filming this special with the standout performer for this episode being Charlie Kersh as Minh Kwan who is just so good in this special that if she really wanted to she could very easily make it as an actress and it makes you wonder why they didn't have her appear with Billy unmorphed for Cosmic Fury as she really is just so good in this special with the acting that's in this special really being helped by the fact that this special script is just so good that all this specials actors really have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very special.


For once it's impossible to tell who did the CGI for this special as there are no effects company listed anywhere online or in the specials end credits. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty perso0 ally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty not that bad a CGI in Power Rangers has typically been really bad and yet here the effects actually look really good and while yes granted this special effects aren't feature film worthy but they were never meant to be as they were meant to be effects that look like that they would belong in the world of this show and to that degree this special effects worked really well with all of the blasts from Rita looking really good and while it would have been cooler if the blasts from Rita left some impact on the ground just to really sell that these blasts are powerful and could be quite painful where the effects do kind of fail is when it comes to Snizzard who when he's made to grow does become a computer effect and it looks really bad as it because obvious that it's a computer effect and not just a man in a suit which looked really better with the same thing also being true for the Megazord which when it was done in the nineties looked really good because it was a man in a suit and while the effects on the Megazord do look good your never going to do doing something for real. 


While this special isn't the first one to feature the death of a Power Ranger as that honor goes to Power Rangers Lost Galaxy and it's not even the first one to feature the death of a ranger on screen. What sets this apart from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy is the fact that the original yellow ranger actress did die in real life with this special killing off her character and that is something that sets this special apart from Power Rangers Lost Galaxy with this whole special pretty much being a feature length tribute to Trini Kwan which is something that does make sense as she was one the original five rangers but at the same time tho it would have been nice to have some of the focus of this special be on the other Rangers as well as this special is meant to celebrate Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a whole and not just the one character however tho it does make sense that the special address her death as it's something that would have been a huge elephant in the room and as a result of that is the fact that not only addressing it within the first few minuets of the special but also making it a huge plot point not only for the special but also for the character of Minh it does seem oddly fitting not only for this franchise but for the character of Trini as well as to many she is the best yellow ranger that the show has ever had and to have the special focus on her death really does set this special apart from an average episode of the show itself.

To give you all an idea of how adult that this special is they use the words kill and revenge quite alot in this special. Which might not seem like a big thing but please do bare in mind that Power Rangers has never ever used the word kill and hasn't really used the word revenge at least not that often and yet there used all of the time in this special and there used in ways that help to advance the character of Minh which is useful thing to do as her whole storyline is all about her trying to get revenge for the death of her mother and her learning that getting revenge won;t bring her mother back and sort of forms of cycle where each person involved is trying to get revenge on the other and on the flip side of that is the fact that we see Robo-Rita who has already gone down the path of revenge that Minh is currently going down and we see how that isn't the best way to go about things and how that can drive you to do things that will hurt you in the longer with Minh only coming round to seeking justice and not revenge after she saves two random innocent people from a putty attack but the message does kind of watered down when we see Billy quite literally stab Robo-Rita in the back with his Power-Lance but even then it could be argues that it was done to stop Robo-Rita from completing her plan and not to get revenge on her for killing off Trini with the very fact that he stabbed someone with his weapon also being something that we would never ever get to see in the actual show itself either.


Speaking of Robo-Rita she was a decent villain as it does make sense that she would be the main villain of this special as she is the villain that you think of when you think of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. With the character even having a good plan in that she wants to open a portal to the day in 1993 when she first got out of her space dumpster in order to give her advice on how to kill the rangers before they were actually rangers with this not only effecting the the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers but all rangers teams as well which is a solid enough plan and it does feel in character for her but at the same time tho the character oddly feels incomplete with the rest of her sidekicks there to help her out and to serve of comedy relief as there's no Squat , Baboo , Finster or Goldar in this special when it would have been fun to see those characters back in this special and it would have made sense to have them back as all of those character any worked with Rita in the original show and yet not only are they nowhere to be seen in this special the characters aren't even mentioned in this special as well when the special could have added them in not only to add some comedy into the special but it would also make this reunion special actually feel more like a reunion special but even with out all of those characters Robo-Rita is still a really good villain who is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job down and is actually quite smart as she's not just attacking Angel Grove she's attacking every place that has Rangers teams in them and she even has a device that allows her to track a team of rangers when there morphed which is a smart thin to do.

Now then this special has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and eight seconds. Which is a really solid for this special to have as this special really does have more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time and even the fact that this special has that long of a running time really does make it feel all the more special as it's quite literally the length of three episodes of the show and yet here it doesn't really feel that long as while yes those of us who grew up with the show are getting all of these cool little throwbacks to either iconic locations or even just by having the use of the iconic theme song at the start of the special it is something that does make this special feel more like a feature film as due to the fact that it's almost one hour long it also mean that the special really does have the time to fully develop it's plot in a way that the an episode of the show really wouldn't have the time to do and it also means that this special can also fully develop it's new characters as well with the best example of this being Minh herself who goes from someone who is rather understandably upset at Billy for the part that he played in the death of her mum to then fully understanding that it wasn't his fault to fully understanding what it truly means to be a Power Ranger and that is something that makes her come across as being amore likable character then what she really could have done and it's also something that the average episode of the show wouldn't be able to do with there shorter running times but I really will admit that this special really does have some really good pacing to it tho.


So now then as this is ana action special that really does mean that I have to actually talk the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very special well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that;s actually featured / presented to us in this very special was in all honesty. Which really isn't something that's all that surprising as the show has always had some really good looking action in it with this special not really being an except to that as we get to see noy only some really good an exciting fully morphed fights but there are also some really good unmorphed fights as well which is something that the franchise barely does well but when the show did them well you got something that's truly special and that's we got here as alot of this special felt truly special and while the action in this special did get let down by the CGI megazord and Snizzard fight when the fight is just the rangers taking either the Putty's , Snizzard , Robo-Minotaur or even Robo-Rita for that matter it was usually a very good fight scene with the best example of this being the first fight scene in the special as it gave you everything that you truly want to see in a Power Rangers special as you have not only all six original rangers fighting Rita and the Putty's but you also have the classic Power Rangers theme song playing in the background which just makes the fight all the more better in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this special was a great to celebrate Power Rangers thirtieth anniversary and with the franchise seemingly on hold for the time it does serve as a great way to show us just how good the franchise could be when it's under the right hands and got the right people working on it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very special in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very special really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com and google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very special that I used in this very review being the really great the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page really simply really is just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very special with alot of them being better quality then what you'd really think of with really all of the images are really of course up and really on the official Power Rangers fandom wiki page are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
