Mind you, sir Tape, my middle school required a laptop.  It was funny that way; otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gotten one.  At least, not for a few more years.

Wow.  So did the school front the cash for this One Laptop Per Child program, or did your parents have to front the bill?  What was it required for exactly?  Did you school not have a computer lab?  Am I beginning to sound old now?

I don't particularly want to divulge as to why they absolutely needed laptops, but we indeed did have to front the bill.  It's a unique school, to say the least (mind you it was private).  A few years later on they got a computer lab, but it's small enough that they still require laptops.

Wow.  Suddenly my imagination is brimming with reasons for clandestine laptop necessity to the point that it's driving me crazy, but it's cool.  I'll drop it.  =P

So how bout thems Power Rangers guys, huh?  They's good guys, huh?

Ah.  Funny story.  True story.  I was just beginning to edit my dialogue when I could have sworn I heard the faint sound of my roommate's cat.  "Did I accidentally shut him in my room?" I wondered.  But there he was lying at my feet.  "That's odd?  Do we suddenly have another cat?"  The faint meowing persisted.  It was only after a minute or so that I realized that I was hearing him meow on my audio track!!!  To get some privacy, I had recorded while my roommate was taking a shower.  Well, the little bastard started to miss her and began meowing, to my complete obliviousness.  So now I have to record this script a third time!!! (The first time was late last night, and my performance didn't turn out well at all.)

If you read that just wrong, your roommate (little bastard) was taking a shower and missing his female cat and so he started meowing.

Not sure why, but that cracked me up this morning.

I can't believe it's only been five days...!

I can't believe I've been talking about Power Rangers for over half an hour now!

Somebody shoot me!

Oh, and please enjoy, comment, etc.

You've probably noticed that I had to make a lot more logical deductions made in this one than simply cold, hard fact, so I hope I got it all right.  I found it quite hard to find any authoritative info on the subject, but I admit I actually felt quite a bit like zombie84.  =P

Okay, fine, be that way, you don't have to tell us... but now you know we will just have to assume the worst and most sinister reason we can possibly think up...

I am thinking along the lines of training academy for young cyber prostitutes, and you all needed your own laptops (with built in webcams) in order to preform live webshows...

OR

Maybe your school was training you guys to be expert hackers in some elitist secret society conspiracy...

Well, since C3PX's "secret communist conspiracy" thing fell totally flat, I guess it's up to me to keep this thread's integrity alive.

So Part IV is coming along quite a bit more slowly than the previous videos.  Until the other day, I knew next to nothing about Kakuranger (and as of right now have only seen the first three episodes).  And season three of Power Rangers is about the time I started to lose interest as a kid, so I don't really know it as well as the previous two.  Granted, I've pretty much figured out the broad strokes of how Kakuranger became season three, and I could probably go ahead and write my script and end up being totally accurate, I do want to put my research in first so that I'm sure I know what I'm talking about.

That said, I've actually found myself quite impressed with season three, and I'm beginning to wish I hadn't let myself fall out of the fandom when it was originally airing because these episodes are actually quite epic... well, for Power Rangers anyway.  A lot of multi-part story arcs and actual danger for the heroes to face. 

Hey!  Come to think of it, I don't think the last episode I watched had a single, solitary moment of Sentai footage in it.  Hmm.  Guess I can go home now.  There's nothing to analyze and compare to!  Oh, well!

=P

Gaff, it wouldn't let me comment last time I tried, but I'm loving these continuing videos. Saban worked way too hard on this show for us kids. After they changed Zords (which I always assumed was for no reason but to sell more toys), I kind of started to fall away, I think The Movie was the last thing I watched.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you again for making a video on stuff I didn't know I wanted to see but know can't imagine life without this knowledge. ;-)

The Movie was the last thing I remember being really excited about, and I had a bunch of the tie-in McDonald's toys.  Then I sorta fell away for season 3.  I remember one episode.  I remember gleaning most of my information about the new villains and powers and departure of Kimberly through friends talking.  But then I actually did get back into it at the end of the season, during the Alien Rangers thing, even recording episodes, something I hadn't done since season 1.  The lead-in and beginning of Power Rangers Zeo really piqued my interest.  I thought it was fresh and exciting and... then I immediately stopped watching again once Zeo actually got off the ground.  And... that was pretty much it for me.  I think I saw the Turbo movie with a friend, but I was practically a teenager at that point.  And then I remember hearing that the current show was "Power Rangers.... IN SPACE!!!" and I was immediately overcome with fits of laughter.  I mean, how out of ideas do you have to be to add "...IN SPACE!!!" to the end of your show?  Eh, but if Linkara's videos are to be believed, it was actually quite good.

Geez, I'd just like to see VFP's second episode conclude, whether it be in space, the outback, or a syringe-filled back alley.  Where the hell is VFP?!

Yeesh, looks as though I'm going to have to expand my Power Rangers series into one part plus an extra video for an epilogue.  I really didn't think season 3 would be that complicated.  Silly naive me from two weeks ago when I actually thought I might be able to do both seasons 2 and 3 in the same video!  Hah!  If only...

You take as many videos as you need. I'll be very disappointed if you don't have as many videos in the end as there are seasons of Power Rangers!

Ha, I'm afraid you'll be a bit disappointed then.  I really only intended to go through the Mighty Morphin era with a coda lasting through "In Space."  Mighty Morphin is the only era I'm familiar with (as I already stated, I actually stopped watching right around the beginning of season 3 with a brief resurgence around Alien Rangers and into the beginning of Zeo).  Also, Mighty Morphin is what I feel is the most interesting in terms of adaptation.  Season 1 is a fairly straight (as far as Power Rangers goes) adaptation of Zyuranger with seasons 2 and 3 being more of a Frankenstein monster reassembly approach that was never really attempted again afterwards.  Then subsequent seasons, as far as I can tell, return to the more straightforward season 1 approach although with a more seasoned and matured mindset in terms of storytelling and productions.  So I've really been trying to chart those awkward beginning years where they were trying to find their footing as well as revisiting a childhood favorite with an overly analytical adult gaze.

Granted, like Linkara, doing these videos has rejuvenated my interest in Power Rangers to the point that I might actually bother doing research on the later series.  But on the other hand, I've already watched so many episodes of Power Rangers and Super Sentai in such a short amount of time that it's soon going to produce an effect in me not dissimilar to what's exhibited in A Clockwork Orange.  =P
