Yesterday in part 1 we met the new Rangers and their enemies. I will say that the concept of the Rangers protecting the normal and magical worlds is a decent idea. The question is where they go with it. Let’s return to Briarwood and see what the team is up to. It ended with finding the last dragon egg.

I’ve said before that I thought Crisis On Infinite Earths was a great story but a failed project since the continuity errors that followed screwed up the new DC Universe from the get-go. However, Chris Sims has found some more things COIE did wrong. As he says, it’s a mess.

Now that EZ has shown us what the original Sentai was like, it’s time for Linkara to take the podium. Power Rangers Mystic Force was a show that I had a feeling I wasn’t going to get into. Despite the fact that The NeverEnding Story is my favorite movie I’m not typically a fantasy fan and Mystic Force (thanks to Magiranger) was steeped in it. I don’t know if the Harry Potter franchise had hit Japan at the time Magiranger came out but I’m sure Disney was more than happy to use the release to bring us a Power Ranger team that appeared to be taking cues from it. I did honestly give it a few episodes and while I really can’t tell you what role my spiritual beliefs played versus my general disinterest in this kind of fantasy production it just didn’t grab my attention so I waited until Operation Overdrive to resume my Ranger watching.
But that review is Linkara’s current show and I tend to stay one team behind so you have to go there. So go there if you want the latest installment. We’re headed to the last one, because here come the Power Rangers Mystic Force!
