Hey Rad the Man! How you doing! Still using your avvy just the best one I have still even though its been over year since you've made it I guess lol
Anyway welcome to your interview hope you have fun :D
This interview should be completed within a week, but at the same time there are a few situations that may cause delay in completion. These situations include school, work, family events, emergencies, computer problems, etc. If one occurs just let me know through this thread or via Private Message, and we can continue this interview on a later date. I will let you know if anything in my life comes up as well.
Note that personal questions will not be asked in this interview.
I think I have covered everything so let us begin.
Your username; can you tell everyone the origin of your name? How you came up with it? Does it have a meaning to fan fic, or character you made up, or someone in Power Rangers?

Hey Pinkranger, not doin bad myself, how you doin? Glad to see you still using the av. That reminds me...

I come bearing gifts. I hope you like the avatar. I made it oversized in case you ever get Gold Membership.
So, about my username. I get this question a lot. What does Raditude mean? Well, I was thinkin one day, "Man, I'm such a non-conformist, an Anarchist, kind of unorthodox and extreme in my ways. I have such a Radical Attitude." Thus Raditude, was born. Raditude became my alter-EGO, and I emphasize the word ego. When I turn on my Raditude persona, I'm free, and sometimes cause a lot of commotion. It helped build my self confidence, and helped me break out of the shell. Pretty soon I convinced many people of my hype - hype that I don't even truly believe in. My ego is fake, but it get's a laugh out of some people, and they take interest in me, so I guess "Raditude" has done it's job.

Sweet avvy! my photoshop has gone from my laptop due to me wiping it, my laptop went metal and stopped working lol so will have to resize it, unless it does it auto on here hmmm but yes do like it, be a nice change for a while also, thanks dude.
Your meaning is pretty cool, you created a word which gives you self confidence I can see people using it like instead of I'm cool people could say ''I'm raditude'' or something :P
Name your top five favourite seasons of Power Rangers. Why are they your favourites? Did you like the villain's for these seasons? Is there anything you might slightly change about it?
If you do not have a top 5, list as many of your favourites as possible.
Raditude

I think the avvy should auto-resize, but if not, I can make it smaller for you.

So, my favorite seasons. I'd probably have to start it with Power Rangers In Space.
In Space was the first full season with an actual deep plot. From the beginning they had a mission to find Zordon. We also learned that Andros wanted to find his lost sister Karone. No previous season had a goal that took up most of the season. It set the pace for what Power Rangers is today. Besides the excellent writing, I liked the characters, the suits and the zords. Astronema and Dark Spector seemed to be the smartest and most competent villains we've had up until that point. They brought about a final showdown of good versus all the evil factions up until that point. It showed Bulk and Skull in their finest hour. It was also a sad season, because it marked the final time that the cast would carry over, and the end of the Zordon era.
My next favorite season would probably be Mighty Morphin Season 3. Season 3 was filmed mostly in America, instead of relying heavily on Sentai footage. The video and graphics were of better quality, and there was a lot of unmorphed fight scenes. This season had a few good plots, such as freeing Ninjor, retrieving the Falconzord, Kat being evil and the Alien Ranger miniseries. This season gave us Kat, who I deeply had a crush on back in the day. I really liked the Zords, and the Ninja suits. It was also the last time Tommy would be the White Ranger, which I think is when he was in his prime.
The next season on my list would probably be Time Force. I missed the original airing, but I went back and watched the episodes on Youtube, and when Jetix re-aired them. The season was amazing. This was probably the darkest season to date. It had the deepest plot of any season. We had a badass chick out for the blood of Ransik since she thought he killed her fiance. We had a guy who didn't want to inherit his father's company, because his father's company capitalized on the needs of the people. We had a loner trying to find his way and place in the world. Add it with supreme acting, and excellent fight scenes, and we have a winner.
My fourth favorite would probably go to Space Patrol Delta. This season had good acting, characters you could believe, and a pretty deep plot. Sky wanted to be like his dad who was also a Red Ranger, but had to learn respect for authority. He had the most character growth throughout the season. We also got a big lovable dog for a mentor, and it marked the first time a non humanoid became a ranger. I also liked the suits and the Zords in SPD.
I can't narrow it down to a 5th favorite season, as there are so many great seasons. I'll just briefly describe the high points of a few more seasons I enjoy. Mighty Morphin Season 1 started it all. Without it, this forum might be called NinjaTurtleTalk. Mighty Morphin Season 2 gave us the White Ranger, and Rocky, Adam, and Aisha. Zeo set us up for a yearly theme change. Turbo gave us a movie. Lost Galaxy had a teamup, and gave us some character development for Karone. Lightspeed had great actors and a decent plot. Wild Force gave us Forever Red. Ninja Storm had a good plot, was humorous, gave us Tori, had good music, and really showed Disney had some potential. Dino Thunder brought back Tommy for nostalgic purposes. Mystic Force gave us Xander. Operation Overdrive gave us a lot of good characters, and Once A Ranger. I haven't seen a lot of Jungle Fury, but from what I've seen it's a decent season as well.

I'll have a go at that one thank you :D
Nice list there I think most people have in space and time force in their top 5, and also chosing between DT/NS is hard like how you just sum up other seasons you like in your last choice.
A great evil is loose. It's your job to construct a ranger team. Out of all the rangers available from all the different Power Ranger/Sentai seasons, which ones would you want on the team? These can be from each season and you can have whoever you like, so Five Rangers one Sixth ranger Or SPD style and have 8.
In addition, why you would chose them as well, what makes them good enough?
Raditude
10-05-2008, 09:20 AM
Hmm, a ranger team. Well that sounds fun.
For the lead ranger, I'd want the most experienced we can find. I'd choose someone who's seen a lot of things, and is a well rounded leader. The only ranger that comes to mind here is Tommy. He's been an active ranger for 6 years, 5 consecutive. He lead the team in many alternate dimensions, went into Space at least 3 times, and is an ultimate martial artist. He is calm and collected, yet can strike fear into anyone who challenges him. For leader, I'd choose Tommy as the White Ranger with the Ninja Powers.
The second in command needs to be someone who can lead in the event the first in command is unable. He or she needs to have discipline, and display a good fighting ability. Sky displayed that he is willing to learn to follow before being a leader. He also kept Jack in line when Jack was slacking. For second in command, I'd choose Sky as the SPD Red Ranger.
We need a technical genius on the team that can build or create different things when needed. Someone who can work just as well behind the scenes as out in the field. Damon helped fix the AstroMegazord, plus knew how to fly it. He was a great addition to a fight as well. For my technician ranger, I'd pick Damon the Green Galaxy Ranger.
For my next ranger, we need someone who is athletic, fun, and cheerful to help keep the ranger's moral up. Tori has a wonderful personality, she surfs, which takes a lot of skill and energy, plus she studies martial arts. Tori, the Blue Hurricane Ranger is my choice for the supportive ranger.
Every team needs a strategist. A strategist usually has to have been a leader at one time, and can be called upon to lead again. Jen lead the Time Force team, and was a strong fighter. She is one of the smarter rangers, and can come up with a plan that will take down the threat with minimal work. She is strong willed, and prefers to finish working before play. Not to mention, she also kicks major butt. For my strategist, Jen the Pink Time Ranger is the only choice.
For my sixth ranger, we need a powerhouse. Someone that can fight, and take down
enemies alone. The sixth ranger has to be good at working by themselves for solo missions, but still willing to work with the others when necessary. Eric is used to being a loner, but has learned to accept the others as his teammates, and now welcomes their help. He is an excellent fighter, and is armed better than most other rangers For my sixth ranger, I choose Eric the Quantum Ranger.
I think I'll go the SPD/Mystic Force route, and have 8 rangers.
For my seventh ranger, we need a wise man. Someone who is older, and has much life experience, and doesn't think like a teenager. Daggeron has spent many hours training to be a knight, and fights with honor and valor. He has much integrity, and can be a mentor to the other rangers. The seventh ranger spot on my team goes to Daggeron, the Solaris Knight.
For the eighth ranger, I went back up and looked at the question, and noticed you said in Sentai or Power Rangers. For the eighth ranger, I think I'll choose someone who only appeared in Sentai, but represents every other ranger ever to serve. AkaRed represented 30 years of ranger teams in Japan, so I imagine he'd represent all the rangers in Power Rangers as well. He is the spirit and essence of all Powers. I kind of think Zordon might live on in him. With Akared the spirit of all rangers on our side, I don't think evil will stand a chance.
Pinkranger
10-06-2008, 10:27 PM
I like how you chosen on skills as well, like a leader then a technical, athletic and strategist etc, thats cool, you chosing characters you like but also how they stand out with what they do best and how they can help in the team.
Thus far which Power Ranger/Super Sentai team up has been your favourite? Why is it your favourite? What has made it your favourite? Was there anything that the team up was lacking? Explain.
Raditude
10-07-2008, 09:23 PM
I dig quite a few of the teamups. I'm sure many people say they enjoy Once A Ranger, and Forever Red, which are both great in their own rights, but they seemed to lack a deep plot that holds your interest. Once A Ranger was rushed, and Forever Red had so much more potential they didn't achieve Luckily that potential was unlocked in the Sentai counterpart Gaoranger vs Super Sentai. Reinforcements From The Future was done well, but it wasn't as epic as my choice.
If I were to narrow it down to one ultimate teamup, I'd have to go with the AstroRangers and the Galaxy Rangers in "To The Tenth Power," and "Power Of Pink." This teamup had a great plot, and a good battle. There was a good reason for the AstroRangers to come back, and we also got to see the Psycho Rangers. Unlike any other teamup, this one wasn't just a filler episode. What happened in these episodes affected the rest of the series. We see Kendrix go into the storm to save Cassie's Morpher, which resulted in Kendrix's death. We are then treated to the return of Karone for the rest of the season, and then ultimately Kendrix being brought back to life later. This teamup was deep, dark and had a lasting impact on the season. That's why this teamup is the best.
Pinkranger
10-10-2008, 11:01 PM
Once and Red are good team ups, but the LG and In Space one is just as good, a ranger dies to save another which is a first and the Psycho's whats not so good about it :p
In Power Rangers, we are seeing a lot more Rangers with genetic powers, which one that appeared in the show would you want and why? What would you do with it? Would you use it for personal gain? Would you tell anyone about your gift?
Raditude
10-11-2008, 10:03 AM
Oh man, genetic powers. Hmm, SPD had some pretty out there powers, like self-replication; man, I don't think this world could handle two of me. Hahaha. I could be a pervert and do the super stealth invisibility, but my conscience would kill me. I don't think I could handle the super sonic hearing like Will, because, man I can't sleep with all that noise.
In all seriousness, I think I can only narrow it down to two powers, and they really compliment each other. Super strength, and super speed. I'm not a real big guy, and I'm a little out of shape, so any help in those departments would be a blessing. I'd have to use the powers to help people when I can, because I'd feel it's my duty. I'd chase down bad guys, stop cars that are about to wreck, and even help old ladies carry heavy loads. With super speed, I could save a lot on gas, since I could just run everywhere. Of course, I'd try to impress the ladies with my awesome expositions of strength.
Pinkranger
10-11-2008, 10:55 AM
Super Speed would be great, could go anywhere and be there in seconds and no tarffi, and yes save on gas lol would help loads!
''help old ladies carry heavy loads'' lol awww hanging out at the local supermarket would be the place to start XD
Out of all the Rangers who is your favourite and why what is so great about them? Did they do anything that you really liked about them more? Would you change anything about them?
Raditude
10-11-2008, 01:09 PM
I think for my favorite ranger, I'm gonna have to go with someone who is very much like me; Eric Meyers, the Quantum Ranger. We have a lot in common. We're both kind of loners, yet can lead when it's needed. We both have a way of impressing higher ups, and often find ourselves in the middle of good job opportunities. Even though Eric put on the bad ass image, he still had a heart of gold, as seen when conversing with his young neighbor. Eric was a stubborn ranger, with a strong willpower. Unlike me though, Eric is an excellent martial-artist.
I can't really say there's anything I'd change about Eric, except making him accept his friends from the beginning (though that would make the story less interesting).
Pinkranger
10-12-2008, 10:47 PM
Eric is awesome!!!
Do you watch any Sentai? If so do you like to watch some before a new season of PR starts? Which Sentai seasons have you seen? What is there about Sentai that you like that you wished they would do in PR?
If you have not seen any Sentai, would you like to? If not, why?
Raditude
10-12-2008, 11:05 PM
I've downloaded a few episodes of DaiRanger, but I didn't understand much of what was going on. I've watched subbed episodes of a few of the newer series. I mainly watch the teamups, because they're usually the best episodes. It let's me compare Super Sentai with Power Rangers. I usually enjoy the Japanese teamups more than the Power Ranger ones because they are longer and have a better plot. They should adapt the plot of the teamups a little better, and use the footage in Power Rangers. Sentai is usually more mature, and for older audiences.
Pinkranger
10-14-2008, 09:14 PM
What is the earliest Power Rangers memory you have? Was it watching the show? Getting some PR merchandise? What was it that made you keep watching?
Raditude
10-14-2008, 09:50 PM
Well, I wasn't really a fan from the very debut episode, because I was a little out of touch with what was popular. I was in Kindergarten, and everyday at recess, everyone played "Ninja Turtles." I played, but never got into it. One day, everyone decided they wanted to play "Power Rangers," and I was like, "Ok." We all ran around playing that, and we saved the world everyday during recess. I then thought, "Man, I oughtta watch the show and see what this is all about. I tuned in, and became a an instant fan of the series. Everyone at school talked about Power Rangers. It was the subject the "cool kids" talked about.
Pinkranger
10-14-2008, 10:12 PM
Saving the world everyday lol
SPD gave us our first female red ranger, yet she was evil. What are your thoughts and feelings of having a female red ranger leading the main team? Leading the side of good. What are your thoughts and feeling of having a female lead the main team for an entire season? Would you like to see another female red ranger? Do you think having one would go well with the fans? Do you think it would go well with the marketed audience (little kids)? Do you think it would go well with hard core fans (members of discussion boards)? Do you think Disney should make the next red ranger female even though in Sentai the ranger is male? Do you think they should wait for Sentai? Explain.
Raditude
10-15-2008, 09:42 AM
Personally, I'm like Sky was at the end of SPD, when Cruger said, "If I make Syd Red Ranger, would you follow her into battle?" His response was, "I'd follow anyone you feel is qualified to wear the Red Ranger color." I agree with that. There have been many woman leaders throughout history, why can't we have that in Power Rangers? I have no qualms with a female Red Ranger, as long as they can lead. Jen would have made a great Red Ranger. I think it'd be great to see another female Red Ranger for a whole season.
As for the fans, I think it would be a mixed reaction. A lot of the old school fans would probably think it breaks tradition, and raise a stink about it. But others are open minded, and would find it a nice change. Most young boys, find girls repulsive (I never did), and wouldn't want to have a girl as leader... especially if they are used to guys leading the team. Having a female red ranger might actually attract more young girls to watch, and have a new role model (as opposed to Hannah Montana or Barbie). As for the hardcore fans, I think the feeling would be mixed.
As for making the next Red Ranger female, I think that Disney should hold off until we have a female Red Ranger in Sentai, or film every scene themselves. Everytime they've used a female ranger for a male sentai counterpart, it looked odd. Remember Trini, Kelsey, Katie and Taylor.
Pinkranger
10-15-2008, 11:16 PM
Did you like the fact of the original rangers leaving? Did it make you sad to see them go? Or were you happy about it? What did you think of the replacements? And what did you think about the rest leaving in later on in Turbo? What are your thoughts about this?
Raditude
10-15-2008, 11:41 PM
I never seen too much of season 1 until after season 2 and 3 aired. I was used to seeing Rocky, Adam and Aisha, though I knew they replaced Jason, Trini and Zack. It didn't really bother me too much, because the second team seemed to have better chemistry. I was kind of glad to see Katherine join the team. I fell in love with her the first time I seen her. I was sad to see Aisha go, but Tanya wasn't a bad replacement. When they changed in Turbo, I was upset. I was upset partially because I missed the episode where they did it, and came in to see an episode with the new cast, and I was like "What happened?" I didn't really respect the new team until Power Rangers In Space came along. That's when they shined, and looking back, I can respect them in Turbo as well.
Karol

Well Rad, seems that the not as awesome as I am interviewer is dealing with some personal problems and I'm not sure when she's going to be back, whether tomorrow or next week..so I'll take care of her interviews in the mean while..hope it's alright..Sowy for the delay.
Which villains in Power Rangers do you like the most? Which ones do you hate the most and why? Which Villain do you think beat the rangers more then any other one? Which one do you think would have been better in another season for example the villain in SPD might have been better in IS.
Raditude
10-22-2008, 07:17 AM
Hey, that's fine Karol. Thank you for picking up where she left off. If you're reading this Pink, I hope all goes well with you.
I have to stick with the classics for this one. Rita, Zedd and company are probably my all-time favorites. They had a lot of character development, and kept me entertained through the first 3 seasons, especially in the third. I also liked Astronema, because she was more war-like, and kind of vicious, and really helped make Power Rangers a more serious show. I also admired the nobility of warriors like Ecliptor, Villimax, and Koragg.
I didn't like the Machine Empire very well. Saban relied solely on Sentai footage, and it just didn't flow very well. The Machine Empire could have worked better in Turbo or Operation Overdrive, so it would be Machine vs Machine.
I think Koragg layed the beatdown on the Mystic Rangers quite a bit more than other seasons' rivalries. In a way, the Mystic Force Rangers looked weak all season because of constantly being beaten by him and various other enemies.
Karol
10-22-2008, 12:04 PM
Lol, it's funny how different your favorites are.
Do you like when a ranger team starts off with 5 and eventually is joined by a 6th ranger? Or do you like it when a team starts with 3 and eventually is joined by two or more? Explain within detail the one you prefer
Raditude
10-23-2008, 03:25 AM
Well, to me, it doesn't really matter, but I got used to the starting with 5 and adding 1. It makes the team feel more complete from the start, and then when the sixth member joins, it's totally unstoppable. With 3 then 2, there are less characters to start, meaning they have to compensate for extras, and seems to throw the team out of balance.
Karol
10-23-2008, 03:46 AM
What aspect of Power Rangers is your favorite? (The posing, Zords, helmets, etc?)
Raditude
10-23-2008, 06:49 PM
I think the whole concept in general is appealing to me. You got these teenagers who morph into spandex clad warriors, who fight monsters, and then once they think the monster is destroyed, he grows and comes back for more, so they break out the heavy artillery. Where else do you see something as great as that? I think the best part of the show is the unmorphed fight scenes. They're more realistic, and you can see some pretty amazing martial arts action.
Karol
10-24-2008, 02:37 AM
I agree with you, the unmorphed fighting scenes are like the awesomest part.
If you could create a Power Ranger season what kind of PR would you have, where would it be set, what year, what color be the leader, how many rangers? What would the villain be like?
Raditude
10-25-2008, 01:10 AM
I've explored this in my fanfiction "Power Rangers Eltarian Force." The powers were ancient, from Zordon's home planet of Eltar. The rangers were actually set in the town of Blue River, which is a suburb close to Angel Grove. I originally started writing this in 2004, but it could be set in any time really.
The Rangers were lead by the 6th Ranger - The Divine Ranger, who organized the team, but he took a back seat to the Red Ranger in battle. There were 6 Eltarian Rangers, Red, Blue, Green, Black, Yellow and the Divine which was primarily White. The Black Ranger started off as the evil Dark Ranger, and the main villain but was purified and joined the team. Her second in command, Rage then took over as the main villain, who was backed by an even more powerful villain known as The Wicked One.
Karol
10-25-2008, 02:18 AM
Woah! that sounds amazing!
If you could create a Power Ranger team made up of Villains who and why?
Raditude
10-25-2008, 04:45 PM
Oh man. Never thought about this one.
I think I would have Koragg as the Red Ranger. He seemed to be the one most qualified to be leader a leader, since he never lost his cool. Frax was a technological expert so we could make him the Blue Ranger. Goldar was a great warrior, who could be the Black Ranger.
The Yellow Ranger would go to, Trakeena because she had the dedication to learn how to fight. And the Pink Ranger would go to Astronema, because Astronema is ruthless but still has a soft side.
Karol
10-25-2008, 05:11 PM
If you could make an adult version of PR more grown up so you could have more action and blood or swearing, what would you do to make it more for an older audience and what season would like to make as an mature season for adults? Also would you re-cast the same cast or pick new people?
Raditude
10-25-2008, 06:33 PM
I've thought about doing this. Kind of like making a Smallville version of Superman. I really think they should make an adult oriented version of Power Rangers for the fans who have grown up. I would probably want them to stick to the original (Zyuranger) suits, as a tribute to the first season, but maybe update them a little, like in The Movie. I'd have the rangers in a post-high school life, working jobs. The villains would be crime bosses, and technological entities bent on world domination. I don't think I'd include any mecha in the adult version, unless the crime boss built a mecha of their own. I would also include relationships between the rangers, and allow a little bloodshed and a few adult words. I'd keep it rated PG-13 at the most. As for the cast, I think we would need a newer cast, but some of the old cast members could make cameo appearances.
Karol
10-25-2008, 08:51 PM
Wow that sounds awesome..
If you where asked to be a ranger in real life, which Villain would you want to battle, which PR outfit, which Ranger, which mentor and where about’s would you set it?
Raditude
10-25-2008, 09:20 PM
I'd like to be the Quantum Ranger. The Quantum Ranger is a major BAMF. I'd keep the Quantum suit, and I would battle evil anywhere I'm needed. My mentor would have to be Zordon.
Karol
10-26-2008, 05:34 PM
Cool, now a scary question to ask you...
Ok if you were a villain in PR, what kind of villain would you be? Would you have any powers?
Also we all know Villains always lose but in this case you will win, so what is your plan for destroying the Power Rangers and also which team would you like to destroy?
Raditude
10-26-2008, 07:20 PM
If I was a villain, I would be a master of disguise. I'd look like every other human being, but have a twisted mentality. I would have the power to shapeshift and bring destruction down upon anything I look at. To destroy the Power Rangers, I would fight dirty, attacking them as they morphed. I would find the Zord's hiding places and destroy them while the rangers are leading their normal lives. I would then take from them their powers, and never give them the opportunity to have them back.
Which team should I destroy? Well, I'd want to make a name for myself, so I'd have to destroy the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or the Astro Rangers. I'd be legendary for defeating the legends.
Karol
10-26-2008, 09:05 PM
Haha, that would work way too well
For you to think about, you think being red ranger, in other words leader, is decided by gender and/or looks, or by capacity, leadership, and/or by a good heart?
Raditude
10-30-2008, 12:17 AM
Behind the scenes, the leader is determined by the Sentai footage, and also by it being marketed to young boys. Most young boys would probably prefer a male leader. In the series, I would say that the leader is usually determined by ability to lead, capacity and heart. Without them, then the team will be lost. They want to present a good role-model image of teamwork and leadership, so that's probably a something they want to emphasize.
Pinkranger

Hey RadMan!!! hope Anahi looked after you well and hope yourself am fine, I had an uexpected visit to hosp for a week, got proper ill, but morphine was nice.... lol But I am back and ready to over your interview once more :)
Would you ever like to see a ranger go evil? Like is the villain in a new season?
If so which one and why? What do you think would make a ranger want to be a bad guy and fight for evil?
Or a ranger chose the side of evil half way though and season and stick with it, like they where betrayed or something else?
Raditude
10-31-2008, 08:05 AM
Hey, welcome back, glad you're doin ok. I bet you were feelin Morphine-nominal for awhile.
Being a peaceful and loving guy, I don't want to see anyone go evil, really. But as a viewer from the real world, I think it would make for a great plot. If I had to choose a character, I would have to go with Sky from SPD, maybe. I know it would go against his character development in SPD, but it would be an interesting twist for him to be fed up with the chain of command, or to have a complete change of heart. He might seek revenge for his father's death, or perhaps one of his best friends was "destroyed" in battle.
Pinkranger
11-02-2008, 11:39 PM
Thanks for you comment saw it the other day, Rad your sweet and a cool dude man!
Sky has anger issues at times I think so yeah you could see him going bad and the whole not being red at first...just a colour lol
Which Power Rangers season had the best opening to a season and ending? What makes a good opening and Ending in your opinion?
Raditude
11-03-2008, 11:34 AM
Aww thanks Pink, glad to have you back.
You mean the opening and ending credits, or the first and last episodes?
For the opening credits I'd have to go with Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They were the original, and they were the best. For the ending credits, I liked Mighty Morphin Season 3 through In Space, because they showed the Blooper Reel.
For the premier episode of a season, I'd have to go with Time Force. We got so much to start that season with. Ransik is on his way to jail, escapes and defeats Alex the Red Ranger, while his fiance Jen watches in horror. They then travel back in time and find Alex's ancestor to unlock the morphers and set the season rolling.
For the finale, I have to stick with Countdown To Destruction in Power Rangers In Space. CTD was the end of the Zordon era, and brought closure to the 6 year story arc that started in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It was done well enough to be the series finale to all of Power Rangers. Never before and never after has there been a Power Rangers episode so epic.

Both is fine, but opening/ending episodes.
I loved the blooper reel why did they stop that, it was funny.
Great opening and final episodes you chose them to will always be remebered.
Is there an episode of Power Rangers that you do not like? Or is there something else in PR that annoys you?

I would probably have to remove the In Space episode "Shell Shocked" from continuity. I just don't like how Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles exist in the same universe. In the premier episode, Zack sarcastically said "and I'm a Ninja Turtle." This lead us to believe that The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weren't a part of the Power Ranger Universe, but a few years later, we find out they exist. I like the Ninja Turtles, but they seem to take away from The Power Rangers when adding them to the season.

That team up was not right..was like random and didn't fit, totally agree with you it wasn't just right.
Which was your favorite ranger from each season? And only one, not two one you have to pick one! Just want to make it harder for you And why them?

MMPR Season 1: Tommy. I know, that's who everyone picks, but he's one of the greatest.
MMPR Season 2: Rocky. He was funny, and brought a light heartedness to the team.
MMPR Season 3: Katherine. I was in 3rd grade, and had the biggest crush on her. Enough said I guess
Zeo: I'd have to give this to Jason. He was back, and never looked better. This time he was the Gold Ranger.
Turbo: Adam. He was a calm and collected ranger and his spirit was of peace, and brought joy. I liked him better in Black, but he was great all around.
In Space: Andros. He was quiet, soft spoken, and a great leader, one of my favorites. He was also Man-Pretty.
Lost Galaxy: Karone. Something about a girl in leather just makes me happy.
Lightspeed Rescue: Joel. He had the most character development, and the most outgoing personality.
Time Force: Eric. He was the badass loner, much like myself.
Wild Force: Alyssa. She was hot. (Merrick gets honorable mention here)
Ninja Storm: Tori. A great personality, and really beautiful... especially when she was surfing.
Dino Thunder: Kira. *Sings* "Yeah you're for me punk rock girl"
SPD: Sky. Most character development, and overcame a lot of inner and outer battles throughout the season.
MF: Xander. Need I say more? Ok his personality is great, and makes me laugh when he tries "Plan Xanduh"
OO: Ronnie. Did you see the episode where she was sprinting? Wow!
JF: RJ. I just dig his personality. He's also the lone wolf ranger, kinda like me.

I like your list its different to most, 'Plan Xanduh' was a great joke in MF.
And Rad I hope you have had a fun interview, its been nice to interview once more again always a blast XD
I only have one question after that other members are free to ask you anything.
If you could make a team of Power Rangers used from RT members who and why? Which team would you be? Would you have 6 rangers or more? Also would you use any for villains just for fun of course?
Once more hope you had fun
Pinkranger.

I had a lot of fun with this interview Pinkranger. Thank you for taking the time to interview me, and I wish you good health and all the best in your future endeavors.
As for my team of RT Members, this is the question I've been waiting for for awhile.
Let's start off with our mentor. Who better to be the mentor then the one who makes this place possible: Mike (currently known as RJ).
For the Red Ranger, I'd have to go with Raging Phoenix, because he's a good leader, and never loses his cool on anyone.
Blue would go to Adamantium Ranger, because though retired now, Addy was a real team player on the board.
Vendetta Black would be the Black Ranger. He was calm and collected, and very wise.
Two of the loveliest ladies on the board would be Yellow and Pink. Karol (Anahi) and Alice (Pinkranger) respectively.
For the 6th ranger, I'd probably have to go with myself, because the 6th ranger is usually an outsider, and I have been somewhat distant from the board as of late. Maybe that could change though.
