We told you , that you would like it.

Timeranger just doesn't appeal to me. And I didn't like how Time Force was like a translation of it. They should have went with the time travel plot.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

The Time Travel plot probably wouldnhave worked better. Since they were never going to go all the way with Timeranger's darkness. I do think TF still had strong characterization.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

Jen, Wes, and Eric were the only ones that got real depth out of all the Rangers. And that was due to translating Sentai. Trip, Katie, and Lucas were.very under developed. It also didn't help that we got repeat filer episodes where characters learned the same episodes over and over again. Simply because its a trait of Japanese TV to redo storylines.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

It doesn't matter to me where it came from . I just like those three characters were welk done. Its better than just having one Red Ranger and everyone else. The characters did all feel more developed in the end. So I don't think the repeated lessons were that bad.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

Time Force was just too serious and didn't feel lime Power Rangers.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

I agree Time Force was much too serious. "Movie Madness"and "Nadiera's Dream Date" was really fun. But most of the other episode were too dark. Even if they weren't as bad as Timeranger.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

Being dark for darkness sake doesn't help Power Rangers. And to be fair Time Force didn't copy all of the Sentai's darkness. The real problem was it formatted its show like it was Timeranger. Particularly after the first ten episodes. The show became a Sentai hack that forced the characters to act like there Sentai Counterparts and veered the show away from the message of "Making You're Own Destiny".

We also get several episodes with the same theme. Jen and Wes learning to trust each other numerous times. We get numerous episodes of Trip being gullible, two episodes of Lucas learning how to drive, and Katie never really changes. They also leave behind the interesting idea that Time Force could be flawed and full of prejudice. Which causes Ransik to lose the great sympathy story-line he could have had.

Also the end totally makes takes away the "Make Your Own Destiny " narrative. As the Time Force Rangers just return home because they have to. Jen and Wes don't stay together because they can't. Which flies into face of Wes' character arc.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

Timeranger sounds like some crazy serious. I kinda thought Time Force was still good. There was actually some comedy mixed in anyway.

Re: The darkness of Timeranger
 

Its a shame Goldar, since the first ten episodes were great stuff and really set up what could have been a great season. But we know what happens when PR aims to high.
