Cassie or Karone
 

We know the original plan was Cassie to replace Kendrix. Who would you have rather had? My answer is obviously Karone.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I wanted to see Cassie come back. It would have been a cook carry over for Power Of Pink. I don't hate Karonex just wluld have fathered Cassie..

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Cassie all the way! Karone was too evil to be a Ranger.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I think it made more sense to go with Karone honestly. There was more to be done with that character. We already saw Cassie as a Power Ranger. Having Karone get to be a Ranger and have her redemption was the better story. Its just a shame some of her episodes were intended for Cassie, lime the one with Baxter. Sometimes her personality didn't match. But I am still really glad she came back. It does suck it took Valerie getting sick for any of this to happen.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

At least Valerie's story had a happy ending.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Definitely. I remember being shocked when I found out that was the reason why she got written out of Galaxy. Since I had no regular internet access at the time.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

It made much more sense for Karone to be the one to replace Kendrix.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Facing The Past was her only good episode though. Everything else seemed out of character or a let down. Well okay, her debut episode was good to. So that's two...I would have chose Karone though. Too bad they didn't write her character better.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

It all goes back to the last minute nature of her addition and the fact some of the scripts used were written with Cassie in mind..

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Plus there wasn't a lot of time left in the series and it couldn't become the Karone show.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Its likely Cassie would have got the shaft too. Giving their lack of time.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Agreed, Cassie alresdy had her time. We never saw Karone as a Rangsr so she made more sense.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I think the real reason they went with Karone is she needed her own redemption focus and this gave the perfect opportunity for it. Honestly I would have preferred Cassie but I can understand why Karone got it.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Cassie was the original choice. They just couldn't come to terms with Patricia to bring her back for the rest of the season. It did work out storywise because of the redemption story.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Only problem was we really got one episode about that and Karone kind of acted like Cassie most of the time. Or worse wasn't really there.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

That was a product of some of the scripts being written with Cassie in mind and the last minute nature of the change. But the redemption theory is a good reason to have brought Karone back.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I have nothing against Patricia or Cassie really...But I do feel the former Turbo/Space Pink was overrated at the time. I don't think she needed to return. There was more of a reason for Karone to come back.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

It was last minute there was only so much they could do with Karone. We are lucky we got Facing The Past. Really she only acted like Cassie in that episode where she is trying to help Damon become the master engineer.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Not to minimize Valerie but it would have been nice to have a whole season Karone.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

We could have had both, there are other Ranger colors.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Karone as Red Ranger would have saved us from Lord Leo. And been more interesting.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

You do realize they likely would have used the same Sentai Footage and Karone would have "hogged the spotlight "?

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Sentai Snob alert lol

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Nope. never was a part or that group ( are they even around anymore?). I love both PR and Sentai as they are. Was just pointing out that they would have used the same footage most likely.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Oh my my bad. I looked at your username too quick. I was just being funny anyway.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Karone versus Trakeena in the end would have been cool.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I just thought of something. What if they would replace Mike with Karone? It could have worked well for Karone's "learning to be good" storyline.

But than again - the issue would be who would be the new Pink Ranger. So I think that bringing Karone instead of Cassie as Galaxy Pink was the correct choice. It kind of sucks that they went back to Kendrix as Galaxy Pink for the LG/LR team-up. Karone would have worked better as she would have some simillarties with Ryan.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

No one could have predicted Valerie's illness. They just would have had to find someone else or tried harder to get Patrica back on board.

They likely brought Vernon back for the team up out of respect for the fact she was out sick. Or they didn't want to piss of the union. She came back in the finale due to union rules.

Even if Karone was in the team up she likely wouldn't have had many lines. The Galaxy Rangers were mainly treated like extras. Also Ryan wasn't in the team up. But I agree it would have been interesting to see those two together.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Perhaps Karone could have been Red and Andros could have "died" and came backb as Megna Defender.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I was disappointed there was no mention of Karone at all in Lightspeed. Thats why I was glad when she got to appear in Megaforce.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

Me too. Besides, it suits her.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

In fairness,the Galaxy Rangers barely got to do anything in the Lightspeed Team Up. They were kind of just there smiling in the background in most of the unmorpned scenes. So.its not surprising there was no mention of Karone.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

If she wasn't in the episode there really shouldn't have been. Since it would have distracted from the main plot. Especially since they barely had time to give anything noteworthy to the Galaxy Rangers that did show up.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

I'm surprised they even bothered doing a team up since it was so rushed and forgettable.

Re: Cassie or Karone
 

They did it as a tie in for Macdonalds. Who sold vhs of the team up under the Triple Force Title.
