Hold on to your hats because this is going to bring some interesting discussion!

As you may recall, Karan Ashley (Aisha, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) rejected the offer to return for a cameo in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. Fans have been polarized on their opinions – some think she, along with others that rejected the offer to return, should have done it for the fans. Others have expressed sympathy knowing that Haim Saban is relatively cheap and that he, and the production company, should have done more to bring back original cast members for the reunion.

After these polarized opinions have each been expressed on her Facebook page, Karan Ashley felt it was time to address the whole situation on our Uncensored Radio Show with her co-host Jeffrey.

The clip, courtesy of nightmere10 on Twitter, can be found below.

WARNING. CLIP CONTAINS USE OF PROFANITY.

There you have it, straight from the mouth of Karan Ashley. I’m sure all of you have some thoughts, comments, and concerns of things brought up in the clip – I know I did as a fan. Go ahead and post your thoughts and comments in this thread.

With production seemingly only wanting 10 previous cast members to return and now others such as Blake Foster getting the axe on reappearing we assume that the Super Megaforce casting news should be dwindling down to a minimum. Thank you all for sticking through as we hashed out who was returning and who wasn’t.

Share your thoughts in discussion!

Unfortunately, it seems the Blue Turbo Ranger will NOT be back in Super Megaforce.

Confirmed through Mr. Fosters’ Facebook page, the former actor was unable to agree with Saban’s terms and thus the scheduled appearance fell through. :(

Everyone is well aware of the tweeted photos of Ciara Hanna (Yellow Ranger in Power Rangers Megaforce) and Jason Smith (Red Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury). But now thanks to Fury Diamond and his blog at RangerCrew, we can shed more light on what exactly Jason Smith is doing in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

Jason Smith, or Casey the Red Ranger in Power Rangers Jungle Fury, is going to have his own tribute episode in Power Rangers Super Megaforce. But more than that, Jason Smith is also now WRITING episodes in Power Rangers Super Megaforce.

That’s an interesting development – return for a tribute and stay on board to write some episodes. Jason Smith is a Power Rangers and Super Sentai fan, having watched GoBusters and the current Kyoryuger series in Japan.

What do you guys think? Is having a Power Rangers Alumni write episodes for Power Rangers a good thing? Discuss away!

If you’re ready for some lighthearted fun in the form of a mockbuster movie, then get ready for Atlantic Rim! This movie features extremely simple dialogue with robots that look like they’re right out of Real Steel fighting giant lizard monsters in cities. This movie features a bunch of people we haven’t heard of along with Treach from Naughty By Nature fighting “very large” monsters and stuff from the sea.
