The power rangers have returned for another week of Let’s Watch Wednesdays at TokuNation! On a darker adventure than they expected this week, the rangers encounter a new enemy…
On a distant planet searching for Zordon, an old foe of Ecliptor and a new one for the rangers appears, Darkonda! A double crossing bounty hunter, what are Darkonda’s motives for working with Astronema? And how exactly he knows the princess of evil, even she isn’t aware. But the bigger question remains, what secrets can Darkonda be hiding from his new allies and the rangers? What does he know of Ecliptor’s past? When and how will he betray him? And what dose he know about Karone? All of these burning questions and more will begin to be answered this week on Power Rangers In Space!

This week we take another look at what makes Power Rangers In Space a little more unique from it’s sentai counterpart Denji Sentai Megaranger. The first episode we’re vieing thisweek, #13 Grandma Matchmaker, is actually a bit more of a mashup than you might realize. The footage for this episode actually originates from Megaranger 28!
The crazy thing about this episode is that in Megaranger the central focus of this footage was Mega Silver AKA the upcoming Silver Space Ranger. The episode was edited and reshot with a decent amount of new US footage to re-incorporate Ashley into it as the original episode features Mega Yellow only briefly. The scenes with the Quadro Blaster and Mrs Hammond driving the police cruiser are notably some of the footage used to pad out this transition.

Episode 13... Please make it stop
I hate the marriage interview episodes in Super Sentai. Really, truly, and aggressively hate them. I hate the pushy relatives, I hate the pretending to date a teammate, and I hate the hapless losers who sometimes show up as potential partners. This episode takes every aspect of those episodes and slathers on a coat of terrible 90s fashion and bad guest actor ADR. This episode can go to hell. It can go to hell and die.
Den-O says
Totally agreed with the verdict on In Space's version of this epiaode. I generally do like the marriage arrangement stories in sentai though as they often turn out to be fun albeit filled with tropes. But this is a really really poor American attempt at it.
