Let’s rocket into another week of Power Rangers In Space on Let’s Watch Wednesdays!

The Phantom Ranger has returned! On a quest to save Zordon from the clutches of Dark Specter, Phantom Ranger has encountered Divatox’s forces! Sending a distress message to the Space Rangers the Phantom has discovered Zordon’s location. Unable to rescue Zordon himself and badly injured, Phantom Ranger now holds the key to an even greater power for the rangers. The Delta Megaship! And the rangers have a couple other problems on their hands too! If it’s not Sting King & Waspicable, then it’s another of the Professor crazy inventions, the Evilyzer! Facing a horde of Astronema’s monsters it’s time to call on the power of the Astro Delta Megazord!

This week sees the introduction of an incredible piece of Power Rangers history & technology as well. Brief though it was, Episode 10 of Power Rangers In Space “The Delta Discovery”, not only saw the rangers receive the power of the Delta Megazord, but also the device used to control it. The Battlizer!

Battlizer of course refers to the numerous devices used throughout the Power Rangers franchise which have allowed various rangers (mostly Reds) to access a Battlized mode. Though we’ll see exactly how important this item is specifically to In Space in later episodes it’s legacy is unforgettable. Often a term more associated with the specific power ups/armors certain rangers have received over the years, Battlizer in this case references the device worn by Andros. Though it would later allow him access to his own Battlized Mode as well.

After last weeks shell shocking crossover the rangers are back to fighting Astronema’s forces on their own.

Meanwhile Bulk & Skull continue to get into high tech hijinks with the professor. Hijinks Astronema herself has taken an interest in, that can’t be good. And finally with Simudeck malfunctioning in an epic way Craterites have been unleashed on Angel Grove! It looks like these creepy creations intend to body snatch all the people in the city!

Since they’ve been brought up this week let’s talk Craterites! These odd foes of the rangers are normally just simulations produced for training purposes, but this week sees a Simudeck malfunction bring them into reality en mass. However in the Denji Sentai Megaranger footage used to create the series these creatures, the Kunekune, were front and center as the primary footsoldiers of the Nezirejia Kingdom!

The Kunekune were deemed a bit too silly and generic to be used for the Power Rangers adaptation of Megaranger. So in much the same way the previous years villains from Carranger, the Wumpers, were dropped in favor of the Saban developed Piranhatons, the Kunekune were dropped in favor of the robotic Quantrons. Though the Kunekune made it into the show as Simudec foes nearly all footage aside from this pertaining to them was removed from In Space.

Let’s take a look this week at one of the central villains of In Space, Dark Specter. As you may or may not have noticed by now Dark Specter bears a strong (100% identical) resemblance to another past foe of the rangers. Maligore from, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. That’s because the Maligore costume was simply reused for Dark Specter, though Specter could speak and was quoted as being substantially more powerful. At least once within the show’s continuity this resemblance was remarked upon by Divatox, who herself almost wed Maligore in the Turbo movie.

Blatant costume reuse of this nature doesn’t happen quite that much these days but it’s fun to notice. Off and on over the years various re-releases of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie have even featured the Maligore/Dark Specter image in the background of the DVD cover as well. This is itself even more odd as the central villain of that film was Ivan Ooze.

Let’s rocket! TokuNation users were asked which show they wanted to see next and they’ve answered! Power Rangers In Space is the next installment of Let’s Watch Wednesdays! 

With the beginning of this series we need a little back story from the last one. Power Rangers Turbo saw our heroes take a number of loses in it’s finale. With the Command Center destroyed the Turbo Zords annihilated & the Turbo Ranger powers gone, and leaving Justin behind, TJ, Cassie, Ashley, Carlos, & Alpha rocket away from Earth in hopes of finding and rescuing Zordon…..

Now, the old enemies of the Power Rangers are gathering, a new Alliance of Evil is forming, all under the watch of Dark Specter and his evil protege Astronema. Bent on destroying Zordon there’s only one force standing in the way of this alliance, a new Red Ranger! And while our former rangers struggle to find their bearings they’ll cross paths with this new hero and form a fantastic new team, the Space Rangers! But before this fledgling team of rangers really gets off the ground they’ll have a run in with some heroes of an entirely different nature. the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Bringing back out informational segment we begin this week with some background on this series. Power Rangers In Space was the final season in what would come to be known as the “Zordon Era”. The era in which the Power Rangers derived their guidance, powers, zords, and weaponry in one form or another from this legendary mentor and his direct associates. As you’ll find out when we approach the end of this series there’s a good reason why this season marks the end of that era.
