Re: Power Rangers Samurai news...

[anolinde]

I was actually going to post this as a comment to second_batgirl's entry, but it wound up becoming really bitter and I decided I'd rather spare her. =P

Warning: if you ship Skull/Kim (this isn't the spoiler, btw), this entry is probably not for you.

So, apparently Bulk is going to be in Power Rangers Samurai, along with a mini-Skull who refers to him as "uncle." Although the timeline wouldn't really work out unless Skull had a kid right after he left the show, given the show's continuity issues the kid is very likely Skull's anyway. In second_batgirl's entry, some people were speculating that the kid is Skull and Kim's.

Ugh, seriously?

First of all, I'm so done with Bulk and Skull. They took up way too much time during MMPR and (apparently I'm in the minority on this) I didn't find them remotely funny. They started out as obnoxious bullies and finished as obnoxious idiots. Even their rare redeeming moments weren't enough to make up for the fact that they were horrifically annoying characters and should never have gotten as much screen time as they did.

Second of all, if it turns out that Skull Jr. (who is actually kind of amusing in the preview, although his schtick might get old fast) is Skull and Kimberly's child - since the writers were, after all, apparently toying with the idea of announcing that the two had gotten married in "Forever Red" - I'm actually going to scream. How the fuck would it ever be okay for them to get together after Skull sexually harassed her throughout the first (and I believe the second) season of MMPR? Seriously, what the hell. It really, really bothers me when people ship them. Who fucking cares if he matured? "Oh, but that sexual harassment thing was so long ago, no big deal!!! Skull deserves Kimberly now." Ugh, fuck that shit. Fuck. That. Shit.

[/unpopular opinion]

ETA: Just to clarify, this is not intended to be directed at second_batgirl or any specific person commenting on the entry. (The "Ugh, seriously?" was a reaction to the possibility of the show doing this, not to the people who were speculating about it.) It's simply my frustration with Skull/Kim shippers in general - again, not with anyone specific - as well as the fact that the writers of the show seem to be amenable to the idea of them winding up together.

What planet do we live on again? O_o

I don't mind Bulk being back but this show is relying way to much on the original series. The inclusion of Spike aka Skull Jr is kind of annoying me. Maybe I'll warm to the idea later on.

In no way do I want that to be Skull and Kimberly's son. That was an idea that just seems so dumb. I liked that in the "Potion Notion" they became friends and that he moved on in Zeo.

We all know Skull and Kimberly were thrown together because they also wanted Katherine back to pick Tommy up as his wife, oh and Rocky as his butler. All bad ideas. Rocky belonged their as the red ninja ranger and Kat wasn't needed, the majority of fans really didn't love them that much as a couple and I'm sure people would have rather saw Ashley for Andros or even Kendrix for Leo.

FOR REAL? SERIOUSLY? Could you imagine what this would do to the entire fandom if it WAS Skull and Kim's kid?

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING MY FEELINGS INTO WORDS.
I was kind of stuck at the "ANGRY KEYSMASH" mode of the idea of Skull/Kim confirmed >.<;;

Amy Jo leaving Toronto for a cameo?

NO. Kimberly wouldn't leave Sam for Skull. Nuff said.

See my icon? That's the most wonderful-est Sam Braddock.

Sam = Tommy >>>>>> Skull.
