Re: Power Rangers Samurai news...

I was actually going to post this as a comment to [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Friend away! =D *friends back*

Oh dear, haha, how many seasons have you watched? I finally just finished RPM, so now I'm all caught up and ready for Samurai! I... don't want to think of how many hours I spent watching all seventeen seasons. =P

Think of the fandom explosion that would happen if Tommy/Kim were seen onscreen, wedding ring on Kimberly's hand. XDDD That'd be the greatest thing to happen on the show, EVER. XD

Yaaay friended! =D

Actually *blush* I've watched the MMPR seasons (up through Kim leaving) and Dino Thunder. I'm kind of jumping all over now, trying to get through In Space but it's kind of killing me (Whyyyyy isn't Andros as awesome in the show as he is in fic?!) - Time Force is next on my "to watch" list.

People would be able to hear me running around screaming in OUTER SPACE. I would break physics with my pure, unadulterated excitement.

Oh man, haha, you've got some catching up to do! In Space is pretty damn awesome though, even if fandom does tend to make Andros cooler than he actually is on the show. (TJ's really hot, though, so maybe that makes up for Andros not having enough badass moments?) Have you gotten to the Psycho arc yet?

Time Force is amazing! It's one of my favorite seasons. In fact, maybe it is my favorite season. Also, beware: the acting is actually... *gasp* decent.

LOL! Well I'll probably not be watching Zeo (except for a few episodes [livejournal.com profile] second_batgirl has listed for me to experience the Adam/Tanya love) and I've been advised to skip Turbo. So right now, the next seasons to watch are Time Force, SPD and Ninja Storm.

Andros just angsts so damn much... and I say this as somebody who is writing one of the angstiest things ever. TJ is pretty darn hot, though... I could stare at him for a looooong time. And Carlos is pretty (so long as he stays quiet, LOL). But Andros makes Tommy look like he could skip around singing songs from musicals.

I haven't gotten to the Psycho arc yet, but I'm really excited to! That arc and Astronema are the only things keeping me with the season, LOL

Time Force is amazing! It's one of my favorite seasons. In fact, maybe it is my favorite season. Also, beware: the acting is actually... *gasp* decent.

THIS IS GOOD. I have only seen gifs of it, but Jen already appears to be really freakin' awesome. So I hold out hope!

Hahahaha if Kim/Tommy became an endgame-canon, the fandom would EXPLODE. Like, warzone explosions. But I survived the end of the InuYasha manga, so I hope I could survive that xD
