Linkara's History of Power Rangers is a well reasoned, if not opinionated evaluation of seasons of power rangers going from start to finish. Due to sheer Bulk, I wasn't nearly as interested in watching the zordon era when it came on. However, this review is a unique kind of review in that it actually inspired me to go back and watch a series from start to finish. The first one that got me to go back to the beginning. That review was for Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.
His review on Lost Galaxy was the first time he stepped outside his comfort zone, with it being beyond his own memories and into more neutral grounds. While done full recap, it does take time to point out not only production and arc problems, but continuity to other ideas past. While the voice can sometimes feel a bit draining without clips to break it up from time to time, the overall effect makes the video series fun and informative to watch. His letting the "death" of Kendrix play out particularly was funny and sad for how he showed his shocked reaction and let the atmosphere of the scene speak for itself.
However, the best part of the video series was actually in the recap at the end. Consider it a kind of cliff notes recap of the season, looking at the characters that did or didn't work overall. What really peaked my interest was his discussion on how this series presented us with villains who had more heroic qualities to them. Villains who knew honor, loyalty, care for family and valor.
In the end, this aspect along with an epic looking finale actually inspired me to take up watching Lost Galaxy for myself. While there were certainly filler episodes to slog through, the overall effect was that the review acted as a gateway to a pretty great children's series. Thanks Linkara.
