Well, a dancer he is not, but he looks so adorable attempting to dance anyway. I liked the Snob gag, it would had been kinda cool if he could have kept it.
I can't have you close, so I become a ghost and I watch you, I watch you.

A good review, overall. I was expecting a reference to Superdickery, though. And a very nice variant of the "I AM A MAN!" joke.
Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.
Bitter Hateful Cynic
History of the Power Rangers continues with a 5 minute rant about Linkara's horribly busy schedule.
I get what he's trying to do, but it doesn't come across as anything other than "I'm awesome, you suck", which makes someone come across incredibly unsympathetic. Those people complaining, ignore them and DON'T bring them up.

YOSH!
More History of the Power Rangers? FRIKKIN FINALLY! WHOOO!
When All Else Fails, you have fun and flirt wit da ladies, dats da Drawings way!
I haven't been one of the ones complaining, but I'm glad to see a review of my personal favorite season finished. Why people were idiotic enough to think he wouldn't include Forever Red I'll never know (he didn't really spend too much time on nitpicking the continuity issues).

I saw bits and pieces of mighty morphin when I was younger, but wild force is what I watched when my brother started to get into it. I remember the main episode that stuck in my head was when Toxica cut off her horn, and the princess got captured.
I felt far more sorry for Toxica, and it wasn't until later I remembered the other power rangers were sad because the princess was captured.
Read my stories!
YOSH!
Well that's understandable, Toxica and Jindrax felt like your usual Jessie&James/Arukennimon&Mummymon duo only more competent and more subdued as far as comedy was concerned. I liked them, and felt equally sorry for Toxica

It's super effective.
He's repeating points established from before his Lost Galaxy review
back in JUNE and yet he still receives these questions, so yeah, I can sympathise.
Ugh. That "stop bugging me for new videos" rant should've been a blog, not part of the main review. Furthermore, he should have thicker skin by now about this stuff. People are bugging him because they like the series; at least it's not a PR disaster like Doug had with Mako and Optimus Prime's death.
It's super effective.
It was. And no-one listened.
I agree. While the rant shouldn't have gone on as long as it did, it needed to be there.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.
Dear God, this one kept me rolling. His jokes keep coming one after another and holy crap on a cracker does he have a great voice. His skill at impressions really shines in this one.
I'm going to go yell out loudly in the first person about how much I loved this episode.

I stand by my opinion. At least when SF Debris needs to rant at the audience, he does it in "introduction" videos and not mainline videos.
Seriously, thicker skin is necessary if you're going to pass yourself off as an Internet celebrity.
It's super effective.
Thicker skin? I thought being thin/thick skinned referred to criticism and bashing, not "asking a question which has already been answered".
Awesome review. Though I'm a little disappointed Dr.Isano show up with SCIENCE!

Dr. Insano is Peter Parker!
I've just realized that without the spider bite, that would be another origin story of Dr.Isano!
I'm glad he's doing origins and things he doesn't necessarily dislike, I've always liked the spin that puts on his reviews, and plus, it's good to see that his jokes are flowing well.
Especially after the review for the Clone saga bit... I dunno, it seemed like he was reaching for jokes to fill the slot. His whole review-long rant about the cyberspace bit seemed especially nitpicky to me.

"The difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense." - Tom Clancy, paraphrasing Mark Twain.
When I say "thicker skin" I mean that online celebrities need to understand that with great fame there comes great fanboyism. And fanboyism can come in many forms, including misguided advice intended to "improve" the reviews and people deluded enough to believe that their sense of self-worth is dependent on the output of their favorite online reviewers.
Artists of all kinds need to learn how to block out the whining of the impossible-to-please and focus on the constructive input from their fanbase.
(In other words, Linkara needs to block the e-mail address of everyone who nags him and get on with his life, not waste time acknowledging their existence. And the truly obsessive need to pay attention to his blog for these sorts of updates.)
I don't blame Linkara for putting the rant in there, it needed to be said, though I'm not sure how well it will work. Besides it wasn't that much of a rant, he didn't even yell during it.
But consider: people are going to be watching these things more than once. And hopefully many times. And if every single time we want to watch him talk about Wild Force we have to hear the "stop pestering me!" rant, it ruins the mood. It really does.

No more than continuity jokes do.

Anyone else think that Lewis looks like the most adorable dork in his Green Ranger costume?
Silent Hill: Dead/Alive alternate endings
. The Snob's vocal cameo was entertaining. I'm still kinda disappointed that there wasn't a Kiba Inu ending, though.
