Fading Lights

( Power Rangers Megaforce ... 7? I think? )

Another unrealistic version of anti-bullying Show. Dealing with bullies DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. Just ... URGH. >.<

On the other hand, it was nice to see supposedly injured Rangers, and Noah was pretty damn kickass when he fought with Troy. I also like Troy's habit of ignoring obnoxious people. He's oddly mellow for a Red, but I like that about him.

Not a fantastic episode, but not a bad one.

( Thoughts )

I suspected I would love Troy given the chance, and I do. I was also shocked by how competent everyone was in this episode! If this continues to happen, I will finally be won over. ♥

On another note, Brother's cockatiel likes Power Rangers. He keeps watching from behind me, making little chirpy noises - especially during explosions. And he shrieks anytime I pause to make notes. -Amused-

So. ( Megaforce Episode 2. )

As for everything else ... the morphers remain ugly. Gosei is obnoxious. I actually enjoyed the Zord fight except for the talking. I have no feelings about the villains except that they need better mouth movement.

I'm at the Not Hating Everything point, but I still don't really like it. Which actually makes me sad, because I *want* to ... There are many things about this season that I should adore! (Earth/Fire/Water powers, cool Zords, a Psychic Red ... ) But there's also a lot that makes me irriated or twitchy - or both. So far the irritation is winning. >.<

But while Megaforce is disappointing me, my AntonioMuse has continued to demand my attention. And Jayden snuggles.

Promises (Power Rangers Samurai, Chapter 7: A Promise to Wait)
Author/: Tsukino Akume
Fandom/: Power Rangers Samurai
Characters/: Jayden Shiba, Antonio Garcia
Pairings/: developing Antonio/Jayden
Rating/: K
Disclaimer/: If I owned them, it would not be subtext.
Summary/: Antonio made many promises to Jayden over the years. He never broke any of them. Bright Skies 'verse.
For once he found Antonio exactly where he'd expected him to be: at the pier, staring out across the water with a distant look in his eyes.

And now I'm off to watch Lauren and contemplate how to make her even more awesome. And eat more brownies, because Brownies and Samurai totally go together. ♥

I finally got to see the third Transformers movie for the first time last night, because Brother stayed home from work with a bad back and we decided to order Dominos and marathon. My thoughts on it are this:

1) Carly is a horrible character. They could have written her out of the movie entirely and used someone else for the situations she was important to, and they would have lost nothing. She's only there to keep Sam in a relationship.

2) I suddenly want Captain Lennox/Sam fic. I never saw them remotely as a pairing (considering Lennox is SO IN LOVE with his wife and baby in the first movie ♥), until I saw the scene where Sam's stuck with his grapple attached to the Decepticon's eye, and Lennox is grabbed onto him for like, two minutes, trying to get him free.

3) I wonder what Power Rangers Turbo would have been like with Autobots. Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser are already sentient; all they need is a robot form.

FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESE, DO NOT LET ME WRITE THIS INTO FTD.

Also, I discovered this Megaforce Cast picture on Twitter today.

My thoughts are:

1) Pink and Yellow look EXACTLY THE SAME. Same nose, same smile, same hairstyle, but with different coloring. For the love of all we hold dear, I hope they do something fun with their personalities at least.

2) OMG THEY CLONED LEO. O.O

3) The more I look at their clothing styles and the school background, the more I am praying that this doesn't turn into some Power Rangers version of The Breakfast Club. >.<++
