I know you are angry about the anniversary episode. It wasn't handled with the best decorum, I'll agree.

But it'll work out, you'll see. And you will enjoy seeing Dana, Wes, Tommy, Leo and the others again as much as I did.

And could you find something for me to do? You've had this journal for a while and you know me, I like to be active.

Oh, dude. My mun is the same way. He's upset that it doesn't look like anyone from the 'Disney' seasons except for maybe that Casey guy will be in it.

Still he says he's looking forward to it.

I'm told the Operation Overdrive Rangers were invited and that was about it. Maybe because they were apparently another anniversary year? If that's the case, Cole and his team should have a bigger presence as well.

My mun is too but she's afraid of watching what comes before it. Apparently, the current team is boring?

Anniversary Episode where?! Or do you mean Forever Red...?

[lost_my_watch]

Someone mention me coming out of hiding again?

The Super Megaforce episode currently filming in New Zealand?

A few of us veteran rangers have apparently

Ahhhh. My player had heard rumors from my 'actor' that he was in talks potentially reappearing in my classic Green Dragon form or in some other state for the upcoming anniversary last August. Nothing was set in stone at the time though. Sounds like there's almost as much issue as when I brought you and the other Red Rangers together, due to Rocky and the Red Alien Ranger's... odd appearances for that mission.

[fireenginered]

You mean why Rocky wasn't there? I always wondered about that but didn't want to ask. It was an honor to have Jason.

And at least for that 'episode' it wasn't a matter of people not being invited. Or being invited and then un-invited, as I'm told is what happened to Ryan's actor. My mun is particularly mad about that one.

[lost_my_watch]

Yeah, there were... issues at the time, part of them having to do with why he left the team in the first place. Best not to go much into it. It was good to see Jason though, I was worried he wouldn't answer my call after my... accusations about him and Kimberly after the last time I'd seen him.

(OOC: As far as Ryan is concerned, 20:1 it's partially because the Titanium Ranger was a US creation and it would be too difficult to 'create' an episode to be filler to the Japanese footage for the Lightspeed source eps to include him)

[fireenginered]

You make it seem like the original rangers had many issues among them. I thought you were all friends?

(Oh I know. But then they shouldn't have invited Rhett in the first place then, rather then wait for him to show interest then say 'we don't want you'. And in my opinion, if Saban's ego is making him be shit to the Disney Rangers, you would think he'd want the only Ranger he created. Either way, the whole thing has been handled very poorly.)

[lost_my_watch]

We were friends, all of us. But there were other circumstances in Rocky's life that caused him to have to pull away from the Ranger life. We were sad that it came to that, but it was way outside of our control. Any word of some of my generation coming back other than me?

(Agreed. I doubt it's Saban's ego, it's mainly the feeling of some of the old guard like myself that Power Rangers cratered under Disney's leadership and thus it be less likely that we would want to be reminded of their mistakes. It was a difficult 10 years under them (Lost Galaxy was tolerable but not a big fan, Lightspeed Rescue I enjoyed what I saw but never got into it, Time Force was a cute concept but ramped the camp... but that might also be the time I really got too old to enjoy the camp like in the original, never watched Wild Force or Mystic Force as by then I was starting to watch the Super Sentai versions, SPD I heard wasn't bad, DinoThunder I only watched for Tommy, Operation Overdrive was forgettable, and RPM was considered the worst series even over Turbo.) It also doesn't help that Disney treated their Ranger casts as I understand it worse than Saban did between the move to New Zealand and the drop of script quality. As I understand that's why Rocky refused to return for Disney for Forever Red, was the way he was treated before he left under Saban's reign, same with Aurico.)

What bugs me is the idea of my team being a... 'power up'.

[fireenginered]

I can't say I blame you there. It seems very forced.
