I´m also a big fan of the great classics Mighty Morphin and Zeo. Like you said, the transition was so smooth that I simply remained hooked. Then I got to watch Power Rangers in Space with my younger brother but there was already something missing; still I enjoyed the story because I had a crush on Astronema. I watched the first episode of Lost Galaxy and really liked it, but back then I didn´t have enough time to commit to each episode so I missed several episodes, then Kendrix wasn´t there, and to this date I don´t know how the series ends. No other version interested me after that.
The Ivan Ooze movie was great too, but when it premiered in Mexico they still hadn´t aired the episodes where Jason, Zack and Trini were replaced, so I actually thought it was a fake movie because Rocky´s face is the first one on screen when they´re on the plane before skydiving. Seing Kimberly almost immediately eased my early frustration, but then I had no idea who was the girl jumping off the plane first (Aisha). Bulk and Skull, well, I always laughed big time with those two and I actually liked the first episode of the Lost Galaxy because they were in it; if I remember correctly Skull sleeps in and misses the flight on Terra Venture.
A bit over a year ago I came across the latest movie where Zordon is a ranger himself and calls for a meteorite-missile whilst his fellow rangers die next to him. It was a shocking start and I really made a big effort to stay awake, but I was so high that I slept through the entire movie. To my good luck I woke up for the final scene and my heart twitched of joy with the cameo of Amy Jo and the late Jason snapping pictures witht their phones. He passed away barely a week later and I felt really sad, as if it´d been one of my close friends who had died. In a way he was, because he was the first hero I ever looked up to as a child -who didn´t want to be Tommy?
Anyway, a few months ago I started watching the mini-movie where an iron-faced Rita kills the yellow ranger and Billy looks older than my dad, but again the weed was so good that I don´t remember anything else.
