Not much to report this week. As for site news, I know summaries are missing for a few of the newer episodes. That "hopefully" will be worked on this week; I've just begun to work so I'll try and make some time this week to update the site.

I apologize for incorrectly putting "May 19th" instead of "June 19th" in the listings update yesterday.
There will be no new episodes of Dino Thunder until July 10th. The reason for that is a Spiderman marathon. Personally, I liked the Spiderman series but don't they know Fox Kids ran the show to death during the 90's?
Also, TOON DISNEY has added an extra slot at 7 PM on the weekends for Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
Thanks to The Muellers for the following news
The White Drago Morpher will be released with the Fall 2004 products. We start shipping the new items in summer but can't give an exact date on when they will be on store shelves.

[cover story] Power Rangers Space Patrol Delta
Over a month after the 2005 Power Rangers S.P.D. series title surfaced, the acronyms for S.P.D. was released at the licensing show in New York City this past weekend, called "Space Patrol Delta". The logo has the initials, "S.P.D", and has a mix between a siren and the stars in the Power Rangers In Space logo. Ray Calderon from Power Rangers Central has images of the logo and some toys, located here.
Some important notes of the story presented at the show are that there will be for the first time ever, "7" Rangers. The story itself takes place 15 years into the future and aliens are among the humans, coexisting. Evidently, the peace is short lived and the aliens turn to destroying the Earth. Power Rangers trained at a Ranger Academy led by Chief Anubis are the only force that can stop the aliens. The Red Ranger apparently does not get along with the other team members.
It's an interesting concept to finally intergrate aliens and humans, and could possibly unite past Power Ranger seasons (albeit unofficially). It also may be interesting to see if the Rangers' personalities conflict for more than the beginning of the series. Casting has already begun and production is scheduled to begin in the fall.

Ninja Storm ceases its daily run on ABC FAMILY starting on Monday, TOON DISNEY will still air Ninja Storm.
ABC FAMILY is Jetix-free until July, so if you're recording episodes, now is the time to grab the episodes without the Jetix card game.
Thanks to the Muellers for the following
Jack Guzman said he will be on the soap "Days Of Our Lives" June 10th & June 14th.
The Abaranger episode from today's episode was the 10th episode.
Here is information for Volumes 2 & 3 of Power Rangers Dino Thunder on DVD, from tvshowsondvd.com.
ABC FAMILY on Friday showed Zenon 3 with Glenn McMillian (Dustin in Ninja Storm). He retained his natural accent (British) and didn't say his catchphrase from Ninja Storm, "dude".
Will Maberry reports that Erin Cahill (Jen in Time Force) will bea guest on an NBC special called "Totally Hidden Extreme Magic". It airs on Wednesday, June 23 at 8 PM EST. Apparently street magicians will perform illusions on unsuspecting victims, and all will be caught on hidden camera.
Here's a comparison of the differences in "Lost & Found In Translation" to the 10th Abaranger episode from Sodders.
EPISODE 15: "LEADER OF THE WHACK" REVIEW
Posted by TimJohnson on
June 12, 2004 @ 5:07 AM
Over three weeks late, I realize that, and the summary is up too by the way.
Really not much to say on the episode. The concept of Rangers switching personalities has been done before, and done much better than on today's episode, such as Ninja Storm's, "Sensei Switcheroo", or the MMPR episode where Billy and Kim switched personalities. It was just an ok episode, but not a home run, and that was expected.
ON TARGET
Devin and Cassidy continue to be fun characters to watch. Their reactions to things just bring a smile to my face whenever I watch them get into certain situations.
A new idea is always fun to watch. We've seen Rangers not able to morph, but we've never had Rangers they could not demorph, as with Dr. Oliver at the end of the episode.
OFF TARGET
Elsa and Zeltrax have just become jokes. That's all I have to say on that.
For as tough as Mesogog is, the monsters are also poor and pose ZERO threat.
The point of the episode really was nothing until the end. The first human confrontation between the Rangers and Trent was a wreck. It could have been much more meaningful, and we didn't get any reactions from the Rangers except by the one line by Kira when Trent helped catch Rojobot with his Megazord.
STUFF TO THINK ABOUT
When Zeltrax said that Rojobot was the most aggressive monster they've ever had, did you just know that Rojobot was NOT going to be aggressive at all?
Don't you just know when Ethan announces that he's on the last level or about to go for a high score, that someone's going to mess it up?
How did Kira get dirt in her nails when she was wearing gloves while she was morphed?
Don't evil villains always give their henchmen, "Second chances"?
Who was working Hayley's Cyberspace when Devin and Cassidy just barged in there?
Isn't Ethan's superpower, "super-strength"? Then why was he so surprised when he was becoming a weight-lifter?
Do the Rangers ever normally devise strategies when fighting monsters?
Why do we never get to hear about Kira when they talk about each of the three Rangers?
Matt Spencer raises a good point:
have you realized the rangers haven't used their raptor riders since the third episode?
So who is going to be Dr. Oliver's substitute teacher while he's, morphed?
Do you wonder how or if he has been able to "hold it in" during all that time he has been stuck inside the amber?

[cover story]
In an interesting twist to Power Rangers, the second new episode of Dino Thunder this weekend will feature the Rangers discovering the Japanese version of themselves, as advertised in an ABC FAMILY promo. The Japanese version of the Dino Thunder Rangers will presumably be from the Sentai series from 2003-2004, Bakyruu Sentai Abaranger. Funny, the title fits the plot.
On an episode, this is the first time ever that the Power Rangers has ever acknoledged the fact that there are Rangers in Japan. It is not however the first time that it has been acknoledged in Power Rangers. On May 22, 1999, Walter Jones and Austin St. John hosted the "Power Rangers Lost Episode" special immediately after the Lost Galaxy season finale. Jones stated that, "The look and feel of the original Power Ranger Superheroes started in Japan on a popular program called 'GO RANGERS'". It's really GORANGER, but he got the gidst of it. Austin St. John came in after that line and said, "Like the Power Rangers, Go Rangers evolved and eventually became 'ZyuRangers'". It did evolve, but not in that kind of way. There was a 17 year gap between the two Japanese shows (GoRanger debuted in 1975, ZyuRanger in 1992 in Japan), but each year in Sentai, there is always a fresh storyline, characters, zords, etc. (something that is currently being done in the production of Power Rangers)
It's a pretty interesting move on the writing staff, but at least it's a fresh idea. As to how it will make sense in the end is anyone's guess. It can be the greatest thing ever in Power Rangers or could hang in the "wall of shame" like when the Ninja Turtles appeared in Power Rangers In Space. I'm sure the producers of Power Rangers weren't trying to keep it a secret all these years that it was an idea based from Japan, but I'm not so sure they were going to be upfront about it like they're going to this Sunday.
There's probably going to be a storyline to it; the Rangers snooping on Dr. Oliver's computer has already been done in "Legacy of Power". I don't think we'll see two teams of Rangers, and I'm leaning towards the fact that the actors from Abaranger won't be "live" in the actual episode (meaning they're in the same location with the Rangers). On the promo, we saw on the six screens in Dr. Oliver's basement of the three Japanese heroes on the top row and the helmet shots of their corresponding Ranger color on the bottom three rows. The promo didn't hint as to how the Japanese counterparts would play a part, but at least footage of them will be in the episode. In case you're wondering of their names ahead of time, Askua is the Black Ranger, Ryouga is the Red Ranger, Yukito is the Blue Ranger, and Ranru is the Yellow Ranger. I don't know about the White Ranger, but his name is Mikoto. I say that because Trent is not with the Dino Rangers.

DVDTALK.com reviewed the "Day of the Dino" DVD and gave it a pretty fair and accurate review.
Emma Lahana (the actress on Dino Thunder who plays Kira Ford) has up on her website mp3's of two songs sung by her, "Freak You Out" (heard in the first and third episodes of Dino Thunder) and a new one called "Patiently" on her website. You can access it here.
Thanks to Sexybeast871 for the following:
I just thought you should know that Glenn McMillan ( Dustin on PRNS) will be on Zenon Z3 on June 11 on Disney Channel.
