[cover story] The "real" reason Tommy is stuck in the suit (Author: The Muellers)
Tommy left because since he runs a martial arts school in the states, he needs to come back for a given period of time every 2 months or so. So there are like 15 episodes with "stuck in the suit" Tommy. and the whole time it's either Aki or Mokoto (the two tallest guys in Alpha).
Coming up soon is an episode where Tommy fights all of his old selves, meaning Green Ranger, White Ranger and Zeo Red, Aki plays all of them.
A couple episodes ago when Tommy was fighting Zeltrax and a bunch of Triptoids between two cars and they did all this crazy wire schnit, that was Aki as well... and the shot where he throws up the Brachio Staff and it spins around in midair while he sweeps then he catches it, it took 19 takes. the brachio staff was attached to a fishing pole and they spun it around like that.
In-House notes
I'll be on vacation starting tommorow so my email responses will be limited. I'll be gone for about a week (to Hawaii!). Here are the listings for the next two weeks.

News from The Muellers:
I am now finding out that the Adult Power Ranger Dino Thunder costume for the Red and Black Ranger will be sent out sometime this month. Now they have also put it on sale for $99.99, it was originally $109.00.
Emma Lahana was on the tv movie You Wish! Tuesday August 3rd on the Disney Channel.
The next is spoilers, highlight past this text to read on. Look for a team up later this year, say around episode 31 and 32, and look for the same amount of episode as there was in Ninja Storm.

[cover story] What was the best battle
On Jetix's website, you can vote on what was the "best" battle in Power Rangers. The four choices are "Countdown to Destruction" from Power Rangers In Space, "Clash For Control" from Power Rangers Time Force, "End Of The Power Rangers" from Power Rangers Wild Force, and "Storm Before The Calm" from Power Rangers Ninja Storm. There's no thought about it as to which to select when voting (here by the way, you can watch these clips as well). One was just basically a debut (Time Force), and another was barely a battle as Wild Force featured one of the worst endings in Power Rangers finales, as the Wild Force Rangers used the powers of their Crystal Sabres along with their Wild Zords to defeat Master Org. Another was just a pretty intense battle, but without any real emotion to it. "Countdown To Destruction" goes down AS the best battle here, simply because it had everything; Andros fighting his sister, the Rangers defending the last unconquered civilization, heroes all over the galaxy being captured...There is no doubt that in this poll, you should vote for "Countdown to Destruction". As of right now, the voters clearly have it right. "Countdown to Destruction" has 93% of the votes (as of 1:20 AM on 8/2). Disgustingly, "End of the Power Rangers" has 5%, and "Clash For Control" and "Storm Before The Calm" have 1% each.

Site news: I have the summaries pretty much done; just need to get to the reviews, which means going back and watching all the older episodes to have some sort of idea on what I'm talking about! Look throughout the week for 'em, as well as updates to the Dino Thunder section.
Here's a "fair" review of the 1st Dino Thunder DVD on DVD Verdict (it's not really a fair review). Check it out here.
Thanks to The Muellers for the following new items:
Emma Lahana on tv movie You Wish!, Tuesday August 3rd from 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. eastern time on the Disney Channel.
Someone emailed me recently and told me they found a Drago Morpher at Walmart, I though that wasn't suppose to be out until September.
