Is Eddie’s First Half of RPM Being Sabotaged?

From Fury Diamond on Star Points RangerCrew, one of Fury Diamond’s sources said the following:

Judd Chip Lynn and Koichi Sakamato in particular have been going back and cutting out full drama scenes with actors to replace it with more slow motion explosions, fighting, and lame foot on the gas shots. They have been done…get a clue! People loved the first 3 episodes because they had story / character moments.

Blitz was an amazing episode at start and end, but the middle was over run with crap that Koichi put in because he gets kick backs from toy companies the more the morphed Ranger suits are on screen. Eg. go back to Doctor K ep and watch when Gem and Gemma hand her the birthday pencil. You see maybe 2 colors when she looks at it. What was written was that the pencil is actually 5 colors as she rotates it to see green, yellow, blue, red and black. A beautiful moment cut short so that more cheese could be screened to sell toys.”

However, Keith from Henshin Justice responded with information from one of his sources:

Hey guys… now you KNOW you can trust me and I looked in to this.. not only do I have very good word from a source that this is confirmed as false a little education also places something like this as pretty much impossible to do.

And we know Judd’s work, people… if anything he’s always worked to make sure character stays in the show.

Whatever the case may be, no one can argue that this is one of the most interesting, most talked about Power Ranger series in a long time. All of this talk is bound to produce wild rumors and speculation, so remember to take everything with a grain of salt!

Three-Year-Old Red Ranger Saves Grandmother

A UK three-year-old, Bradley Matthews, saved the life of his grandmother when he was dropped of at her home and found her collapsed on the floor. He tried to wake her, then tried picked her up before answering the phone when it rang and alerted his aunt, Joanne Burdiss, on the other end of the line. The paramedics were called after Joanne rushed over and the grandmother, Ann Burdiss, was taken to a local hospital.

Ann had to this to say, “I really thought it was my last day and I was on the way out. I feel like he’s saved my life and I don’t know what could have happened if he hadn’t come in.

“Everyone in hospital has been calling him a little hero. They said the longer you are out the worse it is for you. He told the staff that he was being Red Power Ranger and was picking me up.”

Brandon Jay McLaren (Jack from Power Rangers SPD) has a role in the direct to DVD sequel to the Doctor Dolittle franchise.  His character is Brandon Turner.  Amazon doesn’t have a synopsis, so I must surmise that someone with a surname of “Doolittle” may or may not talk to animals.
