And all I got was this stupid lantern. And the thing is green of all colors. At least I have the matching ring :mrgreen:

I'm trying to think of a group of superheroes or villans than number 6, but all the ones I can think of are 5...
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Power rangers, season 1 through 3. There are 6 of them in there, although the 6th comes in later.

I remember the debut of the White Ranger, when I was in kindergarten. I was... so excited. :?

Looking back though, what was up with the black guy being the Black Ranger and the Asian girl being the Yellow Ranger? I mean, come on.

Yeah I guess if there'd been a Native American, he or she would've been the Red Ranger. :lol:

Apparently, stereotyping is a-ok when it comes to kids entertainment. :|

Just a thought that's occurred to me, you can take it or leave it... but do you think there's a stereotype in scifi of a sort of imposing but sympathetic warrior alien played by a black guy? Between Worf, Teal'c and Tyr Anasazi, it seems kind of clichéd. :?

EDIT: Ah, yes, it's the Proud Warrior Race Guy.

And apparently, the actor didn't figure that out until the 'I love the 80's' segment on it.

Reliant, hope Rowan can get the help she needs.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
