mad_tea_partyIf I had one wish, Fred. Just one. I would wish to go back in time and agree to sit with you while you were watching your sentai series.
Honestly. I can talk to your little bro, Alex, Shane... it still feels wrong in a way, not sharing any of it with you.
That's a lot of the reason why I opted not to watch MegaForce, you know. Not because I didn't want to form my own opinions like I dd iwth Operation Overdrive and Wild Force, but because I just didn't want to destroy my memories of watching Gokaiger with you, and how excited you and I got taht year at Otakon when they were heavily discussing the series. We had no idea how horrible the second season of MegaForce would be. I knew you liked the first season. We talked about it frequently.
I didn't find out until very recently how you'd abhored Season 2. And as much as I wanted to watch in support of the Megaforce cast that tried to honor the original material as much as they could (they didn't have any say, really, but in their hearts they wanted it to be better than it was.) I just could not bring myself to do it, and I know you understand that.
I've been enjoying TImeranger and Magiranger, and I'm sad to say that I am about 30 eps to the end of Magiranger, and 20 something to the end of Timeranger, already. I have some others I am gonna be watching after, but those two are so important to me. Magiranger because it was the first one I ventured into after Gokaiger. (Thank you, episode 3!) Timeranger I watched specifically because I was curious. I'd heard through the Super Sentai Reddit that it was closeset to any of the Power Ranger adaptations. They weren't wrong. I've already picked up dubbed parts from various episodes. Sion is just as sweet and adorable as Trip, and I am so looking forward to his own version of "Trip Takes a Stand". I'm not sure if it's gonna be as poignant, but only time will tell.
My next sentai after those two are gonna be Dekaranger, and one of the ones I"ve gotten from my download sites. (Either Kingogher or Boonbommger. Probably King-ogher.) I won't be discussing that one with Jon. He told me that it was the last series you two were watching together. I don't wanna make him hurt unnecessarily.
I've also started downloading the most recent sentai. I'm not saying I'll do it all the time, but this one just spoke to me for some reason, same a Boonboomger.
I hope I'm making you smile up there, Fred. As much as it hurts it is also doing something wonderful. It's keeping you alive in my heart. I miss you bestie. Every second, every minute, every hour, every day of every month and every year that's gone by and will go by.
