Comments

This episode set the tone for what seems to be a very good team up. I felt like I was wacthing an episode of Ninja Storm for a second there. And I mean that in a good way. This team up really seems similar to how "Rienforcements to the Future" was set up. The thing that seems to make this one of the better team ups so far is the fact that they are treating the former team as equals to the DT rangers and reintroducing them,to our world. This wasn't the case in the Lost Galaxy/Lightspeed team up, which hurt it. I love how we get to see just how far the NS rangers have matured. Some people think Shane was wrong to tell his students to question their motivation since he was the same way. I think those people are missing the point. The line is supposed to show how far the Wind Rangers have come. Besides all teachers say stuff like that no matter how much of a goof off they were in school. It is their job to give constructive critism. I love how "Legacy of Power" really set up the back story for this team up, it gives the DT rangers a reason to know the NS Rangers and their story ( even if vagually). Even though Lothor can be a goofy he sure can be bad ass when he wants to be. The action was pretty good in the episode, it was nice seeing the Ninja powers again. Its funny seeing Abaranger generals with Lothor when they already appeared in "Lost in Translation". But that type of thing happens in PR a lot. Remember Dark Spector mysteriously looking like Maligore? There really isn't too much to complain about this episode. I wonder if Marah and Karpi are really trying to trick Lothor. I wouldn't be surprised to see them steal the Thunder Morphers and Green Samuria Amulet ( to give to the Rangers). This epsiode was a treat and I think we are in for even more of a treat next week.
