Power Rangers SPD, whose initials stand for "Space Delta Patrol" actually stand for "Stupid, Pathetic and Dumb" or how negatively they stand for. It may not be the worst Power Rangers sequel, but it is one of the worst ever, just like most of its various predecessors, especially even when Disney took over its franchise from Saban. The setup of the cast of characters and the plots or storylines are so screwed up for most of the PRs sequels that just make no sense at all. In other words, they poured way too many stupid ideas into virtually each episode of each sequel due to ill-preparedness of the crewmembers (i.e., writers, actors, producers, directors, etc.). At least the Japanese versions of the shows, otherwise known as "Sentai" are far better in terms of storylines and setup of cast of characters than the ones adapted by Saban and Disney. I have a feeling that the next sequel, Power Rangers Mystic Force, would also stink the way most of the other ones did due to the lack of serious elaboration by the production crew. I acknowledge that the PRs series will go on and on, but I feel Disney is simply wasting their time, money and energy in making such show that even some people call it a rip-off since they don't know how to manipulate borrowed ideas well enough to make the presentation interesting. Instead of hiring actors whom many are virtual unknowns and don't know how to act, they should start doing voice-overs of the Japanese version of the series each and every year, or cancel the show altogether despite there is still a fan base out there for it although such fan base is not as large as when the PRs series debuted back in the early 90's. Even most Power Rangers fans (including many kids) would prefer to watch the Japanese-made Sentai over PRs adapted by Saban and Disney because Sentai is more of a true original and well-elaborated in many aspects.
Nick's Reply: That is more energy than they devote to making Power Rangers shows. Congratulations!
