I do these things to myself, really.
So I finished my Rare Pair Fest story on time, and finally gave up on trying to edit/add to it yesterday. I worked on some story info files, and eventually decided to start watching MMPR Season 3! Only twelve more seasons to go!
I made it through all three parts of A Friend in Need. There is seriously more than a page of notes for it; most of my episode notes are like, barely a quarter of a page. c.c;;; I have many thoughts/questions. Mostly I was entertained by things such as Kimberly being adorable and awesome, Tommy and Adam failing at diplomacy, Dex glaring at/subtly threatening everyone, his Woeful Eyes of Woe, and his crush on Aisha. (He glares or gives Woeful Eyes of Woe to everyone else. She asks one question and gets this big, beaming smile.)
On the whole, it's a terrible group of episodes. But Dex's clear ISSUES made me think of Andros and his emo pouts, and I started thinking they'd be adorkable friends. And Kimberly obviously became a diplomat in Bright Skies because the rest of her team FAILS at it. And then I wondered how this episode might have gone if she was there.
I'm sure you can all see where this is going ...
Turns out, Masked Rider isn't on Netflix. (arytra and I raged about this for awhile, considering all the things that are.) It *is*, however, on YouTube. Kinda. There's one person whose been posting vids, but YouTube keeps taking them down again. Bastards. But for now, it's a start.
I mean, when you ignore the horrible acting and the bad fight scenes and the awful DumbFemaleBulk and HopelessNerdSkull, and just about anything involving Ferbus, obviously. But it turns out when the Rangers aren't around, Dex is a very emotional, sweet, adorkable guy. And he has the CUTEST family! (He lands in the backyard and makes a giant crater. His future mom's response is: 'My petunias! You're standing in my petunias!' Then he tells them he's he's from another planet, and they're like 'Uh huh. Brain injury. Let's get him inside.' He says he's an orphan, and future little brother is all 'COOL! Mom and Dad can adopt you too! Let's keep him!') There's so much family fluff and hugging and just ... Oh, and episode three has a FABULOUS fight scene for anyone who has the mind of a twelve-year-old. And there's a talking car and motorcycle.
It's adorable. It really is. If you ignore the other stuff and focus on Dex being innocent and sweet and his family being amazing, it's very cute. ♥
Clearly I require more research of this show.
