And Power Rangers 2005 is... (Space Patrol Delta)

[Chad Bonin]

... what? I dunno, hence the thread. What are your final bets for the title of the series? It'll be confirmed tomorrow, probably with plot (like DT last year).

Last known, it was Power Rangers SPD (as seen on casting sheets). Think it'll stay? What do you think the SPD will stand for?

[TheEvilClown]

I think SPD is something to do with Cops or something I don't really know!

[Chad Bonin]

I think it meant "Special Police Dekaranger" in Japan; I would guess it means "Special Police Detectives" in America.

[Duke]

Perhaps they'll name it Power Rangers SVU?

I wonder if this means we'll see a Lightspeed Rescue and/or a Time Force crossover.

[Chad Bonin]

Logic would dictate that, with multiple government/corporate Ranger organizations currently in existence (Operation Lightspeed and the Silver Guardians), they'd be nice and give SOME connection (SPD being a new branch of Operation Lightspeed, or based off Silver Guardian's Time Force technology, or the operations are run by a Lieutenant Stone or "Uncle Jason").

The cast sheets did say Red (can't remember his name) was the "son of the original Red Ranger". Now, Jason's too young, so they probably mean "son of the original SPD Red Ranger"... but... maybe that's just a cover up, like the Dr. Edward Payne who "reignites his past as the Black DinoThunder Power Ranger". I could see Jason being "Uncle Jason" and becoming SPD Master Ranger...

[Duke]

How is Jason too young? He was, what, 17 when the show started. Shouldn't he be in his late 20's, early 30's by now? (He'd be whatever Tommy's age is or around there.)

Here's an interesting question. If the leader is Jason's son: Who's the mother?

[Chad Bonin]

Jason was, presumably, 15 when the series started (Yes, he was a Freshman). Thus, he'd be about 26 right now.

How the hell would a 26 year old have a son old enough to be a Ranger (Ignore Justin)?

Though... who would be the mother? Well, not Kim. She married Skull. And not Katherine; she and Tommy are supposed to get married. Not Trini; she died.

[Duke]

Maybe the son is adopted, or the series takes place in the future.

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Kim married Skull? Where'd that come from? My head hurts... I always liked the Kim Tommy relationship... too bad it's over. (except for that hot affair they have every 3 months)

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Maybe the son is adopted, or the series takes place in the future.
Well that wouldn't be out of the question when it comes to Power Rangers (the takes place in the future bit).

[Duke]

I'm going to take an extremely wild stab and say the mother is Tanya. I can't offer an explanation, but that's my guess.

EDIT: Wouldn't it be great if Detectives was in the title, and one of the characters was named Conan? XD

[Andrew T. Hingson]

Interesting guess... or maybe that one girl he liked (who wasn't a ranger) in Zeo. But I think he broke up with her.

[Duke]

I don't think the title will be "Special Police Detectives." Mainly because "Police Detectives" just seems too redundant.

[Deadly Messiah]

How about Lt. Stone being in charge?

Anyway, I think Zedd should come back in his human form and become the DekaMaster because that would be irony and cool.

From Rangerboard.com (http://www.rangerboard.com/showthread.php?t=39675), S.P.D. stands for Space Patrol Delta.


Fifteen years into the future, Earth has welcomed alien beings to live with
humans. But peace is short lived, as a planet conquering alien force turns its
destructive attention to Earth! Evil and smart, they seem unstoppable. Only the
Power Rangers - elite warriors trained at a newly established Ranger Academy
and led by chief Anubis - can stop them. When the Red Power Ranger joins the
team, tensions threaten to tear them apart. With the alien threat growing
stronger every moment, the Rangers must forget their differences and go into
action as one! Using teamwork, intergalactic weaponry and light-speed Zord
vehicles to battle evil, they unite to become the ultimate force for good.
Power Rangers SPD!

[Chad Bonin]

Power Rangers: Space Patrol Delta

Well, if it's in 2019/2020... that does mean Jason COULD be "the original Red Ranger". But dammit, that means they're using Doggie Krueger... but hey, Disney owns the Muppets... so they MIGHT make it tolerable.

"Light-speed Zords"... please let this be a references to the Lightspeed Rescuezords that the Dekarobos resemble.

Unless they cover time travel, any crossover (both the retroactive with DinoThunder and the future with PR2006) will be freakin' hard to pull off.

[Jcfan1984]

Hey I am new here. The message board is cool. So anyway, about PR 2005, it has been revealed!

I got this from RangerBoard

SPD stands for Space Patrol Delta..

[MJC]

They already had the Space Rangers...sounds like somebody's running out of ideas...

[Lord Dalek]

I smell dung in this "Press Release".

[Chad Bonin]

I smell... the fact that this is already covered in the "Power Rangers 2005" thread.

[Chad Bonin]

Closing... the thread that came first?

I'm not a specific mod of this forum either, hence why I didn't just merge the threads or close the latter one.

[Jcfan1984]

Oh, I am sorry. I didn't see the other thread. I apologize. Again, I am sorry.:(

[Duke]

How come the other thread was closed instead of merged? The other one has all the theories & stuff...

I can definately see a Time Force crossover, but does this mean even more bad CG than in DinoThunder?

The fact that the Red Ranger is very angsty should be fun in PR.

[shoujoaifan]

I've seen next to nothing of the japanese version and most of you probably know this but I read that when the vehicles combine they don't use CGI but the ol' school puppets or whatever they were.

I haven't seen those in awhile, not that I'm complaining :D

Might as merge the threads, that way we have more information in one easier to find spot and aren't we supposed to look for old threads of the same topic before making a new one? This is bascially the same. But I'm not a mod wih a ton of stuff to do so I'm assuming there's more pressing matters at hand like what to do about posters who cause a ruckus, etc.

[Tommy Lawson]

Okay, suggestions taken. Threads merged.

YAY! I'm happy now!

[NinjaJack]

From the looks of if, and knowning there will at least be seven Rangers next year, they`re branching off the teams like the green lanterns classify their earth and other wordly Lanterns. I`ll bet you the newer rangers are going to come from Space Patrol Gamma or something i they don`t come from earth.
Fifteen years is long enough for Jason to have a wife and a few kids since 1993, I hope they get ASJ for a cemeo.
I like how ambitous this sounds, it sounds bigger than PRLG. I hope they break the budget on this one.

My only problem right now is that Ray is only giving paying VIP members at Ranger board any pictures he`s gather:sad:

[Tommy Lawson]

I like how ambitous this sounds, it sounds bigger than PRLG. I hope they break the budget on this one.Not a chance. Disney didn't move PR to New Zealand to spend money, they went there to save money, and one of Fox Kids Europe's reports stated they saved around 25% on costs per episode doing so. They'll be the traditional PR-only items (cycles, more cycles, and even more cycles), but knowing the budget in past seasons couldn't allow for a NS/DT team-up, I doubt they're giving the new executive producer a whole lot more money than what Doug Sloan and Ann Austen had to use.

[InfinityBlade]

Well, the name Anubis is certainly better than "Doggy" at least. oO

[loyalheart]

maybe the producers/production people will do something different with his look than fans are assuming. guess we'll see in another 6 months

[Burgundy Ranger]

Wha, wha, WHAT? Are you telling me something I didn't know or was it just a slip of the keyboard and you meant to type WF/NS teamup?

[Storm Eagle]

Perhaps they'll name it Power Rangers SVU?

I wonder if this means we'll see a Lightspeed Rescue and/or a Time Force crossover.
You better be just kidding.



The cast sheets did say Red (can't remember his name) was the "son of the original Red Ranger". Now, Jason's too young, so they probably mean "son of the original SPD Red Ranger"..
Sounds about right. I mean neither of the rangers have the last name of "Lee", or even "Scott".

I think this is what you were referring to:

SCHUYLER “SKY” BLAKE - 20 - Male, he is passionate and has lived his entire life to fulfill his father’s dream to become a Ranger.

I'm thinking it could either mean that his father was a ranger for S.P.D. (NOBODY WE KNOW, mind you), or it could have meant that Sky's father was hoping he'd be a ranger (although never was a ranger himself), and Sky wants to satisfy his father's wishes.

[Jcfan1984]

I hope that the next series is going to be good series, but there is one thing that I don't like... 15 years thing... I don't like that idea. I prefer for current year better than 15 years.

[Duke]

You better be just kidding.
About the SVU (Which I blatently stole from Law & Order), or the crossovers? Well, both Time Force and Lightspeed Rescue are sort-of police Rangers, like the SPD is. Though, Time Force would be a lot more doable than LSR.

Keep in mind that I have no idea about any Rangers that left the show on bad terms aside from David Yost and whoever did Leo in Lost Galaxy.

It's still pointless to expect to see either ranger group you mentioned to make an appearance in PRSPD anyway. That's like saying you should expect someone like Ninjor to appear in PRNS.

[Chad Bonin]

Meh, in the back of my mind, I really wouldn't be surprised if Jason, Kim, or Kat showed up on DinoThunder.

And yes, the SPD Zords do combine via miniatures, not CG.

Well, yes, they use CG, but it's actual, physical vehicles moving for the most part.

[Duke]

I don't see why I can't speculate that there will be a Time Force/Lightspeed Rescue cross-over. I mean, after In Space, it seems like every other PR series has a crossover at some point, so it's not entirely out of the question. I'm not saying it will be definate or that there's a 90% chance or anything, I'm just saying there's a good possibility and an excellent opportunity.

Please tell me the police cars are like their modes of transport and not their actual Zords...

Off-topic, but I was giddy when I saw the Gigator pic.

[Tommy Lawson]

Wha, wha, WHAT? Are you telling me something I didn't know or was it just a slip of the keyboard and you meant to type WF/NS teamup?
Yeah, sorry about that, it was a mistake on my part.

[Wounded_Dragon]

On time being a problem for the crossover: they could just say "in the near future" instead of giving an exact number.

[Kyl416]

On time being a problem for the crossover: they could just say "in the near future" instead of giving an exact number.Or they could use time travel.

[Vyse]

Can someone please remind me why I'm a PR fan? Here's my gripes:

-The whole 15 year time gap proposed for SPD. This will be the worst thing to happen to continuity and PR fans studying continuity since the "when did Lost Galaxy take place?" fiasco. It's better if they just made SPD take place in the year 2005.
-Doggie Krueger goes American. I can imagine Knux ramming his head through a wall after he read about this. Hopefully, SPD will utilize Muppet/Imagineering technology to fix the Sentai footage.
-Disney's budgeting. If by setting SPD 15 years into the future gets Disney to save money and avoid a DT/SPD crossover, then I spit on Eisner.

Luckily, this is just a marketing show, so all the major and minor plot elements are subject to change. Hey, Doggie Krueger might not even make it to 2005, like Zordon Berry Pop Tarts at last year's shindig.

EDIT: Oh yeah, here's the logo for SPD...

This might be a really stupid question, but who's Doggie Krueger?

Hell, if this keeps it from having ANY crossover, we should spit.

Eh, it's OK I guess. I kinda wish they'd at least use different angles and coloring for the "Power Rangers" part.

[Knightmare]

Wait are there's one thing that I'm a little confused about, Are they saying that Jason or one of the other previous Red Rangers is going to return?

[Ryoutarou]

There was a rumor but knowing disney it's not likely to happen. man so this is what dekaranger has become...god no....

Most of those crossovers that have been happening are between the current team, and the team coming JUST BEFORE the current team. Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force will be several years apart from S.P.D., and I don't care if "Forever Red" from Wild Force featured rangers from all the seasons before it. Then don't forget that PR has been filmed in New Zealand since 2003, and that was when Ninja Storm showed. If anybody actually thinks BVS will spend a truckload of money to bring five to twelve actors from the US to New Zealand for a teamup, then I don't know what else to say.

[Deadly Messiah]

This might be a really stupid question, but who's Doggie Krueger?Doggie Krueger is the head of the SPD in DekaRanger. He is a blue dog from Planet Anubis.

http://japanhero.com/sentai%20image%20pages/deka-181.htm

[NinjaJack]

So much worry, so much uncertainty.

Be not afriad, this show at least will have some fine writing talent with the man behind the Sentinel and Alien Nation helming it.
I`m looking forward to Doggie Kruger too! Loved Ninjor and I loved Blue Sentorion, and even if Auric sucked, I so welcome the next member of the Big Blues.

I swear, he looks like a StarFox reject.

And those uniforms look cheesy as hell. Then again, pretty much ALL PR illustrations look cheesy as hell, so it's to be expected.

lol

Wait until you see the pics of him as DekaMaster because DM is cool. Also, there is going to be a 7th ranger named DekaBrake, and it is rumored (with a 99% chance it is false info) there will be 10 rangers total.

[Jcfan1984]

Also there is rumor about the 8th Dekaranger and it is going to be female. It is called "DekaBee"

http://www.japanhero.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4529 posted this:

Rumors point to either DekaRed's power up, or Swan as a ranger being in the Dekaranger movie.

Just in: The new ranger in the movie (whether it is red's powerup, or Swan as a ranger) will recieve their power from an ancient warrior (Ranger 7). This probably points at DekaRed's power up. Of course, there's no reason for both not to show up. This ancient warrior will have a "bee" motif. Which sounds weird, but think of it this way, a Gouraiger/Dekaranger. Could be very cool. My guess is that it is indeed Swan's suit. A bee-modeled suit would be yellow and black I would guess, and that would look sick against DekaRed's suit.Thanks to Dukemon22 from Japan Access.

[JohnCrichton]

This is definatel a season I'll be looking forward to. I love the space series in Power Rangers and the footage I've seen of Dekaranger kicks no end of ass. You're going to flip once you see the first Zord battle.

As for a question before, about whether or not police cars will be just modes of transport or Zords... well, in Dekaranger their two seperate things, and I think they'll do the same for Power Rangers SPD, which I'm betting will stand for Space Police Division.

Should be quite the hoot.

Disney don't seem too keen on crossovers and it being 15 years in the future definately counts that out.

If this Red is the son of Jason, then I think there's almost a 100% chance we'll be seeing him show up... maybe with a little added make up, but I think we'll get to see him don his Mighty Morphin Gear one more time and that'll probably be the crossover we get for that series.

Are we getting Ninja Storm crossover for DT?

Anyone know who the head writer of this series will be?

[Duke]

Yea, it was explained to me. I thought we were going to have Turbo II here, but we're not. I'm happy.

Actually it stands for Space Patrol Delta...like in the Thread title...

OH god, please don't remind me about Dukemon. From all the stuff I read from him, I think only 5% of it was true, if that.

[JohnCrichton]

Don't believe what you read, if you're reading it from TVNihon who's a personal grudge against Japan Hero.

Dukemon's got a 98% batting average over at Japan Hero, so do indeed believe what he says.

He's been right about Dekaranger before it landed, the coming of DekaBreak and a bunch of Kamen Rider stuff before anyone else knew about it.

He was also right about DekaMaster, so don't go knockin' my Japan Hero homie, yo.

He ain't been wrong yet.

[Jcfan1984]

OH god, please don't remind me about Dukemon. From all the stuff I read from him, I think only 5% of it was true, if that.Well, fine. I am sorry then!

I was just letting people know about what's up for DekaRanger. I love Japan Hero because I am a huge fan of Super Sentai, Ultraman, Kamen Rider and others. You know, I don't like rumor. I hate that.

I agree with JohnCrichton. Don't go to Japan Hero. Don't make yourself believe what Dukemon said about rumor things. Dukemon was right about DekaMaster and others.

[Deadly Messiah]

TV Nihon sucks so much ass it isn't even funny. They are a big bunch of losers who think they are gods because they can subs things. Even though it takes them about 400000 yrs to get a full series out after it has completed airing. Then you have the other ops wagging their tails infront of their master Brian "I think I am God KingRanger" Mitchell. Oh I'm sorry, it is DekaMaster now. He changes his names more than Optimus Prime changes bodies, and I didn't think that was possible. Maybe if they worked on their ethics, they woudln't be so retarted.

As for Dukemon, I think I probably read the wrong things from him then. I mean he said this years KR series was going to be a sequel to 555, which was obviously wrong. I do admit, he was right about DekaRanger (except he first said DekaMaster would be coming in episode 15 when it was 13).

[JohnCrichton]

You need to visit our forums more often where he reports his Insider news. I'm not sure about a 555 sequel, but he was waaaay ahead of everyone else when he called the new series Kamen Rider CARDS, which he then found was turned to Blade.

Not sure what you might've heard, but Nihonians are known to slam him alot cuz they hate us over at Japan Hero.

If you're a Sentai fan, that's definately a place you wanna stop by where people don't suck.

I'm not a fan of the Nihonians, but I am a fan of the products they release. As long as I can get it through their BT, I'm fine.
