And even earlier he wasn’t going to be a ranger but have the Quantum Ranger be more like the sentai counterpart, and have a set of twins play the two “reds” as well.

@Prof.NightJack  
neither of them are even orgs to begin with.

@Prof.NightJack
 
…Eric WAS almost identical to his Sentai counterpart. What do you mean “Have the Quantum Ranger be more like the Sentai counterpart?” He kind of already was, except for the not dying part.

@Jarkes  
Sorry, I mean less.  
Was typing in a hurry.

It was meant to be that both of Jason Faunt’s parts would of been played by twins and that Alex was going to be the Quantum Ranger.  
Actully it’s kind of both more and less like the Quantum Ranger’s counterpart, as the first TimeFire was Captain Ryuya and was Alex’s counterpart.

Up next, wild force.

@Prof.NightJack
 
Also, Alex was just a bit of a jerk, but he still helped the team out on numerous occasions. Captain Ryuuya, on the other hand, turned out to have orchestrated the series’s entire plot, ostensibly so that the “better” of the two futures he saw visions of would occur, but in reality it was just to selfishly prevent his own death because he died in both of those futures. Ironically, after revealing this, he still ended up dying, meaning that the only thing that he changed was how he died.
 
…God, I really hope Timeranger gets fully subbed sooner rather than later so I can actually see that stuff for myself instead of having to rely on summaries.

@Jarkes  
Both TV-Nihon and Overtime have finally started to finish what they started with Timeranger.

@09MurphyM
 
Over-Time will probably finish first though. And even then they’ve still got 20 episodes to go, plus the “Super Sentai Big Gathering” special that was basically a clip show of the whole franchise thus far to hype up Gaoranger. And it tends to take them a while to get through each episode.

Also on the matter of Eric they actually filmed the end of the show with him not there before deciding to keep him alive.

@Jarkes  
Even if TVN finishes first I’ll wait for OT unless it takes a crazy long time. I like my English translations to have English in them, just a personal preference. :p

Incidentally, which version of Ransik Lives did the stream show? There were actually TWO post-9/11 edits for Ransik’s speech: one which just blared the theme song over it to drown it out, and once where it was mostly the same as the original except for changing his line at the end from threatening to level the city to something a bit tamer.

@Phantom Rider
 
Agreed. If there are no other options for sections of certain shows, I can put up with TV-Nihon (I had to do that in order to finish watching Dekaranger and Ryuki, but fortunately those shows were some of their better translations anyway), but I IMMENSELY prefer alternative options.

Oh, GODDAMNIT, most of the chat in the Twitch stream keeps calling Cole a “murderer” because of what happened with his actor.

I love how they didn’t even bother to change the morph sequence but simply put the American actors in place of their Japanese counterparts.

@09MurphyM
 
I think they actually did reshoot it instead of just pasting them into the original, but it is still the only one to ever be COMPLETELY the same.

Speaking of which, I never noticed this until now:
 

 
You can see a little bit of the “MEGA YELLOW READY” underneath “MORPHING COMPLETE”. No idea if this happened with the other ones as well.

My only problem with Overtime is their tendency to default to the use of a character’s name anytime somthing like “onii-chan” or “onee-chan” is used, because there have been few times it was used when the one saying actully doesn’t know the name of the character they are talking too.  
And even cases when they can put in other things for it but don’t.
 
Like if there was a time when Kanon called Makoto by name and then later by “onii-chan” then OVertime put his name for both cases, and he is her older bother so they can use somthing like “big bro” or anything other then his name.

@Jarkes  
You ever ready the text to the left?  
It’s kind of wired.

@Prof.NightJack
 
There’s also the fact that Specter being Makoto was supposed to be a SURPRISE (even though it was totally obvious), but they still had “Makoto” in place of “onii-chan” BEFORE this was actually revealed.

@Prof.NightJack
 
TIGHTEN UP REALITY GANGSTER.
 
(Apparently those lines are titles of songs from some Japanese band’s album, though I don’t remember the band’s name)

@Jarkes  
I’ve noticed it the most in their sentai subs when they clearly are first meeting a kid and out of nowhere the sub has them say their name because an honorific is used and then the the main character introduces themselves to the kid.  
How would the kid know the name without being introduced to them?

Master Org looks like the Gorma Emperor.

@09MurphyM  
I think that’s actually where they got his costume.

@09MurphyM
 
Yeah. But NOT Gorma Emperor XV as is commonly and mistakenly believed. It’s actually Colonel Shadam’s “Gorma Emperor XVI” costume. You can tell because of the round helmet (which has an Org horn added) and the massive shoulder pads. Gorma Emperor XV just had a robe and a rather oddly shaped hat.
