As a fan of the show since the very beginning, I am SO looking forward to this.

Okay, this thing is out now and I watched it.
It's actually a pretty good, near 1 hour, Anniversary Special. It's quite enjoyable and has everything I could want in a special. Also, it's more violent than most episodes of Power Rangers. However, they can get away with a lot of it because they're beating up foes made of clay and metal. No one's going to care about a killer robot getting quite literally stabbed in the back or a clay man that sounds like a turkey (their words, not mine) becoming a pile of pebbles.
Robo-Rita is a great villain and I loved how she up's the stakes in this. She literally wants to kill the rangers. She can even do it in one attack if she wants.
She even has a really good plan and I love it. She was around for less than an hour and I loved every minute of her.
It's also a good Passing the Torch Story. Who gets the powers when a ranger dies? Are they so tied to the original that they can't be passed on? Are the powers as gone as the ranger is?
Minh was also a pretty good character. Starting out with wanting revenge, but learning that it's not the answer. At this point, I am happy to have her as the new Yellow Saber-Tooth Power Ranger.
It was a great watch and I'll probably watch it again someday.
For now, I got to get back to my TMNT 2012 binge.
See ya later! :wave

I loved it. The nostalgia was so strong. But I really enjoyed Billy and Zack being the head ranger for once. Gotta say it has a dark moment when a certain ranger is slain via a death spell.
Seeing and hearing the Green Ranger in his Dragon armor made me weep, since Jason David Frank died. :(
