MY ADAPTATIONS ("POWER RANGERS: KENDO WARRIORS"):
Well, another season has come and gone, and so has Power Rangers: Kendo Warriors. It is always sad to have a season come to an end, especially when you devote so much time and energy to it. I must confess that I have had some tough hardships writing the series (due to the motifs of traditional Japanese culture and Samurai warriors. I am a bit glad that it is over, but am sad at the same time.

2010 ADAPTATION ("POWER RANGERS: STAR GUARDIANS"):
The three-part premiere episode ("It's All In The Cards") of Power Rangers: Star Guardians will be posted this coming Friday (March 5, 2010). I am looking forward to writing this series...so much so, I am working on an original story arc that will include our favorite evil rangers from the past. Be expecting the story in April or May, and a future episode that will focus on Heath (Red)'s love for the outdoors.

THE RUMOR MILL:
The rumor mill is starting to churn for the new series...

The new series (Goseiger) has only aired three episodes, and rumors about the sixth ranger are surfacing:

Ranger= "GoseiKnight" (Mystic Tribe)
Morpher= "Leon Cellular"
Weapon= "Leon Laser"
Headder= Egg Headder
Mecha= Mystic Runner (an ostrich)

Also, a "Dice-O" card has revealed the possibility of a potential seventh ranger that belongs to the Exotic Tribe.
