Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: A Journey of Sacrifice 

"Kendrics was the only Ranger to be killed off. The reason being was that Vernon was diagnosed with leukemia and had to leave the series to undergo treatment; Saban still credited her, however, so they could assist in paying for her treatment" I love that Saban did that.

Find someone who talks about you the way The Disney Brain talks about Lost Galaxy.

"Karone is one of the greatest characters in all of Power Rangers." Amen to that. She is by far my favorite Pink Ranger.

I love Time Force and how emotionally driven it was at times. But Lost Galaxy is when shit got REAL. From the very first episode too. It was like they were awarding the fans for helping save the show after In Space

I just realised why I love the Magna Defender. He is basically a Mandalorian. Race of people who wear armour and never take off their helmets with awesome weapons.

Can't believe I never thought about the fact that the evil aliens in this were bugs and how the soldiers had the star ship trooper gear on lol

Why the new Saban stuff sucks, simply because seasons like this show that you can have serious and genuinely good story writing without dumbing it down just cause it's "for kids". I loved power rangers as a kid because it didn't treat me like an infant and the acting wasn't forcefully cheesy, it felt natural and they actually put real effort into what they did.

Kendrix dying because Valerie Vernon had leukemia was heartbreaking, but it did open the door for Karone to become the new Pink Ranger, completing her redemption arc. It was also very cool of Saban to keep giving her credit so she could get paid as well as covering the cost of her treatment. Trakeena is my third-favorite big bad behind Ransik and Astronema/Karone. The story of the Magna Defender is generally sad and dark, but it was a great way for the series to grow up along with the fans.

One day I'll become a superhero by becoming a stowaway, just like Leo Corbet.

Kendricks's body was vaporized, her spirit went into the sword, & when they were put back into the stone, she was restored along with the planet & people. That makes the most sense.

I'm glad that Lost Galaxy is getting the respect it deserves. It's my favorite season too and this video made me love it even more. The themes I got from it was not letting the past define you and how the different ways to deal with death either through revenge (Magna Defender, Trakeena), moving forwards (Rangers and Trakeena to a degree) and keeping mementos of said person (Magna Powers for Mike, Staff for Trakeena, Dog Tags for Leo, Quasar Saber for Karone). Now that I think about it; this season had more character deaths than any other season and unintentionally made it as one of it's main themes. People die on either side of the war. Pretty powerful for a kids show. This season kicks ass and I appreciate finding another fan who seems to love it more than I.

After rewatching Lost Galaxy, my favorite character from that series was Damon. He was true and courageous and always did the right thing.

Dude this is my favorite season next to the original and in space. Glad to see that Lost Galaxy is getting respect!

After reading about how insane the production of this show was (Seriously, look it up.), it's kind of astounding they made something this great out of it. Kudos, this was a great video.

charlie brown themed outfits.. can't unsee it

Good insight. This is a series you would want to watch as an adult again, cause as a kid; you'd never even look twice at these complex themes.

This was a truly worthy successor to Space, and ranks as my second favorite season of Power Rangers of all time.

Leo's face after the planet gets "frozen over" has a mix of pain, anger, and sadness on it. He just lost his brother and wants revenge, but at the same time, he doesn't believe he's worthy of his power. Great acting.

This series... it made me cry. It was fun, but it knew when to tug at the heart strings. Just everything was beautiful.

"Furio gets really mad..." Would you say that Furio got Furious?

Such an amazing season in the PR universe. Holds up and gets real that modern seasons lack due to adhering to a bit of a younger audience. It was a crazy change up that paid off very well.

Liked this season. Maya Kendrix and karone were my favorite characters. Hated that Kendrix sacrificed herself but glad karone stepped up to take her place. I felt maya had the most growth. Glad cerina Vincent is still acting.

Mike's sacrifice is a thing that for many children became an first emotional trauma when they saw the Rangers for the first time. Especially for my sister, because at the time of viewing she had no idea what death was. 0.0 And even though he came back later, we were all terrified, just like Leo, that it would happen again. My heart sank every time this Corbett did something suicidal. Especially at ep.18 when the monster almost pulled him into the ship and Leo screamed "Not this time!" Yes, damn it! This season was able to play on emotions and periodically remind you of psychological wounds from beginning to end. Т_Т

I only ever saw (or knew about) Lost Galaxy thanks to the AMAZING crossover with Lightspeed Rescue. As a kid, owning the VHS with the episodes was a delightful experience, & introduced me to the Power Rangers series (when it was good).

this made me realize that Leo is one of my favorite Red Rangers next to Andros, Jack, Scott, Carter, and Jason

Just to avoid future nitpickers, the RPM in Power Rangers RPM stands for "Racing Performance Machines"; it wasn't brought up at all in the show. It was said in blurbs on Bandai's website.

*places down a morpher on a table* we who know this season understand it perfectly. hate it or not this series had a great amount of meaning. I still love this story and I will always have an opinion and love for the power rangers. for better or worse I'm glad their here to stay. good series or bad I'll keep watching. stand up heroes and heroines... it's morphing time...

I've spent most of my quarantine being validated by The Disney Brain by backing me in why all of my favorite seasons are good.

You've got me crying 😂😭 I loved lost galaxy! I agree that it was one of the best seasons ever! It actually has a story, not just random things added for entertainment and nostalgia.

Lost Galaxy is easily my favorite season for a few reasons: - Leo is the greatest red ranger and his story was so captivating -Magna Defender is my favorite 6th ranger (ally) -Seeing a ranger die in battle, made the series much darker and serious -As you mentioned before, a good amount of characters had redemption -Trakeena was the first very creepy main villain -Best theme song

This season really demoted us that Power Rangers wasn't always a show for kids, really when we were kids we couldn't realize a lot of things that we can see when we grow up and that's why I'm proud to say that I grew up watching Power Rangers since Mighty Morphin and I'm not ashamed to say I still see them now that I'm 27

I love this series... Lost Galaxy and In Space are and will always be cherished in my memory.

Seeing Trakeena merge with Deviot was hella creepy but awesome, in terms of making her more obsessed with revenge & domination. Her personality & psychosis combining w/ Deviot changed her for the worst, physically & mentality. Driving her mad. Her physical changes: The demonic yellow eyes, the added tentacles in her hair, her more pale skin, the mechanical-robotic reverb in her voice, and Deviot's blaster on her arm. Her mentality changes: Becoming less reasonable & willing to compromise. Also being more ruthless & overly obsessed with destroying Leo & the rangers. P.S. She didn't have to sacrifice her stingwingers & kill Villaimax like that.

Kentrix, Karone & Cassie moments makes me cry here, cuz theres so many beautiful & sad moments, theyre so amazing, i love them 💖

The Return of The Magna Defender was my favorite episode, when I was young.

So, are we going to talk about the fact that the body armor and helmets the military guys on the moon had, are the exact same as Starship Troopers?

Seeing as Lost Galaxy is your favorite season I see you have good taste.

Lost Galaxy has one of the best endings in PR, where the Red Ranger puts everything he has on the line to stop the series villian, plus the Mega battle is a simple yet far more effective upgrade compared to what comes after which laiden with heavy CGI.

Wow I never really watched the whole power ranger series but after watching your video, I am somewhat more informed about the series. This season kind of reminds me of star-trek in a way.

In Space, Lost Galaxy, Time Force, SPD, and Ninja Storm are my top 5 seasons.

Gotta say that I always love the Quasar sabers because yes they're morphers but they're also the most practical of all the morphers. Here. You're a power rangers. Pick a sword.

Damn after talking to so many fans of the series I've never heard someone convey the same love for lost galaxy as I. This was an amazing and well thought out video!

Nicely done video. While I was not really a watcher of the older seasons of Power Rangers growing up, as I started with Lightspeed Rescue and then Wild Force, I still know the power Lost Galaxy holds in the fandom for so many brilliant characters. It's one of the reasons I enjoyed the show growing up; when they can make characters into role models. Lost Galaxy in particular gives various roles. The feeling of isolation, discrimination, as well as feeling like you do not belong are some of the themes I noticed in the show and the fact they were able to overcome and surpass is amazing. Cannot wait for you to discuss RPM, as I heard it is pretty good but I'd still like to see your take on it.

I've always enjoyed Lost Galaxy but this was an analysis for something that made me appreciate the season that much more. Thanks for the video, man!

"Edge Lord" XD Love it! And Magna Defender will forever be the most badass character in all of Power Rangers.

"When he encounters the universe's greatest woman....................................and kai, kais is there" I understando braino, when someone sees kendrix on screen she is like a blinding light, that makes you forget that kai exists

This was beautiful.......absolutely beautiful!!!! I almost cried....and I'm not just saying that...... I haven't watched all the episodes of lost galaxy, but I do really like this season!!!! And you know I have too point out..........THAT THEME SONG THO!!!!! 🎶 LOST GALAXYYYY🎶 man I love this show ❤️ And another thing......CASEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY YEEEEESSSSSS!!! THE OBSESSION IS REAL!!!! I LOVE TOMMY TOO!!! UGH I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I'm not crazy.......I'm enthusiastic........there's a difference......😅 And another thing.......w-was th-that an overwatch meme???? you will forever be my favorite RU-vidr!!!!! DO DESTINY NEXT!!!! Ok I'm leaving now....

You really did this show justice and gave it a lot of respect, kudos for doing that.

I remember watching this series and crying like a baby. It knew how to pull at heart strings.

You and Linkara should collab one day

Geez, this video. It gave me such a greater appreciation for this season.

Agree! I also love Lost Galaxy! It also has the great Theme song!

Cant help but cry with how beautiful and passionate and well.made this tribute is to Lost Galaxy. I love the show and I love you

The fact that had Karone come into this was the last Power Rangers to really tie in to the past ranger shows.

The Rescue Mission is the greatest PR episode ever can't forget that

Leo is one of the greatest rangers ever. Yes. Leo is one of the best red rangers ever. The only dudes I’d put ahead of him are Andros (he’s the goat to me) and Wes. I plan on rewatching space through time force again here soon.

Lost Galaxy to this day remains one of my favorite seasons of Power Rangers (next to In Space, Time Force, Dino Thunder, SPD, and RPM) because of the concepts and themes it gives us and the character development of Trakeena is of course a highlight for me as she grows from a spoiled princess to a warrior queen to a crazed bloodthirsty lunatic bent on showing that she's the boss is WHY I love Lost Galaxy

I love Power Rangers Lost Galaxy! It was the first season I watched from the very beginning to the very end. Great season!

Great video, Lost Galaxy was always a favorite of mine. Trakeena's overall transformation from the beginning of the season to the end is just remarkable. She was such a highly developed villain.

I love how you go through and analyze and go deep into the Rangers their character and the seasons themes and the season overall it is so interesting hearing your analysis on all of this as a Power Ranger fan who never really thought about these topics at least maybe not this deep because it's been so long since I've seen these shows and as a kid you just don't really think about stuff like this will it's really great to hear your analysis because now as an adult it makes the season and the characters so much more cohesive everything makes sense as far as character goes Lost Galaxy had probably the best character development and best character depth not just with the heroes but with the villains as well it is literally the opposite of what Samurai did in terms of how they develop their characters for both heroes and villains which as we all know was very poor but not as poor as Megaforce

Recently re-watched Linkara’s review of Lost Galaxy and was disappointed that his final take didn’t reflect my love for this season. This was a refreshing reminder of all the good this season did, and I am glad to have multiple sources to analytically remember such an important part of my childhood!

Who else recognized the starship troopers armor when they saw this before he mentioned it

Great message in this. Especially about Leo! I always thought Linkara wasn't as right on this season. It is my 2nd Favorite!

I had to come back to say that Mia isn't an alien by the way. Pretty sure she is human, it's just a human colony on that particular planet, and that particular colony wasn't very advanced, but human I thought. Much like Andros being a human, and him being from a different planet then earth. I may be wrong but was always under the impression she was human.

I would love to see a video like this for time force dino thunder and lightspeed rescue I would also like to see a video of everything that Megaforce did wrong kind of like you did with Samurai

Maya was my ultimate crush growing up! ..😍😍😍

Fun fact: Lost Galaxy is still till this day most expensive production on any PR show Also Kendricks is great always first one to fight or save just watch 1st ep she first to go into portal for telling at its finest

You know I'm starting to want Power Rangers moved from Nickelodeon to the CW. To be more serious like past seasons. Because since the move to Nickelodeon, the shows been underwhelming and disappointing. And that's the nicest way I can put it

When I was a kid, Magna Defenders death almost made me cry!

Magna Defender has the potential to be Power Rangers’ Boba Fett. Or in other words, an awesome character with a cool design that inspires an entire planet full of awesome characters with cool designs.

Lost Galaxy is still one of my favorite seasons. With magna defender being my all-time favorite character

Beautiful. Just beautiful, man.

I know Modern Power Rangers would never do this, but I'd love it if just to change up the format and add some super interesting character development, the Power Rangers have to start dealing with (and losing to) real world problems OUTSIDE of them being PR or having to deal with other extraterrestrial beings. Like, in the middle of the season, one of the Power Rangers gets hit by a car and dies. Like, no heroic sacrifice, no buildup, just a regular human death that has duck all to do with aliens, and for the rest of the season the other power rangers have to deal with that. Or, one of the PR has a pipe burst in their house, and they have to move in with their Aunt two states away till it's fixed. Or, one of them is a collage student who joined the military, and they're called to deport for the first time JUST as the alien battle is getting serious. If they choose to stay, they'll help the PR, but become a criminal in the eyes of the US government. OR, one or more of the PR think regular human criminals are secretly aliens and end up seriously injuring them, gaining the group unwanted and powerful HUMAN enemies who could kill the PR WAY more easily than any alien, considering they know who to look for and how to kill humans. IT COULD TOTALLY WORK THE OTHER WAY TOO!!! Like, some aliens, looking to attack the Power Rangers, get shot in an altercation with a regular human, and it gets so much media attention that it becomes a 'thing' to try to capture and kill "monsters" when you see them. Or a human looking alien trying to trick the PR could break a human law TOTALLY BY ACCIDENT and legitimately be arrested and put on trial for their crimes. They try to break out but end up being successfully reprimanded again after having killed two officers, and are now sentenced to life without parole. They go to a maximum security prison with legit crazy serial killers and have to try to survive (surprisingly to them) one of the most miserable and dangerous situations they've ever been in. Heck, ONE LITTLE GIRL could end up capturing a knocked out alien and you could have a whole plot line with that! There's so much potential, but a lot of it would probably seem to "adult" to the people making the show.

I haven't seen this season in awhile but I need to ask, how do you lose a galaxy

Might I just say how thankful I am that someone such as yourself can connect an amazing and quite one of the best power ranger stories and really bring it home to all of us on a personal level, now that's something I can really appreciate and admire. Thank you so much!!! and keep up the great videos!!!

Well said, man. I finally found someone who appreciates Lost Galaxy like I do. Most people I talk Power Rangers with doesn't even put Lost Galaxy in their top 5. It's number 3 for all time, but man I love hearing Lost Galaxy praise. Thank you.

Lost Galaxy is and always will be my favorite season.

How does this channel not have more subs. It's such a great producer of content. I've been watching the power ranger stuff nonstop!!!

I don't know if I'm the only one, but as I was rewatching this season I realized that the whole space colony thing doesn't make sense right after an alien invasion. Just think about it, Earth was invaded and almost enslaved by aliens and a few months later the people use their resources to build a space colony and explore the universe instead of rebuilding Earth after the invasion and reinforce its defences for future threats in case the Power Rangers aren't around? Also, months after these people were almost enslaved by aliens they willingly get into the colony to meet more aliens? I mean the sensical thing for these people after what they've been through for the last 6 years is to stay away from anything space-related not jump right into it. Lightspeed Rescue for me is the natural followup to In Space, with people using their resources along with old Ranger tech to rebuild everything that Astronema destroyed and prepare themselves for future threats by creating their own team of Power Rangers. Then again Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue could possibly take place at the same time, and if that's the case then I'm cool.

So much sacrifice that is something power rangers these days can never repeat because the suits behind the scenes only care about toy sells.

A pleasantly complete thesis on why this is a stellar example of how PR does not need to be dumbed down

This is also my favorite series of Power Rangers, Kendrix is still to this day, a hero of mine

Another element of sacrifice comes in the form of how much the rangers sacrifice to take out Trakeena. They throw everything they have at her to wear her down, sacrificing weapon after weapon just to weaken her enough to land what they hope can be a killing blow.

I agree with this video as well, Lost Galaxy was one of my favorite seasons too. I joked on the other video about the Astro Megaship and its lack of use and demise, because I really really did like that ship and consider its handling the only flaw I have issue with, BUT that did not take away enough for me not to end up liking Lost Galaxy. I'm just gonna miss it. A lot.

1:13 so are we just gonna ignore the fact that these guys are wearing the armor from Starship Troopers

This series of reviews has convinced me to go back and watch In Space(my favorite and last Power Rangers season) and Lost Galaxy(the season where I left PR). I'm kinda mad I spoiled the season for myself, but your passion for the two seasons kinda rekindled a fire for me. I'm almost 30 but I feel like the stories and characters in these two seasons really resonate with me, and funny enough, I think Power Rangers as a kid is what really got me into anime as a teen and young adult without even realizing it.

Great review, this season was one of my favorites as well! I've recently wondered how a romance between Leo and Trakeena would have factored into the mix. He and Trakeena had some interesting chemistry in the episode where they fought on the desert planet, and he did show some mild resistance in destroying her in the finale. He never got with anyone in the season, and was supposed to hook up with Kendrix before her actress had to be written out due to medical reasons. And I think some type of romance would have added to this season. I'm not sure if one has even ever been done between a ranger and a villain (could be wrong though). Any opinions?

The starship troopers outfits is what drew me in I didn't understand I thought they were going adult with PR when I was 7 in 2000 lol Also why Yellow rangers so fine

power rangers lost galaxy = starship troopers for the entire family

I totally agree with everything you mentioned. Best story arcs, character development, story lines and great battles. Love it

I think I know why Zhane didn't show up in the team up episodes. He was too busy banging Karone. Alpha: Zhane, the Psycho Rangers have returned and are attacking Terra Venture! Ay-yi-yi! Zhane: Sorry Alpha, I'm a little busy right now Alpha: Why do I hear Barry White playing in the background...?

You mention how awesome it is that Karone had to overcome her evil nature as Astronema to become a great Ranger. I find this amusing because I ran into Melody Perkins at Power Morphicon a while back, and I asked her, did she enjoy playing Astronema or the Pink Ranger more? She said "Astronema, definitely!"

Lost Galaxy was my first season as a kid I was aware of the previous Seasons but lost galaxy was the first one that I ever really watched as a kid thank God

I kind of like to compare Stanton with Commander Riker. It’s like Stanton is the full on leader that Riker May have become had we seen him be an official captain (Wolf359 aside as that was just a glimpse at Riker) Stanton just has that similar attitude

The Magna Defender is the coolest freaking thing ever and I love it with all my edgy kid energy

Is like the colony only had one mechanic Daemon be fixing everything by himself

It's not too surprising from mike, guy convinced the council to do the rescue mission cause he believed that helping should be second nature.

Could you review Code Lyoko, please? I loved that show when it came out, if I remember correctly.

does anyone have a theory how Kendricks came back at the end of lost galaxy my theory that her life force Quasar saber

I enjoyed this. Especially toward the end. Been feeling down in the dumps but I guess perseverance and aiming to do better, to be more, without losing yourself is important as a driving force.
