#SPACE RANGERS 2 ELECTRONIC CUTTER SERIES#
There are many instances where you think that this series will be turned around with good ideas, but at best the writers were only able to depart from the 'science' of fiction and add a lot of stupidity in place of a solemn ending. Many episodes were doomed with questionable writing that resembled something out of bad 1970's Flash Gordon knock off. I wish I could give this series a good remark that would be uplifting to those die hard fans of obscurity. The scientist, Mimmer, is played very well but kind of stereotypically as the over eager, so curious, lets find out for science at any cost, I want to go out in to the field, eager beaver. Who doesn't like Linda Hunt? She always does a great job in her role. From what I understand this not an unusual response from those married to law enforcement. Who would win between a Graaka and a Vulcan, interesting thought? The captain is a rather insouciant character that actually cares deeply about many things but first and foremost his crew, at least after his wife took their kid and ran. Still not completely sure what a Graaka is but I sure wouldn't want to cross one.
He is always worried that Central will find out just how much of him is not organic and make him retire. Doc is a hoot as a half rebuilt human with so many robotic parts from past encounters. Marjorie Monaghan is some fantastic Amazonian eye candy and she acts well within the confines of her role. Yeah there is quite a bit to find fault with in this short run series but it is also funny and for the time rather well done as far as special effects go. But when a show has even ONE moment that hangs around in your mind for years - in the first episode's teaser an underground creature that pulls down its prey with tentacles and eats it alive snatches one of the villain's men and later on nearly gets Space Ranger Jojo (Marjorie Monaghan) - it has to have done something right. Team" alongside Angie Everhart, Traci Bingham, Caprice and Roger Moore). or any thoughtful writing or strong acting, admittedly (star Jeff Kaake was last heard of on the even less successful "The D.R.E.A.M. This action-based show was pretty much a live-action cartoon focusing on our peace-keeping heroes, breaking the rules and irritating their superior (Linda Hunt - a long way from "The Year of Living Dangerously"), and with no story arcs anywhere in sight. Not that it was such a great loss, but it wasn't totally useless. "MAD"'s spoof of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" ended with the space station being under threat from "Babylon 5," "Time Trax" and "Space Rangers." As it turned out, it outlasted all of them "Space Rangers" was the first to get the chop. A mediocre series at best, so not of too much viewer interest. This show was a cross between Babylon 5 meeting 'Alien'. There is a robot, tough female, Asian alien stoic warrior, composite human with many bionic parts, a green kid, overbearing military headquarters leader, several odd looking alien races living on the outpost Fort Hope, and the rest, etc been there done that in other shows, sadly enough. The crew characters are cookie-cutter types from many other sci-fi series. *Emotion- A slick CGI sci-fi series with a large cast of crew members that seems very 'formulated', so very predictable with little surprises.
