Tonight, for the first time in a few weeks, I discussed Metaranger with my partner in idea jchance, and even wrote part of episode 3, "Family."

I realized that I'd never posted episodes 1 and 2 for evaluation. So, here they are:

Metaranger Episode 01: "101"
Metaranger Episode 02: "Nothing To Fear"

As a reminder, here's how I summed up the "Metaranger" scripts last time:

"They were five ordinary students...until they got the Hero's Keys. Now they're the Metarangers, five different aspects of the Hero--Slayer Red, Protector Blue, Healer Green, Teacher White, and Trickster Black--and they have to defend themselves and their world from demons of fear, lust, jealousy, and far, far worse."

Basically, it's a Power Rangers/Super Sentai-style story, as created by Americans (as opposed to just adapted), with the central theme the metaphysics of heroism, and a bit more mature than the kid-aimed Rangers shows.

It'll never see television, of course--but wouldn't it be fun.
