Better Know a Ranger: In Space

Andros
Actor: Christopher Khayman Lee

Andros is a human from the planet KO-35. How such a thing is possible is never explained. Anyway, when he was a lad, his sister was kidnapped by an evil monster, and he's spent the rest of his life looking for her. If you guess that he'll find her over the course of this season, you'd be correct.

Around Power Rangers in Space, the producers decided to really emphasize the Red Ranger, and give them way more storylines than had normally been the case. Sometimes this worked out okay, like in this season, sometimes...it didn't. Someday, we'll have to deal with those other shows, but Andros is basically okay.

Christopher Khayman Lee's only other roles have been bit parts on TV, and he hasn't worked since 2004. According to the internet, he's Chyler's Leigh sister. I don't know who Chyler Leigh is, though, so I have no idea what that means.

T.J. Johnson
Actor: Selwyn Ward

T.J. has been demoted to Blue Ranger this season, which is probably for the best given the unfortunate end to his tenure as leader of the Turbo Rangers. As further punishment, his main role this season is to get beaten up a couple of times.

Selwyn Ward hasn't done any acting since I last wrote about him, as is true for the remaining Rangers.


Carlos Vallerte
Actor: Roger Velasco

Carlos is now the Black Ranger, because that's just the way the Japanese footage roles. This season, he continues his development as a poor man's substitute for Adam. He has a couple of spotlight episodes, and neither are very good. Less soccer this time, though, and for that I am grateful.


Ashley Hammond
Actress: Tracy Lynn Cruz

Ashley returns as the Yellow Ranger and spends most of the season doing her level-best to become the first Earth-woman to sleep with a man from another world, namely Andros. Beyond that, she fulfills the role of the Yellow Ranger, that of space-filler, admirably.



Cassie Chan
Actress: Patricia Ja Lee

Cassie is back as the Pink Ranger. I don't remember what she did last season, I think she had a bunch love interests that sucked. Okay, we're done here.
