This PR season is going to be a first for me -- the first one I'll be
watching having seen the entire season of the Sentai upon which it is based.
I just hope it doesn't hinder my ability to enjoy PRMF for what it is and
judge it on its own merits and not on how it's like/unlike Magiranger.
Hey, I got DSL in the fall and I was looking forward to downloading stuff. I
got curious.
I like the concept they chose to get to the magic. I like seasons that start
off with a pre-existing relationship within most, if not all, of the team.

It's roots are Arabic. Can't be certain which one.

I think it's clearly to indicate that the character is indeed Aussie/Kiwi --
the first since Kat. How it got to be that could be one of two things -- 1)
by design or 2) the actor couldn't master un-accented speech for the
American audience and they got to a point where they just had to go with it.

It still goes back to AOL's dropping of newsgroups. I think those of us
still here can keep something going but it seemed like no one wanted to be
the first one to post something and start the thaw.
There's a decent starting point for the series. Let's see how they pull it
off -- knowing there are only 32 episodes to this season.
