The end of Bionostalgia
Ah yes. The gloomy weekend has permitted me to stay inside the house with nothing to do. Except of course to finish the 3rd Bioman DVD.
So what have I learned from watching my ever favorite sentai heroes?
1. After years of denials, I have come to accept that Farrah-Cat is indeed Cynthia Luster. She just had a different screen name then.
2. Pink 5 is the weakest member of the team. Yellow 4 has to help her, in fact a lot of times in the series.
3. Frankie (Blue 3) wins the award for Best Performance in an Excruciatingly Painful Sequence.
4. Kenny (Red 1) has the lousiest drama scene ever. And his previous jobs were being a scout master and a motivational speaker. Don’t believe me? Listen to his lines.
5. Got this from a website: the actress who played Farrah did some kind of "porn" movies prior to Bioman.
6. Another from a website: the actor who portrayed Dr. Man died of some kind of cancer. Forgot what it was.
7. The "antennae" on Biohunter Silver’s elbows had no use, except for killing Mason.
8. One of Japan’s famous actors, Hiroyuki (Henry) Sanada, made a guest appearance in the series as June’s Olympic team captain. He’s the sort-of right-hand man of Ken Watanabe in The Last Samurai. He’s Tom Cruise’s kendo sparring partner there. So imagine how old the Biomen actually are now.
9. The Mechagigans of Dr. Man do not have the ability to fly. They just jump high.
10. After the mission is over, Peebo leaves Earth. Where she’ll go is not established, since the Bio Star was already destroyed. The Biomen will now have to take on actual jobs. No more free food and lodging. Homeless, jobless — welcome to the real world, guys.
11. Lousy ending! Geez, Jetman had a better ending than this one. But hey, I love Bioman. That won’t change.
And so goes my current pastime. Now that Bioman’s over, I guess I’ll have to find something new.
Shaider, here I come!
