My local network habitually aired Power Rangers episodes all out of order when I was a kid – we were lucky if both parts of a two-parter ended up airing consecutively, much less anything further-reaching – so I always had a fuzzy idea of how some of the plot points lined up.

For example, I didn't realise until just now that the gag where Bulk and Skull got turned into chimpanzees wasn't a one-off thing? Apparently they just stayed that way for the next fifteen episodes, and continued to serve as the show's comic relief B-plot in spite of being monkeys, voice-acted Garfield style by their regular human actors?

Now I'm wondering what else the out-of-order airing made me fail to connect the dots for.

Oh God I completely forgot about that weird arc. What do you think was going on behind the scenes that the show just decided to replace two actors with Chimpanzees for 15 entire episodes?

I have no idea, but according to his IMDB page, Paul Schrier – the guy who plays Bulk – is credited as director for three of the sixteen episodes in which he voices a chimpanzee, so it must be a fun story.

(Oddly, Jason Narvy, the guy who played Skull, also appears to have an assistant director credit, though not for any of those episodes.)

I heard they were simply too busy to be on set

No idea if that’s true though

No offense but the internet gives you the most wrong and fucked up idea of helping people because people get mad if you don't care about disasters happening in 72 countries, meanwhile the people in real life that are doing the most good picked one VERY SPECIFIC thing to care about and care about it REALLY HARD

Walks up to a guy working on restoring a native tree species to his downtown "why aren't you posting about grasses in Turkmenistan!"

The internet has taken a whole generation of bright, motivated, passionate young people who care and have big hearts and turned them into paralyzed, shattered wrecks too crushed by the weight of the world's pain to hand a pair of socks to a person in need
