This season that followed the ever-so-awesome season of Time Force was bit of a couple levels down of awesomeness, but it still part of my Top 5 and I still do recommend this season. Let get into the Premise.
Over 3000 years ago, these ancient monsters known as "Orgs" have been extinct thanks to these legendary heroes that were known as the "Wild Force Rangers", but in 3000 years later in 2002, they rises again and continues to ruled the world with the help of their returned leader, Master Org. But eventually the Mentor Princess Shayla, who have been resting through-out all the years on the unknown island known as Animarium, contacted five people whose personalities matches that of the Rangers and their animal spirits, Cole, a kind-spirited young man with a passion for animals and was raised in the Amazon who came to the States to find his parents that he never met, Taylor, an strict Air Force pilot who went missing due to a plane about to clash but was saved by the Animarium, Max, an playful and goofy aspiring Bowler, Danny, a Strong but yet kind man with a passion for Flowers, and Alyssa, a caring and kind girl who is attending College. The five were chosen as the Rangers with Cole being the Red Lion Ranger, Taylor the Yellow Eagle Ranger, Max the Blue Shark Ranger, Danny the Black Bison Ranger, and Alyssa the White Tiger Ranger, together as Rangers, they helped take down Master Org and his entire army once and for all, but on their way they met another powerful Org, a wolf-like Duke Org named Zen Aku, who strangely have everything the Rangers have especially Zords, and even have a Heart, which all of our heroes by then knows that Orgs do not have a heart, but eventually they look into his background and learns that he use to be one of the original Wild Force Rangers named Merrick, but is under a curse, which means there supposed to be six Rangers, not five. Eventually our five heroes helps broke the Curse and finally met Merrick and welcomed him as a new member of the team. Merrick, however, tends to refuse but upon receiving his morpher back after all of those years being trapped in the Zen Aku's curse, becoming the "Lunar Wolf Ranger", he comes to help the Rangers at everytime there is a Org in town, and with six Rangers now, they all tries there hardest at stopping Master Org's biggest plan of World Domination.
Wild Force was a fun and interesting Season, interesting with some of the Characters and bunch of the Episodes. I'm going to begin talking about the Characters with Cole, a very interesting character as his arc is fascinating with searching his parents only to eventually find-out they were actually murdered in cold blood by no other than Master Org, who actually had an connection with his parents, a very somewhat disturbing one which I shall not get into due to this being Spoiler-free. Cole had a great personality of caring for others and a kind relationship with Animals as equal to that of Humans, the interesting nature of Cole that he like the Season version of Andros from "In Space" as due to him being someone who grown-up in the Amazon Jungle, knows nothing about what people do in a country like the United States, which makes him and Andros great characters as they're both learning characters which means they try their best to understand what certain things they never grown-up knowing, with Andros knowing nothing what they do on Earth due to him being a Alien, and Cole knowing nothing what they do in a first-world Country. Taylor was fascinating as she seems to be her own leader as after-all she is the first modern Ranger of the team, and had a mixed relationship with Cole with him being actually chosen by Princess Shayla as the Leader and seen certain parts of Leadership different then that of Taylor which leads to her being quite Jealous of him, a-lot like Eric and Wes which I'll get to that actually later-on in the review, but anyways Taylor eventually would accepts Cole as a Leader and renounced her original views on him. Max and Danny were two great characters, I'm putting them together as they are both common characters as they are the comic reliefs of the Season, and it no surprise that they're best friends. Max's comic moments is always him being the Kid of the group due to his playful attitude. Danny's comic moments are when he with Max and Alyssa just comes up quite hilarious. Max and Danny's motto is always the three words "Never Gives Up!" which is the season's theme, it all about Teamwork which is what Cole believes in when it coming to be a leader of a group. Alyssa wasn't much of a interesting character, just a college girl, that all she is to me. Merrick now is a-bit of a less interesting character as well, he just comes up being a watered-down version of Eric from Time Force, as he also an Reluctant team-member, but his evil counterpart, Zen Aku, is something I'll definitely get into. Before I can get to Aku as now I'm talking about the villains of the season, I think it'll makes sense to talk about the main one first, Master Org. He was a pretty creepy character, plus with a dark origin story which summed up more greatness to this guy, but like I said already, I won't get into the character's background, you have to check that out for yourself. After the episode we discovered who Master Org was and got beaten by Cole who destroyed his Org half, a new Master came around named "Mandilok" who is just a god-awful villain who I literally didn't care for and his episodes that just shows how much this character dreads I'll get to when I speak about the episodes, but when Master Orgs returns in 10 Episodes later, was awesome, especially how he went from being what he originally was which is being a Human to an actual Org, which shocks everyone, and eventually destroys the ever-so-worthless Mandilok, just epic. Zen Aku, his story arc is what makes up the best of the season, with the character of Zen Aku just an interesting awesome character, with stealing all of the Rangers' zords and having his own Megazord just like the Rangers just makes him an awesome villain, but yet let makes him and his arc more interesting is that he knows he not a full org as he does feels for others and even he actually destroys an Org which is a broken rule, he knows there something wrong, and him searching for his memories was nice to see, and with the Rangers being a-bit confused of discovering what Zen Aku been doing makes them feel something different about him which led to them to ultimately learns the truth about him. The other good episodes beside the 7-part long Zen Aku arc, are the crossovers in this season which are "Reinforcements from the Future" and "Forever Red". Reinforcements from the Future was the Time Force crossover which I got to say, is one of the best crossovers that this entire show ever presented, only second to "To the Tenth Power" from "Lost Galaxy", the Relationships in this particular crossover with our heroes from Time Force and that from Wild Force are fun to watch, especially that with Taylor and Eric which is something I said I was going to get into and here I am, their relationship was nice as it presented as a "Love-hate" one with Taylor being strict like always with Eric who in the beginning of the episode gives her a Speeding ticket and once him and Wes were fighting as Rangers against the Mut-Orgs who are the main antagonists of the crossover, and once the Wild Force Rangers came along for help and discovered who they are, Taylor recognizes Eric from earlier and hate it as he didn't seems to appreciate their back-up, that what makes these characters worked-out with together with them both despising others because of what they are with Personalities with Eric always being reluctant to fully joined the Time Force Team and Taylor always disliking the others with their beliefs of Friendship, especially Cole. As I promised from my Time Force review, I would continued talking about Ransik's story and now I am with this crossover, how he portray in this was once again done well by Action legend, Vernon Wells, and his story's continuation in this episode was perfect as he decide to fully renounced his evil ways and joined the Rangers' in their mission of stopping the Mut-Orgs, whose Ransik have a connection with about how he got his powers, and how his story ended was just amazing, the best way of ending a Sympathetic who they cleverly made him turned into a good guy. "Forever Red" is no doubt one of the most coolest episode in the entire series, it a shame they didn't bothered making it a Two-parter, but the episode contains all of the Red Rangers shown in the previous seasons along with Cole is just an awesome thing to watch and the episode is a-lot of fun seeing all of these Red Rangers even Cole. Other episodes in this season are good in their own ways, especially the first three which I absoultey loved. However the Episodes I can complain about are the episodes with the little kid Kite, just a terrible character and a stupid development, really, a kid who loves Kites and is named Kite, just dumb, and these were the Episodes that Mandilok was horribly memorable for. This was yet again, another season with a great Finale, "The End of the Power Rangers", just awesome with the most powerful appearance of Master Org or I should say, more badass then ever, and the Rangers' final fight scene which was set in the rain was just amazing, definitely in my top 5 favorite finales, just like this series being in my top 5 favorite seasons.
Over-all this Season was nearly great, it just doesn't have the vibe that Time Force with being a-lot serious, but still I do recommend this season to anyone who haven't see this season of Power Rangers or have but only a few episodes.
