I am very ashamed at Saban Brands for saying that they were holding off auditions for "re-tooling?" You disappointed many fans for a Goseiger adaptation. I never usually complain about anything for Power Rangers, but this is the first time I am really pissed. I hope that this will be a Hybrid series or maybe the Gosei adaptation will be a 20-episode miniseries of sorts and air the Gokaiger adaptation right after?? I hope Saban Brands has a red herring.
