I'm sure you know this, but for those who don't, the reason why Saban wrote Skull out of the series was because Jason Narvy (Skull's actor) was finishing college and pursuing a degree in theater and needed to leave the show.

[@AkamoriRivals]

So, I have met all of the original rangers (with the exception of Thuy Trang) as well as Bulk and Skull. I have a diecast morpher signed by David, Karan, Amy, Jason, Austin, and WEJ. But... Of all of the cast that I have met, Bulk and Skull were the two most down-to-earth, friendly, and relatable. When I met them at a convention, I had my son with me, he had never watched Power Rangers at that point, I think he was only about four. But Bulk and Skull took us in for our photoshoot and treated my son like he had been a Power Ranger fan for twenty years. My son kept saying he loved Bulk and Skull (Even though he had no idea who they were, and they could tell). Bulk signed a dollar bill (Without charging for any autograph), gave it to my son and said "So, you say you love Bulk and Skull. BUT! If you really love Bulk and Skull, I want you to keep this dollar bill and never spend it, because if you do, it means you don't love Bulk and Skull." He gave my son the dollar bill, and it still hangs on the wall, with that picture of the four of us, to this day. One of my favorite things about meeting them though, was my interaction with Skull. As we were preparing to take our photo together, Skull was like "So, we ready to do this?" And I said "yeah but just remember Skull... Be the swallow... Be the swallow." (a nod to skull trying to hype himself up before jumping out of the plane in the MMPR movie). Skull looked at Bulk and said. "He's been waiting twenty years to say that." I laughed so hard. Bulk and Skull were, without a doubt the best and most welcoming celebrities I have ever met, I could tell just from being around them that they were immaculate human beings, and I take any opportunity to sing their praises, because they really made the entire event worth it. WEJ, Karan Ashley, Jason David Frank, and all of the others were great too. But Bulk and Skull really, really stand out to me as the ones who made that convention memorable.

[@Steveman27]

I was imagining Bulk and Skull's theme music playing while Bulk was talking to your son about the signed dollar bill.

[@MrVariant]

Very wholesome story. Do admit it was fun watching them become better people, I remember the PSA about acting which yeah don't hassle if they dint wanna be in character, and apparently they had a lotta favorites in real life, a silver lining despite the mess the show had sometimes behind the scenes (which wasn't their fault).

[@ghostface1529]

I always loved how the actor of bulk was so dedicated in his role he played his iconic role for a whole new generation

[@gregorylieber8362]

The Bulk and Skull music is ICONIC

[@brookswilliams5239]

YESSSSS!!!!!!

[@TheNotoriousCheeto]

Bulk and Skull were genuinely great comedic relief. They had excellent timing and facial expressions. With all due respect, I think that was missing in Samurai, where too often Bulk would just get covered in goo or something, without adequate set up for the payoff to work. But still, their original run was fantastic.

[@Cheezus]

it's funny to me that Bulk and Skull ended up being two of the longest running characters on the show compared to the rangers swapping out all the time due to both working conditions/wages and the sudden trend to swap heroes out. (both entirely related)

[@zeokingsilver]

they were the longest

[@6oclocknewsat8]

Bulk and Skull are so awesome in the finale of In Space. They lead the citizens of Angel Grove into battle against the evil to in order to help the Power Rangers. Witnessing the Power Ranger are still outnumbered, Bulk shouts, "Come on! Let's get in there! Who's with me?", shakes Skull's hand like "Good luck, buddy", Skull like "Same to you, pal", and leads the charge. Bulk and Skull finally had their moment in the sun.

[@bigrandy2]

The show might be called power rangers, but it's kinda cool how Bulk is the most used character of all of them with Skull being 2nd followed by Tommy. And then to find out that Bulk and Skull are brother-in-laws at the end of samurai is awesome

[@KRS2000]

Very informative. I've been out of the game since halfway through the original run of Power Rangers Turbo, so I never knew what happened to these guys. From being bullies, to helping humanity take a stand against evil, thats real character development.

[@cujoedaman]

The fact that these two didn't show up in some form in the latest movie was a crime against all Ranger fans.

[@theajshow]

I love Bulk & Skull! They became my favorite part of the show after awhile. My favorite episode is the 2-parter "King for A Day" during ZEO where they truly were heroes, even though no one on Earth knew about it.

The most memorable comical relief duo throughout Power Ranger lore...Bulk & Skull.

[@JaredLS10]

My head canon that in Forever Red they know that Tommy is a former ranger and leader which would explain them being so timid around him when they give him the phone. Still blows my mind that Jason Narvy is a college professor now.

[@TheOmegazerox]

It could be that they new Tommy was a ranger. I still think Tommy had become verry sucsessfull maby even rich after he handed over his turbo morpher so they could have just ben trying to respect him and keep thier job at his pool or massion or something. It seamed they were scared cause the call was from Andross and they knew of his red space ranger identity. Even though Tommy is no longer a ranger he was aparently still keeping an eye on things. He was basicley a ranger withought a suit.

[@saphiriathebluedragonknight375]

I guess you haven't seen Dino Thunder yet. Tommy became a famous paleontologist. Great season. You should watched it.

[@margarettburns7544]

My theory is that Bulk in the future became Zordon. That's how he knew who to pick in the beginning.

[@GameDevMadeEasy]

Countdown to Destruction was such a great ending to In Space. Bulk and Skull really did have a huge moment of character development. I remember binging MMPR through SMF on netflix about 4 years ago and seeing that scene made a tear well up in my eyes. Especially considering that they were the first to step up when it counted without powers. To this day, I still hold the belief that Bulk and Skull should have become Power Rangers in the main timeline. That moment alone showcased that they were worthy of gaining the power and using it for good.

[@etherealdreamerart]

Wished Zordon and the rangers would have let these two in on the secret in the beginning. They would have been more useful and covered for the rangers.

[@teamsteed1]

Same here.

[@pirateraider1708]

In their early days they were selfish jerks who probably would've exploited that knowledge. So maybe not right from the start, but that probably would've worked at a later point.

[@etherealdreamerart]

@@pirateraider1708 True true. Agreed. But if they did try and exploit their identities, Zordon and Alpha would teleport them to the command center and erase their memory. Haha.

Ethereal Dreamer Art I think there was one episode in season 2 where they discovered the Rangers' identities and when they stood up to the monster to buy them time they got their memories erased.

Do you know what would have been awesome? If they didnt bring bulk and skull back in Samurai, but saved them for Megaforce. They ascend to become mentors using thier studies of the power rangers that they showcased in mmpr, throughout the series we get to see snips or explanations of interactions between bulk &skull and the various pr teams over the years. How did they tap into the morphing grid? Simple, alpha 5. Alpha wasnt disassembled and put into a box, both them and bulk and skull have been planning the megaforce team since the end of lost galaxy bc they knee that the world would need power rangers again someday, and they would need the assistance of the knowledge and experience of other teams. It continues bulk and skull on thier path from bullies to heroes and extends it to the next level, it explains why the powers are based on previous teams and gives an easy explanation as to how to bring in guest stars from the other seasons. And *that* is how you do an anniversary season
