A Look at Red #10

The second half of the ambiguously gay duo...

Character: Eric Meyers
Actor: Daniel Meyers
Ranger: Quantum Ranger

Eric takes the term hardass to a level nevel before seen on Power Rangers. He's the first 6th Ranger that's Red, he's also the first Ranger that sides with only himself when he first receives his Powers. He was originally Wes's "friend" in Prep School. (Yeah he's Wes's "friend" just like Achilles was Patroclus' cousin.. cousin yeah that's it, cousin.) As the series unfolds, the Leader of the Silver Guardians (That would be Eric at the moment) lets some of his ice queen exterior melt and the two Red Rangers re-establish their bond. Eventually Wes inherits the position of Leader of the Silver Guardians and requests Eric as his (coughs) partner.

I admit, initially I hated Eric for being an ass. Then I realized that was what I liked about him the most. And on another note, watching the Japanese crossover episode for this series my brain halted onto one peg seeing the resemblence to the Japanese version of his character. They look very much alike, in appearance and demeanor. That was one very very good bit of casting. Posted by Picasa

In Eric's case, I'd say... Easily slashable... very easily slashable. Out of curiosity, in your opninion, who are the first two gay rangers?
