I sort of have a fanfic planned on this, but I wanted to hear input from you guys first...
In "The Lightyear Factor", we saw the alternate universe Team Lightyear. It's obvious that Buzz was different in that universe, but that episode made me believe that the other rangers each had something different about them - whether it be a physical difference or a personality difference.
I mean, AU Booster seems to act more ... daring and even blunt with his remarks to AU Mira about "Tangeans can't even hit the broad side of a Jo-Adian barn." Mira seemed slightly less secure and more emotional, though you can't really blame her - after all, her father was killed by Buzz. And XR, aside from the physical difference, seemed more noble - less like the short, smart-mouth and more like the tall, silent type.
So, it made me wonder - do you think Marred has more of a possibility of happening in that alternate universe?

Ooh, I'd love to see this fanfic. :3
Oh yeah, they're all definitely different - I've always found this episode interesting in that sense, to see the effects that war has on these characters is really intriguing.
Huh, you know, I guess I never really thought of this, but it seems almost like XR and Mira have switched places. Mira acts a lot more on impulse - and almost seems less of a skilled shot, look at the way she misses Buzz - and XR is definitely more noble.
So... hmm, I don't know... if after all, they're still the same people, and AU!XR does have feelings for AU!Mira... you know what, yeah, I think you may be right, AU!XR does seem to stand a bit of a better chance at winning girls over... if only because he seems more in control of himself. ^^
I wish we would've heard him speak more...

That's why it is so intriguing to me. Golly, I gotta work on that fic.
LOLZ. Yeah, how funny would it be if AU!XR had a bunch of girls attracted to him, but was not very interested in any of them. XD
And was it just me, or was Nebula more accepting of XR as his "son." Maybe AU!Nebula likes robots...
Yeah, and Mira seemed to be more of a wreck. A bad shot, emotionally vulnerable, acting on impulse ... definitely a role reversal.

I love that XR says 'golly'. It's honestly one of my favorite things about him. :3 o-o pfftAHAHAHA XDDD Haha, and then Mira can be all 'but I'm not that girl ;-;' LULZ Oh yeah, definitely much more accepting of XR. Which begs the question... how did AU!Nebula lose his leg? If this is an alternate universe, with entirely different events, he could hardly have been in the same place at the same time to lose his leg... unless he had, like, polio or something...You know, I've always had the idea that Nebula lost his leg to a haywire robot, and that's why he doesn't like them... *gasp* maybe in your fic you should screw with the canon and give AU!Nebula his leg back... o-OThat alternate universe is bleak, man. :< |

Because of XR, I use "golly" a lot more in my everyday speech.  LOL. Talk about role reversal! I always chalked Nebula not having a leg as one of those unsolved BloSC mysteries, like what happened to Mira's mom. But I like your explanation, because it makes a lot of physiological sense. Oh yeah, I always thought that Lightyear Factor was a pretty dark episode for those reasons. I mean, they outright said that Buzz killed Mira's father! How much more dark can you get? Plus, AU!Buzz is much more evil than Zurg, who functions more as a comic character in the episode than the main villian. Yeah, I wished we could have seen more of the alternate universe though, to see how different things really are. |

Yeah, I recently read your fic. Really awesome BTW! But you do need to update.
I thought it was really cool how you sorta switched XR and Mira's roles. I guess it sort of makes sense, though. I mean, those are dark times, so of course XR's going to be more serious. And with Mira losing her father like that! That would make anyone emotionally unstable.
It's funny how he acts a lot like Buzz.
Also, his relationship with the commander is fascinating. I always wondered why Nebula has such deep hang-ups about robots. It's really nice to see him actually caring bout XR.
I seriously think there needs to be an in-depth fanfic dealing with their relationship! Not just AU.
Oh, and BTW, I really like how he says "golly" too! It makes me blush whenever he says it!

Yes, I haven't updated in awhile. Things have gotten really busy around here, with school and all, and I really haven't thought much about fanfiction in a while. XDD
