Heinlein might have approved
29 May 2003
What I liked best about this wonderful series was the way it mixed advanced tech (robots, space travel, etc.) with rustic tech (farming, camping, etc.). This one had a touch of realism that comes from showing how people in an advanced society might integrate their technical assets with older skills in a synergistic way. It reminded me of the same feel that Robert Heinlein's "juvenile" stories (Farmer in the Sky, Starman Jones, Between Planets) created, and in the same way. These rangers aren't just about pushing buttons and saying, "make it so" to their androids. They deal with people in some pretty gritty situations, using _everything_ a lone law enforcer has to call upon, whether it blinks, beeps, or just needs a swift kick.

Like everyone else, I dearly wish SciFi or Cartoon Network would run this one. It was great.
