Here's to hoping we actually get a new theme song for Dino Charge, and not just "Go Go Power Rangers" some more extra.

I will be thoroughly disappointed if "Go Go, Dinocharge!" replaces the perfectly acceptable-for-American-audiences "Brave In" It's not loving Inspector Gadget.

Thanks for that. Honestly though, on its own, Dino Charge works as a morphing call. They're freaking batteries, so you just put them in to charge the gun and oh god that's where the title comes from. Well, that and the image of stampeding ancient beasts, but yeah. Though I suppose it would sound redundant to yell out 'Dino Charge!' for the morph, to then announce that they're Power Rangers Dino Charge. Would make it sound like they have to morph twice.

I like how everyone is mysteriously eighteen. Like, I get it, they want to cast young to get kids to go "gently caress yeah, that could be me", but I really think it's lazy to just make everyone the same age. Some variance in makes for more interesting characters, which is why I've totally dug sentai having dudes around my age lately. (And let's not forget Masato Jin, the 40-year-old BeetBuster.) Also, mega-lolz at Ivan the British Knight from the year 1113. What is this, Mystic Knights of Tir-na-Nog?

It was at least ambitious in that it was a wholly Western concept, and didn't completely cheap out like Tatooed Teenage... Jesus I'm not finishing that name. Plus the extra warrior that came in later had twin hatchets, if I remember right, which was awesome. (EDIT: I seriously do twin hand-axes whenever possible in an RPG almost entirely because of that dude) Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Apr 5, 2014 |

I think the biggest shame is we didn't get another extra warrior. There are a few scant details on a second season that would have had a traditional 6th ranger that was evil then turn and helps the good guys. Word is that funding was cut for Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.

So, watching Silver Lining Part 1. The opening scenes for the episode are actually pretty good. The crash, Mr Burley's remark on how amazing actually being able to drive safely is, the twists on what you'd think would be a rush into fight scenes, and the brief bit at the juice bar allows for more character interaction, even if cut short by another call from Gosei. Also I can't remember, but is this the first time they've used the Gokaiger roll call footage? Either way, also surprised that they did a completely original fight scene for legendary powers with the Lost Galaxy stuff. At first I thought it was just gonna be simply to show off how tough the monster was, given he looked to be owning them within seconds of morphing, but then the fight actually got under way and Jake had his moment and yeeeees. Silver's apparent backstory and characterisation, especially given Jebo's 'darker side' comment, should actually be interesting to watch in action, given how far removed it is from Gai's. If anything, he's kinda gotten a variant of Commander Cruger's backstory, though with less restraint and an almost psychotic glee at the prospect of his vengeance. Which, if that's their way of explaining away Gai's happy go lucky fighting style, that is surprisingly dark ._. Really, the main place I can fault this episode is its reuse of stock footage of the rangers standing still, even when they're in more blatantly different locations than usual. But that's also pretty nitpicky. It might be a while until we get another chance at actually seeing old rangers turn up, but you know what? If this is what we're getting, I really don't mind.

Well it was pretty hard to do anything with Gai's gimmick which is to be Noah's datapad and complaining that the Gokaigers get it wrong whenever they transform. Making him "dark" from Gai who's no question the most excited and grateful ever to be a Sentai/Ranger is a bit jarring.

I got dizzy from all the location jumps. In one scene they went from the sentai stadium to the new zealand version to the sentai plaza to the new zealand version. Didn't even notice they reused the dragon dagger footage instead of the lost galaxy sword.

I still think the funniest is where they're fighting outside the sentai stadium, and then they cut to the stock footage of Orion watching them at the New Zealand plaza (or wherever they did the Lost Galaxy footage). The background is just so obviously different.

I guess I'll just always find it weird that Mr. Burley is always trying to find evidence of UFOs and whatnot in a world where Rita Repulsa was frequently shown on TV and all of Angel Grove claimed to be the Power Rangers to Astronema.

He's dropped that for now, I think. But yeah, one of the things Megaforce has had in general is an uncertainty whether or not the rest of Power Rangers was actually meant to have happened, despite its obvious presence of the keys. An now Super Megaforce is ignoring the fact Megaforce ignored stuff (mostly, Gosei is still a load of hot air).

We've got our morphin madness winners: MMPR Red Ranger MMPR White Ranger Turbo Phantom Ranger Lightspeed Rescue Titanium Ranger Time Force Pink Ranger I'm honestly surprised that MMPR Green didn't beat white. So does this mean that these five are gonna be released as a set or is it only for the sweepstakes winners? If it's only for the winners, that titanium ranger key is gonna be mad expensive on ebay.

Which is weird, given how Blue Senturion/Signalman did, and arguably VRV Master's more integral to the plot then him, being Dappu's dad and all, but I haven't watched Carranger.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised they didn't include one in the Metal Hero set when they included AbarePink and Ninjaman/Ninjor, especially since Ninjaman never had a key in Gokaiger either.

New clip from the next episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekMr7loBKcg Basically, Orion's an Andresian (Andrasion? Andreision? We'll see what the spelling), and yep, his planet was destroyed. He and Tensou can speak the same language (though Tensou mght just have that on memory) whilst Gosei is evidently familiar with the concept of the Silver Ranger in this form, but from the sounds of it not with Orion himself. But rather, there had been a Silver Ranger before Orion (or the key was just laying around), and the key was lost when the planet was leveled. That said, this might raise even more questions on where the keys come from. Because if Gosei had one shipped off into freaking space whilst even Megaforce was going on, the Rangers were left in the dark yet again by their so called mentor.

I mean to be fair, Gokai Silver got his powers by the sheer determination of the past dead 6th rangers so it's not the most out-of-nowhere thing.

Or am I mistaking destroyed planet for genocide... the series has used one to cover up the other before.

Lineups I hope they do that Gokaiger didn't: Mighty Morphin with Ninjor Turbo with Blue Senturion Lost Galaxy with Magna Defender (all six) Mystic Force with Solaris Knight Solaris Knight, White Ranger, Wolf Ranger Lightspeed Rescue (all six) 6 Battlizers (lol, they probably lost all those suits)
