The cast is better than Samurai by far. The only person that's been terrible is that Austin St. John imitation from Season 2 Troy.

The pacing is bad though. Gosei's been reduced to nothing more than "Oh, by the way, here's some Zords." Even the comic relief has had more airtime. The villains are also pretty generic and brooding.

I can't stop laughing at how Troy is more robotic than the actual robot. :roflolmao:

Hell, he's the most robotic Red Ranger ever. Move over, Mack.

So after watching the first 2 episodes of the new Dino Charge season, I have gotta say I already love Hekyl.

Snide's a generic baddy, but Hekyl is just having so much fun that he steals the show.

Also this week was basically "Does this rag smell like chloroform?" in kids' form. Kinda sadistic.

Ordinarily I'd agree...but that teaser shows them becoming full on superman strong. Billy takes a head butt without even rocking back, and the assailant knocks himself out.

Ask me when he takes a laser shot.

So rather then being created from objects the monsters this time are just contestants on the game show, that makes sense and I don't really have a problem with that.

I love the Robot Devil guy that hosts the show.

Here's notes about Lightspeed:

Carter will shoot first. If shooting first does not work, he will shoot more.

Carter shot a tornado?!?!?!

I have no interest in PR shows that pretend to be serious or whatever. The series is at its best when it plays to its inherent strengths as a weird, schlocky mishmash of sentai footage and not some overly serious gripping drama like strange "adult" fans think it should be.

There are times when the serious approach works (In Space, Time Force) but most of the time they don't work.

Alright, this one I remember being my favorite Ninja Storm episode.

Lothor engaging in fisticuffs is great.

Samurai Sentai Rangers Shinkenger seems a really blatant 1:1 adaptation.

I'm surprised we never found out that Jonathan Tzachor got kicked out of school for plagiarism.

I've got a friend with the perfect storm of bad Power Rangers Opinions. He thinks Carter sucks because he took on giant monsters without a Megazord, arguing that a Red Ranger shouldn't be that headstrong or aggressive.

Mind you, he also thinks that after in Space, they should have done straight adaptations of the Sentai, and that Jungle Fury and RPM were bad, so at this point, he's just wrong about Power Rangers.

Are you friends with Jonathan Tzachor?

The Zord fight in Family Fusion was Saban as hell. Three different instrumentals and none of them were Ninja Steel. The Dino Charge one was the worst offender.

The show was absolutely popular before the Green Ranger, but it did propel the show into the stratosphere for sure.

It was a month and change between the debut and that

Turbo may have had a bad stretch a little ways in where detonator stopped being a word, but I think overall it's actually been a pretty strong season. Certainly not deserving of some of the flak I've heard people give it. (Disclaimer: This is coming from someone whose only exposure to the franchise is Liz's videos.)

It's probably a good thing they decided to replace the cast, the first half of Turbo reminds me of an aging sports team with bad superstars, then at the second half, they trade all the dead weight and bring up the youngsters from the farm.

It's great how PRiS just immediately gets rid of everything that sucks

Divatox and her lame crew- gone
Justin- gone
Alpha 6- managed
TJ as a not very good leader- demoted to blue
Carlos- Carlos

Dimitria - Does anyone know where she went? Does anyone care?
