Great episode this week! Can't wait for the next episode. Door Gun's debut and we may learn something about Chaser, next week!

Aside from the fact that this statement isn't true (most of the big predictions turned out false) there's a difference between being predictable and predicting something.
When someone predicted something about Gaim it was because the show set up those plot twists with carefully planted evidence as part of the larger mystery. They predicted events and facts. Being predictable means a show's narrative is following conventions and typical developements. You're not examining evidence or deducing clues that come to a logical conclusion, you're being able to tell how events play out because they're typical and easy to figure out. It's the difference between a cop drama where one case is predicted by examining the evidence at a crime scene and picking up on non-blatant clues to determine the culprit, verses a guy with an eyepatch, twirly moustache and foul demeanour that clearly says "bad guy" and then having him be the culprit. It is not even true that the show is totally predictable. For example everyone has his idea on the identity of mach and proto drive. On the other hand it is too early to have a serious plot twist ( even gaim was not different in This)

I liked this episode a lot until the last five minutes. The stuff with the reporters was good and interesting and I like the different M.O. for this week's Roidmude. Honestly, it felt like we could have a good done-in-one episode this week that would end with Shinnosuke taking down the camera Roidmude. But then we had to get the requisite fight with Machine Chaser.
I'm already over this guy; he looks cool and all, but he's not much of a credible threat when Drive is kicking his ass week in and week out. He needs to get more powerful: a Machine Chaser appearance should be a "holy shit, things just got serious" moment, not a minor hurdle to delay the main fight against the monster. As it stands now, all it feels like Machine Chaser does is pad out episodes. |

I really enjoyed this episode, Shinnosuke and Kiriko I really enjoy their chemistry together and the scene where he was bored in the car was fun. I love the little Kyoryuger reference when he was going to get wild. I enjoyed that the Roimude worked like a yummy this episode and that it is an interesting development learning there is a Prime Number. I definitely feel they are already building to something bigger. Chase vs Drive continues to be an interesting feud and I love Chase's new weapons Bat and Cobra look awesome. The story with the reporters are interesting too. I am really enjoying this series a lot right now.

Okay, I had very "rambley" post in which I talked about what I would of like from this episode, but I shouldn't be dealing in "what could have beens" I should instead deal with what we got... and all I can say is "Wow that ending made this feel like an episode of OOO." I'm going to go re-watch the episode and process some more.

I just saw the raw, can't wait to read the full dubs. Honestly, I find all the hate towards Drive around the web a little exaggerated. it seems to me a decent toku show with some interesting character and good enemies. The main character is quite funny, to tell the truth. As for the gimmick, it's not that different from the past seasons. I mean... Come on, Gaim had fruit-shaped armours, the car-themed Drive can be hardly more absurd than that
Honestly, I liked this episode a lot. It spent time giving proper character development, and had some action. But I am totally over Leangle..I mean Chaser. I have a very distinct notion of what's going to happen, but it didn't help move the story along other than to give us an extra week of the same Roid. Poor Drive, he's gonna need some Preparation H for that Prime Roid when he comes along.

Another episode I just wasn't into, mostly because I guessed exactly how the episode was going to end in its first 4 minutes. This show is already as repetitive as Wizard. I was hoping it would be something more like W or Fourze, as those shows worked with the 2 episode format.
