Because Dino Thunder was a good season with good characters and, despite it's flaws, good story. Seeing Tommy again was a treat, the core cast was great, and Trent was an excellent Evil Ranger. [spoiler]While that lasted.[spoiler] Some of it could've been done better, but that's every season of Power Rangers (Yes ZeoV, even Zeo :P). But it wasn't near the atrocity of Ninja Storm or Operation Overdrive.
I actually liked Ninja Storm and Operation Overdrive a thousand times more than I liked this season.

I disagree concerning the White Ranger clone. He was so negligible that for entire stretches of episodes he'd just chill out in the base, acting like a complete bitch towards Mesogog and Elsa. He had no motivations, no goals, and no story until his death. Trent's story (At least, the beginning) was one of the best things about Dino Thunder. It had a Jekyll and Hyde approach of Trent wanting to be good and normal, but the White Ranger being heartless and evil. Adding his tension with his father and his resentment of Mesogog, if they didn't drop the ball on the ending Trent's story arc could've been amazing.

Good characters, whose character arcs were dropped half way through? What story? And the clone White Ranger was a much better evil Ranger than Trent ever was, Trent may have been one of the most poorly used and poorly implemented sixth Rangers, ever.

Ignoring the Hillhurst monsters, I think my biggest problem with both seasons of Beetleborgs is how anticlimatic the fights are. So far every episode has mainly consisted of the Beetleborgs walking around with their weapons looking cool, but actually doing very little fighting. Then all of a sudden they'll just one-shot the monster with their guns and its done.

And it comes from a modern point in Power Rangers chronology so there is actually character and story focus, unlike the sentai I am currently slogging through and battling not to just give up on. Quote:

I feel like the White Ranger of Dino Thunder was a huge missed opportunity. I haven't seen any of Abaranger, but from my understanding Abarekiller was evil for the majority of the show, which is why White Ranger did so little and the White Ranger Clone had to be introduced to occupy footage of AbareKiller and it sort of showed.
It would've been interesting to see a ranger that actually stayed evil the majority of the show. SPD afterwards showed us that sometimes rangers can be evil and I loved that, but they were only in 2 episodes, it'd been awesome to see an evil ranger that stuck around. |

Evil Rangers, in general, are such an underutilised and awesome concept. The Psycho Rangers may have kinda sucked, in reality, but their concept was just so fucking cool.
