It was also less of a subplot and more of a developing factor for Spada, which is why I loved the episode. Raptor was the main focus, but we get more of an insight into Spada being described as the parent of the team. He was, essentially, playing both the monster who stole dreams and the parents that were fine with that at the same time. This is the sort of approach this show needs to take going forward if it's going to have such a large cast. Find ways to make the monster's plan relevant to the focus of the episode but also find ways to get other characters involved. |

Seriously, the Kyulette ? worst character segregation excuse ever. Always follow your dream, except when the Kyulette says to stay on the ship ! But it may not be so random as it looks...
The character focus was well done this time, but I'm disappointed the "space adventure" just last for 3 episodes (still better than Juspion !)

Best episode up to this point in my opinion. They wrote around the fact that having all 9 rangers in one episode would be too many. It was dumb, but really who cares? I bought it in the context of the show. Raptor's story was very well handled; and I think now that the issue of too many cooks is out of the way, this could lead to a very interesting show. We could have a different combination of rangers every week, and as time went on we could see how certain characters play off of others. If done well, this could be a very interesting dynamic.
One more thing, Lucky seriously needs to dial it back a bit with the "YOSSHA LUCKY!" It is very annoying. |

ok, the Kulette...for budget reasons...I can accept this...
while I am sad they are stuck on Earth, this episode had what the others were missing: Proper pacing first of all. We actually got a bit of development on Raptor. And no LUCKY!!! every 5 minutes... I LOVED her ranger debut! The fact she is a gunster is pretty cool, and doing the snipe shot was pretty nice. Having the base become "the back up plan" and be the giant monster. It was that little bit that the last episode was missing... The Mecha...oh dear lord. I must be strong in not buying the toys. I love it, I love the limb change gimmick so bad...and the final attacks just get better and better. Is this show perfect? Nope, but this episode was just above the last by far! |

On the one hand, I really like the premise: a small band of resistance fighters traveling around the galaxy, battling an evil empire. I think there's a lot of cool potential here, assuming they don't just land on Earth at some point and stay there the rest of the show.
Well that didn't fucking take long. At least there's some potential in an Earth that's already been conquered where the Kyurangers are insurgent freedom fighters instead of defending against a long parade of ineffective invaders. With the entire world conquered and dozens of generals, that also means that the battle to free Earth should extend to a wide range of the same stock locations from Tokyo. Don't get me wrong; I actually thought this was the best episode to date. The characters are starting to gel and develop personalities. Raptor actually got all of the focus this week without Lucky upstaging her at any point. I also finally remember Spada's name - he's a dick. The peach can joke did manage to get a chuckle out of me, which is far more than I can say for the weird away team selection dance. I'm not thrilled with the premise shift, but I enjoyed this enough to stick around for at least a couple more weeks. |

There was actually another space show, Juspion, a Metal Hero, that did planet hopping for its first four episodes before settling on Earth for the rest of the show. It sorta works there, but I'm not super thrilled about it here. Earth being some hidden gem out in the middle of nowhere kinda bugs me - you have an entire universe you can use instead. I'd be fine if maybe the final arc was related to Earth, but I think it's way too early to ground them. Given how many generals are here, I can easily see the show on earth until at least the 30s when the team gets its final robot. I'm not super thrilled about that. I mean, yeah, Kyuranger is a great show right now and can easily continue to be, but I think it'll be something that's gonna bug me for years if we never head back to space. |

Holy shit do I love Raptor.
Really enjoyed this episode. Mostly because of best character Raptor, but other people had their moments. Switching focus to Earth is an unfortunate if predictable development. I'm not at all happy about it, but I won't let it detract from what I otherwise felt was a really strong episode. |
