This is probably an old question, but I see need to ask: Did any of the "powers-that-be" ever DIRECTLY comment on the changes between S.P.D. and Dekaranger, specifically the "card containment" concept? Obviously, a Cop team can't execute criminals on an American kids show AND Disney was always trying to get around the violence argument, but has there ever been another reason given by the writers and/or producers?
Because, seriously, cops should not double as executioners, I don't care who or what's supposed to be in that little box, that is not a system that makes me comfortable. Grumm... he's one of those villains who is boring, but effective. He comes off as a real threat ala Xanatos always benefiting no matter what happens, but personality-wise... he's just dull, and his motivation is... I'm not even sure what it IS, and I've seen that ending at least twice. |

SPD is a decent Power Rangers show.
Dekaranger isn't a very good Sentai show. So they both kind of suck, in the end.

Honestly, I think that the cards were a better idea all-around.

Apparently, the 10 Years After Special gave a little extra to go on in terms of Dekaranger "Death Penalty", which would still be realistically controversial, but things don't occur in a few seconds as they were made to appear in the show: http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/DekaBase |

But then there's the whole... "The Magnficence/Omni" thing... which is still a weird thing I have trouble understanding. Like... what is it? Why does the creepy skull man serve the brain in a jar?
It sticks out in a show I otherwise like as a very weird element that never really sat well with me. |

Either Omni is a type of entity that naturally has no body, or he lost his original one during some off-screen events and needed a new one, which implies that Omni is the type of creature who could easily "come back" and act using his original body! Saban simply has to get the memo...and give the Disney Era its due! |
