Gemma. Gia+Emma 4life.

Aaaaand back on topic :lol I hope the rest of the series is like this episode. It proves they can make a good one if they try.

:lol

Casey+Tiger.

I'm slowly gaining interest in this show. If this happens again, I'll start watching.

What's her actress up to these days?

Y'know...stuff...

I didn't like Gem and Gemma.

It was just the whole "BOOM BLOW THINGS UP LETS MAKE EXPLOSIONS!" Thing that got old.

My composed thoughts. As always I accept the hatred I receive from those who enjoyed it more.

Overall, this is the best episode of the entire series. Easily the best written and executed since this debacle started. Some points I want to make:

-The ship crash was a very nice touch. And essentially reversing the team dynamic by making Orion the alien while the others were earthlings, whereas in Gokaiger Gai was the Earthling and the other 5 were aliens, was also nice. I didn't expect Orion's intro to be so intelligently handled in all honesty.

-The original footage this time was excellently shot. I remember seeing the behind the scenes from this episode last year and thinking the Lost Galaxy suits made no sense. Honestly I'm still unsure why that set of suits was used. What dictated their usage over others? It looked nice though. But why is this suddenly the one Legendary Mode that isn't "too taxing" to use for an extended period?

-Surprisingly impressed by the editing of the Gokai Silver footage too. They've made it match up with Orion's much more serious tone as a character. Admittedly I still love Gai's goofball happy go luckyness more, but the footage has been properly edited for Orion's character to match, unlike all the rest of the rangers for the last season and a half. And while we're on it, good lord even with ALL of that original footage they can't be bothered to edit out the damn Zyusoken/Dragon Dagger from the source footage. I have lots of praise to give about the improved footage and new footage but that just seems silly to me to leave something like that in. And I know a lot of people probably won't notice or care, just like they didn't notice or care about the Turboranger footage a few weeks ago, but I still think it should be pointed out.

-The only other complaint I might have is the standard one I have with Power Rangers these days. Terrible ADR. But that's all.

Unfortunately this episode, while an IMMENSE improvement over the train wreck we've had up til now, is completely at odds with the rest of the show quality wise. It's about damn time the writing got up to snuff, but this episode makes it feel like the episodes that came before it are from an entirely different show. I appreciate them finally getting things in gear but I really wish the show had been of this quality earlier on. Or even during the first season. It could have greatly benefited from the improved writing.

So yes, all in all a great new episode, vast improvement etc etc. Just makes what's come before it look even more terrible by comparison :lol

I can't hate that. Watching Jake try and be Doc is giving me an ulcer that might one day kill me dead.

If it's gay, leave it to me.

Thread Win.

Which is why I don't get why you refuse to watch Free! :lol

:lol

Implied homoeroticism isn't enough homoeroticism for me!

:lol Fine, fair enough.

I'm gonna be that guy.

There's no denying it, that was a much better episode then what has come before, but I think that's more due to the quality of the episodes beforehand. This episode definitely had its problems. The dialogue is relentless from beginning to end, Troy's speech had me gagging and Vekar is just too much, Warz Gill is comedic, whiney, arrogant, self-absorbed and an ineffectual leader, but he doesn't constantly tell people they can't be taller then him, which isn't even slightly funny plus the ADR is still pretty awful and the editing is still standard SMF stuff, the awkward shifting between two fight scenes in the first battle sucked. I'm surprised people are praising how dark the turn of SMF is, because I really don't find anything that happened to even slightly imply a dark tone incoming, even with the exposition of Silver's origins during his fights. I think people expecting Silver to keep up this revenge thing and for it not to be downplayed next episode are in for a big disappointment. The plot itself was a little forced too. Why the heck didn't the Silver Ranger reveal himself the first time he helped them, when he just went ahead to reveal himself the second time, which was the exact same situation as the first, rather then to just kill 20 minutes?

STILL, I enjoyed the new footage (except the Goseiger filler) and I liked that there was an actual plot coming along so I think it is definitely a leap in the right direction and trounces everything before it.

But for all the people saying the Pirate motif is negligible and there doesn't need to be an explanation because the only obvious thing is the Megazord, what's up with the Gokaiger role-call they kept in, with the giant flapping Pirate Flag throughout? That seems indisputably blatant.

Silver noticeable has a a Zangyack/Armada ship, probably so they can use the footage of the Free Joker ramming the Gigant Horse from the Gokaiger finale (Although the Free Joker is a modified Zangyack ship, this is SMF).

Someone say gay and get in gear....? JK LOL.

or just show up in the goseiger suits and morph into gokaiger and be done with it, that was boring as heck with the full morph and useless fighting, why is it everytime they hear an attack, they dont show up the goseisuits? i mean you have people around you, seeing you fighting them, it's obvious you are giving away your identity.

The fact that in all the Goseiger suits and the tacked on scenes with them they never use any of their Goseiger/Megaforce Powers really bothers me and highlights just how much they shouldn't be there. Surely someone who doesn't even know about Goseiger and Gokaiger would be bothered by the fact that you had a whole season of them getting new powers and abilities that they no long ever use, even when still using the Megaforce forms? I know I would be. Its just crappy. The entirety of Super Megaforce is a train-wreck, even in better episodes like this. Maybe this will change if my theory that 2-3 of the missing 4 episodes from the summary are the Brajira and Dark Gosei Knight footage is correct, but right now the Goseiger suits are just one big Question Mark to everyone.

Well it's official. Doesn't look like I'm going to be watching this (or toqger) any time soon. I know I shouldn't complain that there's been a crack down, but whatever.

It'll be on Instant Video in a year or so. That'll have to do.

There's a mystery silver ranger and not ONE of you even consider the possibility its Robo Knight? Urgh, can this show think of its own continuity just once please?

That aside, I have to agree that it was a pretty great episode. I've very interested in how Saban are going to pass off excitable fanboy footage as an alien bent on revenge, but as far as this episode went they seemed to have a pretty good grip on it. Troy's speech in the classroom was a little cringeworthy, but that was almost EXACTLY the kind of speech I'd expect MMPR through In Space pull off so I guess it was nothing really new.

Kinda impressed they kept the whole "spear impales monster" shot in, especially since bullets are a no no. Wasn't a gun barrel edited out in an episode of Samurai too?

"If there was another Ranger, wouldn't Gosei have told us?"

When has Gosei EVER told you guys important stuff like that? I mean he kept Robo Knight a secret from you. :lol

lolololol The trolling is so hard. But, the anti-brony in me? Makes me happy.

I checked this one out to satisfy my morbid curiosity. How will they introduce Gokai Silver?

And wow. Not doing that again. Of the three full episodes of Super Megaforce I've watched, this might be the worst? I'm not sure I've ever seen so incompetently written a half hour of television.

No joke, every line of dialogue was exposition. That is not hyperbole. I've read Lego instruction manuals that had more drama in them than this episode. Dora the Explorer has more nuance than this show (at least there, a kid learns a few Spanish words).

And these poor actors. I've decided that they're not even that bad. I think a lot of people are mistakenly blaming them for the shittiness of this show. The blame lies squarely on the piss poor writing. If Robert DeNiro performed this script, people would think he was terrible too.

This was just... it was an abortion.

so fare your the only one i read in the thread that hated it where moste people who hated most of the episode so fare even like this episode.

:lol

Even I liked this episode :lol

Oh god....

I didn't really like the episode

i know man so fare every one liked this episode.

Still better than Operation Overdrive :lol

That should be updated to "still better than Megaforce" :lol

Not so sure about that :p

I just want to say something about Orion. Every single shot with his face hidden made him look so damn badass you know? Like some sort of awesome hobo-clothed ninja. But then he removes his helmet and what do you know pulls that goofy look. Suddenly he looks so childish, baby faced and... well yeah, stoned.

So, so weird. Not at all what I was expecting from all that build up.

Other than that the writing was particularly awful in this episode. Noah's episode, for all its problems, was considerably more focused. It told an alright, if rather flat and cliche story. But it held together.

This episode... well it didn't so much tell a story as drop the exposition bomb to badly link together random fight scenes.

It's saving grace is how good the source footage of GokaiSilver's first fight is, but as that's pretty much all it has going for it, that's a shame...

I just wish Orion would wash his hair. Did they not have soap on his planet? He looks like he probably smells.

I expect so much more from you, Locke! :lol ;)

Might it be fair to suggest those who like this episode are so desperate for quality Super Megaforce that merely not offending becomes a reason for praise?

I've seen 3 episodes, and this was, IMO, the worst. Maybe the 4 I haven't watched are somehow even more terrible than this one. It's a distinct possibility. :lol

I didn't.

Well, I didn't HATE it, but I think the fact that every episode before this one was so bad this one is being mistaken as good when in reality it was pretty darn average. The episode was still 50% filler.

It was better then at least Episodes 2-6 but that's not exactly a huge feat.

Oh wow I just realised I posted this in the wrong thread.
