Or we could say, that I just don't' particularly dig this rider yet, because he isn't doing much to invoke the chills or thrills of other riders.

;D Though, I said nothing about Gaim darling.

Well considering Gaim is the only season between Drive and Wizard, yeah you kinda did.

Completely the opposite. However, if there is one thing I will give Toei for it is that none of the Heisei Rider series outside of Decade have been utter crap. The series that I am not a fan of (Den-O) aren't bad because they are poorly written, but just because I am not a fan of either the theme or the gimmick. I wish I could say the same for Sentai, but I can not as Sentai seems like it gets passed on to the dregs of Toei's back lot based on who is left not working on a Rider series.

But at the same time, I wouldn't blame anyone for ditching a show if they couldn't get into those six episodes.

Six episodes, that's six weeks, three hours of content. That's a lot of time spent on something you don't like. When I hear someone tell someone else to "give it time" all I can think is that they're basically equating the episodes so far to wasted time. If you're not supposed to judge the first six or so episodes, what purpose do they serve?

I will agree there. I ditched ToQGer after 5 because I found it to be utter crap. I have spent enough time watching an entire Sentai series (Go-Buster, for example) in hopes that it is going to get good and then by the end have regretted it.

And that is exactly where i'm standing at this point.

Perhaps, I had exaggerated a bit by exclaiming that Drive was, "the most useless rider since Wizard.", in my perspective and defense what I had meant is that from my viewing perspective this rider is joining the gallery of Riders I don't particularly care for.

In order, the Riders themselves I don't care for would be Ryuki, Decade, Wizard and now a growing disinterest, and dislike for Drive.

What I had meant by that judgement is that Wizard was the last terrible rider, in my opinion in a chronological stand-point of Kamen Riders I just have not cared for.

Regardless though? Despite my poor alliteration, I would appreciate it if words where not put into my mouth, it is a personal pet peeve of mine regardless of how innocent it is and can be.

I stand strongly on that, especially now with other users on this forum taking up verbal arms in regards to comparing Gaim and Drive. I went in with an open mind to watch Drive, and do dig some of the things the show does. But, the show is just not for me from a viewing perspective, not a comparative perspective.
