Another pretty good episode. Two good episodes in a row have me feeling a lot better about MegaForce after a slow start.

One thing I noticed in this episode is that after staring in one of his own, Noah was practically non-existent in this one. That's one thing they could improve on, just balancing out the prominence of the characters. I know it's normal to have episodes focus on one or two characters specifically, but so far Jake and Gia seem to steal the show every time, while Troy and Emma are hardly heard from at all, and Noah goes from being the main character in one episode to invisible in the next. I've been leery of these characters for a while, and think they need some major development, and it's hard to see that happening the way it should when they bounce from one character to the next and leave the others in the dust in the process.

I also have to admit that MegaForce seems a lot less kidsy than other Power Rangers seasons. Jake's flirting with Gia in every episode seems to border on PG13 territory. And Gia took a pretty mean jab at Jake while they were commenting on the fake red ranger at Enrie's. Troy seemed a little bit intimidating when confronting the fake-red, and I possibly sent the same message to all the kids out there that you can't be a hero without super powers. Not that I'm complaining, I think it's refreshing, but it just seems like a big departure from the usual Power Rangers, and surprising after the a first episode that seemed like 30 minute toy showcase.

I guess if nothing else, MegaForce is getting a bit more interesting.
