On the topic of SPD, my opinion of the Lovefilm Stream service has improved dramatically. The way the streaming works is it jumps between standard, 720 and 1080 automatically depending on how well your internet is doing at the time. It's nothing special but now I am home it's HD more often than it is SD and makes the viewing experience more pleasurable. That aside Recognition was a pretty great episode. It was a clever episode that relied on actual acting! And I think it's really warmed me to Sky again.

To be fair to the whole series, even during bad episodes, it does seem a lot of money was put into SPD much like it seemed with Jungle Fury and much more money than you saw put into a lot of the Saban stuff. Funny though that Kalish's tenure is so hated with all the effort that seems to go into his seasons.

That said, is it possible that relying little on the sentai could be a bad thing? So much new footage has been recorded for SPD whenever it jumps to the sentai it's really jarring as locations completely change and the quality of the film drops dramatically. You don't notice as much when it's regularly swapping but unless it's really, really clever editing there seems to have been little Dekaranger footage used at all yet. And every time it is it's a slap in the chops.

The following episode, 'Samurai' however was as uninspired as it was dumb.
