Now-a-days, Saban knows ahead of time how a story is ending in the Sentai counterpart, (well, more so since they're now TWO YEARS behind, soon to be THREE YEARS behind), they can write an entire season to match the footage.

But back during the days of In Space, where they thought the series was a space series (but it wasn't obviously), they wrote a story and tried to match footage to what they wanted the story to be.

Example: In Gokaiger, you have a story of Gokai Blue being overwhelmed by an opponent in swordsmanship, so much that it was actually an entire arch in the story, and had a pretty nice payoff at the end.

In Super Megaforce, we're getting ONE episode dedicated to a character who is supposed to be nerdy, but because he's the Blue Ranger, is going to have the same story line super-condensed about feeling like his swordsmanship isn't strong enough to be a Power Ranger (well no duh, you're a NERD WHO USED A BOW IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON).

Because of that you get stories that feel forced, or you get what you feel is a lack of characterization. Noah is supposed to be the new Billy. He's in-shape, but he's supposed to use his mind more than his brawn. However we're now destroying his characterization by forcing a Sentai story line on him that doesn't fit the character we've been TOLD (not shown) that he is.

*claps* I hate how they use the excuse of being a Power Ranger or having new powers now all of a sudden they're experts in whatever new skill they have now :P
