[Switchblade]

That was... okay, I guess.

It's hard to make Gokaiger footage not look awesome, even when the Rangers won't shut the hell up for one goddamn second. The introduction of the powers may have been the most stupidly rushed thing I've ever seen, but the fights are still great.

I can't say the same for the writing, though. The dialogue is incredibly painful 90% of the time and the show seems terrified of the idea that the Rangers might not be quipping at any given point during a battle. The ending seems really odd, too - the planet is still facing a full-scale invasion from space, but you're going back to school? Less than 24 hours after a massive attack that destroyed multiple buildings and sent the population fleeing in panic? Da fuq?

But yeah, it's still Neo-Saban Power Rangers. There's some good, some bad, and a lot of wooden acting. I probably won't be watching any more of it until the big guest star episode.
