The mall scenes showed chemistry between our Rangers of the likes never seen before (in this show I mean) it almost made the acting seem good. Orion is certainly, without question, a good actor and I have to say that I loved his gloriously tacky 80s jacket, where can I get myself one of those?!

Honestly I'm really enjoying his character in general, they've taken him in a drastically different direction from Gai and ironically he's the only one of the Megaforce Rangers with a backstory, despite them having like twenty five episodes over him.

Maybe I'm being too kind just because I'm so happy for any shade of creativity but likewise shitting on everything the show does, even on episodes like this where it's clearly trying, doesn't seem to be the right way to go about this show either.

Leaving in Dairanger suits and being mad about that, is not being overcritical but lots of people here are getting answers to their questions, complaining the answers aren't good enough and decrying the entire episode because it doesn't satisfy their own personal expectations. THAT is being overcritical of a show. I'm not gonna say this is some well written, well thought out piece of Shakespearean literature or something because no, that'd be ridiculous but I do think this episode deserves more praise than it's gotten.

These last two episodes have marked a massive improvement for the show - and Neo-Saban in general - and if everything up 'til now was Saban finding its feet, and from now one we get more and more episodes like this then I almost feel okay with forgiving them for the last three and half seasons of shit.
