Cable dispute means I couldn't watch it online, and my phone is too outdated to support the Nick App, but I know another with a phone that can. The fact that we open with a brand-new battle in space isn't all that original, but it definitely looks fresh. Sledge and Co. feel more like true villains than the one-dimensional fools from Megaforce/Super Megaforce (save for Vekar and Vrak). You can see they put a nice little penny or two in the overall design and effort for the ship scenes. A bunch of monster suits being seen aboard cell blocks is an altogether different touch and supports the idea of Sledge as a bounty hunter. To be honest, Sledge's prison cells and Keeper make this feel like S.P.D. more than anything. He is clearly ruthless, but also easily manipulated by Poisandra. The banter and byplay between them can fool one into believing that Sledge is a pushover, but he isn't cuddly and he will blast anyone into oblivion if only to satisfy Poisandra. I do find his design a hard to reconcile with the others, but it may all depend where they decide to take Sledge in the future. I am growing on the Keeper design and feel like appearances deceive and he will be a significant mentor-character for PR. How exactly he can talk to dinosaurs is unknown, unless he does it like Maya from Lost Galaxy and speaks "from the heart". To hide the gems by bonding them to the spirits of dinosaurs is an interesting idea and the fact that Sledge's asteroids are the cause of extinction is just attention to detail, but also raises an interesting PR continuity question: Where did the Dino Gems from Dino Thunder come from again? Jump ahead to modern times and we see a cast of characters who are more than capable of having worthwhile scenes where they actually do something as humans and make it tolerable. Shelby is already showing immense potential and could easily be a fan-favorite Pink Ranger as time passes. The Tyler character also has possibilities, but I think they need to liven things up on his side. Showing the new footage of the monster outlaw Iceage interacting with PEOPLE is always a nice touch and the humor with Tyler and Shelby trying to defend themselves makes it more human and more believable. The shovel defense was unquestionably unique, and the burning scrap that remained was more realistic than one would think. To accidentally shoot a monster with a morpher that some said might not survive in PR is just delicious irony. I does give one pause though as we don't fully know where it came from and why? Of course, our characters know even less and have to go with the flow and morph without realizing it. The short but sweet battle which ended with Iceage getting mouth-tossed by a T. Rex Zord is a triumph in Zord/Monster relations even if it isn't fully explained yet. Overall, it is a great leap ahead from what preceded it and can easily inspire confidence in what is to come. I do wish they would take more time to make the villains and monsters more unique when it came to their voices, but if that is one of the few nitpicks of note, then we definitely have something here.
