[Switchblade]

Okay, so with episode 2 airing I decided to see if I could find the first episode on Hulu.

I could not.

But I did find a mid-quality illegal upload on a popular video streaming site, so I guess I do have a workaround if Viacom is going to continue to be a giant bag of dicks (which they are, because they're Viacom).

It was... I'm not sure how to describe it. It's a modern Power Rangers series, but it didn't make me want to pour bleach in my ear in the hopes that it would scrub my brain clean. Is there a word that means the opposite of "bad," because I think this show is actually un-terrible.

The plot isn't just the first episode of Kyoryuger with "all-powerful perfect messiah who is benevolent enough to grace we foul mortals with his majestic presence" crossed out and "Tyler" written in. The majority of the actors seem to actually be decent at their jobs, with Tyler in particular having both a knowledge of and ability to use emotions. The villains, despite having the same costumes, aren't intolerable (and with Sledge around, they even have something to make them look good in comparison to). The CGI was... better than Birdemic. Mostly. I think... I think this show might have potential.

I mean, I'm sure Saban and Nickelodeon will find some way to totally fuck it up in the end, but I actually want to see more instead of returning to ignoring the franchise for another year.
