Another solid episode. This show isn't blowing my mind the way I want it to be, but it's been fun so far, and that counts for something.

The writing continues to impress me. I know everyone's big concern as soon as they heard the premise was how they were going to find the time for all the characters and I think they've been doing a fantastic job with that so far. The cast isn't the most fleshed out in history or anything, but I would argue with the exception of Spada, who's finally getting his long overdue focus episode next week anyway (and still has displayed some basic character traits), all of the Kyurangers are at least as well developed as a lot of five person Sentai teams by 7 episodes in, which isn't something to sneeze at in my opinion.

This episode once again made Lucky something of a side element, probably more so than any other episode to this point, but it also went one step further and made it just as much about Naga as it was about Balance. Considering they're probably the two strongest characters in the show, and even stronger put together, I'm happy to see them in the spotlight again too. Naga really shined pretty much the whole way through, and the ending with him forcing a smile was cute.

And also Ex-Aid was there. Yaaaaaay...

No but really, it was okay, despite adding nothing to the actual episode. I'm mostly just happy to see the Level 1 suit get some love for the first time in months, and hey, Lucky got to make a new pal, so good for him.

I'm pretty sure it's been like this since either ToQger or Kyoryuger. Definitely not the first time this has happened though.
