Power Rangers Dino Charge Episode 13: Sync or Swim

I already made a detailed post about what makes this episode so good in the general Power Rangers thread, so I'll try and make this brief.

This episode is pretty notable for a few reasons, such as the genuinely funny humor, the surprisingly sensible plot from the villains, and the inventive Megazord action. But the biggest thing that stood out to me was the development of Tyler's' character.

See, before this episode I saw him as very much just a standard heroic Red Ranger, but this episode introduced a new element to him that, while certainly easily to poke fun at, actually adds another dimension to him that I really appreciated. Given his backstory, he absolutely should have self-esteem and abandonment issues, and those are in full swing this episode.

It made for some really good interplay with Ivan, and even if the solution is a bit quick and the the problem is very one-sided, it still made for a nice change of pace in terms of Tyler and was a piece of a very enjoyable episode overall, and as such I come out liking it way more than weighing down on it.

Up next: Niko and I discuss Kamen Rider Hibiki. Don't worry, he's well trained!
