I think this is a good mentor move and I respect how he pretends like he's not there, like a shadow I guess you could say, as he waits for them to reach the conclusion on their own. After all, he's not the leader, Jack is, so he doesn't want to intervene unless necessary.

Sure, but on the other hand, it being an average criminal would help sell the idea that the team is slacking on their input.

SPD can easily explain this with Morphin' Grid universal dimension-bending properties, which is convenient since SPD-Doggie's nose is a lot longer than Deka-Doggie's.

Indeed. And it's why I never understood the complaints later seasons got about a given human actor not being the same height as a suit actor. Guess we all already forgot about Cruger here as well as Justin from Turbo, huh?

Any episode that carefully deals with prejudice is a good thing to have. It's the kind of thing that kids should learn early. Honestly, if RIC gets a pass, then so should Sophie, but of course the contradiction is the whole point, as bigotry doesn't make sense anyway. That's why people need to think about their ideals to determine if they're outdated and need to change.

Absolutely agree. I think the writers did a good job with this one wherein the general idea is upfront enough for kids, yet subtle enough for adults to pick up on real world parallels.

Oh and Delta Command Megazord is cool! Sucks for anybody inside who has to suddenly move though.

Makes me wonder if that got added to the contract at some point. "Must be willing to have room shift around at a moment's' notice." Haha.
