If SPD has more episodes like 'Idol' it could well be my new favourite series.

The storytelling was fairly rushed because it only had twenty two minutes and it filled in a lot of the blanks with clichés but it told a very grown up story that wasn't hampered too heavily by the usual assumption in children's broadcasting that all children are morons.

It actually felt really out of place with how heavy handed and heavily censored the storytelling has been up until this point. What a great episode.

What is with SPD's anti capitalism messages? Practically every episode associates money with evil, which you know is pretty ironic when you think of what goes on behind the scenes with Power Rangers even during the Disney era. It also seems like a message that would really go over children's heads, personally money was only a means to get toys as a child and I never really realised all the ramifications and importance of money until the last few years when I've been looking after myself.

At least episode ten explains to some degree why Jack is such an asshole and the team have some nice chemistry. Are Syd and Jack gonna bumpuggle it?

Although the sentai blending that episode was absolutely dire.

"Enough posing! Let's fight!"

Also wow, Doggie's backstory sure was dark.
