What makes Lauren significant outside of being the first proper female Red? Wes is the best for being an actually interesting character with a good plot-line and chemistry with his team.

I hated how they handled the female Red plotline. In Shinkenger, it was an actual point of drama, she had a good reason to take over and there was a real reason for Takeru to feel like his life was meaningless because of Kaoru's arrival. In Samurai, the whole things was a joke. There was no reason for Jayden to leave, let alone for his team to act like jerks about it and Jayden just came off as big sook that was just doing things because he was a drama whore, hell, he even left voluntarily, Lauren asked him to stay! It was so stupid. You can't take out the reason why everything is happening but then make the characters act like it was there.
