Thing is, I kind of agree with both of you. I really liked W all the way through, but the first ten episodes are a STARK contrast to the series overall. Not so much in tone, but just in quality. The of-the-week stories are way better compared to early on. I liked the first ten episodes, but comparring them to later on I don't find them as good. But even the best shows can have wonky starts. Barring few examples, Batman TAS didn't get really good until about Two-Face. (remember how the famously dark and edgy Batman show that revolutionaized cartoons had a daffy Adam West-style Christmas romp as it's second episode?)

My theory on Rider series is that the first ten or so episodes, while important narratively, are deffinitely more... kid focused. That's when they're usually pushing product, so there's lots of CGI fights, gimmicks and shit happening to establish what's on shelves. Like Revolgarry gets out of the house WAY more often in the early episodes. And the Hardsplasher, boy that's a vital piece of equipement. I think the Movie War was it's last apperance come to think of it. And look at the Den Liner in Den-O. Imagin go out of control way more often when there's new trains coming out, as it happens.
