If next week sucks ass, I'm still gonna like these first twelve episodes.

Liking it is fine, I like it too. But the problem here isn't enjoyment, episode by episode, it's those who act like it's the second coming. And you can tell me I'm exaggerating or whatevs, but seriously read what some of the people have written in the threads, or the speculation threads BEFORE the first episode was even released.

Exactly, if I was only up to Meteor's introduction, I'd be calling this the best toku series ever made! I certainly wasn't saying that by the end.

I get what you mean, but Kamen Rider has taken breaks before, so the idea of it going on another hiatus is not in the same league as Super Sentai breaking its longstanding streak.

Calling ZO and J shit on top of that... you're playing with fire.

True that. If Sentai took a break now...that'd be something else. Although didn't sentai just chuck giant robots into the mix when their ratings flagged in the early days? It'd be pretty cool if they add some new staple of the future genre next, although I couldn't say what that might be.
