I can't even write off his attitude as grief, considering EVERYONE in the team are douchebags and there is no way they whole family would react to grief in the same way, unless writers get a kick out of making heroes horrible people.

At least he saved the kid, that makes a nice change, I suppose.

Sentai does this sometimes. The Kakurangers were all total assholes, too. I'm not sure what the idea is behind it, but I'm not a fan (unless they're really fun assholes, like the Kakurangers).

But yeah, I also just watched Episode 6

I liked this one. The action was really good and engaging and we didn't spend too much time getting bogged down with character drama (I realized why I thought Kai was so short - it's because his default expression is "pouting toddler"). Koragg was always my favorite part of Mystic Force (even above Vida) and I'm liking Wolzard here, too. His first transformation into Wolkaiser would have been a lot more menacing if it hadn't been cut together with footage of Mandora Boy hopping around like the horny wolf in old Tex Avery cartoons, though. Two steps forward, one step back, Magiranger.

I'm still liking Nai, but I want to duct tape Mare's mouth shut. Please tell me she's not going to spend the entire damn series parroting Nai.

Nai.

But yeah, I'm still kind of enjoying the show. It will never be my favorite Sentai or anything, but it's a reasonably harmless and reasonably entertaining way to kill ~20 minutes. I'll be back here next week for 7-9.
