[Locke]

Best episode so far.

From the shows ability to capture moral grey, to truly human feeling characters and reactions, to Kouta having to actually work out his new powers and not being able to just immediately use them. This episode was wonderful.

Best of all though, as is rare for this show, the action actually lived up to the plot. Watching W alongside this, really highlights how far tokusatsu effects have come in such a short time. The Landspeeder stuff this episode was EPIC. I don't really want AC Gridon but I really want the bike.

This week had the first Invess with a genuinely good design. In another show, with a suit like that, he could have been a General. He fought like one too.

I often find Gaim's fights feel clunky and unpolished by the cinematography and direction was so stylish this episode, the action flowed so much better. It was like we were right there in the fighting, without feeling like found footage garbage, since we could still see what was going on.

SO many questions with the Lemon transformation though and that doesn't mean the form was any less epic! If the Invess can just smash the faceplates off the Drivers, does that mean all that stuff about being locked to a single person is a lie? And whoa with the lockseed comboing and the whole 'Mix' business. Gaim is an Energy Rider unlike anyone else yet.
