It's not really the actors faults,its the footage.If these were two seperate series,it would work perfectly.

I could seriously start a drinking game with how many times they mentioned how "These new powers rock!".Ok,we get it.We can all see that they're really cool.

I do appreciate the fact they called the sword attack Final Slash,even had the same harmony almost as "Final Wave!"

Other then that,it only had the same problems I've always had with recent ranger series.The talking during the fighting and the sound effects.

If they just cut back on the talking,and actually made the sound effects actually sound like the objects instead of just lasers all the time,I'd be fine with it.

My thoughts exactly. I thought to my self "They are talking way too much during these fights." I don't remember other seasons doing that as much (Then again the only one I watched in recent years was Dino Thunder). I like the concept of their suits being linked to the statues in the base, and that's how they get the keys. It's a neat concept. I feel that there was too much fighting and not enough character interaction. We got like, 3 minutes of that, and the pacing was WAAAAAY too fast.I feel like if it were a two parter it would've immensely helped the pacing. It's really interesting, as this is the first PR season I've watched after the Sentai, so seeing Barizorg's (or whatever his name is PRSM is) actions not entirely match up with his dialogue was a bit jarring. The morph sequence looks cheaper to me than Gokaiger's as well. Though, they did use their individual zords separately, which I don't ever remember them doing in Gokaiger, so props to them for doing that. I did like the joke of "Am I the only one who notices my key is the wrong color?" "Jake, there's a simple explanation for that-" I really liked Gosei's straightforward, serious delivery of that line. Also, why does Insarn talk like the Mandarin from Iron Man 3? (They'lllll neveerrrrr expect cherry blossoommmss.)

-ADR voice overs were horrible for pretty much anyone. Villains had no connection at all with their suits. Rangers had terribly bland, out of context, and emotionally detached dialogue in basically any morphed shots

- The explaining of why they switch to legendary forms in and out so much was weak. Too much strain? How about we can just change whenever we want like they did in the source footage?

- The lack team call outs or even theme music by the morphers is a travesity of missed marketing opportunity for the Legendary Morphs

- The sound effects are just so damn generic that you lose any appreciation for the ranger devices

- And the breakneck speed of this episode, being that it's spliced together from two episodes of Gokaiger plus some new footage, is just bad. You get almost no connection with anything that's happening because of the crazy turns the episode keeps taking. The defeat of the two commanders goes by so quickly you could blink and miss it.

I haven't been a Power Rangers fan for a long time and that was when they were simply imports of single shows. This doubling up of 2 series together makes them almost unwatchable. My opinion may normally be biased away from Power Rangers, but this show has some glaring issues. I begrudge no one who enjoyed this show but I had to express my opinion just as anyone who liked it can express theirs.

I will say the "why green instead of black" moment was pretty funny. A great way to explain things is to never talk about them after all. Anyways, I welcome the hate I am about to receive for my opinion of this episode

You won't get any from me, I agree.

Ooh! Ok Sentai Tamashii needs to come in and be the tiebreaker (or you two can engage in fisticuffs in the next podcast episode)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
