More Megaranger!

Status quo shift has been achieved with the new villain commander, Gir...Girel? Guiral? Damn, I just finished watching it and I already forgot his name
Oh well. If In Space was any indicator, he lasts for a good while, so I'll have time to learn it

And what a complete bastard he is, using children as human shields. It's crazy, and sends Mega Red into a BSoD. It was a really good story, and seeing Kenta learn to overcome it was great.
However, the biggest downfall was that it did it all in one episode. It really should have taken 2 episodes for this. It would've made the character arc a lot stronger so it would be literally resolved in a day. Kenta says he's too afraid to fight, but we never see it. He sulks about his mistake for, like, 7 minutes, and it's resolved before the first commercial eyecatch. It's way too rushed.

That aside, it's great. Red got the Battle Riser (Though, if I recall, the Battlizer's armor was American only. Darn...), and was actually interesting to watch since he wasn't being a complete moron for once. Also, seeing a Red ranger who makes mistakes and has those mistakes actually affect him is rather refreshing after coming off of Marvelous and Daigo.
Up next, a new mecha! The Delta Mega!

By the by, my years of watching Power Rangers has made it hard to not call the mecha "Zords" and "Megazords." I have to make a conscious effort to type "Mecha" or else I'd be using PR terminology
