I can't......dang it....

I really wanted to mega dislike this new series. But I just can't.

The entire setup of the series works so much better than Megaforced.

Making Shelby the initial focus was a great idea. Keeper, and even Fury aren't bad characters, even though Torin will be missed. Master Sledge I'm sure will look like something else by the time we're done.

My only gripe are the voice actor for Poisandra. Candelira's voice was so...amazing. It's hard to put that into comparison.

Still, this might be the first Ranger series I care about watching weekly since RPM. When even the theme song doesn't bug me I know it's going to be better than Megaforced.


Pros:
Like the background similarities between Tyler and Daigo
Shelby focused background works well
Little KyuRyuger footage, more original content. Probably won't last, but definitely welcome
Small Jungle Fury in joke for nostalgia
Good dialogue, non-wooden actors, good timing on the story points
Some of the generals are still in the series.
Good foreshadowing for everything else in the series.
Amber Beach is about as good a generic town name as Angel Grove. I can dig it. With a shovel. And a bucket.
Kendall aka DC Purple is my kinda hotness.

Cons:
Shelby is the worst waitress ever. Ernie would have fired her. Adele would have set her straight.
The Keeper is what happens when you let Pikachu near ET. Bad Pikachu!
So what, Sledge is like Boba Fett, but whipped? And why collect a bunch of asteroids and bounties and not drop them off to get paid? Isn't that a bad idea? And I'm going to permanently call him Sledgy.
I miss Nossan's puns.
