[Grimlockimus]

Not a big Power Rangers fan since I almost always prefer the Sentai but since Kyoryuger was my favorite Sentai to date I gave the first two episodes of Dino Charge a try today....and I'm actually pretty impressed with the adaptation so far.

~Positives~

-Characters actually seem interesting so far, and the acting isn't half bad!
-Keeping the missing father story line.
-Sledge. I actually like him more than the Chaos as the introductory big bad.
-The idea of using Sledge's collected bounties as the mosters of the week is a great idea, really loving it and being able to pick out monsters I remember from Kyoryuger.
-Rexy. I was hoping they'd keep the bond Daigo and Gabutyra had in Kyoryuger and they're making that apparent early on.
-Keeping the Black Ranger as the lady's man sharpshooter.
-Obvious Violet Ranger is obvious
-Keeper not being as annoying as I thought he'd be....

~Negatives~

-But Keeper is still no Torin. At least not yet.
-Fury taken out by a branch? Yeeeeeeeah
-That's a pretty silly entrance to your secret base. I mean what if some kids play in there and accidentally find your lab?
-As mentioned by others. What have Sledge and Keeper been doing all this time?

And lastly this is a nit pick but this bugged me a little bit. Why did they have the three new recruits be the red, pink and green rangers? It would've made a lot more sense if red, pink and blue were the new rangers while green and black, two weapon specialists, were pre-existing rangers before they showed up. Plus it would give the writers the perfect set up to explain why the Megazord only uses the T-rex, Triceratops and Stegosaurus zords to begin with. Red, Blue and Pink know each other more and their ener-gems are more in sync, so their zords can combine initially, and as the team connects over time the other ener-gems sync up and they can use the other zords. Again it's a nit pick but it's a distracting one for me at least.
