I'm up to episode 20 of RPM. Still pretty good. It's been fun, barring that one horribly sexist line in episode 16 that just...??? I mean, whatever. I'm trying to get it to stop bothering me but it just blindsided me. I'm working through it.

The premise for episode 20 felt pretty contrived, anyway. The rangers kill monsters and save the city all the damn time, bringing medals into it at this point is...weird. Really goddamn weird. I mean yeah, Gem did beat that one monster solo, and that is impressive, but it still feels so random.

Likewise, Scott acts like a real blockhead in this episode all around, it's also kind of weird. Doesn't feel like him, though then again he did acknowledge he was being stupid so eh.

At least this episode gave Gem some good moments. Up to this point the twins have just felt too quirky and out there to really register as true characters, so seeing a more human side to Gem was nice. Hopefully Gemma gets something too. Hyperactive explosives enthusiasts isn't the most exciting characterization out there.
