I think Linkara hit the nail on the head for this series.

The overall series felt lazy. Incredibly lazy. Though, he gushed over how Jason Smith was so great in his tribute episode because he wrote it - he forgot to mention that Jason Smith also wrote a majority of the "New Powers!" episodes, whether he was told to or did it on his own, who knows, but his being a fan of Super Sentai would lead one to assume that it may have been Jason who talked Tzachor in to it instead of Tzachor wanting to include it.

Either way - it made me realize my problems with Dino Charge - that the end of season 1 has made the series feel like it's returning to the same problems that plagued Samurai and Megaforce - including things "just because" with little to no explanation as to why. Basically, allowing the series and the footage to dictate the story instead of creating the story on your own.

Dino Charge created a story but then allowed the footage available from Kyoryuger to direct the story (for things like new Zords, etc.) instead of continuing the process of making Kyoryuger fit in to Dino Charge's story.

IE - Dino Charge started making Kyoryuger fit its narrative, but the season ended with Dino Charge fitting the Kyoryuger footage instead.
