This episode was disappointing.

The direction they went was perfect - Tyler loses control and it takes his father, revealing he's the Aqua Ranger, to snap him out of his funk.

But the reaction to seeing your father, who has been missing and presumed dead for TEN YEARS, was a simple hug and then run off to battle? Where's the teary eyed reunion? Where's the bit of angst of "You've been here all this time ... and you never bothered to reach out to me?" that EVERY NORMAL PERSON would have?

No. Just a hug and a quick "let's team up and fight and by team up I mean watch me use this new power while you stand in the background with my team who doesn't know who you are but we've been looking for you since the beginning and no one bothers to exclaim omg the Aqua Ranger is here!". Even more disappointing was they didn't use the Ankylo Zord, which would have added at least a LITTLE bit of drama to what should have been a drama-filled episode.

For an episode of Power Rangers that actually concluded a 26 episode story line, it felt rushed, chopped up, and rushed out of production. I mean shoot, you can even hear the echo from the ADR for all of Tyler's dad's lines (if you didn't know, the actor who plays him is not the same person who is voicing him - think Trey of Triforia and Brad Hawkins).

2/5 for me and the realization that the honeymoon with Dino Charge/Dino Supercharge is over. When Davi Santos mentioned in his interview with RangerCrew that, in the second half of filming (ie: Dino Supercharge) the crew was much less willing to let the actors have fun or explore their characters or suggest different ideas to the scenes I was afraid that would mean that Chip's production schedule got tightened up or took too long and it was about rushing to finish things.

Looks like I might have been right.
