The show started pacing itself better, taking things more seriously, the comedy wasn't nearly as intrusive as it could have been. Also, Ghost got rid of one of my biggest pet peeves in the franchise yet again, the strict adherence to two parters even when they are justified by the story.

Drive? Now that's a terrible show. Great underlying idea with the Roimude and their end game, but not absolutely lacking in execution, almost to the extent I felt Wizard lacked execution.

This is as someone who has seen every Kamen Rider series to date, Ghost when it's good is one of the better ones, IMO. Ghost is up there with Gaim and Double as my favorite shows of the post-Decade run.

This means a lot coming from you! Looks like I need to buck up and get serious about Ghost again. I left off at episode 12, and liked it well enough, but its lack of specialness made it hard to get really invested.

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of Drive.
