"BUT KICKBACK" you say. "POWER RANGERS ALWAYS FORCES STORY IN TO SENTAI FOOTAGE".

True - but we didn't get it nearly this bad in Dino Charge. I mean, we had episodes from Kyoryuger that focused on, like, Kyoryu Green, and they changed it to focus on Koda (Blue Ranger) instead. It's like they decided they were on a time budget or something and just rush/rush/rush this half-season.

And the writing has gotten very ship-heavy. By that I mean they suddenly have two characters be "close" or "bff" with smiles that the ship-crews go crazy over. It feels like it's FORCED anymore, almost as bad as Arrow was doing it on the CW.

All in all, Dino Charge/Dino Supercharge is going to end as a season that had so much promise and dropped the ball in the home stretch.

The badgering of the series as a "Lost Opportunity" can't possibly escape the "Can't Please Everyone" endgame that has long dominated franchise/fan arguments of any genre, shape, or structure. Nearly everyone on Earth whined about Super Megaforce as "Dropping The Ball" and then Dino Charge regained some of the lost ground, now Dino Supercharge is condemned for doing the same that all of the other Neo-Saban "Super" halves are generally considered guilty of. That and the revelation that last weeks "Good" Ep., "Wings of Danger", had one of the lowest ratings of Supercharge is an indication that Saban and Nickelodeon need to rethink how they handle the future of the franchise. The theoretical advertisement that will follow the Movie may give a PR a "Shot In The Arm" and help Ninja Steel from receiving the apparently-denigrating "Super" treatment. However, while the "Super" halves are considered less than their first half and whether the low ratings and Movie Marketing are positive in changing the game, we can't ignore the efforts for what they are. Was this as good as last week: Not entirely, but you can give them an "A-" or "B+" for what was accomplished. Remember, the writing on the wall doesn't dot every I or cross every T until the last period. Like Super Megaforce, watch them individually then assess the "wreckage" after it is truly all said and done.
