For starters - they've once again decided "THESE POWER RANGERS LIVE IN THEIR OWN UNIVERSE". Lame. Way to, once again, continually, spit all over your "rich history" and "rich universe". If every single series is a universe reboot, then what's the point in caring anymore?

The season finale/series finale wrapped up all the story lines ... most of which were introduced 4 to 6 episodes ago in a 40-42 episode series meaning none of us really give a damn about Heckyl's past (because it wasn't mentioned until 4 to 6 episodes ago) nor the character. Sledge? Too expensive to keep using original footage for him so out you go for 3/4 of the season until you can return to be an idiot. Final fight of the season? Let's only have 6 of the 10 Power Rangers take part ... too expensive to get those other suit actors in here for cool stunts.

The characters themselves ... Ivan claims he is triumphant over his "former captor, finally"? FINALLY? You did not give a damn after, what, Episode 12 of Dino Charge? You went 28 episodes before you decided to give a damn again? And Prince Phillip ... way to have him in there to say like, 3 lines. No mention of Ivan's returning to the past or some emotional "I look forward to reading about your conquests when I get home" or something. Literally - NOTHING. Just pulls his sleeves down and WHOOP through the portal.

I get it - Power Rangers is a kids show. "How can you expect so much from a kids show".

Because for the last 6 years, Saban Brands has been telling us every single year "THIS IS THE YEAR YOU GUYS GET EXCITED!" and then we do only to end up disappointed. Chip Lynn promised us "the best episodes of the franchise!" and in all honesty some of the writing and story direction makes me want to give Operation Overdrive a freakin' Emmy. WE ARE GETTING A MOVIE BUT THE SHOW CAN'T SEEM TO WRITE ITSELF OUT OF THE 3RD GRADE.

This finale gets a 1/5 from me.

The only thing "Super" in "Power Rangers Dino Supercharge" was apparently the title.

I'd say bring on Ninja Steel but honestly, I'm no longer looking forward to it. I'll watch it out of curiosity, but this is continuing to be an abusive relationship and it's time I break the chain.

NOTE: I'm not asking for a "dark" or "gritty" series. I'm not asking for blood/gore/violence. What I'm asking for is to make me CARE about things. Heckyl's past should have been hinted at the START of Dino Supercharge, with tidbits thrown in. Instead, he's this super evil villain and then WHOOP he's actually a victim, it'll be resolved in 4 episodes BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE HAVE LEFT. Prince Phillip is the descendant of a King that Ivan served? Totally could have had a much better back and forth plot with that. BUT NOPE, SENTAI FOOTAGE LOLZ.

I feel like a Sentai snob but the finale of Kyoryuger actually got me misty eyed. I cared about the villains. I cared about the heroes.

Power Rangers Dino Supercharge couldn't even fit it's own theme song in the show.

Sorry I'm ranting. It's just disappointing on a level that I had hoped we had gotten past.
