I liked it. Again the variety of characters is cool. And Balance is totally fabulous.

Think about it in RPG terms. Lucky is the main character hence protected by the story which is how the narrative is able to progress. You can call it what you want, deus ex or plot armor but this is how it has been in every show. And when you have one serious Sentai Red in the previous series, you generally will see it followed by less serious, maybe borderline dumb one. But if the supporting cast is good enough to balance (like, a certain fabulous Mechanical lifeform) out Lucky's over-positive outlook, then it will all click.

He meets a couple of party members who are already in the know and will take some time to get into their backstories. Eventually as the crew assembles, everyone will get fleshed out.

Stinger and Champ's backstory is a good way to start some character building for some of the characters and Champ being a goddamn bull-robot intergalactic Pro-Wrestler is one of the best concept I've ever seen in Sentai. And Stinger being a Scorpion/human lifeform thing and how the tail is also present in his Kyuranger form.

Can I say I am loving the variety of suit types this show has. From a sheer toku standpoint, I can really appreciate everything from Raptor's design, to Champ's and of course, morally ambiguous C3PO (Balance..cause...he's gold).

Can't wait for Raptor's henshin this week.
