Well that didn't fucking take long.

At least there's some potential in an Earth that's already been conquered where the Kyurangers are insurgent freedom fighters instead of defending against a long parade of ineffective invaders. With the entire world conquered and dozens of generals, that also means that the battle to free Earth should extend to a wide range of the same stock locations from Tokyo.

Don't get me wrong; I actually thought this was the best episode to date. The characters are starting to gel and develop personalities. Raptor actually got all of the focus this week without Lucky upstaging her at any point. I also finally remember Spada's name - he's a dick. The peach can joke did manage to get a chuckle out of me, which is far more than I can say for the weird away team selection dance.

I'm not thrilled with the premise shift, but I enjoyed this enough to stick around for at least a couple more weeks.
