Episode 19!

-Quiz is so wild. Seems more like a concept for a Sentai MOTW than a Rider, but isn't that what makes these Future Riders fun? Doing Rider concepts that couldn't be possible in a normal season? I dont really think anything of Mondo, but I think his goal is interesting. It's really funny to walk into a show where everyone's going back to past to change the future, and go "Changing the future by "fixing" the past has no point!"

-I know this crux of this episode's emotional dillemma is to defeat Mondo, but why does he still exist, as Quiz, when Another Quiz is running around...? Does being from an alternate timeline protect him from Time Nonsense?

-Speaking of this episode's dillemma....This is a super minor nitpick, but kinda wish this episode didn't immediately start in media res? I think a glimpse of Quiz in future doing Rider stuff like we did with Shinobi wouldve been nice, to get an idea what kind of loss the future not having Quiz around would be like. But this is just a nitpick, and I think Quiz still works without it.

-Anyway! I totally do love the difference between each Woz and the person theyre advising shown here. Woz will make moves behind-the-scenes in an attempt to steer Sougo on the path of Oma-Zi-O, but is inevitably pulled along into whatever act of good Sougo's trying to do this week. White Woz seems a lot more aggressive and overt/impatient with his "guidance" for Geiz. Like, both Wozes sort of treat the future they want as somewhat inevitable, but White Woz's nature make him feel a lot more sinsiter, even though he's on the side of "good".
