The rest of Season 2 was released a few days ago, so I'm excited to see if Dino Fury can stick the landing as I catch up over the next few weeks!

Amelia focus! Great way to start for sure, seeing her in her element with the supernatural investigation. She clearly enjoys her work, even when chasing dead ends. I thought it was a pretty emotional scene when she revealed her tragic backstory about her missing parents, like that's got to be important to the plot at some point, right? Knowing that's why she cares so strongly about the supernatural makes me appreciate her even more, she seeks the truth and is willing to bend a few rules to find out. Clever how the unadapted Gobusters footage with Tateloid was used to briefly show Beast Morphers' prison break situation, really adds to the continuity and makes the conflict feel bigger. Lord Zedd's finally back, putting his plan in action by springing Scrozzle in exchange for his service.

I've noticed that PR has been introducing a lot of romantic subplots lately, at least since Ninja Steel. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but if you remember that episode where Roxy has a misunderstanding and Ravi angrily refuses to explain himself but the episode moral is all like "oh, Roxy was wrong for doubting him!", then you might agree there's precedent for toxic portrayal like that. Fortunately, this Amelia/Ollie episode isn't that awful and puts the blame on both parties for being dishonest and tsundere-ish about their feelings. I would like to say that this ship feels a little sudden, despite Izzy claiming they "vibed" or whatever, but kudos for Zayto referencing the "honeymuffin" thing from Season 1 Episode 3. It's a better and healthier ship than anything that came from Beast Morphers anyway, so I'll allow it.

Thanks to Ollie remembering his brainwashing experience, we now have all 3 parts of the signal assembled! Turns out one of my several Rafkon theories was right, that the Rafkonians opened a cosmic gate to another star system and moved the planet there. However, when the Rangers arrive there to check it out, the only life they can find is Lord Zedd and his allies. The terrain has changed to a grassland vista in the last 65000000 years, but the Rafkon civilization is mysteriously absent. What could've happened here?! Looks like the planet doesn't have its own equivalent of Macbeth either, as our always arrogant Aiyon is quick to assume that Green Morphin' Master's prophecy, "you are needed to defeat Lord Zedd", instead means, "only you can defeat Lord Zedd". The prophecy wasn't wrong, he likely just misinterpreted the meaning. The Rangers do need Aiyon, as the empathetic heart of the team, but likewise, he should remember that "team" is the keyword there.
