Do you feel more generous towards the Seiken Sword headpieces, now that they're shown to have practical application?

Golem literally did it in the first episode though.

I like how earnest and supportive everyone is, to an almost eerie degree. (The way everyone just says ?Touma? to Touma at the end, I was sincerely expecting all of this to be a dream, and Touma to be woken up by Kento back on Avalon. Why are they each saying his name like that? It?s creepy!) I like that Ogami claims all credit, to his son?s delight. I like that Mei?s a core part of the cast, instead of some weird hanger-on that she?s been treated as, mostly. It?s a solid The Heroes Win By Being Heroic episode, a heartwarming conclusion to a baffling, largely frustrating series of bizarrely-plotted episodes.

I guess Ogami's absence from the team fight is actually convenient for the Touma-calling scene, otherwise he'd break the pattern by calling him "Novelist" like he usually does. Pretty ironic that the Swordsman of Rocks gets turned in to a rock. I get what you're saying about the dreamlikeness, it has the same kind of feeling as Ryuki's HBV, with everybody suddenly having amazing friendship and co-ordination out of nowhere. Honestly though, (Akamichi) Ren saying anything can be creepy, so this is totally in-character for him.

Sounds like you should go watch Ryusoulger Dinosaur Panic, if you haven't already.

I will gladly defend Sophia from anybody who accuses of her being boring. Her role as a mystic to SOL may not be as spectacular as the Swordsmen's battles, but she's still invaluable for maintaining the security of Northern Base against the Megids and she clearly cares for the Swordsmen's emotional welfare. I was also surprised to find out her actress was 39-40, despite looking much younger than that.

BTW, Princess Shayla is actually from Wild Force, one of my favorite PR seasons. I don't mind her, but I prefer her Sentai counterpart Tetomu.
