When the Megazord signal appears, Nakamura does her job so easily that it doesn't feel like she's a new member at all.

Yeah, it... I absolutely see why the show wanted to have an outsider come into the organization to facilitate some crucial exposition, but it's crazy to me that she's, like the fourth most important plot in the episode. She needs to be our POV, and it instead feels like a minor detail that's haphazardly tossed into the mix. I would've greatly preferred her to either have been excluded (her introduction allows a couple minor lines of dialogue that could've been prompted by anyone) or made the focal point. As is, not a great use of the trope!

(And I really don't like Hiromu's haircut.)
