Power Rangers Dino Thunder Episode 19: Lost and Found in Translation

Original review is HERE.

This episode is honestly just alot of fun all around.

It's also an odd example how the more things change, the more they stay the same9especially in a meta sense).

While it's only a light sprinkling due to this being a kid's' show, Conner here really does represent the sort of terminally online "no fun allowed" type of fan that many a fanbase unfortunately has to contend with.

But rather than just make him a completely unlikable jerk all the way through, Conner eventually does have his turnaround, by seeing the heart and soul of what makes many tokusatsu shows work: And that's the fun factor. And for Power Rangers specifically, the life lessons they teach ontop of that.

Episode 19 overall is a really unique beast in how it handles itself, its source material, and its overall subject matter. That, plus just the sheer fun of the situation is what I think makes this episode really stand out not just to me, but to alot of other fans as well. A shaking of hands between Power Rangers and Super Sentai is an idea that many more fans should adopt, I think.
