Time Force is, to my mind, the most overrated season of Power Rangers. Coming off of my all time favorite in Lightspeed Rescue, I had high hope for this series. They were quickly dashed. None of the heroes were in the least bit interesting to me. Jen was like a character from a fanfic. She's a giant walking cliche. Wes was supposed to be the hero but he always came across as milquetoast until the very end. Trip, eh. Lucas was sort of a watered down version of Kai. And Katie, I don't think I remember a single thing about her other than she was super strong.

The meka was terrible. The Time Force Megazord is the least appealing of all of the Megazords we had gotten up til that point, and it's still bottom of the barrel today. Q-Rex looked overly silly running through that same bridge over and over, and made no sense, really. To me it just screamed "WE NEED A T REX TOY!" The Transwarp Megazord may be the stupidest giant robot I have ever seen, especially when he punched himself in the ass to go back in time. But overall they were weak and immemorable.

The villains at least were pretty strong. Ransik was a very good badguy. One of the best American exclusive baddies for sure. Nadira was annoying but I guess that was her point. Frax was an intriguing character in the second half of the series.

Overall I tolerated Time Force more than anything else. This was not helped by the legions of PR fans who went insane over the series as it was airing (mostly because they WUVED JEN SOOOO MUCH). So I rated Time Force as "Bad" and will continue to hold that opinion.
