Power Rangers Super Megaforce Ep 07 - Silver Lining Part 1 - Discussion

Starscream Gaga · 04-07-2014, 10:09 AM

The fact that in all the Goseiger suits and the tacked on scenes with them they never use any of their Goseiger/Megaforce Powers really bothers me and highlights just how much they shouldn't be there. Surely someone who doesn't even know about Goseiger and Gokaiger would be bothered by the fact that you had a whole season of them getting new powers and abilities that they no long ever use, even when still using the Megaforce forms? I know I would be. Its just crappy. The entirety of Super Megaforce is a train-wreck, even in better episodes like this. Maybe this will change if my theory that 2-3 of the missing 4 episodes from the summary are the Brajira and Dark Gosei Knight footage is correct, but right now the Goseiger suits are just one big Question Mark to everyone.

Well it's official. Doesn't look like I'm going to be watching this (or toqger) any time soon. I know I shouldn't complain that there's been a crack down, but whatever.

It'll be on Instant Video in a year or so. That'll have to do.

There's a mystery silver ranger and not ONE of you even consider the possibility its Robo Knight? Urgh, can this show think of its own continuity just once please?

That aside, I have to agree that it was a pretty great episode. I've very interested in how Saban are going to pass off excitable fanboy footage as an alien bent on revenge, but as far as this episode went they seemed to have a pretty good grip on it. Troy's speech in the classroom was a little cringeworthy, but that was almost EXACTLY the kind of speech I'd expect MMPR through In Space pull off so I guess it was nothing really new.

Kinda impressed they kept the whole "spear impales monster" shot in, especially since bullets are a no no. Wasn't a gun barrel edited out in an episode of Samurai too?

"If there was another Ranger, wouldn't Gosei have told us?"

When has Gosei EVER told you guys important stuff like that? I mean he kept Robo Knight a secret from you.

I checked this one out to satisfy my morbid curiosity. How will they introduce Gokai Silver?

And wow. Not doing that again. Of the three full episodes of Super Megaforce I've watched, this might be the worst? I'm not sure I've ever seen so incompetently written a half hour of television.

No joke, every line of dialogue was exposition. That is not hyperbole. I've read Lego instruction manuals that had more drama in them than this episode. Dora the Explorer has more nuance than this show (at least there, a kid learns a few Spanish words).

And these poor actors. I've decided that they're not even that bad. I think a lot of people are mistakenly blaming them for the shittiness of this show. The blame lies squarely on the piss poor writing. If Robert DeNiro performed this script, people would think he was terrible too.

This was just... it was an abortion.
