They introduced these and made them large plot points for one episode, then nothing.

I like the overall tone (although inconsistent) of the show and the characters. I like that Red is pragmatic and thinks of the mission rather than people, but I know that doesn't sell to kids.

I don't think anyone should write off those plot points just yet, not until the show's over.

I think the problem is that those plot points will become Chekhov's Guns, points introduced briefly but then discarded until a later point in the series where they'll hold significance.
With all the supposed revamping the series is receiving, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume their reintroduction as significant plot threads would only be as an afterthought, which leads to sloppy handling.

As long as Yokos dad is Jin Im happy. Or perhaps the last bit of her fathers soul was programmed into J!? Both awesome possibilities.

I support this...

It's failed because it is just down right boring. In fact, I stopped caring after episode 30. The entire Messiah battle was utter crap and bland. Then they give the show a brand new opening that is horrible sounding and does not fit the show at all. The Buddyroids are the most useless pieces of ****. The weaknesses of the rangers are complete nonsense (if I see a chicken, I freeze, so all Enter had to do was send in a chicken monster). The characters have no personalities and half the cast is useless.

If I remember rightly, there's a deleted scene that was cut from episodes 15-16 (but was put back in the director's cut) that strongly suggests Jin isn't Yoko's dad. They've brought it up on the TV-Nihon forums, but I haven't actually been bothered to watch the episodes for myself to see.

^ Yep, this. They were HUGE plot points for one episode, and haven't been mentioned since. Yeah, I'm betting it'll be a conga line of plot wrap-ups at the very end, if at all.

what they should of done was have messiah die before the hole card arc and introduced a new baddie when they tryed to revamp this show would have been great if it had one of though new villian plots in it.

I disagree. The Messiah fallout and Enter becoming the main villain is far more interesting than them introducing a whole new set of villains.

If you actually watched the show you'd know Enter doesn't know Red Buster's weakness. There was a whole episode dedicated to specifically making sure he didn't find out.

i think the bottom line is that kids didnt find this series fun, unlike wizard it's a fun show because it brings excitment with new rings, something to look forward to. with gobusters, there's no excitment with the series with new things every episode or every other, it was same thing over and over again, with nothing to look forward to, i guess the characters are part of this too, bandai is also to blame with some of their toy releases, powered custom brace, gobuster beet etc.
