It was supossed to be a police barricade, I think. At first I thought "He's beating him with a BBQ grate?!" xD

It's to bad that he can't use two shift cars at once

"Justice Hunter" + "Max Flare" = "Delicious BBQ"

Great episode. The show is starting to get better seeing how I didn't like how fast the first episode went. I do love how great the Justice Hunter Tire looks on Drive. It also feels nice that Drive is going to be called a "Kamen Rider" again seeing that recent riders like Den-O, Kiva, OOO, Wizard and Gaim never called themselves "Kamen Riders" outside the movies.

Hold on, is this series actually going to avoid the "presumed dead ally ressurected/rescued by bad bad guys but later becomes a good guy trope? Good for them.

Also, I'm hoping they give us an actual reason why Kiriko couldn't become drive . Again, she seems to be a fairly competent character (so far) and it will be interesting to know more of her back story.

My guess right now is that she probably isn't human. At least not fully.

Every time i see that Desity Shift gear the Special Crimes unit uses…I can't help but think that they're gonna instead bust some ghosts.

I assume it's because she has a vagina.

I think compared to Gaim, Drive is really hitting the ground running and is starting off at a good pace. It certinally helps that there's no overarching story like Gaim had.

I think my one complaint about Drive is that compared to the last few shows that I've sat through, something about Drive feels much more toyetic than past series the whole Trideron chase scene just felt like one three minute commerical for the DX toy.

Now I know that selling toys is the whole point of Kamen Rider but I dunno…I feel like it's not really as sublte with Drive as it has been in the past.

I think TJ Omega put it best in his review of the Drive Driver, past Kamen Rider gimmicks feel like cool future tech while the Shift Cars just feel like toys.

Well yes, I meant beyond the general sexism.

I call bullshit on that. Cards to henshin? 3 shows of that I might add. Collectible medals? Astro Switches for gods sake? This show is no more or less gimmick driven then any other recent show. Early Heisei stuff is much less gimmick drive but still, this show is no better or worse than others for it.
