One statement I've never really liked when it came to assessing or judging a show is "It could be worse," because it doesn't instill me with much confidence or desire to watch at all.

I dunno, I was just trying to wrap it up, as before I added the paragraph the whole post was just sorta left hanging. I dunno how to articulate it better, as in, 'as a sentai made for non sentai fans, at least they got something like Go-Busters and not something like Dairanger' lol. But that doesn't change that it is such an unfocused, sloppy mess of a story spotted with good characters and high production values.

I do get what you're saying, and the concept of "Bad X, Good Y" is something that seems to reverberate in Sentai often.

I guess when a show boils down to "It could be worse," I just start thinking about how things could get worse

It's just because I really don't like to give numbered ratings because then people fix on that and don't actually read your points. A number is a terrible description of the quality of a season, especially something as long as a toku show. So I just try my best to do wrap up paragraphs so the final posts flow nicely but I guess I run into just as many problems with those.

So err, I give it a B-?

I'm a little confused. Where did the mentality of "Blue is 2nd in command" come from? In a good majority of both Sentai and Power Rangers that I've seen, Blue has rarely taken that spot...

Yeah, sorry dude, but I rate DaiRanger a 10/10 while I give Go-Buster a 2/10.

BTW, Blue has come off as second in command in the last 10 years. The only exception is really when blue is female, and then if yellow is a male, yellow tends to be second in command. Green tends to be the inexperienced one, black is the hardened one who sometimes has a chip on his shoulders, pink is the Zelda/Peach of the group, and if yellow is a girl, she is usually a strong female tomboy of sorts.

Go-Onger 28. Giving this show a rewatch since I didn't finish it when it was originally being released.
I didn't care for the mechs much back then, but after watching RPM and getting my hands on a High Octane megazord they have become some of my favorites. The suits are neat. The Engines way of talking gets kind of old.

I can't really get into this show. The Wings are cool, the 3 Ministers are likable, but other members of the cast lack any real charm, except Gunpei at times, when he's trying to act all cool. The characters mannerisms seem more strange/ annoying than funny. Though lighthearted and fun, much of the comedy falls a bit flat as making a funny face seems to be the punchline to a lot of gags. The gags don't really flow well into the scene.
The plot and character development seems more about the 3 Ministers than the Go-Ongers.
I don't hate the show, but so far it's a bit lacking.

Blue seems to have a 50/50 chance of being serious and worthy of being second in command or being the goofy one, unless they're girls because BLECK! Girls! Black however seem consistently the ones likely to be second in command outside of maybe Goseiger that I've seen.

Finished Goseiger. I don't regret it, it was somewhat entertaining. Mainly cuz the main villain and Goseiknight kicked ass. I came into this show kinda jaded cuz the last time I saw anything related to Goseiger was when Roboknight did his little "rap" and I was just: done. Thank the Sentai lords for Moune, cuz most of the cast, especially Alata and Dumbo, I mean, Eri were just painful to watch. I love the Gosei suits so that made it better. Worst super mode ever though, really, the hell was that?! Oh, the professor dude was pretty cool. The whole time Sen-Chan was on-screen I was: "Get oughta there, Sen-Chan! You're too green, man!! No, Sen-Chan!!!"

Tried starting Go-Busters, they're fucking five. I have a very hard time taking Toku characters seriously when they're either young as hell, still in high school, or look like they're still twelve years of age. I got through Fourze okay cuz that show didn't feel like it took itself so seriously. Gobusters though, unnghh. The goddamn silver one seems to be the only one I'm okay with out of incompetent mentors/staff guys, children and frenchie villain. Perhaps someday I'll get through it, not anytime soon though, I started Zyuranger and have Kyoryuger set up after that.

[Dr Kain]

That was one of my issues with Goseiger. The cast looks like they are all still 12.
