I feel like with each new episode, things are being dumbed down further and further. The dialogue was practically laughable.

- They had two episodes to build up Orion's character and backstory, but they literally summed it up in 4 minutes. wow. How are we supposed to empathize with him if in literally seconds it goes from, oh I worked in a quarry, to oh no my people are gone, welp better use my morpher and skip right to the next scene of me building a....hut..I guess instead of oh I don't know, instead of fighting and trying to save people...
-Once he held morpher and ranger key together, they emitted a strange energy? But weren't they together to begin with? Why didn't they emit anything strange then?
-Why did Orion make a Darth Vader impression when his people were under attack? Also, did his people not have any self defense forces? You would think a civilization that has built cities would have weapons of their own...
-So Orion says he was alone, well I guess Blitz New Powers, Star Force and Boots weren't in Orion's planet then...
-He just HAPPENED to find a morpher in a giant rock days before the armada invasion.
-How did the morpher get inside said giant rock? Why was it separated from the rest of the ranger morphers and powerrs etc. "There's a perfectly logical explanation for that...."
-Orion sounded like such a child when he said "I did it!" When he morphed into the gold ranger and Troy sounded so condescending and sarcastic when he said "nice". It makes it even more hilarious because the gokaiger footage just has the rangers ignoring the 6th ranger's morph. XD
-Would it kill the writers to be consistent? Would it have killed them to have Orion yell out "Gold Power?"
3/10 I feel like this is turning more into a show for 5 year olds...oh wait..

It's Kiva. SMF is our Kiva.

Kamen Rider Kiva had terrible continuity problems?

Jeez.

I just finished watching RPM two days ago and now feel like my expectations are WAY TOO HIGH. I learned my lesson and will now lower them appropriately.

And now it's Overthinking Stuff Time!!!

Ok. I feel like the entire Power Rangers continuity got messed up. Ok, so RPM is in a different dimension, and yet they have Jungle Karma Pizza. Also, Mac's helmet appeared in an episode of RPM. Also, Clash of the Red Rangers taking place after RPM Rangers got the Paleomax Zords, as that was the engine cell that Scott was using in the "team-up" AND because he was using the RPM Ultrazord to battle Professor Cog. But all the Paleomax Zords were "deleted" by Venjix at the end of RPM. And the Rangers gave up their morphers at the end as well and Venjix was trapped inside of Red's morpher. This would place Clash of the Red Rangers before the end of RPM. This would also make RPM and Samurai take place at the same time. But Professor Cog appears in Super Megaforce, and the Grinders (which I thought would be gone with Venjix) appear as well (see the opening to Super Megaforce. Emma is fighting some Grinders). Also,one could say that Samurai and Megaforce are the alternate dimension, (which would explain why Casey disappeared at the end of the Jungle Fury tribute episode). But other Rangers from past seasons appear at the end of Super Megaforce and..... Great.... now my brain is fried.

-Not all the RPM zords were deleted by Venjix. The Paleozord was the only zord deleted.
-The rangers didn't give up their morphers because Venjix was trapped in the morphers. They just gave up their morphers without really explaining why. In the last scene it was then implied that Venjix is inside the red ranger's morpher.
-Venjix wasn't a general, he's just Venjix.
-They're called grinders, not cogs.
-The grinders exist because the movie takes place before Venjix is defeated.
-Yes both Samurai and RPM take place at the same time, just in different realities.
-It hasn't been revealed that Venjix appears in Super Megaforce and it wouldn't make sense for him to do so.
-The reason Emma is fighting grinders is because in a later episode The SM rangers go to the RPM universe because they pick up a signal from Corinth, but it's just a ruse from Professor Cog.

I forgot the names. I meant Geanerl Cog, not Venjix. And with Venjix trapped in Red's morpher, and Scott using the RPM Ultrazord in the beginning of Clash of the Red Rangers, it would still put the movie before the end of RPM.

EDIT: I am just terrible tonight. I meant Professor Cog. I fixed the paragraph I wrote...

I'm hating this episode even more and more. If you sit back and think about what's going on in the episode, everything falls apart because it doesn't make sense. Everything else was actually fine though, with all its' flaws. What bothers me so much more is Orion's half-assed backstory.
-Ignoring the fact that he downed a spacecraft with nothing more than a rock the size of his fist with a slingshot -__-, he said that he spent MONTHS repairing it. MONTHS....he shot a ROCK at it!! How could it be so extensively damaged that it would require months to repair!!??
-Where did he get the parts to repair the ship??
-It's not explained, but if you reasoned that he went around scavenging for parts.....Why didn't he spend that time LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS? Did he seriously just look from miles away, scream out "NO" and then assume that everybody was dead??!
-He never once went to a city or town or village to look for people??! Not once? Did he not have anybody to care for?? Parents, siblings, a wife, a husband, at least friends! Nobody?
-He swore revenge on the Armada, but in the months between him getting the 6th ranger powers and him leaving to Earth, all he did was fish, build a hut, train with a long stick and repair a ship. That's it.
-Why did he decide to repair the ship? What purpose would repairing the ship had done had he not crash landed on Earth?
Did the writers actually think things through or did they just come up with random ideas and shoved them all together?
Edit: I just had a theory, maybe Toei is doing all of this on purpose to make the Super Sentai look better by comparison. Either that or they think Western Audiences are flat out stupid.

I enjoyed it. It was well done in my opinion, and the whole thing made sense. All he knows is his remote village near a quarry. If a whole invasion strikes, decimating your village, you assume you're the only one left. And Orion is far more attractive with short hair than long. Almost looks like a young NPH.

Also, they missed a great joke/reference chance. They should have had him try on Gai's outfit when picking out clothes.

[decepticusprime]

I've come to the sense that while I still love this show, its a pure failure. When doing a show that's aimed at fans(and yes anything adapted from gokaiger is aimed at fans as much as kids) a certain amount of explanation is needed. Why did 3000 send the qrex back to orion? You need to tell us, even if your explanation is half baked(like so many other things) you have to at least TRY.
wtf are the keys and why should I use them? what makes the mmpr, lost galaxy, or overdrive suits so legendary ane powerful for example? is it because they're essentially layering on a 3rd morph power on top of themselves?
