Hey there. Ian here, and here are my general comments about the first episode of Dino charge. It's a 80% awesome and 20% questionable for me.


 * 1) Modern day world map shown when the asteroid shower happened instead of Pangaea; North America being pummeled by asteroids is a very glaring error to be ignored if you ask me.
 * 2) I love that Poisandra is terribly off-key unlike her Sentai counterpart Candelira. Her craziness and her romance with Sledge reminds me of Rita and Zedd.
 * 3) D (Deathryuger) is one of Sledge's prisoners! He might not be in his ranger outfit then but it gives me hope we will see him with the Spino Zord (Tobaspino).
 * 4) Sledge looks like a goon or a foot soldier more than an imposing boss villain. Other than that, always great to have a major antagonist that is exclusively Power Rangers.
 * 5) We might thank Chaos' design for potentially giving us a great deal of all-American produced footage instead of recycling Sentai footage. Face it, while Chaos was a prominent antagonist in Kyoryuger, it might not be too wise to adapt him to PR because fighting a baddie that looks like the Statue of Liberty wouldn't be appropriate.
 * 6) This year's rangers seem to be more human than those teleprompter-reliant mannequins from last year. At least the acting is not wooden unlike MegaFARCE actors (sorry I can't help but loathe that season).
 * 7) I actually like how slow-pacing the premiere was. The plot seems to be slowed down on purpose to incubate plot arcs for future episodes.
 * 8) I love how the Energems story arc was well-woven with the Beast Batteries. A nitpick: Shouldn't there be a plesiosaurus and a brachiosaurus in the scene where Keeper was handing out the energems to the dinosaurs?
 * 9) About that scene where Keeper crash-landed. I dunno to you guys, but given his decent fighting skills, and that scene where he picked up a silver Energem which was stored away from the other nine is a little suspicious... He might be morphing into the Silver Ranger, who knows?

Overall, this has been a great start for the season, and it seems to shape up to be a redemption after those two agonizing years watching MegaFARCE. What are you thoughts?
