Episode Review:

Loving Izzy, she has great one liners and attitude. With Javi, there is plenty room to grow. There is more to know about him. I thought he would be more cynical but that seems to be Izzy. I just realized Ravi and Javi rhyme. 

Power Rangers Dino Fury - Lost Signal - Episode Review

 Episode Summary:

Zayto looks at his pendant and thinks about his mom who gave it to him. Amelia comes and asks what he is thinking about. In the base, Zayto receives a message from his home planet Rafkon but the system overloads and they need a part from Rafkon. Amelia comes up with going to a psychic but while Ollie wants to go to the observatory for the message. Ollie doesn't believe in psychics. They go to the Psychic at a carnival and see Jane get a reading. Jane is told she has powers and wears a blindfold and goes through the city bumping into things to find Sporix for the Rangers. J-Borg finds a Sporix but she gets her foot stuck on a cement bucket. Jane is stuck on a bus. As for Ollie and Jane, Ollie pretends to be in love with Jane to prove the psychic was a fraud. Zayto had given the psychic a necklace from Rafkon and the psychic tells him only good news. But now he is disappointed that she was a fraud. 

Vapeera appears and J-Borg calls up the hotline about it. Mucus appears but hides when the Rangers teleport in. Vapeera freezes Zayto with the eyes on her chest and slashes at him. Ollie and Amelia hide their vision and morph. The Rangers hide their vision and fight Vampira. Ollie and Amelia go down. Mucus gets a camera and teleports away with Vapeera. The duo un-morph and speak to Zayto. They teleport to the observatory. The scientist says it was an energy surge but believes it was nothing. Zayto leaves them. Amelia gets a message, Buzzblast is down. Ollie and Amelia find that Vapeera took over their broadcast and freezes all of Pine ridge with the eyes on her chest. The video plays on a loop. Zayto is frozen. Solon doesn't freeze because of her cyborg eyes. Zayto can't get in contact with the others.

Solon sees the stone from Zayto's pendant. She says it's the same crystal of the modulator. The pendant was from his mom when he became a knight. She told her not to give up. Zayto decides to use the Sonic key. He goes to Vapeera with a blindfold and uses the Sonic Dino Key. It allows him to listen better. He avoids her slash and slashes her. Mucus leaves. Zayto stops the video and everyone is free. Solon contacts the duo. The duo teleport already morphed and with armors from the sonic key. Vapeera grows giant. 

Zayto morphs and they call the T-Rex Champion Zord. Zayto makes Battle Mode and teleports in. The other zords Tricera Blade Zord and Anklo Hammer Zord arrive. They attack the monster. Blue tells Tricera Blade to cut the concrete and Ankylo smashes it. Pink uses the Hover Dino Key and throws the street on her Blue uses a Boost key to fix it as a street. The street covers up her eyes with a key. The Rangers then put keys in for the zords and the zords combine with T-rex. The rangers enter the Dino Fury Megazord. They defeat Vapeera. Void Knight is to get the remains but the Rangers get it. Then Zayto gets the message but it is an alien language he doesn't know. They say it could be an evolved form of the language. He has a renewed sense of 'never give up' from what he remembered from his mom. He then sends his message to space.

Episode Review:

Solid episode. Lots happened but it tied all together. Now Jane's adventures have vibes of Ben and Betty. Zayto learned about the blindfold and the necklace tied to his mom. Great writing. I was hoping Jane and Amelia's relationship would have shades of The Devil Wears Prada or even Mia and the agent/reporter Michelle Walsh on Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. Anyways, am I detecting shipping vibes between Ollie and Amelia?

Power Rangers Dino Fury - Sporix Unleashed - Episode Review

 Episode Summary:

They practice morphing but Ollie and Amelia keep getting it wrong. "Link to the Morphin Grid" is the morphin phrase. They ask questions. Zayto says they lost the other Ranger keys when they lost the Rangers. They have Boost Keys which are upgrades. They then teleport back into the base. Amelia asks who names the zords, they get no answer. They find Void Knight's scanner which Ollie fixates on. He says if they can find all the Sporix, combine with her mom's drone, to find the Sporix. Solon says it is dangerous to mix alien tech with human tech (but isn't that what they are already doing?). They arrive in the city, Zayto says it has changed. They tell Zayto to blend in. Zayto makes them disappear. They arrive to the park headquarters. Zayto says no one can know they're Rangers.

They meet with Ollie's mom and the warden. They are banned from Dinohenge. They tell the truth about Sporix but the warden doesn't believe them. Ollie tells his mom about the Sporix and shows the energy scanner, going against Solon's wishes about the drone. Later, Amelia's boss Jane shows her new assistant J-Borg, from Hartford RObotics (PROO reference). Amelia has arrived with Zayto. The robot finished but made a mess. She then stacks the papers rapidly. Everyone applauds. Amelia approaches Jane. One lady shows a video of a Sproix running after a victim. Zayto wants to know the location. Void Knight and a Sporix arrive. He finds a forcefield and Ollie and his mom. They hide. Ollie and mom try to lift the scanner. Zayto tells Ollie a Sporix hatched. Ollie tells his mom and leaves. Void Knight tells his monster to get the scanner and he has a plan.

Ollie, Amelia, and Zayto face Mucus, the female Sporix. They morph. Zayto slices Muscus into slime. The monster from the last episode arrives and they fight it. Zayto uses the Stink Dino Key--a boost key and uses Stink Boost and throws a stink bomb which the Rangers don't like. The monster beats him. Mucus arrives. The Hengemen fight them. Mucus and Shockhorn fight. He answers to Void Knight. They teleport away, Mucus said she likes taking orders. The Rangers arrive to the base. Amelia wants to try the Boost Key. Zayto says people need to be warned. There is an alert. Ollie says they going along with his drone plan which the others don't. They teleport to Ollie's mom and she is surrounded by Void Knight, Mucus, and Shockhorn. They morph. Ollie's mom wraps a rope around Mucus and uses her drone. It explodes on top of Shockhorn. 

Shockhorn flies away. The scanner is destroyed. The Rangers stop Void Knight and he teleports away. Blue asks Ollie's mom if she is okay, she says he sounds familiar and he says no. She thanks him. Zayto says he will activate his zord. Shockhorn grows big in the city. The Rangers teleport and use the Boost keys. Zayto and SOlon deploy the T-Rex Champion Zord from the base. Pink uses the Gravi Dino Key and uses the Gravi Ball to attack and hold SHock Horn. Ollie uses a key and tries flying at him but is knocked down. The zord arrive sand roars. It knocks Shockhorn down. Red activates Battle Mode. He teleports in the cockpit and fights Shockhorn. Tail detaches and does tail lash. Then the head detaches and uses Mega Fury Saber. He does the Champion CHomp and destroys the monster. Tagline is Dino Fury Victory. Sporix eggs goes down. They go down to get it but Void Knight catches it and leaves. It will be stronger. They go back to base and de0morph. Zayto says they fought well. Ollie learned his lesson and apologizes. Zayot as Red Rnager sends a message through TV about the threat. Mucus and Void Knight find a base out in the woods, called Area 62, a facility abandoned long ago. 

Episode Review:

Dialog? Good. Logic and reasoning? Good. But overall pacing suffers again by timing. Some parts feel rushed, some are perfect. The show benefits from teleporting again. The moralizing is not as bad but Ollie’s realization came tacked on. The show suffers from short runtime. 

Power Rangers Dino Fury - Destination Dinohenge - Episode Review

Episode Summary:

Amelia, who hops off her bike, says hi to her boss Jane of BuzzBlast, who works too much on weekends. She has an idea about Dinohenge for a story. Amelia has never written a story that was her own. She has already done a video, on glow in the dark lip gloss. Jane wants a factual story and Amelia is happy, she has permission to go. She has a machine that detects ghosts. She walks through the foggy forest. She finds something moving fast. Ollie yells for help, he gets electrocuted in a net. He was on a bike. Amelia apologizes. He is late for something. He is looking for Dinohenge too. He split up with his archeologist mother. They find the ruins. No one knows where they came from. A woman--Dr. Arkana, his mom greets Amelia. She has cool tech like a drone that can detect structures. 

The drone scans the dinosaur statues and they start rumbling. The drone comes back. The rumbling stops. Ollie's mm shows there is a chamber underneath. A man arrives, Warden Buzzkill--Warden Garcia. Amelia already knows him. He is a park ranger who wants them to pack up and file a report. Dr. A happily goes with him and tells Ollie to pack up. Ollie stays with Amelia, who helps with the drone. She calls herself a ghost hunter and Ollie figures she thought he was a ghost. He says he never saw a ghost and asks for proof. She says with ghosts, it is hard to find proof. She calls him close-minded and he calls himself logical. Void Knight arrives and detects the energy source. He blasts through the ground. Ollie and Amelia hide. Void Knight goes down. Amelia follows but Ollie is hesitant. 

They find the underground headquarters and find footsoliders. They hide from Void Knight. He finds a dinosaur lady and a dormant Red Ranger. She puts light on the Red Ranger but he does not move. Void Knight slashes on the device meant to revive Zayto, the Red Ranger. Ollie grab the sword and fight back Void Knight. Amelia shocks him with her net. The dinosaur woman throws a key at them but Void Knight takes it and uses it on his sword to bring the "Hengemen" to life. The two have fighting experience and fight the Hengemen. The device is too damaged to wake up Zayto. Amelia gets the sword and slashes at the Hengemen. Ollie and Amelia get cornered and the swords glow. The dinosaur lady Solon throws keys at them when their Morphers appear. They morph.

Ollie becomes the Blue Ranger and Amelia becomes the Pink Ranger. Void Knight tells them the Hengemen to tear them apart. The two fight the Hengemen. Amelia asks what else they get. Ollie says Zords. Void Knight finds the energy source and it is glowing balls called Sporix. He has the Hengemen take a chest of Sporix. Solon hits the device. Red Ranger awakens and fights the Hengemen. He has questions. A device falls to the ground. Zayto says Sporix is bad. They fight Void Knight. Some Hengemen are destroyed into rocks. Zayto changes his sword into the Dino Dagger. The Sporix escape and float, circling everywhere. Void Knight escapes with it. He throws rocks on them. The Sporix escapes but some fall to the ground and hatches into a monster. They disappear. Ollie and Amelia de morph.

Zayto demorphs. The Morphers become wrist devices. He knows stuff as he can read minds. He was making sure if it still works. Solon says 65 million years have passed. Zayto is an alien and Solon is a cyborg dinosaur. He tells them that his home planet  Rafkon was attacked by Sporix and few survivors    They left the planet to Earth. They followed and fought them along with dinosaurs. They grew giant and  they retreated. Morphin masters arrived and used the Morphin grid. Their dinosaurs and prehistoric beasts became statues and gave life to Zords. The masters made the knights into rangers. They locked the sporix in chest and the others were lost. They tried destroying the sporix but could not. They wonder who the void knight is and need to get the sporix back. We see the sporix hide all over the city.

Episode Review:

Unlike Beast Morphers, the show starts with the theme song. So far so good. This felt like part 1 of 2, it is not as rushed as people say it is. It just felt short and I did want more. The story is engrossing. It is great the Morphin Masters from MMPR and the comics have been referenced here. So I am looking forward to the next episode.

What do I think?

Well, I don't judge a series before it starts. I am not the kind of person that says "this is going to ruin Power Rangers" because basically, this is the last series based on Super Sentai. The next Power Rangers series are supposedly a live-action grittier series and an animated one most likely. The addition of Mick however could go one of two ways: adding vanilla to vanilla or adding yummy chocolate syrup to vanilla. The pattern with Power Rangers is endless, teenagers getting together and meeting in a high tech headquarters to team up with aliens and fight aliens. Ryusoulger was about an ancient tribe (the Rangers were being trained) coming to modern world, which I wish was carried on. It is not like I hate it or whatever but it is a bit tiring.
