Probably the weakest of the four episodes so far. It was more built around the action this week. Casey getting poisened really served no purpose. I suppose the title really refered to the arrival of the five worriers.

Its wierd how they all fight together and nearly defeat the Rangers. Yet one of them stupidly goes off on his own and fights the Rangers by themselves. Reminds me of the Psycho Rangers. It does seem a little early for the Rangers to be fighting stronger monsters.

The Ranger's finding out about Jared's fate was interesting. I wonder if Jared is going along with his possession or is he completely subverted? I guess we will find out in the finalie.

Lily watching over Casey is an interesting subplot, but it wasn't really explored enough. Maybe it will be an on going thing.

There wasn't much substance to this episode, outside of the Jared reveal and Casey's new bike debuting ( which was fine). I wonder who the female voice was in the beginning. The one that introduced the monsters as Camille watched.

Still no thread? Wow, this board's really catching on...

Anyway, worlds better than last week. Even though the "I give up!" storyline in the Kalish era is beyond overused, RJ ended up bringing something new to the table. His way of showing Theo why he lost his confidence and how to get it back was the best PR pep talk I've seen in years.

The battle scenes were excellent, the ADR was acceptable, and the teleplay was tolerable. Only thing that's still bothering me is why the theme song has to play at the end of every Megazord battle. And it's not just because I don't like the song, because Operation Overdrive only played their theme once the entire season, and that was during the theme-happy team-up. People compose background music for a reason, let it tell the story for you.

And how could I leave without saying how much RJ's flashdance rules my world! Good time, good episode.

Diffinitly better then the last episode. One thing I didn't like is how Casey attacked the monster too. It made it look wierd when Theo got all bent out of shape about his own loss and Casey didn't care about his. They should have edited Red attacking out of the Sentai footage. Also they already established that Casey was good at pizzas. Made it wierd to suddenly have Theo as the best employee. The monsters attacking one by one after attacking together last time continues to be lame ( but thats a pr trait so not surprising).

But it was a nice Theo focused episode. And I agree that RJ was played well in this. It wasn't a memorable episode, but it wasn't a horrible one either. It was fine for what it was. Flit isn't even bothering me anymore ( I guess I have accepted the fact that there is no way around it).

I think they play the theme more because it works more as background music. The power pop rap stuff in MF and OO was difficult. I actually liked it. Its old school PR. I loved it when they brought it back in NS and DT. The thing is I don't thing the BGM is as strong as it was during Space-WF.

I liked the episode. At least it was the usual Red Ranger that decides to give up.

PrimoPiccolo · 03/18/08, 03:21 AM

Episode aired... four and a half hours ago, someone must have seen it by now. Going to look for a download myself now. Feel free to gush.

Ugh. Another two-parter compressed into 20 minutes. Not a terrible ep, but it could have used some work. Or more time.

Theo being jealous of Casey and Lily was a nice addition. Makes me wonder just where exactly they'll end up taking it as the series progresses.

The development of the the relationship between the two Poisons was pretty poor. I mean, it wasn't the greatest in Geki to begin with, but it was a tad less random. It was random, poorly written and scripted, and poorly acted. Just poorly done all together.

I'm becoming increasingly disappointed by JF. After such a promising start, I was hoping for a great series. It might still prove to be a good series, but, it's not looking good at this point. However, after Overdrive, I'm willing to accept just about anything.

Apparently been online since Monday.

US: http://disney.go.com/dxd/index.html?channel=16953
Foreign: http://a.dolimg.com/media/en-US/dxd/...x700_31fps.swf

Can't get that site to work, so I'm SOL. Discuss.

PrimoPiccolo · 03/27/08, 07:31 PM

Okay, could have sworn I made a thread Monday.

Obviously wasn't that great, since nobody noticed we didn't have a thread. O_o

DarkBlaze · 05/05/08, 08:36 PM

Hope you guy's don't mind me making this.

The episode was very well done. It was the first predominant villain episode, and they handled it well. The character development (villain-wise) was good, and Lily alone made the episode really enjoyable. 5/5. Only thing... that stupid Strike Rider!
