I'm only about fifteen episodes into the season, butomgihavefeelings.
First of all, the pilot episode. Dear God, the pilot episode. A vivid reminder of why I stopped watching Power Rangers after this season. Ridiculously problematic origin story for Cole aside, I cannot fucking stand him. Which is a problem, because he's the Red Ranger and basically every episode is secretly about him. He's a terrible actor, first of all. And that whole thing about he ~talks to the Lion zord~ and can ~see people's hearts~ is so eyeroll-worthy (kind of like with Maya, back in Lost Galaxy).
Also, why haven't the Rangers named their zords...? Every time they're like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO, RED LION etc," it just doesn't have the same impact because it sounds so impersonal.
Taylor and Alyssa kick so much ass, though, and I pretty much have a lesbian crush on Alyssa. She's so cute! And she has amazing legs, hot damn am I jealous. That said, it really irritates me how Taylor automatically defaults to Cole as the leader. Ugh. I would have liked a more Wes/Jen approach (minus the shipping, of course), but what can you do.
I have mixed feelings about Shayla. She's a pretty bad actress, but her character is kind of adorable. The show's been dropping some hints about Shayla/Merrick, which is uber-cute. As for her as a mentor... she seems pretty damn useless. Like, can she actually fight? I hope she can, but that episode where she was kidnapped by Zen-Aku was pretty painful. Like, you just stand there when he lets go of you, and you don't run or anything? Okay, w/e.
Going back to the zords... omg, I love them. Disney, you win this round. I love how the Megazord does that roar thing with his face. Also, the different zords are so awesome! Elephant and giraffe zord ftw. I really hope there's a penguin zord somewhere.
Still waiting for omgthetimeforceteamup.
Okay, back to watching Merrick test out his new Ranger powers. But how does he know how to use a cellphone...?
ETA: WHAT THE HELL, he plays POOL to access his powers? Seriously, show?
