come feed the rain

Just finished RPM! And, wow, that makes seventeen seasons of Power Rangers... which, if my calculations are correct (they're probably not) makes for around twelve solid days' worth of episodes. Damn, I'm good.

So, some thoughts on the rest of season:

Corinth has a ridiculously terrible security system. How do these monsters keep getting in??? Seriously, half the time they walk in the security alarms don't even go off.

Why did Dillon drive on the right side of the road, while Scott and Flynn drove on the left...? If Corinth was supposed to be Boston, they should all have been driving on the right. And even if Corinth made up new driving rules, their steering wheels should all be on the same side.

The way they introduced the Dillon/Summer romance, on Summer's part at least, was pretty abrupt. There were a few hints of Dillon being interested in Summer, but definitely not the other way around - and all of a sudden Dr. K's like, "You're totally torn between Scott and Dillon. Which one do you think is cuter?" And wtf was the hint about Scott? Summer didn't seem interested in him at all. There was this one brief moment where Scott saw Summer put her hand on Dillon's shoulder, and he nodded, but I wasn't sure if he was "surrendering" or just, well, nodding.

Speaking of Summer/Dr. K conversations, though, the one where Dr. K told her that she liked her even though she was competition for the male Rangers' attentions was PRICELESS. Absolutely beautiful, hahaha.

Also, totally random observation that I probably should have included in the last post: their names all sound like something out of a novel. Scott Truman, Flynn McAllister, and Summer Landsdown? Haha, wow. I'm rather impressed.

GEM AND GEMMA ARE SO FUCKING AWESOME. CAN WE HAVE MORE TRIGGER-HAPPY POWER RANGERS PLEASE. ALSO, THEIR JUMPSUITS ARE PRECIOUS. I really, really want a spin-off show of Gem and Gemma blowing things up.

The possible romance between Gemma and Flynn was totally unexpected, but sweet and adorable nonetheless. I would have liked to see it alluded to in the finale, though.

Dillon and Tenaya... Hm. Unfortunately, Dan Ewing wasn't the greatest of actors, so some of the moments between them came across as a bit cliche. That said, I have a total lesbian crush on Tenaya. Seriously, that girl is hot.

Also, guys? Dr. K officially wins the award for Power Rangers mentor who doesn't actually suck. YAY!!! Congratulations, Dr. K, you're a rare specimen.

So... Wow. Seventeen seasons. Bring on Samurai!
