As usual, this show is the Savior of my TV viewing.
That has to be the best opening they've ever done. Nice to see the new clips added and more wiggle room with one less person.
Awesome seeing Clark underway with Jor-El's training and questioning his lack of ability to fly.
Liked the mention of Kara and Tess pointing out that Zod isn't the voice that spoke to her. Also liked Chloe's attempt to try to get Clark to use the ring to prevent Jimmy's death.
If Clark was really giving up his humanity, he should've ended his ties with the farm. And sweet fight with Alia.
It's gonna be another great year. ^_^

RPM #24 "ANCIENT HISTORY": Day of the Dino
I felt like this episode should've been done sooner, but better late than never. Nice Truman/K focus about moving on from the past for a brighter future.
Why'd Venjix not send Tenaya 7 to the rundown Alphabet Soup sooner? I liked the plot and how snooping around the old storage awakened the DinoTrain. I thought it was funny that of all the props to use as old Ranger tech, they had an Overdrive helmet.
Pretty funny with the holograms.
The sudden Megazord practice felt out of place. To me, it's reasonable enough Ziggy thought they should train, figuring Drill-Bot would go large soon anyway. Though it would've flowed better if Drill-Bot had actually run away or something. Also, wouldn't have thought Corinth has a train system.
After a pretty average ep in "THE DOME DOLLS" and sorta weird clip show mash-up, RPM bounced right back to a 4/5.

RPM #21 "NOT SO SIMPLE": A Silver Lining
Nice to see it's Gemma's turn after Gem had his. Although cutting the sentence-finishing was abrupt, it worked well enough.
I genuinely laughed the first time Flynn tried to get Dr. K to trust him and when he asked Gemma about finishing his sentences. XD
Tenaya's 100% robot? LIES!
Warrior Wheel Mark II!
Boy, is Truman gonna rip K from her high horse in a few eps from now... >_>
This episode was....simply brilliant. I was surprised Matt Negrete wrote it (probably the last script before Lynn and Tellegen fully took over), which made it feel like an Eddie Guzelian ep, I thought. Awesome character focus and footage adapting.
And I don't think Series Gold and Silver will be displayed along the wall with the others. :\

Power Morphicon 2
Thought I'd share a few thoughts about the next con, officially announced back in June. It's already getting exciting, as a ton of PR alumni are already on board, including nearly everyone who was at Anime Expo -- and it's still a year away.
I'm glad things are happening a lot smoother this time around. Last time, the huge delay in info from the website lead to me scrambling to be on the forum as much as I could during the final month or so (which wasn't easy during May sweeps) and perhaps a better effort to find a roommate could've been made. For next years con, the details will be out in a more timely manner and the roommate situation -- we shall see. I can't wait to see the schedule, which is bound to be jam-packed, better structured and have panels for a majority of the seasons. It'd be nice to buy something from the merch tables this time as well.
I still don't know what I was thinking -- not bothering to spend even a lunch going through the booklet of my then-new digital camera -- instead figuring it out while using it. It was just one trip after another to that gift shop. -_- Next year though, will go MUCH better and I'll definitely have a stash of rechargeable batteries so I can just keep switching them out when needed (more Rangers = more pics).
One thing that was great about the first PMC was the very intimate feel -- tons of impromptu autograph signing and pics, as fans could casually chat with the PR alumni in the hallways -- whether they were passing by or just hanging out. That's likely to change.
I'll look forward to arriving at the location a day or 2 early and be ready for actors who happen to show up the evening before it starts. And being my 3rd PR gathering, things shouldn't be so freakin' awkward. It'll be great to meet actors again who were at the last PMC and ones making their first appearance at the con, all while hanging out with people I know from Rangerboard and talked to at ACEN. ^_^

RPM #18 "BELLY OF THE BEAST": Blockbuster
This was an excellent episode to cap off the recent Dillon focus and what ultimately became Eddie's last episode. :(
Supervising a huge production value while having someone else write the script was never more obvious than the past 2 eps.
This episode alone felt like more of a mid-season blockbuster than "DARK WISH" ever was -- especially how involved Truman and his men were, the impending doom and Truman and Hicks present for Dr. K's speech for once.
Pretty cool how they were able to change the doomsday machine to become a whale at the last moment and fool the Saw-Bot by forming the new MZ.
And I gotta say I love Tenaya 7's attitude. "KEY TO THE PAST" can't come soon enough.

RPM #17 "PRISONERS": Go For 'Boom Time'
Great episode. Enjoyed the plot again -- and tied in with more of Dillon's backstory only made it better.
It's moments like Ziggy stumbling to get outta the slave clothes that I really appreciate from the writers. It was cute when he and Summer both called front seat. ^_^
Shadow puppets save the day!
The only complaint has to be Saw-Bot getting defeated quickly after the core 5 had so much trouble with him. An entire episode for this (similar to some of the old ones in the later Saban years) would've been nice -- on the other hand, the more time spent on story is great too.
I kinda like Gem and Gemma always showing up already morphed, but it'll be nice when we finally see their morph and the suits case expands to include them (I'm guessing the big group shot at the at the start of the theme is from the next ep).
I just can't say enough how phenomenal it is how well this shows written and how great these characters are. 5/5.
