This episode was garbage :169: There was nothing that said "new ranger coming" about it. I honestly started thinking he wasn't coming today for some reason, and then bam! Dude comes outta nowhere on some XJ9 stuff? No, just no. The only part of the episode I liked was when the Rangers double back to the base and questioned Gosei (whom they haven't seen since day 1) about why they were never informed about Robo Knight.....who was there for hundreds of years.....to protect the Earth.....what was he doing when Animus was complaining? smh.
And did Gia call Tensou Tensu? Is this a running gag at this point? I honestly thought it was purely a Gosei and the Robot thing but it looks like even the Rangers can't get his name right.
I had the same feeling.
Granted GokaiSilver is likely to have that true 6th feeling, but still If they gave some hype to RoboKnight, it would have made the show better..
Dude,
- Trent became a ranger out of nowhere
- Solaris Knight essentially came out of nowhere
- If memory serves, Merrick and Eric becoming Quantum Ranger did too.
Point being: it's a thing that happens, is all.
They all (Maybe minus Solaris) had build ups, even if a 6th coming wasn't clear..you knew something big was going to happen regardless. For me, his randomness wasn't so much the issue. How they handled Gosei's explanation was annoying. Gosei's answers sound like pure concentrated bullshit.
Watch, whenever something new comes up Gosei is going to say "Oh wurd! I created that before I knocked out hundreds of years ago. I forgot about that. Good lookin out bro."
On top of the BS 'originality', there are no previews! This show is episodic so far, so without promos what would make anyone want to tune in next time? Sure, the episode will be watched but there certainly wouldn't be any sort of drive to see it. 0 RoboKnight heads-up.
Oh, but great idea for Saban to put clips of the the episode on youtube..the day..before..it airs. The fuuu..
