SPD had the biggest potential of any PR season. What I don't think was noticed was that, besides Ron returning, so did another old MMPR veteran, Mark Hoffimeir, and his abscense from MF and OO has shown.
There is not ONE fan who will say the first fifteen or so episodes sucked, they were the best in terms of production and acting the show had ever been in years. There was a clear, concentrated direction heading into "Shadow", everything played off of one another.
Once Kruger's arc was half-way concluded, they gave it a rest, and unfortunatly, gave everything else a rest, and went into typical "PR autopilot" mode. Padding out filler upon filler with whatever "firsts" the team could think of doing and Dekaranger translations.
A breif return to form came with Sky's arc ending in Jackie's masterpeice "Reflections", followed by the team again "giving up" (Kalish's theme for each season is to always make the Rangers eternally vulnerable and insecure rather than grasp different strengths per episode) and being sent away to train, and then came the mess of the team-ups.
Things again returned to normalcy with the last three episodes of the seasonm, to an extent. There not as good as the earlier episodes, but on scale of AMBITION, this was PR as original as you could get with this team. Granted, a lot of the concepts such as A-Squad were poorly rushed and underdeveloped as traitors, but at least we got solid signs of ingenuity in PR.
OO is the least offensive of the Kalish seasons, it has a story that can be followed, one part of a team-up was solid even if the other was'nt, but the characers are poorly acted save four and are the same irredeemable sods every other seasons since SPD has had.
And people hate Bruce because he told the fandom point blank "you guys dont know anything", when HE became the **** who phoned-in most of his later seasons and showed more incompetance at the job of handling PR than anyone else that had worked for it. Do your homework
