ThisPower Rangers Dino Chargereview contains spoilers.

This was all over the place in Mighty Morphin.

Check it, shes goes up and is like, ZOMG I LOVE DINOSAURS!

and hes like

Girl, I am literally the most famous person about dinosaurs get on my level.

And shes all,

SIGN MY BOOK!

and hes all,

Girl thatll be $500 at the next DinoCon LOOK IT UP!

Basically, Shelby is a totally dinosaur fangirl and I love it.

Shes blinded by her preconceived notions of this guy and idolized him for years.

When she finally gets to meet him?

Shelby is still a young adult and isnt quite used to the my heroes are probably super flawed thing.

Funnily enough, Ive seen people act just like this atPower Rangersconventions.

He wants fame and nothing more.

This guy is such a dick, which is rare for Power Rangers.

The episode also asks us, what is fame worth?

Is it worth destroying someones faith in you?

For Dr. Runga, it totally is.

His fame has been slipping away as of late and he wants it back.

To be on top again and he blatantly uses Shelby for this.

Its not a super shocker.

Who wants an archeologist on the cover of your magazine when you could have a Power Ranger!

The guy wants fame so badly hes even tempted by Fury.

This dude is wayyyyy too chill about this.

I guess you could chalk it up to people in this world being that used to monsters.

Or that his own self-preservation instinct is completely overridden by his need for fame.

Instead we get the Rangers busting out their secret identities.

For a guy who was about to broadcast stolen footage to the world they are way too trusting.

But hey, he had the same dream as Shelby so I guess its chill.

At least he doesnt bond with the Energem.

Theyve kept that consistent.

If you dont have a good heart, NO POWERS FOR YOU.

Do Sledge and company know about this?

Can you still harness an Energems powers without bonding to it?

Man, who cares about that?

We get a zord battle in space!

Its so cheesy looking and I love it.

SUCKS TO BE YOU DUDE!

The episode was pretty solid but it left me wanting more.

I wanted Dr. Runga to to face what his actions had done.

I wanted to see the moral repercussions.

Maybe Shelby quietly realizing her heroes arent all theyre cracked up to be.

Its still a fine episode, but with a few tweaks it could have been great.

STRAY THOUGHTS

-Im still amazed the Earth isnt flat.Why they change that?

This is what Im talking about!

I need more of Ivan and Koda interacting since theyre both out of their own time.

-Shelby leads the morph call twice this episode.

This is not the time to save the CGI budget, guys.

-Lets make space his final frontier!

Best quip this season?
