Dino Super Charge returns for a useless epilogue.
ThisPower Rangers Dino Super Chargereview contains spoilers.
Weve gotten them for years.
So I assumed this, likeSuper Samurais holiday clip show, would take place before the finale.
Yeah, the airdate would make it a bit odd, but whatever.
This Christmas clip show episodes takes place post series.
We know it right from the start where we see real live dinosaurs with Santa hats on…. Why?
Why was this set post finale?
You know, like what happened to Koda and Ivan after they were left in past.
See, that would have been interesting.
Instead, Keeper brings Koda and Ivan to the present because Christmas is the best season for time travel.

We then are treated to series of flashbacks to… wait…
I feel something coming on… Are these…Misty water colored memories of Dino Charge reviews past?
Powers From The Past works so well because it takes its time.
It slowly introduces everything but leaves a few questions dangling.
When will the other Rangers show up?
Are Chase and Koda already Rangers?
Where did Sledge and company go after Keepers attack?
These are great little hooks to keep the audience watching.
We never did get an answer to that Sledge question, did we?
Breakout was a ton of fun and was perfectly paced.
Hey, remember when aPower Rangersepisode could solely be awesome because it wasnt likeSamuraiorMegaforce?That didnt last long.
Lets talk about Singe, our new recurring villain.
I dig this guy.
First off, hes not just another monster from the prison.
Hes an alien from somewhere out in the galaxy whos traveled to Earth after hearing about the Energems.
Its the tiniest bit of worldbuilding, but Ill take it.
Need I say more?
Lets hope Singe and Furys rivalry has more progression then the Sledge/Fury dynamic did over the course ofDino Charge.
See what I mean?
This episode was a joy from start to end.
I didnt even mention everything great in this episode because it was all so good!
AlrightDino Super Charge, youve got my attention again.
Lest anyone think Im a a hater, there were parts ofDino Super ChargeI loved.
Chase ended up being my favorite overall character.
Oh sure, Ivan is hilarious, but Chase ended up with the most development.
How can you not like a guy who stands up to an evil alien to save his family dog?
I had so much hope for him.All he ever really got was the fandom reading him as super gay.
All the feelings Riley had for Burt came rushing back the moment he laid eyes on him.
He remembered their long walks in the forest.
The gentle kisses after a long day practicing for the next marathon.
The rage that consumed him when Burt moved on.
If that had actually happened?
Finale be damned,Dino Super Chargewould have gotten a much higher score overall.
I am easily swayed by the gay.
I dont know what to say aboutDino Super Chargeat this point.
Its plots of the week are usually fairly solid, but developing a long running arc completely eludes it.
If youre just intoPower Rangersfor wacky plots of the day, thenDino Super Chargeis doing pretty solidly.
The cast is great and I do like the characters.
But man, even this wacky Christmas plot cant be saved.
Were beyond the pale at this point.
We live in a world where DINOSAURS ARE STILL ALIVE.
We know this episode will never matter.
As I watched it I struggled to pay attention.
It gave me no reason to care.
The damn thing doesnt even work as an epilogue to the show.
Eh, lets end it with a wacky food joke.
Who cares abour the characters the fans have grown to love, lets just throw food at them.
All that planning… for nothing.
Better luck next year,Power Rangers.
