                           Comments

Space Patrol Delta seems to have begun with a bang. The visuals, characters, and setting  seem well put together. I like how the characters are not the real first string Power Rangers. They have to deal with being the B Squad.  I actually wouldn't mind keeping A Squad around for awhile so B Squad has to deal with this more.  Having A Squad  have the same kind of hemletless as the Space Rangers was an excellent nod to the past. Jack and Z seem like interesting characters. Since I already watched part 2 ( and of course no to mention that everyone has know about them for months), I know they become Rangers. They will provide an interesting contrast to the other B Squad members. The stunts in this episode were well designed. I give the stunt crew a lot of credit. There was plenty of excellent unmorphed fights here. I like the new morphers. Its a neat idea having it be able to pronounce guilt and capture monsters. Katheirne looks like an interesting character. Boom looks like he will be the comic relief. Commander Crugar doesn't seem corney at all and plays the role of the mentor well. Emprorer Gruumm looks like an awesome villian. I hope he can keep his bad ass nature. It will be interesting to get to know him. I like the Ranger's unmorphed powers. They are very interesting, I wish they would explain why they have them. All in all an excellent start. I hope we get some excellent stories out of this season. I would love to see some good story archs with this premise.
