Well, I wasn't expecting a partial clip show. But It was nice to reflect on how much the DinoThunder Rangers have changed. The clips were good in recapping the whole show for the most part. Anyone tuning it late should have had a good enough recap to prepare themselves for the finalie. Plus we got a cool battle at the end. I didn't expect the Rangers to let Trent off so easily but he has done a lot of good for them since jioning the team. Its just a shame that a great story arch was missed with this Trent secret plot, I mean it could have been more than just an excuse for a clip show. The plot really could have stretched out for a few episodes. Or it could have been as part of a rivalery between Trent and Conner that never really developed but could have easily. But I suppose there isn't much time to do much more with the plot. The Mesogog/Mercer split was interesting. Most people like myself expected it to happen. This allows Mesogog to be killed off without pissing off the censors ( they don't like it when human characters die on kids tv). I would have liked a better build up to the finalie in the final episodes but more stuff has already happened this year than last season in Ninja Storm. So things kind of balence out that way. It will be interesting to see how things pan out heading towards the fanilie. I am disapionted that Zeltrax was not in this episode outside of the clips . Obviously there wasn't room for him but it would have been nice to have him around last few eps. I am sure we will get some resolution with him over the next few weeks. The ending zord battle was short but had a few good action moments there. I know a lot of people were disapionted not to see the Blizzard Force Megazord. But they really didn't have any fottage of it. It is a shame the replicant plot (which isn't the Blizzard Force Megazord) couldn't have been expolited more. But all in all a good episodes , not a spectacular one but a good one none the less.
