This week introduced a new writer into the world of Power Rangers, Becca Barnes. Although when my biggest complaint is that I wish the episode had been longer, you know it’s still a fun time. While it’s good that it can condense so much into twenty two minutes you wish they’d occasionally let some of the scenes breathe a bit. That’s the thing about Dino Charge it just runs through ideas like nothing. Maybe they could show more of Chase’s family. I actually wish it had been spread out over two episodes so we could have had more time to spend with Albert and a chance for the Rangers to explore New Zealand. This was a really fun episode of Dino Charge. Helping others on a small scale is just as worthy of praise. Just because you’re scared to fight the big evils of the world doesn’t make you less of a hero. I love how this episode treated Albert and it really hit home the message of the week. He gives the Energem to Keeper but vows he’ll keep New Zealand safe. The Rangers defeat the other monsters and the day is saved, but Albert knows he has to give up the powers. “You two need to learn some respect for the elderly!” You tell em, Albert. Albert leads the monsters into a trap where he actually uses his old man skills to trap them. While the Rangers go off to fight in the megazord Tyler tries to save Albert but his leg is frozen. It’s one of the more natural reactions to ever come out of a Ranger in the franchise. While Albert was used to taking on small time thieves, having to actually fight monsters is too much. One could interpret this as a self demorph but the energems have shown the past few weeks that if the emotional bond is weakened the powers will not hold. The team morphs but Albert is too scared to fight and quickly demorphs. The Rangers are called back into action again and they’re ready for Albert to fight beside them. Where’s the Albert shirtless selfie huh? Where’s that fanservice? You know, all the other male Dino Charge cast members love taking shirtless selfies. He beats them all in a race and on the obstacle course. What is a big deal is Albert training with the Rangers. How could he not be, with all that build up? With so little screen time he just nails every second and it’s obvious from the moment he shows up he’s going to be the Purple Ranger. He runs some wacky tours and talks big about being an adventurer. I didn’t think anyone would be able to challenge Ivan for “Best Ranger in Years” but Albert came damn close. It’s more or less pointless in the grand scheme of the episode, but it’s fun.īut who cares about tourism? We meet the man, the myth, and the world famous in New Zealand, Albert Smith. Is it obvious this was done to get those sweet sweet tax breaks? Sure, but it includes Koda ripping his shirt off to swim with some dolphins. With some editing you could turn it into a commercial or an opening theme in the style of Miami Vice. He gets to show his friends around! We get a mini tour. The Rangers track one of Sledge’s transport pods there and Chase is elated.
