Calvin is unable to fight back against Galvanax's latest monster. How can he save the Rangers???

I rated it "1 - Poor - show is out of gas" however if you watched the episode you would see that the one thing it has plenty of is gas.

I want to like this show, but it's been going downhill since it's premiere. Some inconsistencies are starting to show up. I'd have to watch it again, but didn't we see the Yellow Ranger driving his truck in the second episode?
The way they handled the webbing made no sense to me. Our weapons don't work against it, yet the Yellow Ranger can deflect it with his sword. He can also easily pull it off with his hands, which is something the Blue Ranger apparently couldn't do with the arm he shot the blaster with... It's not like he was using a new weapon/power to do this. He was just randomely able to do things the others couldn't...
Doesn't help that it seems Brody's actor's bad acting is rubbing off on the rest of the cast.
Can't say that I'm a fan of the comedic relief duo. Their acting has been pretty poor since the start, but they're becoming harder to ignore.

I liked it. Cool to see the first auxiliary Zord/Megazord combination.

The continued issue that I have with this show is that it continues to pander towards the youngest age in the demographic split. I understand that Power Rangers is meant for kids - I totally do. I'm not arguing that. But as a show that's being written for kids - you're insulting them with how poorly you're writing a kids show.
There was numerous fart jokes, a poop joke from THE VILLAINS, and another poor performance by the actor that plays Brody.
Power Rangers has proven that it can be better than this (Dino Charge, Super Samurai, Megaforce). It's a shame that it continues to trend in such a poor direction (Samurai, Super Megaforce, Dino Supercharge).
Here's to hoping when the Gold Ranger premieres the show takes a better turn (mostly because Chip will be writing the Gold Ranger premiere episode). Otherwise, I'll call for a new writing crew (and even a new executive producer) at the end of Ninja Super Steel (pending). Because the fans, the actors, and the franchise itself deserves better.

I hope Power Rangers in 2019 is better then this. This Power Rangers season fells off. It's ok to some what good. Lets put it this way. Megaforce was better then this. May be Ninja Steel can get better?? May Be???

It seems they are trying to be intentionally bad? Remember when it seemed it could be for a young teenage audience? Not any more. This is like the third or 4th straight season it is crap.
I am just tired of it. I get it, for kids but some of this crap is unforgivably bad. Every actor is terrible. They seem to have no idea what their role is. It's just everyone is so bland and lack personality. This has Megafarce written all over it.
ONE more episode then I will quit with it till 2019. Just enough. Where is the fun in power rangers. Where are these big awesome moments. They have just been eradicated by poor scripts and actors.
It seems the past 4 seasons, the actors lack chemistry but the script is also very very very bad.

This was actually one of their better episodes, even if it had problems. I'm now convinced that Cosmo Royale has multiple heads capable of multiple emotions. Victor and Monty are the difference between comical and trying to hard to be overly comical! Calvin's driving fears felt moderately similar to my own, but it failed to connect. Tangleweb had plenty of eating-based one-liners, but he is no Terror Toad (Mighty Morphin' reference)! The odd thing is that the debut of Rumble Tusk had ZERO IMPACT!!! There was no genuine elephant reference prior to the release! Also, "Legendary"? How are these Zords with inexplicable origins "Legendary"? Still need to kick this up a notch, Saban & Chip!
P.S.: "Ele-fun"!?! Did they rip that from Zyuohger!?!?
Vash says
The Rumble Tusk felt as if it had no importance. I was watching clips on you.....tube about the Psycho Rangers v Space Rangers and you see the difference in the acting. It's as if the Rangers struggled to accomplish things. In the past 4 years, the Rangers are simply given everything. Even in Samurai Jayden had to earn things. He had an awesome rival in Dekar.
We use to see Rangers running towards a battle and the shots showed the action with less camera cuts. But still this is it, next episode of bust for me till 2019. I enjoy my toys immensely, but the episodes need to give me a reason to care about future purchases. I feel little attachment.
