Power Rangers Megaforce

Saw the first episode in HD (didn't even know I had Nickelodeon in HD now), and I'm loving the show! I loved Goseiger as well, and it looks like Saban's keeping their word that they're staying more true to the original series. (At least I thought I remembered reading they were doing so for Power Rangers Samurai.)

I think it's awesome they're incorporating Gokaiger into it so early, and I'm curious to see how they make use of those early Sentai.

Morphing sequence is a bit cooler. Reminds me of Dino Thunder with the back flip, though it wasn't changed that much. Cool that you could still see the cards and that they say "GOSEI RED", et cetera.

No "gacha" when opening the Tensouder, or whatever it's called now. And nice job keeping the names, somehow, though they made Datas "Tensou," now pronounced "Tensu." Wouldn't have killed them to include a pronunciation note. Looking forward to "Giant Tensu."

I'm not really seeing the Skick/Landick/Seaick parings. And I doubt we'll ever see a "Green" Megaforce ranger.

Pink is FINE.

And you didn't miss the references to the very first episode of Power Rangers, did you? Of course you didn't.
