Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Here’s the discussion thread for this Saturday’s new episode

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
The episode was pretty slow at first but got interesting by the end. Its hard to really get a feel for the show. But it seems like they put us right in to the adventure and are explaning it as they go. They gave us some good exposition at the end.
Its not that unbelievable that Ollie and Amiela would blindly accept being Power Rangers since they are widely known by this point. One of the problems the older series had was that they always acted like Power Rangers never exisited for outside the team up. That has obviously changed in recent years. I like that they worked in the Morphing Masters. The battle wasn't that great but was really justthere to introduce the new Rangers and show off their new powers. It was a backdoor to get to the exposition. I give them credit for setting up their characters. The whole episode really told us all we needed to know about Ollie and Amiela. We only got to see Ollie for five minutes and learned his entire backstory. I would say setting up the characters and backstory was handled well and now they can really expand on the action and future of the story. It will be interesting to learn just who Void Knight is and how he got his armor. |
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I got a VR Troopers feel in the beginning. Where Amiela was at work. What I think appears to be a website. Reminded me of Kaitlyn working ata newspaper. This would be the 2021 equivalent.

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
It was okay. Not as strong of a start as Beast Morphers. But there was nothing downright stupid. So I am not worried about the show going back to sucking yet. I am going to have to see more episodes to really judge. The characters weren't dumb and didn't annoy me so thats a good step.

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I'm not feeling it. It took too long to get the to action. They were just getting to the good part with the backstory when it ended. Everything happened too fast. It seemed pretty convenient thst Void Knight would show up just as Ollie and Amiela happened to be there. But the show could easily get better. So I am not saying the season is bad yet. Way too early.

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I give them credit for really playing up things that speak to how the world is now. Amiela working for a website is very current. And we saw Ollie mention selfies. Little things lime that f ally relate to the target audience and some of the teens that might be watching.

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
The series has really been good with that since the Saban Era. If nothing else all those seasons tried to sound current to the world we live in now.

I remember back in the Lightspeed /Galaxy team up when the Secretary told Hannah that monsters didn't exist. When we knew monsters had been around for years at that point. I am glad the show no longer ignores this. |

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I was expecting them to say the Dino Spores led to the extinction of the Dinosuars. Glad they didn't since that was already dealt with in Dino Charge.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Well Dino Charge was a AU so it wouldn't contradict that. But the show probably didn't need a repeat of the story.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
It does feel like a step down from Beast Morphers. But it the episode was satisfactory.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I think they were clearly trying to properly intoduce Ollie and Amiela before they did anything else.That's why they waited until the end for the backstory. Can't blame them for wanting to establish the characters. Its hard to have a show if the viewer doesn't have a reason to care about the characters.

Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Anyone find it wierd how the Morphing Masters just turned the Dinosuars into statues?
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I did notice that. Perhaps it wasn't supposed to be literal?
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I really didn't enjoy the episode.Wasn't exciting enough for a premiere and I really don't care about the new Rangers yet. Felt like there was too much getting from point A to point B just for the shake of things.As opposed to making sense. Hopefully next week is better.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I'm always disappointed when they waste a Dinosuar theme by not going back to MMPR.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
One odd part I forgot to mention.. Anyone else think it was wierd how Ollie and Amelia didn't seem worried about following Void Knight into the tomb? It was almost like they were more nervous of going inside the tomb then the random.heavy they new just entered.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but... "Destination Dinohenge" is actually a good premiere. I also liked the Knight theme. Nice. Very nice.
Another thing I like is how they set up the origin of the Dino Fury Ranger powers. Also, it took us THIS LONG TO FINALLY ACTUALLY SEE THE MORPHING MASTERS. Oh and for the first time since like... EVER, we have a PRU where the original Rangers passed away. It'd be interesting if they somehow manage to link this season to the MMPR universe (which I bet they are going to somehow) while having it be in its own story. And please Hasbro, let's NOT have the Rangers defeat the villains by committing genocide and then doing a time travel mission to undo what they did because... reasons. |
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
That would just be a rerun anyway. I doubt its an AU since they seem to know about Power Rangers.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Kinda of random to suddenly have the Morphing Masters involved now.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
The new Red Ranger seems like a nicer version of Andros. An alien that just about lost his whole civilization.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Something this felt off. Everything just happened so randomly. Oh well, if things don't get better..At least I still have the Boom Comics.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I first saw this episode when it came on. I like how they used the morphing Masters in this one. It was a good start. I can't wait for the next one. ;)
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I was pretty let down. Doesn't live up to the Beast Morphers premiere at all.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
It definitely feels like a smaller world then Beast Morphers. But its too soon to judge this season.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I think the Morphing Masters reference wasn't needed. They should have had them just be their own characters.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Yeah, its odd they finally made a call back to that. Its as odd as Gosei randomly mentioning he was Zordon's protege in Mega Mission.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
The Dinohenge name is a way too on the nose allusion to Stonehenge. It was also wierd how the Morphing Masters turned the dinosaurs into statues.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I could have done without that part. The rest of the episode was fine though.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
The Dinosuar Stone stuff was bizzarre. At least the Galaxy Beasts didn't have to be zords forever...And were only turned to stone temporary. And that was a vilkian who turned them to stone.
The rest of the episode was okay. We will get a better sense for the status quo in episode 2. |
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
Another missed opportunity to bring back MMPR.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I wish Tommy was the mentor like he was in DinoThunder.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
It did seem kind of random that these characters just happened to be there at the same time and just happened to get powers. I mean the Red Ranger was asleep for 65 million years lol.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I feel like this season is going to be low key, since its likely the last Sentai adaption. They are likely just playing out the deal with Toei.They already went alk out with Beast Morphers.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
It was a decent episode. Not realoy a great premiere. But we have a long way to go.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
The main villain feels lacking so far.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I am looking forward to seeing the zords.
|
Re: Destination Dinohenge Episode Discussion
I was disappointed after the way Beast Morphers started. If was wierd how the two teens just stumbled upon the tomb and powers. Very random, even for PR.
