Review:
I love the speech made by Shelby. When it is a Shelby episode, you know it because she is every where. I like that Dr. Runga is not a caricature completely. He learns a lesson but it is not too blatant. I hope no one thought Dr. Runga was going to be the next Purple Ranger in watching this episode. Also, I didn't like the CGI for Plesio Zord, looks inexpensive and not as detailed as the Japanese CGI. And the Japanese CGI has been criticized for its simple-ness. Shelby being inspired by a paleontologist is not much of a stretch so this episode worked well but we did learn more information to support her character.
