Why have a good cable package to watch your favorite show when you can Stream it for free or download a torrent? Dino Charge is aware of this and tries to be nothing more than what it is, and what it is is a vast improvement over series like Super Megaforce, basically it's relatively simple and non gimmicky. The only gimmicks are the toys it markets, at least until they announce the Dino Charge VS MMPR special.
It's still pretty dumb though, still it's that same kind of dumb that fueled early MMPR. As far as modern kids shows aimed at the 6-12 crowd goes, you could do worse, Way Way Worse... *everything on Nickelodeon* It's not a great show by any means, it just isn't, but it is worth a stream on Netflix or Hulu (for adult fans), but if you're a parent of a kid or are a kid yourself and your parents let you watch TV (if you're a Kid) or you'll let your kids watch TV (if you're a parent), will let you watch TV, Check your local listings. It's a straight up kids show and feels like the 90s all over again...

YE1: Get this crap off me before it... Drrrrr..... mmmmmmmmmmm......
As I was saying it's the 90s all over again at a level today's youngsters can relate to even if they were born in 2000 or later. So what's the story?
Keeper gave the Energems to dinosaurs after being chased through space for them by Sledge. Millions of years later, five teens get five of them and go and find the other five. They already found one a few episodes in (the Ankylosaurus one), but an episode later, The villains found the Gold Pterodactyl one. The story can only get better from here. because in a few months we'll see the Gold Ranger.
It's not the most exciting story in the world, but they tried to make an epic story with Megaforce and it sucked, It goes back to MMPR's roots and has very goofy humor and sometimes even stories.. The characters are pretty good with my favorites being Koda (the Blue Ranger), and Riley (Green). The villains are so over the top and have serious character that I wonder (like with RPM and Go-Onger) if this was a deconstruction of Kyoryuger.
In closing, I've been to harsh in my initial thoughts and this is actually a above decent season which you should at least watch on Netflix or Hulu if you're going to give it a chance after the hackjob Saban did since 2011. I give this a 2.75 Energems out of 4.
See you all at the end of the year for my thoughts on the season as a whole... But Next week We say goodbye to ToQGer and say hello to Ninninger...
