Things get virtual with daddy issues on this week’s Power Rangers Dino Super Charge!

ThisPower Rangers Dino Super ChargeReview contains spoilers.

They accidentally ran an episode of theclassic seriesVR Troopersinstead!

Well, since we didnt get an episode ofPower RangersI may as well review this one.

He tries to defend himself, but Ninjabot is too fast.

No, it couldnt be Ryans Dad…

It must be someone else.

Ryan stumbles back to the lab, the others unaware that Ninjabot placed a virus in Tylers virtualzier.

I should take a moment to point out, what is withVR Troopersand crystals?

All of a sudden the Professor is obsessed with these things called Energems.

No sooner than Ryan calls out, Trooper Transform!

hes overcome by a dinosaur inspired virus.

Ryan cant control himself and he lashes out at the other Troopers.

JB tries to use his Hypno Saber Command attack but Ryan shakes it off with ease.

Kaitlin is busy fighting an army of Ultra Skugs.

All hope seems lost… Until the new Trooper returns.

Now okay, I know Ive talked about this withVR Troopersbefore, but the footage integration is getting ridiculous.

I get the color sort of matches Ryans but… the footage doesnt even come close to matching.

The American costumes still look awful.

The new Trooper attempts to calm Ryan down and its revealed that Tyler Steele is the new Trooper.

Ryan is astounded hes really touching his father for the first time in ten years.

The reunion is put on hold as Kaitlin calls for backup.

Tyler helps Ryan unlock his new Dino Trooper mode and they rush into battle.

Ryan says he can handle this and transports the Ultra Skugs into Virtual Reality.

Making quick work of the Ultra Skugs, Ryan summons the new Troopertron to take down Grimlords monster.

Dino Super Drive alert!

Troopers, prepare for Dino Super Drive Mode!

The day is saved and Tyler lets Ryan in on just whats happened to him.

I know most of their fights take place in Virtual Reality, but this excuse is kinda weak.

Ill hold off until next week for full judgment though.

It ends with the classic VR Troopers quote weve all come to know and reference.

I love you, Dad.

Defending Dino Heartwas a solid episode forVR Troopers.

I know I might be over rating it here, but Im giving this episode a solid 4/5.

Not the best, but we finally get some much needed plot progression.

Wait, this wasnt an episode ofVR Troopers?

It was an episode ofPower Rangers Dino Super Charge?

Stray Thoughts

New Zealand Reference Counter: 0.

Seriously, should I just retire this thing?

I love the subtle bits of characterization with Heckyl and Snide.

Heckyl likes to plan things out, take it slow.

Snide has no patience.

Good attention to detail.

Kods apparently LOVES eating crayons.

Did anyone else get aTrial By Firevibe when Tyler was getting judged for his target practive?

You see that face when Chase takes the green charger instead of Riley?

Lovers quarrel a comin!

You mean its LOSING time.

I hypnotized him… OR ANGRITZED HIM.

Im glad the Rangers never aging with the Energems FINALLY means something to the overarching plot.

Okay but really, let Kendall fight, especially since its ALL American footage.

Let her show up in the Megazord!

Is Tylers Dad gay for Rusty?
