Uh…
Were three episodes away from the finale ofDino Super Charge.

Wrath of the QueeninPower Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.
Carter faces off with Queen Bansheera in the Skull Cavern, along with a tearful end to Loki.
A Calm Before the StorminPower Rangers Time Force.
See what all of those have in common?
Theyre setting up the finales.
Theyre starting to pay off the plots the whole season had been building up to.
Theyre raising the stakes.
(The face you see in your nightares.
Koda learns to love.)
What doesDino Super ChargesWorgworlddo?
Well… Koda has a robotic caveman friend!
The city is turned into zombies for a hot second but theyre quickly cured.
The only stakes raising moment comes at the very end when Sledge returns and destroys Lord Arcanon and Singe.
I guess thats supposed to be our oh shit moment but it just feels hollow.
What was the point of Arcanon?
What purpose did he serve that impacted the overall story?
What did we really know about him as a character?
He was solely a vehicle for the plot… A plot that he barely featured in.
How is this good set up for the endgame?
How is THIS the endgame ofDino Super Charge?
Were still messing around with wacky plots of the day.
Nothing feels like its coming to a resolution.
Theres no end for these characters in sight besides the general goal of defeat evil.
Maybe this episode could have addressed what Koda might do after the villains are defeated.
What is his purpose in the world?
Which promptly goes nowhere.
This aspect may have had room to breathe if it wasnt for the somewhat random zombie element.
(In which Kendall personifies the audience.)
Seriously,Dino Super Chargejust loves sticking two to three episode ideas into one.
But its all good, the wacky robot saves them!
Why are we still spending time on useless filler style plots that dont seriously develop the characters?
Why arent we setting up some character stuff for the finale?
Why is Zenowing nearly useless not two episodes after he joins the team?
Zenowing is the ultimate embodiment of that.
Yeah, yeah, hes like the tenth Ranger or whatever, but you get what I mean.
Why wasnt Zenowing the mentor this season instead of Keeper?
At least then him becoming a Ranger would have had some emotional weight.
God, finale endgames used to be Chip Lynns thing.
It was his calling card withPower Rangersfans.
Instead of that, we get wig jokes and more food humor.
Come on,Power Rangers.
Give me a reason to care about these characters and their world.
Stray Thoughts
Whoa, Spikeballs having voices is weird.
Who invents a robot caveman before a robot dinosaur?
-It isnt Halloween, is it?
This feels like a more appropriate Halloween episode then the one we got a few weeks back.
