| First episode without Bruce!...Yay!.
- The whole Theo no shoes thing was stupid to me
- So is it Sokado? or Zorkado?
- Fran & RJ = Awsomeness.
- Okay so you turn into a Wolf and attack Fran then it goes away and that's it? you just go to save your friends?....wasn't feelings that part.
-They should have gave a BG story on the Wolf Morpher
- Once again i am confused by Dai Shi/Jarod thing who's in control?
- I like Monkiwi *runs*
- Laser Knees and Arms? WTF!
- Yes!! Flit back!!.
-They followed Geki to even the part were Rio got the Dorinki?...Awesomeness but i am tired of Jarrod.
Overall, I'm giving this a 8 it could have been better off as a two parter. |

| Laser knees=F*** yes.
I thought the episode was painfully average. I hope they explain the Wolf Morpher's origin in a later episode. |

| What other reasons were there for you think it was average? Just curious. We need to start up some type of conversation, lol.

| | I personally found this episode average because as far as new Ranger debuts go, this one wasn't really anything special, like they never made it a big deal. You just don't get that special fangasam feeling. There's was no build-up to Wolf Ranger at all, it was just, "RJ's animal spirit is under control now, now he's going to use that morpher that just been sitting in his cabinat for some time." |

It felt rushed, more than anything. "FRAN HELD MY HAND! I'M A RANGER NOW!" irked me slightly, although I liked that Fran was useful. Overall, it felt too compacted and should've been a two parter at the most. |

You and I have seen Gekiranger, and we both know how semi-complex the plot was. Gou was a whole new character, while RJ is already a main character of the series. The build-up started in GOAC (werewolf-wise), and it continued through BTTB and FDFA. And about the Wolf Morpher sitting in the closet...I'll give you credit for that part. I still say if he had have used earlier, it would have been too soon. However, they could have added more plot/character development if he were WR earlier.
Technically (and I've said this several times), RJ isn't in complete control of his spirit. Like Gou, it's gonna take an internal battle within to defeat his cursed Beast form. We'll see that in TFTS (lesson 27).

I have to give them credit though, it's Sentai plot was extremely busy, and introducing a new Ranger in a one parter was risky. They pulled it off IMO (with a few ticks here and there). I think originality was the key here.
I'll credit you for the "Hand to hand" motive (it reminded me a lot of the "tear that magically brings back life." What would you have rather have happened: Hand to hand? Or the usual, "look within yourself" route? IF it were a two parter, the internal fight would have been pure epic!

Yes. Would have. But it wasn't. But, I'll forgive it if they properly explain the Wolf Morpher in the episodes to come. |

| Did any of you happen to stop think...perhaps the same "mystery person" made the Wolf Morpher also?

There was no doubt in my mind that the mystery person made the Wolf Morpher. I'm just curious as to why he'd only unleash it now. I'd understand it if he was being a good teacher by holding back, but why bother using it after having problems with his spirit and solving them, instead of just solving the problem and wait still? |

I have a feeling this "mystery person" could be Cam since there was a rumored Team up but a crossover like in PROO can still happen. |

| Well, there could be a thousand reasons why he waited until now. Will we find out next episode or in the future...that's up to what the writer' did.

Yeah, we've seen Geki, but my problem is that there was no set-up Wolf Ranger. They did a good job building up the Werewolf, but Wolf Ranger came out of nowhere, there was no hinting at it nor impliing it. Heck, Ninja Storm did a better job setting up Cam as the Green Samurai Ranger then Jungle Fury did for Wolf Ranger.

I know, I know but the scene still played as, "My spirit is under control now! Hmmm...... maybe I should go use that morpher now?" |
