   I really didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me.   
   Basically because we have mysteries: who is the only one   
   Grumm is afraid of? Who is Mora/Morgana? What actually   
   happened to Doggie's wife? Why has the unstoppable Troobian   
   war machine come to a dead halt at Earth? Has A-Squad been   
   turned evil, destroyed, or imprisoned? Why has Wild Force   
   actually had more rangers-in-space action (Forever Red) than   
   "Space Patrol" Delta so far?   
      
   Also, despite having a GrummMobile and being unable to   
   defeat Cruger, he's scored some pretty good victory points   
   so far: got the transwarp doohickey from Piggy early on,   
   grabbed a dump truck full of diamonds from under B-Squad's   
   nose, snagged lots of iridium while SPD was in Kyoto . . .   
   heck, the only thing he didn't get was "the EEEVIL" stone   
   from the bookstore. His track record, PR-wise, isn't bad for   
   a villain.   
      
   What we need now are less throwaway episodes and some more   
   answers to the questions SPD posed. And get on with the new   
   rangers, new megazord, blast buggy (if we're going to get it   
   over here), and Dino Thunder team-up, overall of which I   
   thought was an excellent season, with plenty of references   
   to the whole universe of PR through the ages.   
      
   SPD isn't bad to me, it's just . . . bland right now. It   
   needs to work on its strengths. It could come back for a   
   great second half. Otherwise, it will be one of those   
   seasons that we lock in the basement, and ignore its feeble   
   attempts to bang on the door and come out, just like with   
   grandma.  :)   
      
   All IMO, of course.
