Review And Impressions
Tonight's episode of HyperForce featured everything you've come to expect from the show and then some, and it perfectly integrated Shattered Grid into the mix.
While the tone was a bit darker than previous episodes due to the subject matter, the characters still brought their charm and humor to the proceedings, creating a pitch-perfect balance. Chloe's love of burritos, Jack's love of puns, and Eddie's love of history that he can't use (thanks to some woeful dice roles) were all high points, and the tension created by Zac and Kyle Higgins (Hicks) kept the stakes high.
Seeing the more upbeat and positive HyperForce Rangers juxtaposed against this rather dire backdrop was delightful, mostly because it gave the Rangers a chance to stretch their characters a bit, and Higgins quickly seemed comfortable in his role, interjecting some harsher reality to the team's dynamic. Once the twist happened though, Higgins seemed to have a ball with it, and that enthusiasm easily translated to the screen.
It was also welcome to see Malika at the table instead of leading the game, and we're happy she gets to do so again next week.
The crew also did a nice job of explaining the history of Lord Drakkon's world and ascension, though it could've been delivered a bit more succinctly. Still, very few complaints in regards to this episode, which brought the best parts of HyperForce and Power Ranger comics together for a one of a kind experience.

Midway through the Rangers, all got burritos thanks to Chloe (played by Strawburry17), and evidently, the burritos also had an effect on fans watching the episode.
After last nights #HyperForce I went to bed and dreamt about burritos lol so I'm going to need @Strawburry17 to post a video on how to make a #HyperForcePink Chloe Burrito lol pic.twitter.com/NMFyS41ZXv

Zac took over the Alpha 55 duties from Malika this week (since she was playing this time around) and he received high marks for his efforts.
Best moment from #HyperForce is @arentweclever doing Alpha 55 voice. Awesome job. ???

There were a few references to Lina Song during the night's episode, which is the character Malika ended up playing during the game. @Rovang gave a handy summary of who that is and why she's important.
For those unfamiliar with Lina Song:

• Played by @hello_malika in #HyperForce
• First appeared in 2025 as an SPD detective, became SPD Green 2 years later
• Older AU version is a colonel for the "Coinless" rebellion in the Newtech City of #ShatteredGrid Drakkon's world

Last night's HyperForce included a few new characters, including a soldier named Fidget. That happened to result in an amazing little sequence involving Vesper, and it was one of the best moments of the night.
“Chloe look fidget spinner” @Strawburry17 @CristinaVee this was a good one #HyperForce

There are some fans that aren't huge on the show being around 3 hours long, but the reaction was still mostly positive.
Even though I fell asleep I actually enjoyed tonight’s #HyperForce. Not that I didn’t the other times I watched it. I still stand behind my only complaint of the show being so damn long. Plus living on the east cost means it’s from 9pm-12am. But I’ll definitely watch next wk.

A few people had some bad luck with the dice last night (including a certain Blue Ranger), but none of their pitfalls stacked up to the GM.
Even with this one bad roll you were all rolling better then Zac #HyperForce

The episode happened to end on a huge cliffhanger that will be picked up next week, and one fan is already having problems sleeping until that cliffhanger is resolved.

One fan decided to take on the role of Vesper on social media, live tweeting the show, and in no way did she expect to win over some fellow Rangers.
I spent the evening making a joke Vesper the Great account and live tweeting tonight’s #HyperForce and uh this happened so
