Power Rangers Megaforce

I started watching, and finished watching, and I'm still wondering about what I saw. It has got to be the wackiest writing I've seen! Lots of things reminded us of the good old morphing days, but all the rest seemed sewn together in some kind of crazy quilt of evil! I mean, there's barely any explanation for the new power's origin, why they are sporting obviously pirate uniforms and zords, and even fighting styles. I guess the super sentai fans all know why, but it is supposed to be an independent show from that right? To make it worse, they had all this footage from the "legendary rangers", but decided to simply make new one with the megaforce uniform. Why? Couldn't they just create a storyline with new rangers - but from the past - and enrich even more its history? Anyway, this season just came out as a wasted opportunity. The old super sentai uniforms seen in this season (as the ones that weren't shown) had all great stories behind them, or even new ones to be imagined. But the creators just grazed upon them, and preferred to stay with a very simple script.
