Looking at the Sentai for Dekaranger, I think Broodwing character (can't think of his Sentai name) was good enough to be the main villain instead of some greedy arms dealer like he became in SPD.
The main producer (Kalish) left for one season, and as such whoever was left in charge decided to do away with a completely original main villain and used most of the Sentai footage. That's why we got the Master instead of something lame. And I was thinking, this is awesome, why can't they do this every season? Kalish returned the next season, and we went right back to the original villain in Flurious, even though he had some/most aspect of Raja.
I know some Ranger fanatics have been calling for Kalish's permanent removal for some time, but it does make me wonder if he was gone what it would be like. Maybe he's advocating for something that we're getting that's not so obvious that if he was gone it would be an even bigger diseaster. Guess we'll never know.
