Is that something that Hasbro has been more encouraging of? Or is it just a new model now that Netflix has come into the picture? Let’s go back to the fact that you’re allowed to create serialized stories now. The people who’ve watched the first 11 episodes will have a sense that that things are definitely happening and unfolding and there are very strong questions still to be answered. Those stories where there isn’t a strong forward momentum will interrupt the (later) through lines because the stories gather momentum, and they hurtle towards the (season 2) finale. And to the second, yes, because it’s easier to shoehorn in standalone stories when you’re in you’re setting up mode then it is when everything is paying off. When the season was split I assume the writers went back and made some changes to what was written already? Was most of the “filler” added into what became season one of Dino Fury? There’s a lot more establishing episodes there. Most of those episodes that have just appeared on Netflix are linked, particularly with regards to Tarrick (Void Knight) and Santaura (Void Queen.) I’m really enjoying how that villain plot is unfolding and how it’s being received because I do read Rangerboard, and Twitter.

It was great to have the license to have strong clear arcs and episodes that linked. With the first two episodes of the season that’s because there’s so much stuff you have to cram in at the start doesn’t fit in one 22 minute episode, so it tends to be spread across two.
The only time we could have “to be continueds”, was the last two episodes of the season, or the first two episodes of the season.
Previously, episodes had to be standalone.

We knew what the trajectories were, which I think is one of the strengths of Dino Fury, which is that we are allowed now to do serial threads. We knew what the end of the 44 episodes would be. But there was always a ticking heartbeat because we knew where we were going. A lot of the first season was about getting to know the Ranger characters and getting to know the villains and understanding what makes them tick and what they want so there was some standalone episodes in there. Obviously, things heat up in the second season and intensify. We didn’t want them to see too much like filler so we took various key serial aspects and sprinkled them through the holes, and then plugged new stories into those holes, hopefully, keeping the plates spinning that were the serial threads that we were very keen on being clear. And then, obviously, we needed a finale for the end of the first 22, which we had to create from scratch because that was never part of the overall scheme, which left (more) gaps to fill. Those cards got shuffled into 44 rather than 22, leaving gaps. We have little cards for each episode with a working title, which bits of footage, which monster, which Ranger is the focus character of the episode, and what the kind of key thematic idea for each episode is. When we found out that it was going to be 44, rather than 22 episodes, we’d already written probably two thirds of the season at that stage.
