Why It Rocks

 * 1) This marked the first Power Rangers season to be the start of the Disney Era.
 * 2) The idea of the Wind Students to become the Wind Power Rangers was a great idea.
 * 3) Great intro theme song.
 * 4) The cast for the Rangers is great.
 * 5) The characters are likeable, such as Shane Clarke/Red Ranger, Tori Hanson/Blue Ranger, Dustin Brooks/Yellow Ranger, Hunter Bradley/Crimson Thunder Ranger, Blake Bladley/Navy Thunder Ranger and Cameron "Cam" Watanabe/Green Samurai Ranger.
 * 6) Zurgane, Shimazu and Vexacus are awesome villains.
 * 7) It even had a team-up with the following season, Power Rangers Dino Thunder, as well as for Tori in mh:terribletvshows:Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
 * 8) It aired concurrently with Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger.
 * 9) Awesome fighting scenes.
 * 10) The two-part series finale, "Storm Before the Calm" was the perfect finale!
 * 11) It was starting a trend filming in New Zealand since it's cheaper.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It had some bad episodes such "I Love Lothor".
 * 2) While the rest of the 3 Ninja Storm villains are awesome, Lothor, Marah, Kapri, and Choobo are terribly laughable villains.
 * 3) Some silly and childish moments.
 * 4) Some of the monsters in this season can be unlikable.
 * 5) A CGI guinea pig as the Ninja Storm Rangers's mentor can be a dumb idea for Power Rangers season.
 * 6) The dialogues can be corny at times.
 * 7) They are missing out on a potentially awesome team-up with Power Rangers Wild Force since the Power Rangers production moves to New Zealand.
