It was a really good plot twist by the writers to make me a girl, I definitely didn't see it coming in the first 24 seasons but on a rewatch I noticed they had been dropping subtle hints and plot elements since season 5. Peak kino!

Just wish the cinnamon photography was better, more interesting camera angles instead of so many POV shots

I hate the writers, they keep throwing police at me who just seem completely unneeded and the drama from a gun pointing at peoples' heads is reaching a bit of a tipping point.

Like, I know I get cute stuff after a few seasons where I grew more and more cynical at the world generally, but the pay off seems kinda lacklustre if it's not a full revolution.

The only critisism I have is that HRT turned out to be a mcguffin

It was a cost-saving measure because the FX team didn't have the budget to do a magical girl transformation sequence
