Trying to make too much heads or tails of MMPR will just result in pain. You have stuff like how Alpha was originally built by Masked Rider’s grandfather, but eventually it turned out Zordon had spares. Either that or Zordon was collecting a set (there’s an Alpha-4 in a box when Goldie and Rito are roaming the command center’s basement) and Masked Grandpa was like, “I heard you’re collecting these, but missing a 5 model.” I choose to believe that the reason Alpha is so obedient is Zordon threatens to send him back home, where there will be no audience and he’ll be cleaning up Ferbus poop for a century.

Basically by the end of season 3, the Power Rangers have long since learned to just ignore whatever weird poo poo is going on. Half of them are homeless or temporally misplaced, one of them might be a clone, more than one of them has been a monster, giant sized at that, they've helped Santa Claus, been inside story books, found ancient Ninja powers that predate the concept of Japanese Ninjas, Tommy may or may not be Native American due to adoption? and no one is really sure how old anyone is anymore. Jen would just take one look at this tangled mess of bullshit, scream, and do her best to focus on whatever stupid paradox dragged her there THIS time specifically.

Jen is also good friends with a talking robot owl and spent several hours in a storyarc that involved Jindrax and Toxica. She'd be fine.

If Jen were tasked with trying to straighten all this out she would be pissed. That’s just MMPR. Dino Charge has time travel shenanigans as well, since they sent Ivan and Koda back to their times but they also popped back up in the epilogue with the implication that they can return to the present day at will. She’d love that! Also, Jindrax and Toxica were good villains in both Gaoranger and Wild Force. I really liked them a lot.

They are good villains. They just run on nonsense, as is befitting of the most Team Rocket-esque duo of Power Rangers.

Are they pretty much the only villains that just decided "gently caress it" and walked away from the whole thing?

Speaking of continuity, at some point Alpha 6, a sentient robot, was turned off, disassembled, and then stuffed in a box where he was forgotten about for nearly a decade. He now presumably works an unpaid position in Adam's dojo.

It always bugged me that they just left Aisha in the past. It’s like the girl in Heroes when they go to the bad future and she gets stuck there and then peter goes back and fixes things so that timeline no longer exists, with her in it.

So if history corrected to have Aisha grow up in Africa, did Tanya replace her in history? Or is that another mystery in the "Hobo Rangers" continuum?

What was the behind the scenes reason for that anyway, did Karan Ashley express some desire to leave the show or something?

I met Karen Ashley at a convention years ago and asked her about it. She told me she had no clue they were just writing her off like that. She even found out some of her friends were auditioning for her replacement.

Didn't Johnny Bosch basically get Tracy Cruz the new yellow ranger part in Turbo because she was his girlfriend at the time, then basically the moment he left the show she ghosted him?

Unfortunately that leads to bullshit like people showing up at cons and asking her if she eats baby skulls or whatever. She stopped going to cons for years because people harassed her about it.

On the topic of production schedules, I'd love to see the complete calendar for a season of sentai. They pump out so much content, it's got to be overwhelming. 50ish episodes, movies, live appearances, commercials, ADR, I can't even imagine the pace the actors are running at.

Lightspeed resque was solid overall tbh. It was the first real season disconnected from Zordon and an adjustment but it was pretty cool imo. Supertrain Megazord reveal was the best.
