At the end of the penultimate episode, the Zords were destroyed and the Rangers fell to their death...if we were being realistic. No. They should have been dead from a fall like that onto rubble like that, but they woke up more or less fine the next episode during a repeat of the In Space apocalypse (except not as cool because there wasn't as much side-character development). I got a charge out of the civilian Ranger cameos we did get, although I am sad that a lot of people were excluded due to politics and/or having appeared in Disney-owned seasons. I was surprised to see Leo there since I thought he'd reportedly stated he didn't want to do it again and was only in it for the money for law school at the time. Cassie and TJ were awesome as always, as was Tommy, though I don't understand how there can be more of each of them running around in different costumes. As for the current Ranger team themselves, I did appreciate how the Red and Silver Rangers boarded the emperor's ship and used the controls to blow up the armada...though I'm not sure why they thought it would be over after that; it's like they didn't think there would also be ground troops, especially since that was all Troy had dreamed about. He is one Red Ranger that I just don't know how to feel about, or any of them for that matter. For a season (two, really) based on copying Ranger powers, the Rangers themselves seemed not to be that original or interesting themselves. Furthermore, I haven't seen MMPR yet but it seems to have been
overshadowed by the announcement of the official movie in 2016, even
though it has music by Wasserman and the real Zedd and Zordon actors.
I've also seen a bunch of fan shorts for seemingly unrelated projects.
Speaking of branding, it sucks that Cartoon Network's Clone Wars is being cancelled halfway through a season just because Disney owns the rights to Star Wars now. They could just air it on there instead, but no, they had to cancel it so they can do a show that probably won't be as good.
