And this all would have been sweeter if we actually saw any of it happen: Orion barely showed up in any of the episodes after his arrival, much less having quality time with his teammates. And Troy taught him the most important lesson of all: how to be a Ranger, which he could have picked up from literally anyone else on the team. Or here’s a crazy idea: you can just ask her out), and that Emma’s empathy helped heal the scars of losing his home. He goes over each one in turn, telling Noah that he showed him that it’s important to fight with your head as well as your hands, Gia taught him that you can be tough and caring at the same time, Jake showed him that even in the darkest times, you can find some humor to see it through (to which Jake claims that everyone loves him… except some really stubborn people, namely Gia. Gia hands him a bag they packed of food and mementos of earth, Emma gives him a flower to plant and completely screw up the ecosystem, and Orion thanks them all for their time together. He tells the others that with the Armada destroyed (except for the fact that it’s not), he needs to return to his homeworld to rebuild (with absolutely no one else there). After the Blue Ranger notes how cool the Armada ships are “when they aren’t trying to destroy us,” (and the others rib on him for a bit) Orion and Emma arrive so the former can say his goodbyes. The intro hits (and it now includes Orion, as well as switching out the scene in the middle of Vekar with one of the Emperor), then we cut to Noah putting the finishing repairs on Orion’s ship. Soon, Emperor Mavro, the father of the Princes and the true leader of the Armada, arrives to take his vengeance, setting the stage for the final battle… You’ll know why I’m making this point later… I repeat, Robo Knight is supposed to be dead at this point. They would engage in various adventures, defeat Prince Vekar and his minions, and even destroy a returning Vrak after their former Sixth Ranger, Robo Knight, sacrifices himself. After meeting Casey, the Rangers would be joined by Orion, a survivor from an Armada attack on the mining world of Andresia and the Super Megaforce Silver Ranger (an alien Ranger with an interesting backstory that never gets properly utilized… where have I seen that before?). Kind of like Mass Effect 3’s extended ending, except at least that actually tried to explain some of the BS plot twists…Īnd that’s the version I’m reviewing today, but first, a plot recap. In what I’m guessing was an effort to placate said fans (or to put things in that were cut for time, I dunno), an extended version of this episode was later televised, combining the last two episodes and adding some additional footage. The backlash from the finale, and the season itself, was so great that Megaforce ended up being Tzachor’s last season as Executive Producer, with Judd Lynn returning to take over duties for Dino Charge and beyond. That filming was rushed, and that the script itself made little sense.Īnd this would be readily apparent once the episode actually aired, as 3 years of fan hype died a painful, screaming, exploding death. Jason David Frank himself would later admit New Zealand (despite, you know, actually living Zeland), prior obligations that couldn’t be put aside in time, David YostĬommented that the invitation itself was a generic template sent out toĪnd a good number of them weren’t invited at all – including those native to That the paycheck offered barely covered the ticket price to fly to New Number of them had to turn it down due to either poor pay (Austin St. Rushed through production, only sending out invitations to returning Rangers mere months before filming.
