Mistakes
- In the recap of the previous episode, the shot of Darkonda and Ecliptor teleporting away lacked their normal teleportation effects. (00:29)
- The video of Karone’s kidnapping now clearly showed Darkonda’s back as he carried Karone away, with his laugh being recognizable. (02:06)
- An establishment shot of the Delta Megaship inside it’s dock, lacking the Astro Megaship, was shown just before a shot inside the Astro Megaship. (02:48)
- Andros pointed to a red, non-ringed planet, which was meant to be Onyx. However, Onyx had rings. (02:59)
- After the camera angle changed, Andros was pointing to a red, ringed planet. (03:00)
- Parked near a building on the street, beside two Quantrons and two Tengas, was a speeder vehicle much smaller than a Velocifighter, but after a Quantron would later hop into its cockpit, it was apparently supposed to be a Velocifighter, most likely a close-up Velocifighter cockpit not intended to be shown in the establishment shot of the town. (03:22)
- Psycho Yellow’s monster form appeared in the Onyx Tavern. (05:29)
- The atmosphere of Onyx happened to have perfect temperature, pressure, and composition for unprotected humans. (10:16)
- Andros swiped the keycards from up Darkonda’s right “sleeve” and angered him by showing him the keycards, but after shoving Andros back, Darkonda then checked his arm and was shocked to find the cards missing. (10:23)
- Stag Beetle briefly appeared twice in the same shot, just before the Red Ranger rode his Galaxy Glider up a flight of stairs. (11:07)
- The collision between the two Velocifighters left no debris. (11:44)
- Andros flew to the Delta Megaship from Onyx, and then was next on the Astro Megaship. (11:53)
- The five Rangers teleported from the Delta Megaship, despite previously being on the Astro Megaship. (12:43)
- The legs of the Astro Megazord were shown separating from Megaship formation before the Megashuttle flew out but were then shown starting to separate again as the Megashuttle approached for docking. (16:16)
- In the outtakes for this episode, Andros pointed to a red, ringed planet, to which DECA responded “wrong planet.” However, this planet beared a stronger resemblance to Onyx than the one that Andros pointed to initially during the episode. (21:12)
