Mistakes
- Under the “News in Brief” column in the Angel Grove Gazette was a headline from Angel Grove: “Three Local Teens Chosen For World Peace Summit”; the article, nearly identical to a TV reporter’s story, read, “Out of thousands of entrants, three local students were chosen today to attend the World Peace Summit in Switzerland. Hunger, poverty, and cultural barriers are among the topics on a very busy agenda for these young people. They will be visited by scientists, politicians, and academicians as they attempt to understand these issues.”; this passage was repeated multiple times in the same article, simply to fill space. (01:28)
- In this episode, Tommy again wore green rather than white. (01:33)
- After reporting, “The three teens from Angel Grove are Jason Lee, Zack Taylor, and Trini Kwan,” the reporter proceeded to repeat an earlier part of his report. (02:30)
- Jason’s voice was different when the others met him, Trini, and Zack in the park. (02:56)
- To aid them against Serpentera, Zordon introduced Tor to the teens even though they’d already been assisted by Tor in battle in “A Monster Of Global Proportions”. (04:32)
- Goldar’s “sources” confirmed that the Rangers had left Earth and were apparently heading toward the “farthest galaxy” at lightspeed, but at that velocity, it would have taken the Rangers approximately eighty thousand years to reach the nearest known galaxy, the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, let alone the supposed “farthest galaxy.” (06:12)
- Red Ranger’s voice didn’t sound like Jason. (08:58)
- Aisha’s new locker was full of miscellaneous things. (10:43)
- The Assault Team arrived without being summoned. (12:05)
- When Serpentera first fired at the Deserted City on the Deserted Planet, the Thunder Megazord was shown briefly being blasted even though it hadn’t yet been assembled. (14:03)
- The Thunder Megazord was again shown briefly being blasted even though it hadn’t yet been assembled. (14:31)
- Before transforming, Tor was facing Serpentera, but when it stood up from turtle mode, it was still facing Serpentera, an impossibility. (14:52)
