i meant if for example he came back cause if a foe. So in that situation would be a turbo foe. In other way I would want him back for a appearance if we had a car theme show and all.

Has anyone ever thought of what Patricia Ja Lee (Cassie Chan) is doing, right now? I mean, the last I have heard from her is that she is working as a firefighter. But that was it. She just disappeared. Same for the actor who played Lt. Jerome Stone. He also vanished. What has he've doing lately,

I'm watching Turbo right now and I have so many questions. I'm enjoying the season overall; it's far more goofy than Zeo which I didn't find all that interesting.
. Why did the writers/producers decide to get rid of Alpha 5 and Zordon? . What was the meaning behind the sand timer during the Power Transfer? . Did anyone else feel that the Power Transfer episode felt rushed, especially towards the end. There wasn't much explanation about why the first time gave up their powers. It also would have been nice to see them reveal their identities to the new team. . I'm assuming the first time gave up their powers to go to college/pursue their careers etc. . It also felt like Tommy was barely in the show un-morphed. . Does anyone have any data on the ratings and whether they increased/declined after they replaced the cast?
I'd love to know everyone's thoughts.

It also felt like Tommy was barely in the show un-morphed. . Does anyone have any data on the ratings and whether they increased/declined after they replaced the cast? I'd love to know everyone's thoughts. 1) They feel that Zordon and Alpha 5 were getting too stale and boring as characters?! 2) They didn't really give us any real explanations as to why they did the whole "sands of time" shtick during the episode, "Passing the Torch." It's just that Jason David Frank wanted to leave the show. So, the producers felt that maybe it's best to find some replacements halfway through the show and just get rid of the old cast members, except for Justin. Yeah, I don't get why they still need Justin around throughout the remainder of the show since he didn't draw any numbers from younger viewers who were still watching this season at the time. The other four new characters; TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie are okay. But, they REEEAAAALLLY should have introduced them as new characters much earlier in the show. 3) I think the reason why they did the power transfer in such as rushed way is because like I said before. Jason David Frank wanted to leave the show, so maybe it was wise at the time to get rid of the rest of the old cast members and replace them with new characters. Now, if I were to do a remake of Power Rangers Turbo, what I would do is this.... Introduce Dimitria in "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie as a new entity instead of Larigot and have her be an ally of Zordon because her sister, Divatox has attacked their home planet of Inquiris and is now the new empress of that planet forcing Dimitria into exile. While, that's going on, I would cut to the end of the Zeo Rangers' graduation ceremony where they've already gotten their diplomas, say goodbye to Ms. Applebee, Principal Kaplan and Ernie and Jaskn and Kimberly who are attending as guests for the ceremony and we would cut to Kimberly apologizing to Tommy for sending him that Dear John letter in Zeo and hope that they have no hard feelings. Tommy accepts Kim's apology and she wishes him and Katherine the best of luck in the future. Now in the Command center, Zordon and Alpha-5 would get a message from Dimitria, the Rangers including Jason and Kimberly would be teleported there. The rangers would be aware of Dimitria's cry for help, morph into Zeo and Jason and Kimberly would still have their old power moprphers as the original Dino Morphers and Power Coins weren't destroyed in the beginning of MMPR season three's "Ninja Quest," but were damaged through a power surge. The Rangers would fight the Piranha-trons and are outnumbered, but the Zeo rangers are feeling the effects of Zeo Crystal's energy being depleted because of their battles with the Machine Empire in Zeo and they would have to create new powers. But Zordon and Dimitria felt that maybe it's time to start fresh and they will need new Rangers to carry on the work for our heroes. Enter TJ, Cassie, Carlos and Ashley. But, they need a candidate to the new blue ranger. Now, I would prefer to have introduce Justin as an actual 14 year-old kid since his actor should be a real-life teenager. Kind of like how Joseph Gordon-Levitt was introduced in the first season of 3rd Rock from the Sun. He was 15 years-old when he did the first. So technically, he was an actual teenager throughout the first season's TV run in 1995. We gotta keep the whole "Teenagers With Attitude" idea going. Now little kids as Power Rangers. The Zeo Rangers, Jason and Kimberly would create the Turbo Zords and Morphers for our new team, they would act as mentors. The new Turbo rangers will act as protectors and bodyguards for Dimitria. They would fight off Divatox's forces causing her to summon Maligore, who my version is not her fiance. But rather, her first monster for the movie to prove himself worthy for her affections and would eventually become her husband to unite both of their kingdoms for political gain, etc. Once he defeats the Power Rangers. So yeah, the roles would be in reverse. Maligore should be the one asking for Divatox's hand in marriage and he should be the one to fight for her affections if her were to rule the galaxy by her side. Divatox would reject the proposal but, she would reconsider once Maligore has accomplished his mission and successfully defeated the Power Rangers and killed Dimitria. The Turbo Rangers would fight off Maligore and a small army of Piranha-trons with their new powers. Turbo Megazord debut brawl, Divatox gets pissed that her sister is still alive and is now setting her site to conquer Earth. Dimitria is thankful for the Turbo Rangers' help and would like to serve as their new mentor in order to defeat Divatox and they would agree but not before saying goodbye to the Zeo Rangers and company and would drive off into the sunset as a new chapter begins for our new heroes and we get a post-credit scene of the Turbo Rangers and Dimitria begin constructing their own version of the Power Chamber and their own personal robot companion, Alpha-6. And that's about it. The rest of Turbo's season would be different with the new cast members being part of the first and second half in that direction. Instead of only the second half. Now, I don't know about the data of what the TV ratings for Power Rangers Turbo were. But, I think the show's IMDB page may have a clue on what the individual ratings and total scores were like back in 1997. As for Turbo being more "goofier" than Zeo?! Yeah, clearly you have not seen the Super Sentai shows that Zeo and Turbo were adapting from; Choriki Sentai Ohranger and Gekisou Sentai Carranger. And I will tell you this. Ohranger's tone is really confusing. But Carranger's tone is beyond goofy. Check them out if you haven't seen them yet. You'll get what I mean.

Passing the Torch was a replacement story created following a behind-the-scenes shakeup in which Ann Austen and Doug Sloan, the lead writers/Showrunners of Turbo, left and a completely new set of writers, led by Judd "Chip" Lynn, came in and decided to go in a new direction, which is why the hints about Dimitria and Divatox being sisters went nowhere and why there was not a more overt and direct payoff to the Millennium Message storyline (Passing the Torch does serve as payoff, but only subtly and indirectly).
Honey, I Shrunk the Rangers was also a replacement story that came about because of the shakeup.

At least in Carranger, the revelation of Zonette being Radietta's sister was a bit more subtle.

Now, for the multi-billion dollar question. Aside from Katherine who was in "Dimensions in Danger" as the Pink Turbo Ranger (even though she still has her old Zeo Morpher and could have come back as Zeo Ranger I), what other character from Turbo besides Tommy and Justin, do you want to see come back for a future team-up/crossover event? And please don't say, "Elgar" because nobody else likes him. Not even Karone liked him when she was Astronema.
