Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
If you have the time for it, Hellion01 posted a fanfic a while back that I really enjoyed, and seemed to fit that hole pretty well.

Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
My head canon is this:
The Zeo Rangers fought the Machine Empire's remnants over the remainder of their senior year of high school (which explains why it was summer during the end of Zeo but they graduated at the beginning of turbo). I like the idea the Zeo powers constantly got stronger as was directly mentioned on the show albeit off handed like. I imagine the powers got to a point like the Gold Ranger powers that a regular human can't use them for long intervals without physical damage. About the Cold War thing, I always felt based on in series comments that Earth was considered the "backwater" of the Zordon/UAE war. The Southeast Asia/Vietnam/Middle East equivalent. So once they got the Millenium message, you have to wonder why they shipped off Veterans for a rookie ranger team? Why leave that rookie team with the new mentors? My head canon is with the Zeo powers intact, Zordon was essentially playing the "long game". The Turbo Rangers were to be the "face" team that protects Earth while the Space Rangers protect KO-35, the Alien's Aquitar, and Trey Triforia. Whether we accept Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, Kim, Tommy, Aisha, Rocky, Adam, and Tanya had active powers or not, you can't tell me they weren't fighting somewhere off screen during C2D. So my head canon is Zordon had the Zeo rangers as a reserve or insurgency team. Why else would you replace your vets at the beginning of a war? |

Plus Tommy went on to race cars so it makes sense that he would pick the new team theme as he was the veteran ranger and Zordon favored him by that point. |

Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
The only things that need explaining vis a vid Zeo/Turbo are why Jason and Kimberly were together, when Bulk and Skull came back and why, and why Zedd and Rita weren't fighting the Rangers.
Everything else is covered in the movie and season. |

Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
I don't know if it necessarily needs head canon. A lot of these things can just be chalked up to the passage of time and how Zeo ends.

Rita and Zedd just weren't on Earth or the Moon at the time of Turbo. When we see them again, they're working for Dark Spectre to fight the forces of good. Turbo was a breather for them. Quote:

Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
lol and I think many of us still wonder about and question that too, even tho is has really nothing to do with the storyline. Why does Kimberly break up with Tommy and then come back and invite Jason to go scuba diving?
of course. That must have been when they had Thrax. Can't imagine what child-birth must be like for an evil sorceress, especially one whose Japanese counter-part hated children |

The Turbo powers come from Eltar. Justin said this in the finale. I figured Zordon has an Eltarian team or something. Same people who designed the Thunderzords for him. Quote:
