Re: The new Turbo Rangers
Turbo was just a terrible season. Nothing they did made sense. The new Turbos were lame until PRIS.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
I wish the old Rangers had a better final battle too. Their whole exit felt rushed. Obviously because it was a late decision.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
I am surprised they just didn't keep the old Rangers for the rest of the season and do a big finale with the old cast before moving on.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
Power Rangers Turbo would have been an odd time for such a finale. It was a comedy season and pretty awful overall. It would have felt off unless the Rangers got their send off in Space. The send off still felt special in Space even with the new cast. Since a lot of the past villains' storylines were all wrapped up. Not to mention Zordon's.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
You could actually argue the Space Rangers were actually a stronger team then the older Rangers. They were the only team up until that point that actually won.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
I like the Space Rangers. But lets not forget they did run into some dumb luck and had help from Zordon's Wave. No Zordon's Wave and UAE wins. Not saying they weren't a good team. The older Rangers would have been screwed too without it.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
It actually worked out that they switched up the cast. The series ratings were down and the old characters were stale. The ratings started to go up after the cast change. It was rough getting used to the new characters. But getting introduced to them in the second half of the season set up Space well. By that point we knew enough about the Space Rangers and could route for them. Which was good since most of the characterization in Space went to Andros. But it didn't matter because we already knew who the former Turbos were.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
Its kind of funny because you would figure removing the old favorites would have the opposite effect.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
Its also important to remember that the first half of the season was awkard. Justin dominated the show, the old Rangers didn't get to do much, and you had the detonator of the week plot that was tiresome. To top it off most of the early episodes didn't have zord battles. The second half still had a lot of Turbo's eccentric nature but the episodes were more PR like. Much more eventful moments happened.

Re: The new Turbo Rangers
The thing is , the second half had Justin as an important part of the team. The others got the same focus. It also felt more realistic for a kid to be tagging along with high school kids then young adults. It fit better with Justin being in high school himself. This made the rest of Turbo so much better.
