* Sledge's threat about plucking Spellbinder and eat him for dinner becomes more horrifying when you consider they've been stuck there for 65 million years. Their rations have to run out some time, and they need something to eat. Suddenly those monster parts Curio is made out of have darker implications than just 'prisoners that don't survive or get old'.

* Why would Sledge send just one monster at a time against the rangers? Because he's powerful enough to keep one or two monsters in line, but if he were to send several, they could likely agree to ignore the rangers and gang up on Sledge instead, and several monsters could possibly manage to take him out.

* Wrench's warning about the 10 billion gigabolts in the first episode makes a bit more sense considering his body is covered with a metallic armor that, unlike Sledge's slighty rusty one, is still shiny. Wrench is not only afraid of frying himself alive, but he's also afraid if he accidentally conducted the electricity.
