** And then Heckyl shoots the idea down in one single action - if he were to unleash every criminal he had simultaneously, they would just attack him en masse. Not even he could stand up to that pounding; so when Heckyl shows he can short circuit the cell doors, he forces Sledge's cooperation.

** One could even argue that a subplot throughout the first season is Kendall's own HerosJourney.

* While not directly stated, there's a nice Aesop for Kendall when you pair Wishing for a Hero and One More Energem. Kendall spends all of Wishing searching for someone to bond with the purple energem. Never even considering that she could be the one who is worthy for it. But then when she steals it from Sledge's ship and heroically defends keeper, [[spoiler: she IS chosen as the new purple ranger. Keeper even says that she was always worthy, but just needed an opportunity to show it.]] So, don't go looking for a hero. Go and be one.

* Sledge keeping Greenzilla sealed away in solitary confinement. While it IS incredibly strong, it also doesn't seem sapient and just destroys everything in it's path. Unlike his other prisoners, Greenzilla can't be communicated with let alone reasoned with, so it makes sense to keep it confined separately from the rest and more securely.

* Tyler using his Tyranno charger without his energem makes sense because Fury was able to do the same with the Ptera charger. Even though it's draining, it is possible to use with leftover energem energy for a little while.

* Now that Wrench created a reanimator machine for sledge, it's been shown to be capable of reviving any of the monsters the rangers destroyed. Now if there wasn't a limited amount of space for the machine to work, and Sledge wasn't being cautious sending out too many monsters at once, think of what he could do. All he'd need to do is have his prison ZergRush the rangers, and when they're all worn out from the attack, all he'd need to do is bring back his stronger monsters, and finish the job in round 2. Really makes you realize that Sledge is hardly risking financial security by sending out prisoners. It's just a relentless search for the right monster to take the energems, and anyone lost in the scuffle would just get revived afterwards. Devilishly scary.

**''World Famous (in New Zealand)'' reveals that Keeper can unbind a ranger from their Energem. It's probable that he'll do this for them at the end of the season to allow them to live normal lives. At most, they've only stopped aging for about a year (barring Ivan and Koda of course).

* In episode 11, why didn't Tyler hesitate when attacking Fury with his T-Rex Smash? Well, the previous episode had him attack Fury with his AND Chase's weapon, and Fury survived. If a combination of two weapons didn't destroy Fury, then how would a single weapon do?

to:

* In The end of episode 10 established that the rangers couldn't destroy Fury just yet due to Tyler seeing [[spoiler:what looks like his father's ghost]] being trapped inside him. Cue episode 11, why and Tyler didn't Tyler hesitate even hold his punches back when attacking Fury with his T-Rex Smash? Well, Smash. This could be considered an error, but the previous episode had him attack Fury with his AND Chase's weapon, and Fury survived. If a combination of two weapons didn't destroy Fury, then how would a single weapon do?

* Sync or Swim provides a handy ShowDontTell why the rangers don't attack Sledge's ship once they got control of the Pterazord. Even though their megazords are capable of dodging laser fire, getting in too close would result in them being shot down just like the bomb was. Even with that explosive, Sledge was able to blow it up before it hit them, so hitting with a Stega sword or Ptera lasers might not work.

* Ivan's reluctance to join the Rangers initially makes sense in a historical sense, because he's from an era where allegiance to a feudal lord was prime, and as a knight, he'd be bound to Xandar's cause foremost. Asking to join the team isn't just a matter of adding an extra curricular like it was for most of the other rangers. It's a matter of changing his worldview to see that he can serve one cause while working for another. And unlike Koda, Xandar is very much still existent in the modern era, so there would naturally be some conflicting loyalties at first.

* Tyler and Shelby publicly impersonating Zandar royalty. Naturally, the real prince is pretty pissed off about it. Luckily, the he only gave them a slap on the wrist rather than arresting them or worse. It was for the greater good of the world, but they have secret identities to maintain.

** Considering we have people like Camille who lasted 10,000 years without going crazy, I'm sure there are different support systems other ranger teams can help them with. And besides, knowing other series like Dino Thunder or Lost Galaxy, there's a good chance that whole "live forever" thing might wear off by the end of the season.

* Living forever might seem awesome and stuff after bonding with Energem, but doesn't anyway realized that means that they could potentially outlive their friends and love ones? While the rangers have each other for company and friendship, what about their families and their other friends? They get to live almost forever while their friends and families grow old and eventually die while they would most likely look the same. It can put a strain on any relationship alongside the emotional and mental impact on both parties.

* One that works in-universe as well as out: Tyler was perfectly willing to destroy the being trapped within Fury at the end of "When Logic Fails", but by the next episode ("The Royal Rangers") he hesitates because he thinks that [[spoiler: the being might be his dad, and he doesn't want to hurt him]]. Surely the reason he sounds so beside himself is because he's thinking that, had he acted too soon, he easily could have risk [[spoiler: killing his own father]].

* Puzzler turning the thermostat to subzero temperatures means that the rangers would have been stuck in the equivalent of a freezer in summer clothes for at least half an hour. Even a few minutes in subzero temps in poor clothing can lead to a rapid drop in core temp, so if they were stuck there for hours, which was clearly Puzzler's intent; they could have ''died'' from hypothermia.

* 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 get old or don't survive'.

* Why haven't Sledge and Poisandra married yet even though it has already been 65 million years? Because they were stuck in the ship for all that time, and they only got lucky hitching a comet to get back to Earth. Also, kids show or not, they need some form of (il)legal body to legalize their marriage.
