* The greater implications of the manner of Sledge’s return are pretty staggering. If the “black hole” from “End of Extinction” was really a dimensional portal, we have to ask... is the Earth we’re watching now the one that got sucked into the portal back then, or is that Earth floating around somewhere in this universe? And if so, which one did the other seasons take place on? And if the Earth that experienced most of PRDT is in the Ninja Steel dimension now, does that mean the Dino Charge team simply vanished as far as this world is concerned? To anyone here, including their friends and families, the Dino Charge team never came through the portal and were just... gone. It also means being in another dimension insulates you from alterations to history. Of course, as an anniversary season, there’s every chance some of these questions will provide fodder for later episodes.

* The Blue Ranger's roll call is "stealth of the ninja". Of course it is. A common misconception is that ninjas wear black, which was only popularized by kabuki theatre and western media. In a typical night stealth mission, ninjas wear ''blue'' to blend in with the (then) night sky, which is not completely black, but dark blue.

* The intergalactic game show premise of ''Ninja Steel'' may be out-of-the-blue, until one realizes that ''Film/PowerRangers2017'' is co-produced by Saban and Lionsgate. Lionsgate handled the movie adaptations of ''Literature/TheHungerGames'', so someone at Saban got the idea.
** Not to mention Peter Sudarso actually ''won'' a very similar type of game show (on season 7 of ''Wipeout'') so it also serves as a nice ActorAllusion.

* Someone getting A Hoverboard may be a little odd by today's standards, but remember that the world had created a Space Colony in the early 2000s. In the Power Rangers' universe, Technology is showing to be decades ahead of it's time.

* Despite the lack of Starninger's morpher, Levi's got quite the fondness for burgers.
** It ultimately does show up as his camera because of this, as explained in-universe.
* Turning [=StarNinjer=] into a country singer may fit the motif, but it does raise the question of how they're planning to market this to the show's target demographic, which doesn't quite align with it. Then we hear one of Levi's performances - and it's a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to [[Music/OneDirection "Story of my Life"]] in country style.
** Country is currently second only to pop on the radio. It's not really a hard sell, especially after [[Series/HannahMontana Disney made a series about a country/pop singer]].

* Mick wandering into school and being assumed to be the new shop teacher, is a big stretch, even by this show's standards. Teachers go through a lot of screening and orientation when being signed into a new school district. Most importantly, the guy who was ''hired'' has to come to class at ''some'' point.
** The principal mentions that the teacher that Mick is mistaken for had turned down the job or changed his mind about working there, she just assumes that he simply changed his mind again. Though there is still the issue that it seems like no one has checked that Mick isn't supposed to be the shop teacher.

* So how did Haley get a hot air balloon for her campaign? Easy. She got Preston on her team, so he could've borrowed from his dad for the campaign.

* Considering it's been a relatively short time since the premiere, Levi's "disappearance" not being mentioned can be accounted by him being in isolation to write a song and likely requested his manager to leave him be. Odious also could've likely answered his calls with an impersonation of sorts just in case, alien tech and all.

* Episode 5 revealing his fear of driving explains why Calvin rides on top of the Nitro Zord instead of going into its cockpit to drive inside.

* Galvanax being willing to use giant holograms of himself when he doesn't want to be seen as weak. Well, if he defeats the rangers that way, he'll still be seen as having overwhelming power. If he loses, he can blame the failure on his monster. It gives him all the benefits without any real drawbacks.

* Brody using his datacom to get answers on a test makes a lot of sense when you remember he spent ten years in space and likely didn't know that it's considered cheating. Furthermore, being raised in a harsh environment was more likely to encourage him to do it.

* Though closer to Fridge Sadness, Brody believing that Aiden would still be at their old home and his denial that he's missing seems a bit odd for someone Brody's age but there's a few good reasons for his reaction: Brody could be emotionally stunted from his years as a prisoner and doesn't have the maturity to process this or he has hyped himself up for this moment for so long that when it didn't happen like he was expecting he was crushed.

* In episode 34 of ''Ninninger'', Yoshi Sudarso makes a cameo early in the episode. In that episode, he's rescued by the Ao Ninger (aka the Blue Ninninger). Guess who's playing the Blue Ninja Steel Ranger? Yoshi's brother, Peter. ActorAllusion at its very best.

* The fact there is an ''intergalactic'' game show. This could easily allow for the Alien Rangers to appear if they want to include the Kakuranger crossover.
