* A question of fans is [[spoiler: if Mack's super strength was really his own robotic strength, why did he never show it before?]] The obvious answer is [[spoiler: he was always this strong but Hartford put in special programming to keep him from accessing it so it wouldn't be suspicious. Realizing Mack was intent on joining the team, Hartford used this as the excuse to undo that programming so Mack could utilize his robotic strength without realizing he wasn't truly human.]]

*** This [[Troper/TitoMosquito troper]] finds this likely; [[spoiler: during ''Zeo'' and ''Turbo'' they gave birth to Thrax and probably sent him back in time for his safety until they attempt to conquer the universe as shown in "Countdown to Destruction".]] But they didn't count on being purified by the Z-Wave.

** As you may have forgotten, [[spoiler: in season two of ''MMPR'', Zedd banished Rita for her failure to conquer Earth and defeating the Rangers. Later on, she came back and used a love potion (made by Finster) to marry Zedd so she would eventually overthrow him, hence her repulsion of having a baby at the time. But by the middle of season 3, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming she eventually comes to love Zedd for real, and vice versa even though Goldar cured him of the love potion]]. So it's possible they ''did'' have a baby during their absence in ''Zeo'' and ''Turbo''.]]

* The final battle between the rangers and the powered up Flurious makes very little sense, there's no reason Mack not being human should have allowed him to overpower the Corona Aurora, UNLESS Flurious' wish on the Corona has actually been that no human could defeat him? Mack defeating him suddenly makes more sense, the Corona Aurora played JackassGenie and gave Flurious exactly what he wished for and ONLY what he wished for.

** There is a simple answer here that is this Troper's personal headcanon: Thrax... was... lying. About what? All of it. Thrax is some two-bit villain who discovered that the Sentinel Knight once defeated a warrior named 'Thrax'. He takes the name as his own and then decides to go one step further and claim he is the son of two powerful evildoers... who aren't around to deny such things. Suddenly makes Thrax's actions make more sense.

* So Thrax is the son of Lord Zedd and Rita. Okay, stretch, but we'll go with it. But that makes him only ten years old, tops. And yet he was sealed away by the Sentinel Knight, who was, at the start of the season, incorporeal. So WHEN, exactly, did this happen?
