In ''Timeranger'', the main villain and [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters Of The Week]] were also aliens instead of mutants (which would explain some of the more outlandish designs on some mutants). Since they were changed to mutants, thus making the series Earth-based, Trip stands out a bit more.

->''"Time for Time Force!"''
->''"Quantum Power!"''
Season 9 of ''PowerRangers'', adapted from ''MiraiSentaiTimeranger''. In the year 3000, crime is almost a memory, as Time Force has captured almost every criminal. The only one left is the mutant Ransik. Time Force Red Ranger Alex and his squad finally manage to capture him, and Alex takes the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend and subordinate, Jen. Before they can fully realize their dreams of wedded bliss, however, Ransik's spoiled daughter, Nadira, breaks him out and Alex is apparently killed in the crossfire. Ransik and Nadira go on to take the cryogenically frozen mutants from prison and hightail it back to the year 2001, before there was a Time Force to stop them.
Taking responsibility for the fact that they got away on her watch, a brokenhearted Jen collects the morphers and her squad, and journeys a thousand years into the past to avenge her fiance. Unfortunately, Alex's DNA is needed to unlock the morphers, but there just so happens to be a doppelganger of him living in Silver Hills, [[WordOfGod Washington]] at the turn of the millennium. What are the odds?
Wes Collins, once convinced they're not crazy, joins the Time Force Rangers, helping them in their fight and to adjust to being so far from home. Eventually, it turns out that the future in Millennium City isn't as rosy as one would expect, and either [[ScrewDestiny destiny will be screwed]], or Wes will.

** See the entry on TooSoon below.
** Also, the originally planned ending had Jen staying in 2001 with Wes to keep the [[ScrewDestiny recurring theme]] going. But due to ExecutiveMeddling this was thrown out the window, resulting in executive producer Judd Lynn quitting the show.

* IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: Trip, who attempts to look cooler by imitating the other Rangers in "Uniquely Trip".
* JustifiedCriminal: Played with, in that FantasticRacism drove the mutants to crime, but with the exception of [[PunnyName Notacon]] they tend to go above and beyond what's necessary.
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: Justified in that the mutants were tried and convicted already in the year 3000.
** Although mutants are apparently judged in a KangarooCourt, with at least one of the prisoners guilty of no greater crime than (essentially) being a mutant.
** The [=CryoPrison=] has no human inmates whatsoever, so despite the fact that there have to be humans in the year 3000 that commit equal crimes to those of mutants they apparently receive different (and presumably less harsh) sentencing.
*** It could be there were no non-mutant prisoners because mutants are considered more dangerous (with good reason) and held in facilities with tighter security, or because Ransik just didn't take any non-mutant prisoners during his breakout.
* LonelyRichKid: Wes
* MaternallyChallenged: Nadira in the finale
* MeaningfulName: Someone depicted as the resident [[TheKlutz Klutz]] ''in his own focus ep'' is named ''Trip''...
* MeanwhileInTheFuture
* MonumentalTheft: Ransik didn't just stage a prison breakout, he stole the whole prison!
* MoralityPet: As bad as he can be Ransik genuinely loves Nadira, also Eric keeps pet birds and makes friends with a little girl at the trailer park he lives in, even Frax has his robots.
* MultiformBalance: Time Force Megazord has a close combat oriented Mode Red and an agile ranged Mode Blue.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Ransik has this reaction when he nearly kills Nadira in the final battle. This leads to his HeelFaceTurn.]]

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Trip is [[HaruhiSuzumiya a time-traveling alien]] [[DoctorWho being with psychic powers.]] And he's a cop. Think about that for a second.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The team goes to see a filming of a "[[JackieChan Frankie Chang]]" movie in "Movie Madness".
** Specifically the movie in question seems to be a ShoutOut to ''Rumble In The Bronx.''
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Ransik takes on the entire team during the finale and beats the tar out of them all. It makes you wonder why he bothered using monsters of the week, especially considering they were using things they didn't even have at the start of the season and he still won.
** There are two possible stipulations: The Rangers were already exhausted from the previous fight, and Ransik's [[spoiler:infection that was slowly killing him keeps him at a weaker level; by the end he's "cured" and nothing is holding him back. In "Lovestruck Rangers", Ransik got himself in a position to fight the girl Rangers without interference from the boys. The infection prevented him from defeating them and the girls destroyed the vial of medicine he brought with him, forcing him to flee.]]
* NoHuggingNoKissing: You would think we'd get a kiss between [[spoiler:Wes & Jen]] in the finale, but nope, standard embrace.
** Although the trade-off is that to this day, they're still the only two Rangers to say [[spoiler:"I love you"]] to each other.
* OfficialCouple: Alex/Jen in the premiere, [[spoiler:Wes/Jen by the finale]].

* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney
* SecondLove
* TheStarscream: Frax.
* ShipperOnDeck: Three of them, actually.
* ShoutOut: Trip's planet, Xybria, is a reference to Saban's cartoon ''Xyber9NewDawn''.
** Wes and Eric escape [[spoiler:the clocktower]] swinging out on a rope as the building explodes behind them, an obvious {{homage}} to ''Film/DieHard.''
** When Jen was [[TrappedInTVLand caught in a]] {{Wuxia}} movie, she had a qipao and OdangoHair. Sounds like stock Chinese stuff, but then she gets into a one-on-one fight. [[StreetFighter Who else do we know that's famous for fighting with that appearance?]]
* StockFootageFailure: Sentai stock footage is used in several scenes important to the plot. It doesn't cause plot holes because of the similarities, but several critical scenes have Wes suddenly turning Japanese.
* SuperStrength: Katie.
* TalkingToHimself: Alex and Wes.
* TerminatorTwosome: More like Terminator Two-teams, but it's the same idea.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Wes is on the ''receiving'' end of ''two'' of these:
** The first is from Jen in "Something To Fight For", when she rejects his overtures to join the team by chastising him for his WhitePrince upbringing and saying that he wouldn't know what to do if he had to fight for something other than himself. [[spoiler:That's not the real reason.]]
** The second is from Eric in "The End of Time, Part 2", when he mocks Wes for thinking they could ever be friends and finally lets out his bitterness towards Wes for all the advantages he had growing up "with everything handed to him on a silver platter" while Eric had to work extra hard to get to where he was. Wes counters this one with a DareToBeBadass speech of his own.
* TimePolice
* TimeyWimeyBall: The series never really establishes the exact nature of how time is shifting, including [[spoiler:how Alex is alive and helping them from the future after being killed in the pilot.]] There are a lot of statements that the timeline was changing with technology showing up that shouldn't have existed in 2001 but nothing appears to be different in 3000.
* TooSoon: As a series that regularly involves lots of property damage, you can imagine the editing involved after 9/11.
* [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped In Movie Land]]
* TrashTheSet: [[spoiler:Ransik's assault on the Clock Tower.]]
* TriangRelations
* TyrannosaurusRex: Eric's Quantasaurus Rex zord ("Q-Rex" for short). And he and Wes run into the real thing when they go to prehistory to get it.
* UniversalDriversLicense: Lucas has no problems driving 21st century cars, but got in trouble because his ''31st century license'' isn't valid yet.
* TheUnmasking: Wes to his dad in "Worlds Apart".
* {{Unobtainium}}: Trixerium crystals.
* ViciousCycle: Humans treatment of Mutants, Humans & Mutants treatment of Robots, & Frax's treatment of Humans & Mutants. Stated explicitedly by Frax.
* WasOnceAMan: The tragic case of [[spoiler: Frax]].
* WeCanRebuildHim: Revealed to be the origin of [[spoiler:Frax]], though it was more like I Can Rebuild Myself.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Wes.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The writers of ''Time Force'' originally planned out a series where the Rangers travelled through time and fought across different time periods. Then they discovered that ''MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' didn't ''actually'' feature the characters actively travelling through time: they travel once to the year 2000AD and stay there. The writers would later indulge their desires for historical crimefighting in the two-part [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped In Movie Land]] episode "Movie Madness", scenes from which would later be spliced into the opening sequence to imply that... yes, the Rangers actively travelled through time and fought across different time periods!
** A movie was planned to be produced for ''Time Force'' in 2001, but the threat of a Screen Actors Guild strike cancelled those plans.
** According to Daniel Southworth at Power Morphicon 2007, due to the popularity, and the relationship between the production crew and cast they almost came back for a second season - whether he meant a second season of ''Time Force'', or the characters coming back in ''PowerRangersWildForce'' is unknown.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The mutant population in general, most memorably touched upon in episode 19, "Trip Takes A Stand".
* WhatYearIsThis: The mutants in the premiere.
* TheWhitePrince: Wes starts as one.
* YouCantFightFate: Wes was originally groomed to become a part of Bio-Lab - something he long since fought against, much to Mr. Collins' chagrin. In the storyline where Mr. Collins is dying, Alex explicitly says it is Wes' destiny to replace him at Bio-Lab. When Mr. Collins is saved ([[ItMakesSenseInContext by Alex's intervention]]), much is made of the idea that Wes' destiny has effectively been changed. However, there is nothing to say that Wes won't one day takeover as head of Bio-Lab - just that the circumstances would be different. The fact that Wes becomes co-leader of Bio-Lab's Silver Guardians suggests his destiny hasn't changed at all. Arguably, Alex's actions (which made it possible for father and son to formally reconcile) inadvertently made it possible.
** Possible, though as head of the Silver Guardians, it's quite possible that he would give up his position as head of Biolab, opting instead to stay as team leader under a new head. On the other hand, given that he'd want to protect the guardians from improper use, perhaps circumstances would force him to take over anyways. It's very much left up in the air, but the CharacterDevelopment is that all of this happening under his own rules and not just because his father said so.

->''"Time for Time Force!"''
->''"Quantum Power!"''
Season 9 of ''PowerRangers'', adapted from ''MiraiSentaiTimeranger''. In the year 3000, crime is almost a memory, as Time Force has captured almost every criminal. The only one left is the mutant Ransik. Time Force Red Ranger Alex and his squad finally manage to capture him, and Alex takes the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend and subordinate, Jen. Before they can fully realize their dreams of wedded bliss, however, Ransik's spoiled daughter, Nadira, breaks him out and Alex is apparently killed in the crossfire. Ransik and Nadira go on to take the cryogenically frozen mutants from prison and hightail it back to the year 2001, before there was a Time Force to stop them.
Taking responsibility for the fact that they got away on her watch, a brokenhearted Jen collects the morphers and her squad, and journeys a thousand years into the past to avenge her fiance. Unfortunately, Alex's DNA is needed to unlock the morphers, but there just so happens to be a doppelganger of him living in Silver Hills, [[WordOfGod Washington]] at the turn of the millennium. What are the odds?
Wes Collins, once convinced they're not crazy, joins the Time Force Rangers, helping them in their fight and to adjust to being so far from home. Eventually, it turns out that the future in Millennium City isn't as rosy as one would expect, and either [[ScrewDestiny destiny will be screwed]], or Wes will.
Easily one of the darkest seasons of ''PowerRangers'', very popular and takes a lot from its ''SuperSentai'' counterpart. Of particular note is being the first Power Rangers series to [[AvertedTrope actually say that]] [[NeverSayDie Alex died]], [[spoiler: though he gets better towards the end of the series]]. Also of note, is that the leader of the team is the Pink Ranger, ActionGirl Jen (although because of the source footage Red is still in the forefront, with him and the SixthRanger getting nearly every LimitBreak and SuperMode through the season).
And while the acting in Power Rangers has never been any more than serviceable, the performances from the two leads Jason Faunt and Erin Cahill (as well as several others) were actually quite strong. And the darker nature of the season helps to highlight that talent with lost loved ones, prejudice, revenge, new love and redemption. This was also the only Power Rangers series to be nominated for an Emmy, [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0256278/awards although it was for sound editing]], a nomination is still a nomination.
Succeeded by ''PowerRangersWildForce.'' Also, ''Time Force'' was the last season to be aired in full by FoxKids, which would be turning into the all-animation [[FourKidsEntertainment FOX Box]], the following year.
Has a [[Characters/PowerRangersTimeForce character sheet]].

* BrokenFaceplate: How Wes's father finds out that his son is a Ranger.
** It's somewhat strange that he could tell it was Wes, considering the damage to Wes' helmet was only enough to show his eyes, not to mention Mr Collins was well over twenty feet away!

* LonelyRichKid: Wes
* MaternallyChallenged: Nadira in the finale
* MeaningfulName: Someone depicted as the resident [[TheKlutz Klutz]] ''in his own focus ep'' is named ''Trip''...
* MeanwhileInTheFuture
* MonumentalTheft: Ransik didn't just stage a prison breakout, he stole the whole prison!
* MoralityPet: As bad as he can be Ransik genuinely loves Nadira, also Eric keeps pet birds and makes friends with a little girl at the trailer park he lives in, even Frax has his robots.
* MultiformBalance: Time Force Megazord has a close combat oriented Mode Red and an agile ranged Mode Blue.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Ransik has this reaction when he nearly kills Nadira in the final battle. This leads to his HeelFaceTurn.]]
* NiceGuy: Wes.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Trip is [[HaruhiSuzumiya a time-traveling alien]] [[DoctorWho being with psychic powers.]] And he's a cop. Think about that for a second.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The team goes to see a filming of a "[[JackieChan Frankie Chang]]" movie in "Movie Madness".
** Specifically the movie in question seems to be a ShoutOut to ''Rumble In The Bronx.''
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Ransik takes on the entire team during the finale and beats the tar out of them all. It makes you wonder why he bothered using monsters of the week, especially considering they were using things they didn't even have at the start of the season and he still won.
** There are two possible stipulations: The Rangers were already exhausted from the previous fight, and Ransik's [[spoiler:infection that was slowly killing him keeps him at a weaker level; by the end he's "cured" and nothing is holding him back. In "Lovestruck Rangers", Ransik got himself in a position to fight the girl Rangers without interference from the boys. The infection prevented him from defeating them and the girls destroyed the vial of medicine he brought with him, forcing him to flee.]]
* NoHuggingNoKissing: You would think we'd get a kiss between [[spoiler:Wes & Jen]] in the finale, but nope, standard embrace.
** Although the trade-off is that to this day, they're still the only two Rangers to say [[spoiler:"I love you"]] to each other.
* OfficialCouple: Alex/Jen in the premiere, [[spoiler:Wes/Jen by the finale]].
* PleaseDumpMe: Lucas, because Nadira's dad is the [[BigBad Big-freakin-Bad]]!
* PregnantHostage: In the finale
* PsychicPowers: Trip, who is somewhat clairvoyant and telepathic.
* QuicklyDemotedLeader: Averted; Jen holds on to leadership despite not being the Red Ranger.
* RedShirtArmy: The Silver Guardians. Except [[NeverSayDie no one actually dies]].
* RobotBuddy: Circuit.
* RollerbladeGood: On Eric's Mega Battle armor.
* RubberForeheadAlien: Trip, who has a crystal in his forehead and green hair
* SanDimasTime
* SarcasticClapping: Eric, in his debut as the Quantum Ranger.
* ScoobyStack: Trip, Katie, and Lucas attempt this once while eavesdropping on Wes and Jen near the end of "Jen's Revenge". [[MomentKiller It didn't work so well.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney
* SecondLove
* TheStarscream: Frax.
* ShipperOnDeck: Three of them, actually.
* ShoutOut: Trip's planet, Xybria, is a reference to Saban's cartoon ''Xyber9NewDawn''.
** Wes and Eric escape [[spoiler:the clocktower]] swinging out on a rope as the building explodes behind them, an obvious {{homage}} to ''Film/DieHard.''
** When Jen was [[TrappedInTVLand caught in a]] {{Wuxia}} movie, she had a qipao and OdangoHair. Sounds like stock Chinese stuff, but then she gets into a one-on-one fight. [[StreetFighter Who else do we know that's famous for fighting with that appearance?]]
* StockFootageFailure: Sentai stock footage is used in several scenes important to the plot. It doesn't cause plot holes because of the similarities, but several critical scenes have Wes suddenly turning Japanese.
* SuperStrength: Katie.
* TalkingToHimself: Alex and Wes.
* TerminatorTwosome: More like Terminator Two-teams, but it's the same idea.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Wes is on the ''receiving'' end of ''two'' of these:
** The first is from Jen in "Something To Fight For", when she rejects his overtures to join the team by chastising him for his WhitePrince upbringing and saying that he wouldn't know what to do if he had to fight for something other than himself. [[spoiler:That's not the real reason.]]
** The second is from Eric in "The End of Time, Part 2", when he mocks Wes for thinking they could ever be friends and finally lets out his bitterness towards Wes for all the advantages he had growing up "with everything handed to him on a silver platter" while Eric had to work extra hard to get to where he was. Wes counters this one with a DareToBeBadass speech of his own.
* TimePolice
* TimeyWimeyBall: The series never really establishes the exact nature of how time is shifting, including [[spoiler:how Alex is alive and helping them from the future after being killed in the pilot.]] There are a lot of statements that the timeline was changing with technology showing up that shouldn't have existed in 2001 but nothing appears to be different in 3000.
* TooSoon: As a series that regularly involves lots of property damage, you can imagine the editing involved after 9/11.
* [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped In Movie Land]]
* TrashTheSet: [[spoiler:Ransik's assault on the Clock Tower.]]
* TriangRelations
* TyrannosaurusRex: Eric's Quantasaurus Rex zord ("Q-Rex" for short). And he and Wes run into the real thing when they go to prehistory to get it.
* UniversalDriversLicense: Lucas has no problems driving 21st century cars, but got in trouble because his ''31st century license'' isn't valid yet.
* TheUnmasking: Wes to his dad in "Worlds Apart".
* {{Unobtainium}}: Trixerium crystals.
* ViciousCycle: Humans treatment of Mutants, Humans & Mutants treatment of Robots, & Frax's treatment of Humans & Mutants. Stated explicitedly by Frax.
* WasOnceAMan: The tragic case of [[spoiler: Frax]].
* WeCanRebuildHim: Revealed to be the origin of [[spoiler:Frax]], though it was more like I Can Rebuild Myself.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Wes.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The writers of ''Time Force'' originally planned out a series where the Rangers travelled through time and fought across different time periods. Then they discovered that ''MiraiSentaiTimeranger'' didn't ''actually'' feature the characters actively travelling through time: they travel once to the year 2000AD and stay there. The writers would later indulge their desires for historical crimefighting in the two-part [[TrappedInTVLand Trapped In Movie Land]] episode "Movie Madness", scenes from which would later be spliced into the opening sequence to imply that... yes, the Rangers actively travelled through time and fought across different time periods!
** A movie was planned to be produced for ''Time Force'' in 2001, but the threat of a Screen Actors Guild strike cancelled those plans.
** According to Daniel Southworth at Power Morphicon 2007, due to the popularity, and the relationship between the production crew and cast they almost came back for a second season - whether he meant a second season of ''Time Force'', or the characters coming back in ''PowerRangersWildForce'' is unknown.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The mutant population in general, most memorably touched upon in episode 19, "Trip Takes A Stand".
* WhatYearIsThis: The mutants in the premiere.
* TheWhitePrince: Wes starts as one.
* YouCantFightFate: Wes was originally groomed to become a part of Bio-Lab - something he long since fought against, much to Mr. Collins' chagrin. In the storyline where Mr. Collins is dying, Alex explicitly says it is Wes' destiny to replace him at Bio-Lab. When Mr. Collins is saved ([[ItMakesSenseInContext by Alex's intervention]]), much is made of the idea that Wes' destiny has effectively been changed. However, there is nothing to say that Wes won't one day takeover as head of Bio-Lab - just that the circumstances would be different. The fact that Wes becomes co-leader of Bio-Lab's Silver Guardians suggests his destiny hasn't changed at all. Arguably, Alex's actions (which made it possible for father and son to formally reconcile) inadvertently made it possible.
** Possible, though as head of the Silver Guardians, it's quite possible that he would give up his position as head of Biolab, opting instead to stay as team leader under a new head. On the other hand, given that he'd want to protect the guardians from improper use, perhaps circumstances would force him to take over anyways. It's very much left up in the air, but the CharacterDevelopment is that all of this happening under his own rules and not just because his father said so.
