** Heather's actress Creator/SarahBrown has [[https://twitter.com/sarahjoybrown/status/1176220824430186496?s=19 said]] the reason why she stopped acting along with refusing to attend {{fan convention}}s relating to ''Power Rangers'' and ''Series/VRTroopers'' is that co-creator (and then-fiancé) Shuki Levy was physically abusive to her and that Haim Saban and his wife Cheryl were complicit in such a thing. She also pleaded her fans to boycott the ''Power Rangers'' franchise, Saban and Levy[[note]]Levy is no longer involved in the franchise, having left after the Creator/{{Disney}} [[Creator/{{Freeform}} acquisition of Fox Family and the Fox Kids library]], which included this show, while Saban's involvement has been reduced since Creator/{{Hasbro}}'s acquisition of ''Power Rangers'' and Saban Brands[[/note]] because of this.

* WordOfGod: Creator/DavidYost said that Billy was never meant to be the Gold Ranger. He speculates that his character was never considered for it due to the producers felt that as a gay man in real life, Yost wasn't worthy of being where he was as a children's superhero which may have also played a part in Billy being removed as a ranger in the beginning.

* PopCultureUrbanLegends: "Scorpion Rain". Five one-minute shorts broadcast prior to Foxtel's screening of the final episodes of the season in Australia, created to better link the events of the finale to the feature film of ''Series/PowerRangersTurbo''. In actuality a hoax concocted by fans Derik Smith, Joe Rovang, and Amit Bhaumik. Later subjected to ArmedWithCanon.

** Bhaumik's "[[Recap/PowerRangersWildForceForeverRed Forever Red"]] retroactively establishing that there was a final, unseen conflict between Rita and Zedd and the Rangers which led to a damaged Serpentera buried on the moon, and Zeo writer Jackie Marchand's [[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive "Once A Ranger"]] revealing Rita was pregnant with [[EnfantTerrible Thrax]] by the events of the season finale.

* RoleReprise: Austin St. John returns as Jason Lee Scott, the original Red Mighty Morphin' Ranger, in "A Golden Homecoming" to become the temporary host of Trey of Triforia's Gold Zeo Ranger powers.

* HostilityOnTheSet: This is the reported reason why David Yost left the series, having endured years of the production crew making homophobic remarks toward him after it came out he was gay. Ultimately he couldn't take it anymore (fearing that one more comment would [[DrivenToSuicide drive him to kill himself]]), walking off set and never coming back, forcing his character to be written out.
** Continuing from the ''Mighty Morphin[='=]'' days, Jason David Frank was still holding on to his beef with Austin St. John by the time the latter returned to the show as the Gold Ranger.

** For Billy's sendoff, since David Yost had already walked away from the series, they had an older actor, William Frederick Knight, play him despite said actor not getting down the mannerisms of the character. Also, stock footage of Yost was used while using a dubber that only bore a passing vocal similarity to the original actor, similar to the soundalikes dubbing Jason, Zack, and Trini in the middle of MMPR Season Two. Said dubber was the ADR director Scott Page-Pagter.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The computer virus episode is filled with hilariously early-90s ideas of how computers and the Internet work.

** The Gold Ranger was voiced by Creator/BradHawkins, from ''Series/VRTroopers'', for his first few appearances before the [=DiFilippo=] triplets were cast as a result of a casting scheme that Shuki Levy wanted to go with.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Tanya was going to be named Kenya according to an early promo sheet for the Alien Rangers saga.
** The Gold Ranger was originally supposed to be Ryan Steele from ''Series/VRTroopers'', hence Brad Hawkins doing the voice. This was scrapped for the triplet Triforians, and then the returning Jason. The casting of Tim, Ted, and Tom D[=i=]Filippo was a choice by Shuki Levy apparently.
** According to Trey's actors, he was originally intended to appear in far more episodes and star in a SpinOff set on his home planet, but neither panned out.
** Jason David Frank mentioned at one point that it's possible that David Trueheart would've inherited the Gold Ranger powers if Austin St. John had declined to return.
** Solicitations were sent out for a comic book crossover between the Zeo Rangers and {{ComicBook/Youngblood}}, but various issues with the comic studio kept it from happening.
** Theories abound that Billy's unexplained absences during the times ''he'' was suspected to be the Gold Ranger were him working on the creation of the Turbo powers.
** One of the ideas to work around David Yost's departure was for Billy to turn back into a kid and bring back the same child actor.

** Kat's actress Catherine Sutherland has said that she's not a fan of the romance between her charcter and Tommy.
