last and by the end of the season they're no longer afraid of the Machine Empire at all and Rita manages to create a monster that beat even the Ranger's ultrazord!

* FanonDiscontinuity: A Christmas themed FlashForward episode "A Season to Remember" ended with the reveal that Tommy and Kat are married, while their oldest grandson is implied to be a Red Ranger. This episode never rated very strongly, though this tends to be largely due to the {{Anvilicious}} main story seeing Mondo trying to drive a wedge between the Rangers due to their cultural differences. However, it's unsurprising that certain corners of the fandom (Tommy/Kimberly shippers mainly) objected to the Tommy/Kat revelation. Again, multiple [[WordOfGod Words Of God]] repeatedly supported the pairing. However, some point to [[PowerRangersWildForce "Forever Red"]] and ''PowerRangersDinoThunder'' as showing Tommy was shown without Kat. ([[WhatCouldHaveBeen Catherine Sutherland was to appear in both at different stages and demonstrate that Kat's relationship with Tommy was still on-going]], [[RealLifeWritesThePlot but rewrites removed Kat's scene in the former and Sutherland's then-pregnancy made the latter impossible]].)

* FanonDiscontinuity: A Christmas themed FlashForward episode "A Season to Remember" featured Tommy and Kat being married. It didn't settle too well with the fandom and PowerRangersDinoThunder never addresses the subject.
** Although the story itself of the Zeo Rangers being forced by Sprocket to hate each other can take place anytime between Bulk and Skull becoming detectives and Jason returning to become the Gold Ranger.
** However, any forum which mentions the subject will have several members who insist that [[TimeyWimeyBall Tommy and Kat's marriage must come to pass as there is no other possible way time travel could work in any possible fictional universe such that something we have seen in a flash-forward could ever be invalidated. And anyone who disagrees with them doesn't understand how time travel works.]]
*** Both sides conveniently ignore that WordOfGod from multiple producers has stated that the events of the future depicted in 'A Season to Remember' remain in-continuity and that, yes, Tommy and Katherine do wed. One of those production regimes even states that Kim married Skull. [[ShipToShipCombat As neither 'ship contingent is particularly happy with these statements,]] [[FanDumb both continue to haggle with one another like children over this.]]
*** Catherine Sutherland has even gone on the record stating that Amit Bhaumik had spoken to her about reprising Kat as Mrs. Oliver in Forever Red, and Doug Sloan about playing Kat as Mrs. Oliver in PowerRangersDinoThunder. The former scene was removed in rewrites and her part reduced to voicing a bad guy; the latter didn't materialize due to her then-pregnancy.
**** That's weird. You'd think the show wouldn't mind Kat being pregnant with her husband's kid, but hey, whatever. Of course, "A Season to Remember" has weird things like guns that make you antisemitic... about holidays. Not Israel, not the numerous conspiracy theories about Jews over the millennia. Holidays.
**** Well, nobody knows ''when'' they got married. (Or Sutherland was far enough along in her pregnancy that she couldn't travel to New Zealand, as I believe she had moved to the U.S. by that time.)
** For this Troper the main disconnect is not the marriage but rather the fact their kid is a Ranger who apparently works for Zordon and has a classic communicator watch. Apparently that is ALSO canon which can mean only one thing about Zordon's Heroic Sacrifice...[[IGotBetter He got better]]
*** Except ''nothing'' in the episode actually says anything about Tommy's grandkid working for Zordon. As future seasons prove, there are ''a lot'' of Ranger teams out there. Saying the simple usage of the classic communicator and tune means Zordon got better is quite a stretch. Heck, maybe an older Tommy simply thought it would be a good idea to reuse them.
**** Except his own SON doesn't know his father knows, so if it is Tommy he is a closet mentor, maybe Billy.
