** There is also the possibility that his brain isn't as developed compared to modern humans and he simply ''can't'' learn English well enough to have a normal conversation. Human language was still starting to develop back when he was alive, 100,000 years ago ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language#Origin see]] Wiki/TheOtherWiki for details). In his timeframe, it may probably have developed just enough for people to use names in conversation. He is also learning it as an adult, which is significantly harder than learning it as a child.

* With the revelations of ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'' and its second season, we have a surprisingly scary revelation: Sledge was NEVER in danger of running out of prisoners. While it seemed like all his cells were empty near the end, the reveal that [[spoiler: he had other prisoners to explore Galvanax's ship in another universe]] means that while the Rangers had pushed back on him, he STILL hadn't run out of people to use. Just how big was his hold? And who else could he have used against them?
* The implication that Chase was born ''sometime between 1977 and 1982''. By 2015, when we learn how he bonded with the Energem, we discover that he saved Moana's cat, Tabitha, at the time a newborn kitten. According to Google, Tabby Cats live to an average of fifteen years old[[note]]Most cats – including those with tabby patterns – live as long as 15 or 20 years, some older. Just as with humans and other animals, diet and exercise have a great deal of influence on lifespan.[[/note]]. Tabitha is presumably dead by 2015 as she's not in Moana's shop or with Moana at all. If we assume she lived to 15, then Tabitha being rescued by Chad occurred in 2000 and, as he's 18, he'd be born in 1982 and hasn't aged since 2000; if Tabitha made it to ''twenty'', then he was born in 1977 and obtained the Energem in 1995 and hasn't aged since. That opens a whole can of worms as to who Chloe really is? Sister... or daughter raised by a SecretKeeper relative?

** Not to mention, the episode ''Freaky Fightday'' features Ivan's IdenticalGrandson, which means he had a family back then. Imagine a family man escaping from imprisonment only to find out time has passed for centuries, not to mention how his family would grieve at his supposed death.
*** Ivan seemed surprised that he has a descendant at all, meaning he had absolutely no idea that his wife/partner was pregnant when he was captured by Fury.
* Now that Wrench created a reanimator machine for sledge, it's been shown to be capable of reviving any of the monsters the rangers destroyed. Now if there wasn't a limited amount of space for the machine to work, and Sledge wasn't being cautious sending out too many monsters at once, think of what he could do. All he'd need to do is have his prison ZergRush the rangers, and when they're all worn out from the attack, all he'd need to do is bring back his stronger monsters, and finish the job in round 2. Really makes you realize that Sledge is hardly risking financial security by sending out prisoners. It's just a relentless search for the right monster to take the energems, and anyone lost in the scuffle would just get revived afterwards. Devilishly scary.
** And then Heckyl shoots the idea down in one single action - if he were to unleash every criminal he had simultaneously, they would just attack him en masse. Not even he could stand up to that pounding; so when Heckyl shows he can short circuit the cell doors, he forces Sledge's cooperation.

** This makes Mick from Ninja Steel's comment that the Milky Way galaxy is behind in the times even HarsherInHindsight, could this be the result of villains like Arcanon and the Armada from Super Megaforce? Just how much worse are things in the Milky Way compared to other galaxies, and just how stunted has the Milky Way been in developing because of this?
* It is possible in watching the SeriesFinale that we have just witnessed [[spoiler: a ContinuityReboot]] of the entire Franchise/PowerRangers franchise. [[spoiler: The original earth was destroyed by the dark energem]], and in [[spoiler: the new earth, humans evolved alongside dinosaurs, but somehow became their masters rather than being stunted by their presence]]. Not only does this throw several events of the past into doubt over how they happened, but it also might mean that all the ranger teams before this one [[spoiler: [[RetGone never happened]].]]
** And unfortunately, the world of Power Rangers ran on an inverse SuperheroParadox, where [[VillainsActHeroesReact the Rangers are made in response to villains attacking]]. Meaning that if all the rangers never happened, then [[TheBadGuyWins no one would be able to stop the villains when they set their sights on Earth]].
** There ''is'' a silver lining. Not every Ranger team relied on [[spoiler:dinosaurs]] for their powers and the only one that relied on something ''related'' [[spoiler:to their extinction]] could probably be replicated via [[spoiler:the same method Anton did to make Mesogog]]. If anything, this would make Earth's defenses ''stronger'', since [[spoiler:humans could sic dinosaurs on alien invaders and ancient demons]].
** Plus while Tommy stated the Dino Gems were stated to be from the meteor that caused the Dinosaurs to go extinct, it's just as likely a theory he made based on the evidence he found when he discovered them. [[spoiler:And if Anton ended up making Mesogog, he could have even given the Dino Gems their power to create a way to fight against him]], meaning the Dino Thunder rangers still happened.
** But there's no evidence ''Dino Charge'' takes place in the universe as the other series. It could be an alternate continuity to justify dinos still being around and not interfering with the other shows.
*** FridgeBrilliance: Thus, no team-ups with previous Rangers.

* [[spoiler:Without Sledge to kill him, Archanon and his band of minions are still around, ready to strike]].
** Then again, as [[spoiler: Heckyl was appointed as the new guardian of the Dark Energem,]] it's possible that Archanon [[spoiler: was stopped earlier or at least stalled in his ambitions.]]
*** [[spoiler:The comics show that Heckyl is successful in stopping Archanon early so that could potentially mean the Sledge of ''that'' timeline never rounds up all those bounties since Archanon had hired him in the first place.]]

* Sledge's obsession with the asteroids makes sense when you remember [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder what was in those asteroids]] that wiped out the Dinosaurs.
** [[spoiler:So that basically means that, since the asteroids were tossed into the Sun with the whole ship, Dino Thunder never happened?]]
** Even without knowing it, asteroids may contain rare minerals. Selling it would surely make a nice addition to Sledge's already-prolific job as a bounty hunter.

** He could have been [[HumanPopsicle frozen]] for almost 100,000 years, so not knowing the language is completely Justified, as he is essentially learning it from scratch.
*** Koda himself confirms in episode 5 that he was frozen in ice.
** There is also the possibility that his brain isn't as developed compared to modern humans and he simply ''can't'' learn English well enough to have a normal conversation.
*** This one has been disproven as of "Return of the Caveman."
*** Additionally, Yoshi Sudarso has stated in interviews that [[spoiler:Koda's English will get better as the series progresses]].
** Human language was still starting to develop back when he was alive, 100,000 years ago ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language#Origin see]] Wiki/TheOtherWiki for details). In his timeframe, it may probably have developed just enough for people to use names in conversation.
** He is also learning it as an adult, which is significantly harder than learning it as a child

* Why would Sledge send just one monster at a time against the rangers? Because he's powerful enough to keep one or two monsters in line, but if he were to send several, they could likely agree to ignore the rangers and gang up on Sledge instead, and several monsters could possibly manage to take him out. [[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Not unlike another criminal with a prison worth of other criminals at his disposal.]]
** This is also why we typically see one of Sledge's right hand men assisting them to make sure they are properly doing their job and of course in case they DO get the energems, they don't stab Sledge in the back and use that power against him.

** Speaking of shout-outs, while ''Go-Busters'' has a lot of them to ''Power Rangers'', this season does the reverse, by having so many shout-outs to its Sentai counterpart.
** Now moot after they made an adaptation Beast Morphers.

* [[spoiler:Sledge dying in the crash but no one else except some of the prisoners]] makes a lot of sense, considering [[spoiler:Sledge was old to the point he couldn't remain active for very long, and had just been wounded in battle with the Red Ranger. Unlike the others, he wasn't in the best of shape as was and thus would likely have taken more damage. Also unlike the other monsters he wasn't locked in a cell or otherwise restrained and took the full force of the crash.]]
** [[spoiler: Now a moot point, since he was revealed to survive.]]

** It's possible that Earth has started to receive more alien visitors after they began hearing of Earth as a safe haven against various alien empires. Ergo, while Sledge might seem a bit sinister, so long as he's not causing trouble, or perhaps if he said that he's costuming around Japan or something like that, Sledge could easily have sneaked below the radar.
** Considering that Earth is where the Armada finally met it's end, and the fact it's stated that S.P.D's first public Earth branch formed in 2015, it's possible that there are already some aliens visiting Earth and only Amber Beach has people who know Sledge is evil currently.
** In addition, his Jet Pack didn't seem that fast. It's possible he took so long because when you're traveling around the world, that takes a lot of time, especially if you're not going too fast.
* If the spoiler in the YMMV page is to be believed, then there's a reason why the [[spoiler:Talon Ranger]] doesn't exist even though in ''The Rangers Rock'', the Spino Zord is present. To become a ranger, one has to bond with an energem. There are only ten good energems and none of them bonded to a spinosaurus in the past, while the Dark Energem functions differently. In short, there can be as many zords as they can build, but there will only be ten rangers.
** There's also the fact that Heckyl (who likely would have been [[spoiler: the Talon Ranger]] had [[spoiler: said ranger]] been included) never used the Energem in one of the morphers - Spino Zord aside, the rangers can't transform without a morpher; and he never got his hands on a morpher.

** Episode 4 all but outright states [[spoiler:that whilst he didn't get to see them die, yes, Koda outliving his family is something that haunts him]].
*** Episode 5 reveals that he was frozen for that long. Now imagine thawing out to find yourself in a drastically different environment. There's a reason he lives in the command center in an area that resembles his old home.
** Even worse: Koda comes from a time where your family/tribe is almost literally your entire world. Koda has lost ''everything'' (slightly softened by the fact that he now has the Rangers as a surrogate family/tribe).

** Then again, as [[spoiler: Heckyl was appointed as the new guardian of the dark energem,]] it's possible that Archanon [[spoiler: was stopped earlier or at least stalled in his ambitions.]]

* This season marks the first Saban-era season with the OP overhauled while keeping the tune, after adapting two seasons but ''three SuperSentai'' (Shinkenger, Goseiger, Gokaiger), which is ''precisely what happened'' when ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' overhauled the OP from ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' after three seasons.

Unless Sledge did some bounty hunting while flying through space uncontrollably, that means all the criminals had to have done their worst before being caught? So how bad is the Power Ranger universe that sentient life was going around destroying galaxies for millions of years before being checked or stopped by rangers and wizards around the universe?

* Keeper’s comings and goings are likely him going around the world to search for the remaining Energems while he trusts the Rangers to hold down the fort. They can’t just be around Amber Beach and Earth is friggin’ HUGE.
