History Awesome / PowerRangersLostGalaxy

* As far as Rangers fighting with their chief villain go, the last few episodes rank pretty high up there. Trakeena just throws out the MonsterOfTheWeek play book after absorbing Deviot into her and throws everything she's got at Terra Venture and the Rangers (one might wonder why she didn't just fire at the very visible engines long ago). Just the first episode in the finale alone has the tiny Rangers running from her huge Scorpion Stinger, and Terra Venture being irreparably ruined. The second episode she sends her entire mook army and has them swarm the accessory zords (save the original in the moment above) in suicide vests. This is a FunnyAneurysmMoment today, naturally, but even TheDragon is alarmed by her recklessness. So she completes her VillainousBreakdown by killing him, too.

** The build is fantastic with the music and then he throws the sword up as we get a guitar chord of the show theme. Followed by an epic transformation, him combining with Torozord and defeating the monster, simultaneously freeing the Rangers from their imprisonment in another dimension.

** Another special mention to "Hexuba's Graveyard" which had a large amount of original fight footage; how large? In the corresponding Sentai episode, the Gingamen didn't actually ''defeat'' any of the revived monsters.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Power_Rangers#Kendrix_Morgan The Power of Pink]]. For those who haven't read the spoiler tags, let's just say Saban saw the positive response to the end of ''In Space'' and decided to reuse it. In the most heartbreaking way possible.

** To elaborate, [[spoiler: Psycho Pink, the only Psycho Ranger left after the others were destroyed in the previous episode, set up an attack on Terra Venture that would destroy the colony, using a {{MacGuffin}} stabbed into Cassie's Astro Morpher as the power source. Kendrix, the only other Ranger around (as the others were in their Zords), walks through several energy barriers, getting buffeted and tossed around by the overwhelming power, and destroys the weapon, saving Cassie and the entire Terra Venture colony... but getting vaporized in the ensuing explosion, marking the first time in the franchise a Ranger actually died in the line of duty[[note]]at least on-screen-- [[WordOfSaintPaul Christopher Khaymen Lee]] believes that Andros' previous team was killed sometime prior to the events of ''In Space''. And then there's the Phantom Ranger, who, per Judd Lynn, was apparently intended to be the spirits of past Rangers who fell in battle given a corporeal form[[/note]]. Her spirit then comforts her grieving friends before departing. [[ManlyTears I'm not crying, you are!]]]]

* Karone's reintroduction episode. Dressing up as Astronema and using her infamy to stop the auction of and walk out of the BadGuyBar with the Pink Quasar Saber (which the Rangers had lost after the above spoiler) and creaming everyone in a BarBrawl when Trakeena exposed her, is just the tip of the iceberg. It was so awesome that the FridgeLogic (of which includes how did Karone get to Onyx from KO-35 among other questions) didn't set in until the HumongousMecha fight started and the plot stopped. It's a lucky thing that it and the subsequent episode were such great moments for her character, as, combined with the episodes needed to write around [[spoiler: [[RealLifeWritesThePlot Valerie Vernon's illness]]]], there simply was not enough time to really develop her character before the final StoryArc and [[GrandFinale finale]]. Nonetheless, this is the only time [[spoiler: the primary BigBad from the previous season becomes a Ranger in the next.]]

* The last three episodes are filled with Trakeena [=CMOAs=]. (Yes, baddies get 'em too.) [[spoiler: Suicide. Bomber. {{Mooks}}.]] And that's just one thing.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaoGQsM04V8 The Rangers being chosen to wield the Lights of Orion by the lights themselves]] -- to recap, the Lights of Orion are an ancient, incredible power, and both the villains (with that episode MonsterOfTheWeek, Destruxo, briefly getting his hand son them) and the Magna Defender were seeking to use the Lights for their own ends; the Rangers, on the other hand, don't even know what the Lights are really, all they know is they want to stop the villains from getting them, and the Magna Defender (who they realize has gone overboard in his grief and quest for vengeance). They prepare to destroy the Lights with their Quasar Launchers to that end, when the Lights pulse and subsequently float down to them -- the Rangers realize the Lights ''[[OnlyTheChosenMayWield have chosen them]]''. They all reach up towards the glowing orb...and [[MidSeasonUpgrade are subsequently covered in new armor and enhanced weaponry]]! When the Magna Defender wants the Rangers to give the Lights to him, Leo declares "Never!", beginning the ThemeMusicPowerUp. Never before or after was it so perfectly timed, as they ''turn into a fireball and run right through Destruxo'' right in time with "TURN ON THE POWER! POWER RANGERS!" The Rangers promptly turn around, and as the theme song ends, Destruxo keels over and explodes. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Bad. Ass.]]

** The moment when the In Space team shows up. At first only Andros appears, teaming up with Leo to save him from Psycho Red. Then in the climactic fight the other show up. It doesn't even matter that how they caught up with Terra Venture isn't explained, or that Zhane is a no-show. It's just that awesome. Plus, the moment when they morph, the theme for ''In Space'' plays, and effortlessly segues into ''Lost Galaxy'''s, adding a true ThemeMusicPowerUp. Sadly, from one form of awesome to another, and this one so very bittersweet...

Her spirit then comforts her grieving friends before departing. [[ManlyTears I'm not crying, you are!]]]]

** While that's happening, the two Ranger teams unite in their Megazords to fight Psycho Pink in ''American exclusive footage'', an extreme rarity in Power Rangers.

* One of the final moments of the series is one of the most epic, jaw-droppingly awesome moments in the history of the franchise. The space colony (structurally, the ship is a collection of enormous domes connected by tubes) ''Terra Venture'' crashes onto the moon of the planet Mirinoi, and the passengers and crew successfully evacuate to the planet below. But they're still in danger - Trakeena, using her new-found power, raises the city dome (what it says, a dome the size of an enormous city) and throws it at the planet below. The Rangers arrive on board the falling city dome, fight and defeat Trakeena. But it's too late - the dome has made it through the atmosphere and is falling straight towards the colonists. From the size and speed of the city dome, the impact will kill everybody there and likely wipe out half the planet, and even the Rangers are panic-stricken and helpless. From out of nowhere, ''the Galaxy Megazord flies up to meet the city dome, grabs hold of it, slows the dome down and steers it away from the colonists and into an abandoned valley'', giving the Rangers time to escape into their zords before the dome crashes. In terms of a power-feat from the Galaxy Megazord, it's ''astronomical''. In terms of sheer epic awesomeness? Mind-blowing.

Trakeena just throws out the Monster of the Week play book after absorbing Deviot into her and throws everything she's got at Terra Venture and the Rangers (one might wonder why she didn't just fire at the very visible engines long ago). Just the first episode in the finale alone has tiny rangers running from her huge starship, and Terra Venture being irreparably ruined. The second episode she rattles her entire mook army and has them swarm the accessory zords (save the original in the moment above) in suicide vests.

** Her introduction is great as she makes a perfect bid to assembled hordes: She gets the Saber and they all get to leave with their lives. Her reputation is so great, they just back up and let her have the Saber and she might have gotten away clean if Trakeena hadn't shown up.
* Leo saved the entire season with one pivotal come-from-behind-victory. The key to his success? [[ShirtlessScene Ripping his shirt off]].
* Speaking of Leo, in the finale, he was having a bit of trouble finishing off Trakeena for good. His solution? Hold her still and fire his battlizer. At full power. From point-blank range. Even though he knows the explosion could take him out as well.
** And then, after emerging from the rubble with his visor cracked, he flashes a weary thumbs up.

* The last three episodes are filled with Trakeena [=CMOAs=]. (Yes, baddies get 'em too.) [[spoiler: Suicide. Bomber. {{Mooks}}.]] And that's just one thing.
** Villamax cementing his NobleDemon status by refusing to fire on innocent civilians and confronting the newly unhinged Trekeena. Sadly, it was his exit scene, but he did buy the civilians time to escape.
** Of course, one of Trakeena's best moments was when Deviot pulled a [[TheStarscream Starscream]] on her for the first time. See, last Deviot had seen her, she'd just been Scorpius' bratty daughter, but was since trained by Villamax and TookALevelInBadass. So Deviot sends two assassins to do her in while she's fighting Leo (aforementioned ShirtlessScene)... and she ''owns them.'' After killing one of them, she pins the other against a rock with her leg (against its chest or neck, while standing on ground with other foot) and calmly demands to know who put her up to it.
*** ...and then Deviot kills him, pretending to be trying to save her from the attack, before he can talk. Sometimes, his sneakiness could be awesome, too.
** Speaking of Trakeena, Deviot and the finale, there's how it begins: After his brief dalliance with the suddenly very dead Captain Mutiny, ol' Deviot comes crawling back to try and weasel his way back onto Trakeena's ship. She refuses to listen and just has Villamax kick the ever-loving crap out of him. After a whole season of manipulation, it's just so ''good'' to see Deviot get what's coming to him.

** The moment when the In Space team shows up. At first only Andros appears, teaming up with Leo to save him from Psycho Red. Then in the climactic fight the other show up. It doesn't even matter that how they caught up with Terra Venture isn't explained, or that Zhane is a no-show. It's just that awesome.

** To wit, [[spoiler: Psycho Pink set up an attack on Terra Venture that would destroy the colony, using Cassie's space morpher as the power source (slowly killing Cassie as it drains the power from her morpher). Kendrix, the only other Ranger around, walks through several energy barriers, getting buffetted and tossed around by the overwhelming power, and destroys the weapon, getting killed in the ensuing explosion despite saving Cassie and the entire Terra Venture colony. Her spirit then comforts her grieving friends before departing.]] [[ManlyTears I'm not crying, you are!]]
