** David Trueheart's actor Erik Frank (RL brother of Tommy's actor Jason David Frank) had passed away by this point while Frank Salsedo, who'd portrayed Sam Trueheart/True of Heart, was around 76 during the filming of Dino Thunder and living in Central/Southern California at the time. Given Dino Thunder was being filmed in New Zealand at the time, it may have been pointless to fly him out for one episode. That would explain why they don't come out for the one episode they'd be absolutely needed in, but it still doesn't explain why there's no mention of Hayley, Dr. Walsh, or anyone else mentioning calling one of them, Tommy's parents (who have never been seen on screen period), or even the other Rangers Tommy would have served with. While those calls could have and likely did happen off-screen, it's never talked about.

** Defense force maybe? Like...Tommy's been mind controlled by different villains, right, as have different civilians? It could be that he's trying to come up with something that can either defend against mind control or reverse mind control on mind-controlled Rangers or civilians. If not that, then trying to understand mind control better so he can come up with some defense against it, as he started his Ranger career under mind control and, with the exception of his White Ranger Powers and maybe Turbo due to the changeover, he's spent his Ranger career being mind controlled by one villain or another at some point during the season. While he might not totally understand mind control, he evidently knows enough to create a monster who can do it-which, you also have to wonder, how did he know how to create a MOTW with the ability to mind control powers. He was under Rita's control for who knows how long and just how much she taught him. I wouldn't put it past Rita to believe Tommy would not realize that he's under a spell and teach him to mind control others as an aborted plan to get the rest of the Rangers under mind control.

* How did Tommy get his Ph.D. in paleontology in less time than it usually takes-for reference, it takes anywhere from 8 to 11 years to normally get such a degree. At maximum, he's got roughly 5.5 years to get it given he's implied to have left after the school year at Angel Grove High School begins (as Justin is shown as taking classes and Kat's Miss Applebee's assistant during that same time frame). This allows him to have ''just'' gotten his doctorate earlier in 2003. Minimum, even if he's skipping right over his Master's degree, that would still take him a while.

** Off-screen reasons? Probably due to being limited to a 20-minute time slot. The red, white, and green rangers already had fairly short fights in the episode, throwing a fourth one in would have made their fights even shorter. Not to mention that three rangers allows them to tie it into a three-act structure. Secondly, they probably felt that two red rangers was probably a little redundant. Third, they already had trouble acquiring the three suits for this episode, getting a fourth one would have been more trouble and cost more money. Fourth, of all the Rangers powers Tommy has had, the red Turbo powers are the least iconic, largely because he was in Turbo for a relatively short period of time, so if any power had to be dropped, that one made the most sense. As for an onscreen reason, the most generally accepted theory is that having passed the red Turbo powers on to another person, Tommy no longer feels the burden of those powers.

* Also during 'Fighting Spirit', why does nobody mention calling Tommy's parents and/or Sam and David Trueheart? I can get Dr. Walsh giving Hayley, Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Trent updates as they're the ones who brought Tommy in (with a suitably good civilian story as to why they were with him at the time), but there should be mention of his parents or other family members as having been called and there's not. Granted, they're not mentioned (even if they should have been-like Sam and David at some point due to their Ranger-related relevance), but it still seems a bit off.

** Trent was shown, in the one dream episode, to have crashed at CyberSpace to sleep, so Hayley's probably given him a free pass to stay there as needed, or he's staying with Hayley, but had just crashed there because of the whole 'Mesogog attacking the Dino Rangers in their dreams' bit. Anton, in an earlier episode, also visited Trent at CyberSpace to give him the award that he (Anton) had won. Now, if Trent was actually ''living'' with his dad, that scene wouldn't have been needed unless Anton wanted it to happen in public.

** My bet is on the former. Zeltrax created Evil White though the evil elements of the White Dino Gem (which were blasted out of Trent), cloning components from a fallen monster, and the Geno-Randomizer. By those points, Evil White is most likely just a monster elite that looks like the white ranger with pretty much the same powers as him (similar to [[EvilTwin Metal Sonic]] from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'') who has a one on one with Trent in the end. Though, if you think about it, Disney most likely had to fix the plot holes, because the original show, [[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abaranger]] didn't have Abare Killer (Trent's Japanese counterpart) turn to the good side until the end. Thus, they had to find a way to get past continuity issues and created Evil White. I'm not sure they were thinking of a reason, and they were only trying to pick up the pieces so that Trent could be a proper [[SixthRanger 6th(?) Ranger]] that was a staple for Power Rangers.
