* If Alex is Wes's descendant, then why does he not seem to care about his [[ScrewDestiny supposedly inevitable]] death in the finale? Wouldn't that erase him from existence?
** Apparently they can’t sent reinforcements to the past because the timeship is destroyed. However, they’re sending the Megazord components back in time every episode, each of which has a seat in it.
** Considering that the morphers are genetically encoded, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to assume that the same applies for the zords in the sense that only the Rangers themselves could use the zords safely; at best they won't work if anyone but the assigned Ranger tried to use them, and at worst... well, probably best not to speculate.

Like it says. In the toy ads, instead of any of the show's sub-villains, Ransik's sidekick was some bald guy with a ''Franchise/StarTrek''-ish [[RubberForeheadAliens rubber forehead]]. Who is he? Was he someone intended for the show but left out? Does he have a name, or even a two-sentence bio somewhere like {{Transformers}} non-show toy 'characters' have? ''Does he even have a toy?!'' I always wondered what his deal was.

** Presumably, it was to keep the teamup from being too similar to the Sentai teamup it was adapted. The real question is why did she stay evil? She was betrayed by Queen Bansheera just for failing too many times and Diabolico immediately turned on the queen after she got Loki killed? She has no real reason to still take revenge on the rangers and every reason not to.

*Why, of all the villains from the previous season, was Vypra chosen to represent them? Not only was Jinxer's fate ambiguous enough that him returning wouldn't create any PlotHoles like her's did, but they had sentai footage of his counterpart interacting with the two teams.

**Simply put, they don't have the means to cryofreeze them on the spot, only refreeze released criminals. Keep in mind that Ransik's base is the prison where these criminals were kept and frozen in the first place. And even if they did have the power to do so, it wouldn't paint a very pretty picture if they went around freezing citizens without judicial process.

** There's also the fact that he willingly surrendered and was clearly remorseful at that point. Freezing him would have just been a bit of a "kick him while he's down" moment.

** The series opens with Ransik's capture and sentencing, where he was going to be subjected to cryofreeze when the convoy reached the prison. Nadira simply busted him out before the sentence was carried out. The thing about things like the Rangers weapons reducing the various monsters to their toy size - sorry, returning them to cryofreeze - is that those weapons aren't deployed at the time, probably on the basis of giving these criminals the opportunity to be judged. Remember, every mutant that the Rangers fight was already serving a sentence. It's one thing to put a criminal back in prison. It's another thing to summarily act as judge and (functional) executioner in the field.

So everyone's super sad because they have to leave forever ( until the reunion, but shush) and they'll never see each other again, they'll miss each other etc... but why? They have TIME MACHINES, and a whole police system based on them. Why can't they, you know, visit? Maybe they can't stay, but still, couldn't they visit at regular intervals, hang out, party, have pizza, etc. I know Wes shouldn't go to the future, but why can't Jen and co come visit him?

* Even Timeranger has the same policy. TimeYellow specifically told the Gokaigers to not interact with anyone in the past. That somewhat failed but they did manage to convince Daigoyou to not let the Shinkengers and Goseigers know. In Time Force's case, it's the same reason. They don't want Mr. Collins to get any bright ideas and do something stupid, like causing further disruption to the timeline when things already got out of hand when the future Time Force Rangers showed up to stop Ransik in the first place.

I'm not entirely sure how it's supposed to work as a punishment. They're not conscious when they're in stasis, so wouldn't it just be like you go to sleep, and the next thing you're being woken up decades later (but physically you haven't aged a day) and your sentence is over? Not to mention how the first episode features Ransik being sentenced "for life"; wouldn't that just be an infinite sentence when you remember they don't age in stasis and thus would never die?

** Considering that every mutant we saw get frozen was ''re''frozen (and often after a battle with the Megazord or the full Ranger team), it's possible that the process of freezing a mutant prisoner in the first place is rather complicated, and they also wanted to give Ransik an actual ''trial'' rather than just freeze him without giving him a chance to say his piece.

* Random character was random. The toy commercials seem functionally disconnected from the show, and I doubt the Ransik actor in that one was Vernon Wells, so it was probably just a random mook for the purpose of having Ransik have an underling - they might have had a Ransik outfit for modeling purposes for the toy, but not any of the other villains, so they just tossed something together.

** Consider our prisons: sometimes people aren't sent there to think about what they did and become better for it, they're sent there for good because they pose a danger to the rest of society. Cryogenic freezing is an ultimate example of this: its not so much punishing the criminals as keeping them frozen and locked up forever, away from innocent people. In this case "for life" probably means "never getting thawed, ever".
