* AngstWhatAngst: Omega Ranger sure is chipper for a guy from a BadFuture that becomes stuck in another time and can't demorph without turning into a ball of light. And remember, Omega is [[spoiler: an older version of Sam, the kid that considered B-Squad his first real friends. In his original timeline, B-Squad died]] - a fact that doesn't particularly concern Omega at all when interacting with them.

** During the climactic fight in ''[[PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Once A Ranger]]'', each retro Ranger's theme song played during their segment of the fight (most had two shown). '''This''' is the theme that plays the longest, through Bridge and Mack's second sequence against Flurious all the way to the end of Adam's fight with Thrax.

** This may even be true in-universe: at the start of the series, Jack and Sky and Syd and Z have their respective personality clashes, but Bridge is the first to accept the newcomers while maintaining his relationship with the holdovers. And when the team presses Piggy for information on the alien who abducted Bridge in "Missing", Piggy says, "Oh, no. Not Bridge. He's the one of you I dislike the least."



** Another, albeit minor one is that they made the green ranger Jewish. However, Bridge being Jewish is [[InformedJudaism only mentioned once]] in a throwaway gag.

* SpotlightStealingSquad: Sky--dude, he got to use the Battlizer! In its debut (two-part) episode!
** Jack was this in the beginning, with even early episodes that are ''supposed'' to focus on the other Rangers (like "Walls," "A-Bridged," and "Stakeout") still intercut with scenes of how Jack reacts to their quirks and what he thinks about the situation. It gets better later on.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Doggie taking on 100 enemies after morphing for the first time. There's even a counter. If ever there was one; the Law of ConservationOfNinjutsu was in full force for that fight.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The interrogation scene in "Zapped." None of the Rangers' techniques work on the monster, but just a few moments of listening to Bridge ramble causes him to crack.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Jack handing Sky the SPD Red Ranger powers, so that he can take down the alien who killed his father (a former Red Ranger) as the Red Ranger.
** Even better: After the fight is over Sky respectfully gives it back, accepting Jack as the Red Ranger and leader.

** Tinkersam... pretty straightforward actually...
** The Sentai version, ''Dekaranger'', was known for its vehicles with names like Machine Husky and Machine Bull (as in bulldog), but these never made it into SPD except by accident. Enter the Jeep Wrangler, already a staple of the filmed-in-New Zealand seasons, now repainted in SPD colors, which led the fans to dub it Machine Dingo. Never mind that [[YouFailGeographyForever the dingo is native to Australia and not New Zealand...]]

* TheScrappy: Sam.Sam -- mainly because we don't know a damn thing about him. That he ''does'' appear in the finale, for all of three seconds, without his costume, was seen as an insult by the fanbase, and he rivals Cole and Justin for Most Hated Ranger Ever -- those two win because they have personality quirks and flaws that make them unlikeable -- Sam is hated because he ''lacks'' any of this, due to the writers bypassing him as often as possible. Bruce Kalish has acknowledged that Sam could have been handled better.
