Line 5:
*** Or they decided to start the show [[In Medias Res]] and are saving the [[How We Got Here]] episode for later, either for plot advancement or just something to help boost rating mid-season.
*** The most likely option is so they could "start with a bang." The show had to overcome a [[Channel Hop]] and being [[Un Cancelled]], so they decided to skip the [[T Developing Doomed Characters|exposition heavy]] openers and got right into the good stuff.
**** In my opinion this has actually worked fairly well. If you MUST air this show out of order episode three is actually a fairly good place to start since it tells you almost everything you need to know about the characters and where they fit in the [[Five -Man Band]] without explicitly shoving it in your face.
** Supposedly someone contacted Saban and they confirmed the episodes are not being played in their intended order.
*** But "The Team Unites" is a very premiere-y title. Do we have this on better authority than "supposedly someone?" Anyone?
Line 15:
** Rumor has it Bandai already made the suit designs thinking Shinkenger wouldn't be adapted, and since the Shinkenger's faces were often visible in the cockpit through their visors, they probably had to film new cockpit footage, so my guess they decided, since they had more of the Mega Ranger figures made, they decided to just throw it in. I kind of like it myself.
*** On top of that, the final giant fight of Shinkenger had the team in their street clothes in the cockpit; wouldn't exactly be easy to pull that off with PRS without new footage.
**** So why not have it as just a [[Mid -Season Upgrade]] instead of having it on the get-go.
***** [[Merchandise -Driven|To Sell Toys.]]
****** Plus, assuming they follow Shinkenger, there's already a mid-season upgrade, the Super-Shinken Mode. Adding the Mega-Mode at the same time would detract from it.
 
Line 192:
** He did just run off though. Maybe officially he was never taken off the team; he was still in the paperwork but he just never showed up.
 
* What is the point of [[Super Mode|Shogun Mode]]? I understand the Mega Mode was a necessity because of the redesigned toys made before Saban bought the show back and to replace the Shoudophones with the Samurizers and I can understand the Super Mega Mode and Mega Shark Mode as simply design changes that reflect what form a Ranger was previously in but I do not understand what the purpose of Shogun Mode is. I know the reason it [[Merchandise -Driven|exists]] but I don’t get what it does. Do we really need FOUR different forms for only piloting the zords? Why couldn’t Shogun Mode have been a Battlizer used for actual fights? As it stands it is completely pointless. It [[Informed Ability|supposedly]] makes the [[Finishing Move|finishers]] stronger but they look exactly the same and produce the same effect so there is no point. This becomes even weirder with the Samurai Spear; another new weapon just to make the finisher’s even stronger. Why does it exist if it literally does nothing and has no excuse for being used the way it is?
