Line 24:
* [[Chest Insignia]]: A triangular team logo patch on the shoulder.
* [[City of Adventure]]: Angel Grove
* [[The Dragon]]: [[Co -Dragons]] Elgar and Rygog
* [[Five -Man Band]]:<!-- Please keep in order of team role (Hero then Lancer and so on), not Ranger color or rank or whatever.%% -->
** ''Configuration One'':
*** [[The Hero]]: '''{{color|red|Tommy}}'''
Line 84:
* [[Cool Car|Cool Cars]]
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: Rangers defeated, going into space to rescue Zordon only because they can't just stand idle, the villains have something big in the works...
* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: In "Trouble by the Slice", the way that Carlos kept turning around and missing {{spoiler|[[Laser -Guided Amnesia|the amnesiac Divatox]] working as a waitress}} in the pizza parlor.
* [[Cousin Oliver]]: Justin.
* [[Dance Battler]]: Once Catherine Sutherland started doing her own fight scenes, Kat's fighting shows a lot of ballet influence.
Line 93:
** [[The Bad Guy Wins]]: Yes this is the only PR series where the villain manages to legitimately defeat the Power Rangers. It's a fleeting victory, but one nonetheless ([[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphin]] ended similarly with the power coins destroyed and the Command Center blown up, but it left what we saw kind of vague, which obviously led to ''[[Power Rangers ZEO]]''. There is no question what happened in this series).
* [[Ear Worm]]: [[In-Universe]] example; it's used as a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnCZvf0NEuk form of attack] in "The Song of Confusion".
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys]]: Bulk and Skull were turned into chimps for the first part of the season.
** As part of possibly giving them their own spin-off.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: {{spoiler|Possessed Kim and Jason in the movie}}
Line 115:
* [[It Got Worse]]: T.J. sacrifices the damaged Rescue Megazord to try to destroy Goldgoyle... it fails. Goldgoyle destroys the Turbo Megazord and the Rangers sacrifice their weapons in a desperate attempt to destroy him. Then in rapid succession, they learn Eltar has fallen, Dimitria and Blue Senturion leave, Divatox destroys the Power Chamber and everyone learns Dark Specter has captured Zordon. Arguably, the worst day for a Ranger team ever.
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]: Justin
* [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Divatox.}} Bonus points for it actually coming from a laser (well, a teleport ray turned [[Up to Eleven]]).
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: Divatox only becomes a competent villain in the finale. Every actual victory or close victory against the Rangers was done only from someone more competent than she is, such as her mother (advice on separating the Rangers from their leader), General Havok (Metallisaurus and kidnapping the Phantom Ranger) or Goldgoyle (effectively a hired mercenary). Her raid on the Command Center at the end was appropriately nasty, but it comes across as a victory she really didn't earn.
* [[MacGuffin]]: The Millennium Message, Justin's lucky coin.
Line 132:
* [[Promoted Fanboy]]: Blake Foster was a huge fan of the show and absolutely thrilled when he was offered the part of the Blue Ranger. Even at Power Morphicon in 2010, he said that being a Power Ranger was every kid's dream and that he kept his helmet and costume.
* [[Punny Name]]: The Blue Ranger's initial zord is called 'Mountain Blaster' and was intended for Rocky.
* [[Put On a Bus]]: The Phantom Ranger leaves shortly after his spotlight episode later in the season. In the final episode, Dimitria, Blue Senturion, Justin. Two of these four have serious hatedoms, ol' Blue's not exactly popular, and Phanty still presents more questions than answers, so some of this is an [[AuthorsAuthor's Saving Throw]].
** And that's not mentioning Rita, Zedd and their forces in [[The Movie]], Rocky, Zordon and Alpha 5 in the opening episodes, the rest of the former [[Power Rangers ZEO|Zeo Rangers]] halfway through the season, Detective Stone at the end of the season... Pretty much everyone who was a member of the [[Power Rangers ZEO]] cast, with the exception of Bulk and Skull, when you think about it.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Detective Stone took over running the Juice Bar, because the actor playing Ernie had to leave the series due to health reasons.
Line 151:
* [[The Unsolved Mystery]]: ''Nothing'' about the Phantom Ranger is ever resolved, outside the fact that he needs his Power Ruby to survive. We don't even know his actual name or title; "Phantom Ranger" is a term that T.J. coined to describe the mysterious invisible warrior that appeared.
* [[Villain Ball]]: [[Double Subverted]] at the end of the season. Divatox manages to decisively defeat the Rangers, destroying their powers, but before she can finish them off she is ordered to withdraw.
* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: The Pirahnatrons' theme talks about how they're goofy and useless; which is quickly proven true whenever it's played. [[Downer Ending|But when it's not...]]
* [[What Could Have Been]]: There were originally plans for Bulk and Skull to get their own [[Fawlty Towers]]-esque spin-off series, where they run a hotel with a Mexican Elvis Presley impersonator called "El Vez". Which explains why both Paul Schrier and Jason Narvy left the series so that the producers could add chimpanzees to the show roster (with Schrier and Narvy still providing voices, though).
** Somewhere exists a directors cut of the Turbo movie. I believe it was around forty minutes of footage cut from the final product...
