Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Ecliptor. Rita, Zedd, and Divatox turn human and he dies.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Dark Specter and Darkonda. Astronema briefly borders on this trope when Dark Specter gets her Drunk on the Dark Side, but she gets better.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: In the finale, Bulk and Skull initiate an [[I Am Spartacus]] moment. Later on, they lead the civilian charge against the armies of evil. Doubles as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
Line 9:
** Adam showing up to help Carlos, while taking back the powers of the Black [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Mighty Morphing]] Ranger.
** Bulk and Skull's [[It Has Been an Honor]] handshake before heading into battle.
* [[GoodA TroiDay Episodein the Limelight]]: "True Blue to the Rescue" is looked upon as a good Justin episode, not only resolving dangling plot lines from the end of ''Turbo'' but providing a more proper parting between the characters.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Several.
** T.J., having been demoted from Red Ranger to Blue Ranger, was guaranteed this slot.
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Melody Perkins as Astronema gained quite a few fans from this series.
* [[Fanon]]: The United Alliance of Evil being the name of the collection of [[Big Bad|Big Bads]]. It actually comes from a throwaway line in ''[[Power Rangers Zeo]]'' about King Mondo having broken away from something called the United Alliance of Evil - just who and what that is isn't expounded upon, and the name is never used at any other time. It makes a pretty good name for PRiS' villain group, but [[Canon]] it's not.
** Also in most stories where Karone becomes a ranger [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|as opposed to canon]] she will usually be the purple ranger based on the color of her honorary ranger outfit.
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Take a long, hard look at Mega-V3.
** Andros seems to be obsessed with his sister.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: "When Push Comes to Shove" and its 9/11 analogues. The episode featured Cassie and a guy she's on a date with trapped at the top of the tallest building in Angel Grove as a beast is trying to knock it to the ground, trying to send Angel Grove up in smoke.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: It was shocking how effectively dramatic this show got (while still having the cheesy charm of the overall series). This is especially noteworthy as it came after the unpopular Turbo.
* [[Good Troi Episode]]: "True Blue to the Rescue" is looked upon as a good Justin episode, not only resolving dangling plot lines from the end of ''Turbo'' but providing a more proper parting between the characters.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: It was shocking how effectively dramatic this show got (while still having the cheesy charm of the overall series). This is especially noteworthy as it came after the unpopular Turbo.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Astronema's "I wouldn't want to be a Power Ranger anyway!" Numerous production issues resulted in the actress becoming the Pink Ranger halfway through [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|the next season]].
** Kind of a meta example, but in the full version of the theme song there are the lyrics "Long live the Power Rangers." To elaborate. "In Space" was meant to be (and was in fact written as) the finale of Power Rangers as a franchise. This addition to the lyrics reflected this mindset, but if one looks at it from today and notices the 12+ seasons that followed...
Line 29:
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Andros' cloak from his [[Establishing Character Moment]]: he shows up with it for [[Power Rangers Lost Galaxy|both]] [[Power Rangers Wild Force|of his]] future team-ups.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Dark Specter brainwashing Astronema after her [[Heel Face Turn]]. It worked so well at turning her evil, it resulted in a [[Plan]] on her part that nearly killed him THAT HE NEVER FOUND OUT ABOUT.
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: Alpha 6. He started out in ''Turbo'' as a [[Totally Radical]] [[Replacement Scrappy]] for Alpha 5, and the show surprisingly redeemed him by making him even ''more'' of a [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]], to the point where he's a straight [[Expy]] of 5. [[Vocal Evolution]] played a big role, [[The Nth Doctor|trading in]] the annoying [[Big Applesauce|Noo]] [[American Accents|Yawk]] accent of [[Catherine Battistone]] to [[Cute Shotaro Boy|cute little brother]][[Cross-Dressing Voices|-ish]] vocals of [[Wendee Lee]].
** Justin's return episode helped ebb a lot of the anger at his character, as despite everything he represented (an attempt to appeal to the kids), he was still a Ranger, a member of the team and there was some genuine emotion between all of them.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: The staff, because of their reduced budget due to the failure of Turbo, must've been like, [[Atop the Fourth Wall|"Screw it! It's the last season and we're gonna pull out all the stops anyway. They don't have footage of flying in space? Fine, we'll just shoot it ourselves and have them model against a green-screen. It looks terrible, but who cares? Move on!"]]
Line 38:
* [[The Woobie]]: Andros, [[Stoic Woobie|Ecliptor]], [[Jerkass Woobie|Astronema/Karone]] and [[Minion with an F In Evil|Waspicable]].
