Episode Review:

Most adult fans already saw this from the international airings. It was good but some fans wish it was a little longer or two parts. Fans did complain about Dino Thunder Ranger actors no being present. Most understand why the Mighty Morphin Rangers were not present. Walter Jones and David Yost have said they would not return unless the script was solid, included them significantly and the pay was worth going to New Zealand. It is unknown about Amy Jo, but I feel it probably has to do with scheduling, travel, and pay. Thuy Trang passed away but it is still debated if Trini is still alive. The Episode leaves it open if they are Aisha and Adam. This episode mostly only focuses on Jason. Hasbro probably only had enough money for Jason and four Dino Charge Rangers. Brennan Tyler says Shelby and Riley's actor did provide voices but were unable to travel to New Zealand. 

I don't think it deters too much from the episode since their presence is quick. Ideally yes I would like them back but I know the reality. Would you fly to New Zealand only for one line and not enough compensation? Sure, if they paid probably and Hasbro had enough budget, they would probably have more lines and more scenes. But that is ideally. It is what is. What concerns me is the Morphin Grid. The Morphin Grid never displayed visions (unless you count Troy), meteor deploying capabilities or being able to call Rangers. It does display a magical element that was present in Mighty Morphin. Zordon often used advanced technology that was like magic. It was an interesting episode nonetheless and shoutouts to Dino Charge and Dino Thunder. Now, would I put it up there with Dimensions in Danger? Yes, I would. But where I put it with classic teamups like Forever Red and Once a Ranger? What do you think? Comment below.
