Alpha was not Zordon's friend
 

Alpha 5 was just a tool for Zordon. He. had no emotional attachment to him . And was willing to sacrifice him if necessary. Since he could just replace him with Alpha 6. Its likely Alpha 5 was forced to sacrifice himself form Zordon on Eltar. Zordon never let him leave the Command Center. Even in emergencies when it could save his life. Even Hartford has much more regard for Mack. Not to mention actual effection.

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's.friend
 

This is just absurd Zordon treated Alpha like family. He kept him in the Command Center to protect him. Zordon loved Alpha like a son. If anything happened to Alpha on Eltar Zordon would feel responsible. But it wouldn't be his fault. I think Alpha is still alive though.

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's.friend
 

Amit said years ago that Alpha 5 died when Eltar fell. I don't think it had anything to do with Zordon sacrificing Alpha though. It was clear they were friends. Even if Alpha could be a little immature at times.

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's.friend
 

I completely disagree. Zordon did show emotional attachment to Alpha otherwise he wouldn't have been so concerned about him in "The Wedding" as well as in "A Friend In Need."

Zordon had no issue with Alpha leaving the Command Center it was Alpha's own choice of whether he wanted to stay there or not and he usually chose to stay. Zordon was only upset with Alpha leaving the base in "The Wannabe Ranger" since no one was there to monitor for problems with Zordon powered down and Alpha being outside.


that was when Amit wrote Forever Red which was over a decade ago so whatever he thought is no longer valid since he no longer works for the show.

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's.friend
 

But its never been contradicted. Tommy used Alpha 7 in "Forever Red". Who had the same exact voice as Five. Wouldn't he have just used Alpha 5 if he was alive?

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's.friend
 

Thats because Alpha 5 was too busy on Eltar. Or lerhaps went back to Edenoi.

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's.friend
 

my point is that he wrote Forever Red with his belief that Alpha 5 was destroyed on Eltar but it was never said on-screen so his word means nothing and because of which anyone can contradict it if they work on the show. He no longer works on the show so his word means nothing the only ones who have any say in what goes on with any of the characters at the moment is Chip and his team of writers.

exactly he could have remained on Eltar but in hiding or he could have went back to Edenoi.

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's friend
 

Edenoi was destroyed shortly after Dex left. It was cut from "Friend In Need". The Masked Rider TV show is actually a fictionalized version of Dex's life. This is why Nadiera is able to watch scenes from Mask Rider in TF. Dex defeated Dragon and went on to get his own TV show afterwards.

I would take Amit's word of god over any writer. Amit is the best writer we ever had. Its a shame he didn't get to stick around longer. I can't believe Saban Brands didn't do anything with his excellent pitch for Samurai

Re: Alpha was not Zordon's friend
 

Zordon and Alpha had a business relationship. There was no friendship involved. The same was true for the Rangers.
