Maybe since Snow Prince got invovled they got a little leeway. But it wasn't stated on the show or implied. Maybe Sculpin was willing to take the chance to get to Leanbow. It still is weak though either way.
That's true, the Terrors did break their own rules but I like to think that it was because it was their mission to make sure that The Master revived and if it meant breaking the rules of darkness to do so then it was something that they had to risk.

Was Udonna taught by the Snow Prince or by Leanbow too? Just some unanswered questions to ponder.
I agree that he was't that impressive but it was nice to get some back story from back during ancient times. I don't know if Daggeron was the youngest or not but it's a good question and the same thing with Udonna.

again. I like how they have made him part of the plot, instead of just having him return before the finalie. The Terrors are actually trying to go after them. And now we are getting some convergence with the Udonna/Clare subplot. With Udonna being captured and Clare knocked out.
It was definitely nice to see him back in battle again and yes it was nice to see him be part of the plot.

I liked "Snow Prince" as an episode that didn't come off so fillerish and futhered the plot some more. Some of the Internal logic was off ( mainly with the rules of darkness violation) but it was an entertianing episode. It wasn't blow away great obviously, so I will give it a 6/10.
That was an awesome thing about Mystic Force, they didn't have filler episodes except for when Morticon was still around.

That's correct, Snow Prince was a female in Magiranger and he actually had a baby form as well. He was seen as a Heavenly Saint as were the others such as the one with the Gatekeeper powers and anyone in Mystic Force that we know has an Ancient Mystic Mode.

OF course the family aspect of the team is toned down to just being Udonna, Nick, and Leanbow. The Rangers did not get their Legend Armor the same way that the Magirangers got their armor. Leelee is an American orginal. As our Tobey and Phineas. I am not saying Mystic doesn't heavily copy the Sentai in a lot of key ways. But they do attempt to go about it in a bit of a different way.
You're right, Clare and Magiranger's Gatekeeper are far different. Magiranger only had one for instance and she lost her memory and I believe she did it on purpose. In Power Rangers there were two and according to Udonna Niella was just as bumbling as Clare was. Also you're right in regards to the Heavenly Saints thing being tweaked, there's no Saints in Mystic Force, it's just seen as a power-up for Daggeron and Leanbow.
Also you're right with the family relationships and in regards to the Legend Warrior powers. You're also right with Leelee, Toby and Phinas as well as the brief glimpse of Piggy and Piggy's lines that referenced S.P.D.

But its probably as close as PR will come to being original from this point on.
Yes it would be nice to have an original season again but Galaxy wasn't as original as you might think. Magna Defender's rivalry against the evil head leader for killing "Zika" was the same, it's just Power Rangers changed it to his son wherewas in Sentai it was his brother... and of course there was no Scorpius or Stingwingers in the footage. Furio was another one that was original footage even though the suit itself wasn't since Furio was actually a Megaranger costume.

The whole Lights of Orion stuff was basically the same as the Sentai.
The evil zords were basically the same, Sentai just didn't have the Galaxy Book to help them figure out the truth.
