During Dino Thunder the episode where it showed Tommy's video diary about his life as a Power Ranger and the history of the other Power Rangers, it was canon proof that Dino Thunder existed in an alternate continuity to the rest of Power Rangers up to that point or all Disney PR is alternate continuity from the Saban PR.
Sword of Darkness was called Power Sword, the name given to Jason's Power Weapon Sword of Darkness was destroyed by Tommy with the other's help (instead of Jason destroying it), it also wasn't what was causing him to go out and tried kill the other Rangers. Green Ranger Power was said to be only temporary not stolen No mention of Katherine being under an evil spell No mention of Vile, nor the Rangers turning into kids No mention of the Alien Rangers having come to Earth, to save the Rangers asses after failing miserably No mention of the Zeo Crystal Quest No mention of Trey as Gold Ranger No mention of Phantom Ranger nor Blue Senturian Command Center destruction means loss of Turbo powers contradictory to known cannon which states that the Turbo powers came from Eltar No mention of any Battlizers other than Leo's No mention of Scorpious No mention of Magna Defender nor Mike No mention of Karone replacing the first Ranger to ever die, nor the dead Ranger's death and resurrection No mention of Ryan being evil at first No mention of Alex, nor his death and resurrection No mention of Merrick being the evil Zen-Aku first No mention of Forever Red in the video dairy about the history of his life as a Power Ranger (which is really odd considering he was frakkin there) Specifically states that Tommy has no Ranger powers at the time in direct contradiction to Forever Red (he creates evil with Mercer, yet he doesn't keep his Zeo Powers handy just in case he may need to clean up his own frakkin mess) |

DinoThunder actually proves that Power Rangers has always been one timeline. "Legacy of Power just had a few errors and condensed the story for time. Doug has made it pretty clear that DinoThunder is not an AU. The only Power Rangers season that could be an AU is SPD. Since Greg said that he thought of it as one. But I am not so sure, since we had a team up. Its possible its an alternate future though.

What I have seen disproves Power Rangers has always been one timeline.
Those few "errors" in Legacy of Power were glaring in your face *$!*% slapping errors for a man who supposedly cared a lot about PR. He should have been more careful and done the slightest amount of research. They have the series bible for that it was just plain lazy and stupid of him not to use it. If he intended to prove one big timeline he $#!!++ so bad it is beyond salvation unless they gather the actors back together redo the episode and actually fix it with an apology at the beginning for %$*%*!# up. Doug can say it a thousand times that Dino Thunder proves one timeline the show itself disproves it multiple times in one episode. |

Actually, the "errors" prove that, storywise, Tommy was covering his own ass in how much he really did as Evil Green. Other things left out were done for time, we all know this. You're just trying to start a fight form the looks of it.
Doug said it was meant to be in the main timeline, Ann said it...I'm sorry, word of producers and writers trump a fan saying "Well, I SAY because of what I view it as." Only SPD as presented is an AU, word of producers. |

Okay, very delayed since I've been busy, but I just had to address this.
Quote:
Word of writers and producers, as well as blatant intent of series trumps word of a fan trying to stir trouble. I saw no contridictions in DT to being in the main PRU, just Tommy ommitting facts, and covering his own ass to make himself look better...and to gush on how "utterly awesome" Andros was. And yes, the series bibles from anything PRE-PRNS were destroyed, we got a LOT of confirmation on this from multiple inside sources. Doug would have had to watch TEN YEARS worth of the series in order to keep "perfect info" on that one. I think he'd rather try and work from memory than spend months trying to watch every single important episode of the series. Inconsistencies in the video diary are easily chalked up to variable reasons for them; such as Tommy's own memory, not knowing ALL the facts about things after he left the Rangers in Turbo, and Forever Red itself..Classified. Possibly under some kind of restriction never to discuss it. BTW, it's buffoon, not "bafoon". If you wish to look smarter and "better" than everyone else like you act, spell it correctly. Otherwise, you look like just another an idiot. |

That Zordan was freed from capture and the evil was still there.

Re: Power Rangers Alternate History
A lot of the "What if?" ideas are interesting such as Jason retrieving the Green Candle in time so that Tommy would have never lost his Green Ranger powers which means there'd be no White Ranger.
No Command Center malfunction which means Rito and the 4 monsters wouldn't have destroyed the Thunderzords. Quote:
Oh, Zack called the Sword of Darkness "the Power Sword" right after Jason destroyed it. So I guess by your standards, that would mean that's not in continuity either? Quote:

Sure, they've made mistakes, they do it all the time, doesn't mean it's the "end of the world" or it doesn't mean "this proves without a doubt it's not just 1 timeline." Quote:
I agree with the video diary. Regardless of what "Forever Red" claimed or implied, the video diary retconned that with Tommy no longer being a Ranger. We have no knowledge as to why. Did he decide to no longer want to be a Ranger? We don't know. We do know however that the video diary claimed that most of the Rangers had retired. It may have been true at the time but some of them likely had a change of heart. Not to mention the whole Sword of Darkness being called the Power Sword and the Quasar Sabers being called the Galaxy Sabers. It's Tommy who had been known to have a forgetful memory. Not to mention he was just narrating over the history that was being 'retrieved' by whatever system they were using. Quote:
Sure, you can look up things that you might not be remembering or look at the clips you're putting in to make sure the names of things are correct but who knows why they didn't do that. The fact of the matter is, with the video diary, they only had so much time so things could only be condensed or neglected. None of the teamups were mentioned no matter how important they were. Just because they weren't brought up doesn't mean it didn't happen. There was just no time to bring it up. Sure, it'd be nice to bring it up but is it a deal breaker? No, it's not. You bring up anything additional and something else would have had to be cut or shortened. They had to include Ninja Storm even though it just happened the previous year. That doesn't really mean anything. Zordon only said shattering his "Energy Tube" would destroy the forces of evil. The "forces of evil" can really mean anything someone wants it to mean. |

Disney destoryed all the Series Bibles when they took over Power Rangers. But I am sure Sloan, Ann, and Jackie know PR well enough.
I forgot to mention that Tommy most likely lost his Zeo powers after "Forever Red". The video actually makes it sound like all the other Rangers teams have been depowered by DT. I'm not sure whether I believe that fully or not. The ommisions in Legacy of Power were more time related reasons. I have to watch the episode again. But they weren't really major mistakes. I am sure Tommy has a more complete history written down somewhere. |
