The moment we've all been waiting for.
-Oh god, Keeper's back. -"I've had a vision of many rangers in a mighty battle" Yeah, we all saw Legendary Battle. -...Why is Devon acting like that's crazy? -I don't trust Keeper either. But this is a weird spot to call him out. -I like the little glimpses of Cruise's personality that they so often forget to show. -Oh look, hit by a meteor. -And... Nate and Steel have the wrong morphers. As always, I love the attention to detail. -I like the original footage here. -"Goldar Maximus" ...Okay. -Cue theme song.
Break.
-"Goldar's back!" Arguably. -Damn. -This moral is so pointless... -He's gonna... step into the Morphin Grid. -"The Morphin Grid sent this to me" ...So the Morphin Grid is like... alive? And omnipotent? -Well, here it goes. -Here he comes... -JASON! -I like that they remember Zordon's wave killed Goldar, not the rangers. -As questionable as the methods for getting him are, seeing the first red ranger with the current red ranger is just awesome. -I knew they'd find a way to bring "Dinosaur DNA" into this. -"We don't have time for introductions" Well damn, Tyler. -Frontal attack? It's time! -Busted.
Break.
-"That's not an army." It kinda of is. -Alright, hearing Jason say "It's Morphin Time!" again is awesome. -BOOOO on the Instamorph. -IT'S TIME! -...Did they darken the footage? -...Wow, they butchered this footage. -Ivan calling Roxy "M'lady" was funny, though. -"Robot Vanquished!" I missed Ivan. -...They used the Dino Thunder vs Snide scene but not Goldar vs the MMPR team? WHAT THE HELL? -Why are we cutting to Evox instead of focusing on the thing we've all been waiting for? -Wow, that was... pointless. -"Dino Power Ultra Blaster!" Well that's... a name. -Yeah that's... clearly just a giant monster and not a zord in the slightest. -"THAT ZORD AS SIX HEADS" Alright, that was funny. -How are the rangers hurt this bad? -Dino Zord Time! -The old cockpits! -At least they didn't butcher this footage too bad. -It will never not be cool seeing a new zord combine with an old megazord. -I feel like "Virus Extinct" would've been better, but whatever. -Yeah, that's not even kinda Conner. -"Rangers Forever! Defending Together!" Stop. Please. -Yeah, they REALLY should've gotten Kevin Duhaney back for this. -Jason's speech at the end was nice. Cheesy, but nice. -One last video game reference.
That was... kind of a letdown. But the road there was worth it and it did have some highlights.

A good episode today. Nice to wrap up the multi part team up special. It was fun seeing dt and mm rangers with bm and DC teams. Same with seeing Austin back as jason. I thought he was used well and had some good lines in the episode. The fights where pretty good too. Also it was fun to see dt and mm zords again. Overall a solid team up. Sure a few issues but still overall good one.

I have gone back and forth on this...it was nice to see Evox pilot a 'zord', great to see some lore going on with the explanations they had for dino zord creation, and establishing that contacting Ranger teams seemingly gets tougher or requires special precautions
But...man, giving Jason nothing to do, not an update on how he's been, not a clue as to why his coin wound up in a meteor, and there's a distinct lack of continuity communication between this and 'Making Bad' with Goldar Maximus...they act as if he is a different relation to the original, when the clip show establishes he is the original in a different body. Methinks one was written and produced before the other.
Connor of the Dino Thunder team even got a few lines, when that could have went to Ethan's actor if they had arranged things better with him.
The moral of the story didn't really need to be there, all it kind of tells us is the morphing grid is willing to hurt people to teach them things..a PR twist on 'why is God angry?' if you think about it too much during your mid-life crisis.
It's not a bad episode, and I do think Dimensions in Danger is a better one for overall story, but there's still some interesting hot takes, and it was a great live experience in the UK. A lot of my views of this half of the season are informed by how excited I was watching them live.

Honestly it was pretty awful. It wasn’t painfully awful like Once a Ranger and it didn’t have anything that made me want to throw things like Wannabe Tarzan blowing up Serpentera with his EcoGod given motorcycle. But it wasn’t good.
As far as these multi series cross over episodes go
Legendary Battle (come at me bro) Dimensions in Danger Forever Red (most overrated episode of the show’s 27 year history) Grid Connection Getting kicked repeatedly in the dick Once a Ranger

Okay we getting right to business. Keeper poppin outta nowhere in a ship. Aight Devon showing all signs of being irresponsible Welp theres that meteor! Why is Tyler not morphed? I like Goldar 3000 Rangers are getting mopped!!! All because of you Devon! Youre still selfish. You should be demoted How do you not trust the morphin grid by now They should really let past rangers have facial hair Why is Jason voice so dramatic😂😂😂😂 welcome back Nice set up for the battle. Jason voice still killing me. Why is dino thunder rangers here and no legendary ranger in sight. Oh wait that was suppose to be JDF but we all know ASJ and JDF cant be in the same room. Good set up for Dino Fury though Here we go. Zord battle OMG ALL THE GOOD STUFF IS RUSHED!!! I love the graphics Evox zord was nice! They gave Jason some the worst lines Welp thats over. Imma say it... ABSOLUTE TRASH!!! The writing for this episode was hideous. I was glad to see Jason but man everything about this episode was WRONG! It was just way too much. But oh well not gonna vent about it. Just gonna give it a 2.

EASILY ONE OF THE WORST TEAM UP EPISODES EVER!!!! I used to thought Disney was Satan was ending crossover episodes back in Mystic Force. But Christ the best team-up episode in the modern era has been Clash of the Red Rangers.

Adult Power Rangers fans get way too bogged down in fine details and can't seem to ever just enjoy anything.
Crossovers in PR have rarely, if ever, explained the mechanics behind getting multiple teams of Rangers together because the mechanics aren't the point.
There's also a difference between what the audience knows and what the characters know, and although Ravi does correctly deduce and infer that Goldar Maximus is a resurrected and upgraded Goldar, it's also an easy thing for Devin to have not paid attention to.
There is a part of me that bristles a bit at the use of transdimensional portal devices for instances where we know such devices are unnecessary, but that's really neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things.
There have been better team-up episodes done in the past, but this was still pretty good overall and a nice way to end the story arc that started with Intruder Alert.
The one thing I wish had been made clear, though, is what happened to Avatar!Blaze and Avatar!Roxy, because if they were both permanently destroyed, it was a little bit anticlimactic.

In fact, this crossover was better than Dimensions in Danger. Better build-up, even if the pay off, was stupid. And it wasn't the Tommy Oliver show. NO MASTER MORPHER!!!!! Sure, Dino Thunder actors didn't appear actually, just suited, but actually they did the effort to bring most of the DIno Charge team. Bringing back ASJ was awesome. Not-Goldar was the worse of the team up. The rest was OK. Forever Red have better explaining, and I dodn't care if COle with a bike destroyed Serpentera, which was one of the most contrived zords ever, because it can blow an entire planet, but casually it can be used only once, before running out of power. Meh. Once a Ranger is indefensible. Moving on. Legendary Battle (extended ver.) was better? Probably. We all have to apologize to Megaforce/Super Megaforce....

Meh. It uses a lot of power so it waste a lot of power isn’t really contrived though. In addition to the whole motorbike defeating overpowered oversized mech just being plain stupid the whole existence of a motorcycle being created by a God that hated pollutions is one of the single dumbest fucking things to exist. Give him a flying surfboard or magic pegasus or some shit if you hate pollution so much you twit

Plenty of things in life to be mad about. Power Rangers should never be one of them. This team-up gave you three fracking Megazords rather than a bike, yet you still aren't happy. Go outside. Your problem is you ain't ten years old anymore and you never will be again. You know how dumb Pokemon is? That show don't 'grow with you' either uso.
