This is going no where so fast. While I pretty much said what you said... you don't really have to participate if you don't like where it's going. I won't tell you not to, because that's not my place at all. But you don't have to.

The point I was trying to make was a valid critique of poor undeveloped plotting shouldn't get somebody labeled as "difficult" but okay, if this is where we cut it off then so be it.

I guess I'm just looking at the plot another way, but that could just be me. I'm fine with dropping it here. But just to be clear, I wasn't calling anyone difficult, I just said some people were being difficult about this particular topic. I don't want it to seem like I'm name calling.

Look Brady, This episode was only 30 minutes long. So a lot of story was probably cut for time. Also with the mention of JJ and the existence of the Master Morpher it's clear they are setting up the Soul of the Dragon graphic novel. Plus and you clearly seem to be ignoring it, but Catherine Sutherland confirmed on Twitter that Kat and Tommy are married and JJ is their son.

Frankly, I really don't get what people's problems are with Kat being Tommy's wife and mother of his child, my best guess is either some feel Tommy and Kat's relationship in Zeo was "forced" or it's just their 'shipping preferences. Some are annoyed it still isn't Tommy and Kimberly, even if that relationship ended in Zeo and was elaborated on in the Pink comic book from BOOM to a satisfactory degree. (Ideally, I'd love to know what happened to Kimberly after the Turbo movie, as the only thing we have to work on is an in-joke from fandom about her falling in love with Skull)
Oh, and Brady, I'm sorry if I was snapping at you yesterday too

Maybe he's ten (as Robootommy says Tommy hasn't been black in over a decade), JJ certainly sounds young enough to be that age

Also, T.J. mentions that he was hoping he was never going to hear Lord Drayvon's name again. Which means that some stuff happened not captured by a show's writer with a pen and with a director with a camera guy holding an active camera. Obviously, this "Souls of the Dragons" thing is cannon and take place before "Dimensions in Danger". That means that the same group of Veteran Rangers that showed up in this anniversary episode had fought the bad guy in the past. Antonio knows Tommy for like a long time - perhaps even BOFORE Legendary Battle - at least that's how I interpret their dialogue. Plus Wes says that any Ranger would trust Tommy. So we can assume Dr. O. has been busy ever since the end of DinoThunder in all areas (I'm not counting "Wormhole" since that fight takes place during the DT season). Time Force has been busy as well coming up with the dimensional portal technology, so we can assume Wes wasn't just writing speeding tickets since Wild Force.
"Dimensions in Danger" clearly shows that some more important stuff in the general PR storyline has been mounting and that some Veteran Rangers had been busy. So someone being married to anyone else and having a child with them is not a problem and it's not even worth fighting over it. Tommy has the right with to be married to (or not) and have a child with anyone he chooses (or not). The same goes for Kim and Kat and pretty much every Power Ranger. Myself - I'm happy for Tommy and Kat. Whoever isn't, it's their right not to be. End of story.

Soul of the Dragon is set in the future actually, when JJ is all grown up

Well, I don't know because ever since Super Megaforce happened. Continuity in Power Rangers has officially been flushed down the drain. All, I know is that 1) I don't see Tommy and Katherine wearing wedding rings on their ring fingers. Nor, do I hear Katherine addressing Tommy as either "honey" or "dear", etc. When he saved her life along with Gia, Antonio, Trent, T.J., and Rocky. And 2) Megaforce and Super Megaforce is part of the main Power Rangers universe and Dino Charge and Dino Super Charge exist in another parallel universe similar to RPM.

I wouldn't say the continuity has been flushed down the drain. It was already established back in MMPR that there were other Ranger teams (or just individual Rangers) fighting for their own planets and Galaxies: 1.) How did Zordon know that the Sword of Light (or whatever it was called) can transfer three Ranger powers from three leaving Rangers to three new Rangers? It has been obviously used a long time ago and since the Rangers go to an abandoned planet to retrieve it, that means that some kind of a fight (or perhaps even a war) between a Ranger team and some evil force took place there. 2.) When Master Vile turns back the clock on Earth, Zordon has no problem to ask the Alien Rangers for help. However, who would protect THEIR home planet while they were gone, helping OUR Rangers out in their time of crisis? I doubt that Ninjor would even give out powers AND Zords to a Ranger team that's irresponsible, so it's safe to say that there were, in fact, other active Ranger teams out in the universe, it's just that we didn't get to see them... until Legendary Battle. I imagine the Alien Rangers asked one of those Ranger teams to help them out (those Ranger teams being the "New Powers" teams) because the Aquitians knew that a particular Ranger team had finished fighting their enemies. When the time came for the Legendary Battle, the Alien Rangers had no problem leaving their home planet since the fight or Earth meant they were protecting Aquitar as well. 3.) One word: Triforia. How in the World would a mystery ranger suddenly appear and arrive to Earth in a pyramid-shaped Zord and have THE SAME powers as the Zeo Rangers? There had to be another Zeo Crystal somewhere, or an similar artifact that conveniently, provided Trey with the Zeo power, since Pyramidas was compatible with EARTH-made Zeo Zords.
Super Megaforce and Legendary Battle might have made a mess of the continuity, but "Dimensions in Danger" has done some continuity- fixing. Now we know Sentinel Knight restored some of the Ranger powers seen in "Once a Ranger", hence why Tommy was able to turn into DinoThunder Black with his Master Morpher in the extended cut of the 25th anniversary episode. MMPR Ninjazords could have easily been found by Time Force if its involvement to find them was necessary for some reason. Some of the Rangers in "Legendary Battle" could have easily been from other dimensions too, thus explaining some of the Rangers using multiple powers, thus eliminating the necessity for the Robot Turbos as well. RPM was already established to be in a different dimension and the same is now with Dino Charge. The continuity is fine, it just that some of the seasons aren't a part of the main dimension that we know and there are possibilities that some future seasons could also be set in different dimensions. Power Rangers has officially become a multi-dimensional TV series.

Wel, it's been YEARS since I last saw MMPR. Or any of the classic Ranger seasons - for that matter. It's good to know to have a good memory.
