Emperor Gruumm finds a wormhole to the year 2004 out in space, and goes through it in an attempt to conquer Earth in that time and make sure he is unopposed in the future. However, his plan is disrupted when he unexpectedly encounters the Dino Thunder Rangers. The S.P.D. Rangers must travel back in time and team up with their predecessors once more to stop him.

• We open on Gruumm, sitting alone in his darkened throne room, talking apparently to thin air.

Gruumm: I do not know why they fight for such a worthless planet, or their inevitable fate. But the fact remains that they do.

• Something glows behind him, and he is zapped by red lightning, moaning in pain.

Gruumm: I do not question our supremacy, or that we will be victorious! (he is freed) Preparations are in place. We are ready to leave, yes. We have undertaken a plan that will ensure us the conquest of Earth!

• The Terror is then seen flying through a large green hole in space, then vanishing. Cut to the Delta Base.

Kat: Power Rangers report to Delta Command Center immediately.

• The main 5 Rangers dash in as the alarms blare.

Jack: What's going on?

Cruger: Gruumm is gone, and so is his ship.

Sky: Yes. He's retreated!

Jack: WE WOOOON!

• All the Rangers cheer loudly, jump up and down, give each other high-fives, and so on.

Cruger: Enough!

Jack: Hello, hello, celebration time, you said it yourself, Gruumm? Is gone!

Cruger: Yes, he's gone. But I know my enemy, he does not retreat.

Kat: Commander, I've found something. I was scanning the far reaches of the Chimerian Nebula when I found this. (her monitor shows the green hole that the Terror went through)

Cruger: A wormhole?

Kat: Yes. A temporal wormhole. And there are traces of Troobian energy inside the rim.

Jack: Sounds like retreating to me.

Cruger: That's what he wants us to think.

Sky: Sir, then where is he going?

Cruger: The more important question… what time is he going to?

• The other Rangers look at each other nervously. We then cut back in time, to Reefside High in the year 2004. Trent (the White Dino Ranger) lay in the grass, sketching Kira and Ethan (the Yellow and Blue Dino Rangers, respectively) who are sitting on a bench nearby. Kira is strumming on her guitar, and Ethan is playing a handheld video game.

Ethan: Great. I was just about to defeat the dreaded Maxodrone when his evil ship comes by and destroys all that I've done. Can you believe it?

Kira: It's just a game, Ethan.

Trent: Yeah, you're acting as if it's real.

Ethan: Well, what if it is real? (Kira and Trent exchange looks) What if this game is really an ancient diary telling about a real event that happened in a distant galaxy, far, far away?

Kira: Ethan? Your mind is the only thing that is far, far away.

Trent: Ohhh!

• Ethan then stops a red soccer ball with his foot, and the Red Dino Ranger, Conner, walks up to them.

Conner: Hey, guys, what's up?

Kira: Well, Ethan's giving us a history lesson on something he learned on his handheld Geek Boy.

Ethan: Alright, you're right, you're right, it's not ancient galactic history.

Kira: Finally…

Ethan: But it could be the future.

Conner: Whatever. It's just a game.

• The four are then startled as they hear a loud noise. The Terror flies overhead; people run around and away from it, screaming. The Dino Rangers gape as a bright light shines on them, before it zooms away, then look at each other, stunned. The Terror is then seen flying slowly over a beach. Inside, Gruumm and Mora are in his throne room.

Gruumm: Earth 2004. We defeat her now, and then, when we return to the future, there will be no resistance to our conquest- if there is anyone left at all. (he laughs) Show me what you've drawn, Mora.

Mora: (holds up her book) Just this.

• A silver-and-red monster with tentacles on its head, who is never named in the dialog and is identified in the credits as “Vine Monster”, appears.

Vine Monster: At your service, master.

Gruumm: Excellent.

Mora: Yeah, yeah… I'm going to go play now.

Gruumm: No. I want you to draw more monsters, Mora. More! Make sure this time, we prevail.

• Back in Newtech City, 2025, Kat is lecturing Doggie, Jack, Bridge and Z.

Kat: A wormhole is a thin tube of space-time connecting distant reaches of the universe that could provide the possibility of time travel.

Bridge: Einstein's theory of relativity.

Kat: Correct. Commander?

Cruger: I believe Gruumm has become frustrated with the resistance S.P.D. has shown and has decided to take the Terror and his battle into the past where victory will be certain.

Z: We can't just let him do that.

Cruger: We won't. We will go after him.

Z: …Into the wormhole?

Cruger: Yes. But I am sending just the three of you. I can't leave the present unprotected. Say your goodbyes and report to Delta Launch in five minutes.

• Jack, Bridge and Z salute, and Jack and Z leave, but Bridge hesitates.

Bridge: Sir? When you say “say your goodbyes”, do you mean “say goodbye” as in “see ya later”, or do you mean “say goodbye” as in… “goodbye”? … Wait. Don't answer that.

• Doggie and Kat exchange worried looks. A screen wipe takes us back to Reefside High in 2004. Conner, Ethan, Kira and Trent are all walking in a forest of some sort.

Kira: Okay, next time you predict the future like this, could you at least make me a pop star?

Ethan: I didn't know it was gonna come true!

Trent: We've gotta find Dr. O.

• However, the villain Zeltrax, along with some Tyrannodrone foot soldiers, is waiting for them on a platform overlooking the path.

Zeltrax: Well, you've found me instead!

Conner: At least it's a familiar face.

Trent: Yeah, great.

• Back in the future, in outer space, an S.P.D. shuttle is headed toward the wormhole. Jack is piloting, with Z on his right and Bridge on his left.

Jack: Last chance. Anyone wanna turn back? (no response) Alright. Let's go.

• The ship zooms through the wormhole. The Tyrannozord's foot steps on the screen, transitioning us back to the past, where Conner, Kira, Ethan and Trent are facing Zeltrax.

Zeltrax: Rangers… we fight again.

• He and the Rangers are then surprised when he and his foot soldiers are engulfed in red-and-orange light and get sucked inside the Terror.

Conner: Now that's something you don't see every day.

• Fade to commercial.

• Fade back in on the Dino Rangers searching through the forest.

Trent: Wonder what they wanted with Zeltrax?

Kira: Does it really matter? Hopefully they'll take him into space and sell him for scrap metal.

Ethan: Whoever it is, it's all good. Zeltrax is gone, and so are they.

Conner: … Yeah, but they aren't.

• The four stare at the S.P.D. shuttle, which has landed in a clearing in front of them. Jack, Bridge and Z walk out and approach them.

Jack: Conner, Kira, Ethan, nice to see you guys again. …You must be Trent.

• The Dino Rangers exchange nervous looks. Meanwhile, on board the Terror, Gruumm is conversing with Zeltrax. He has the Vine Monster plus two more, both of which were presumably created by Mora, standing behind him.

Gruumm: So, you are the one they call Zeltrax.

Zeltrax: You know my name, and now, you will know my wrath!

• He moves to attack, but Gruumm blocks it, cackling, and brings Zeltrax to his knees. Mora smirks as Zeltrax is blasted with Force Lightning.

Gruumm: I have a proposition for you. You and your troops will help me strike down the Power Rangers… or I will!

Zeltrax: Stop!

• Gruumm lets him go, and he stands.

Zeltrax: No need to go on. Eliminating the Power Rangers… it would be my pleasure!

Gruumm: Excellent. My warriors will help you.

• The monsters cackle, before we cut back to the forest, where the S.P.D. Rangers are explaining the situation to the Dino Rangers.

Ethan: Okay, let me see if I have this straight. You guys are from the future, and you're Power Rangers?

Kira: And you're chasing an emperor named Gruumm, who's trying to conquer the future Earth.

Conner: And Gruumm came to defeat Earth now, so in the future he'd have already conquered it.

Trent: And you know these guys because they were brought to the future and helped you out?

Conner: Okay, let's go out on a limb and say you're telling us the truth. Why don't we remember any of this?

Bridge: (raises his hand) Oh! I know. We erased your memory, because knowledge of the future would have a detrimental effect on it, causing it not to happen in the random matter that it's supposed to happen without retracting it.

Kira: Wait, what did he say?

Z: We were hoping you could tell us. We've given up trying. (the S.P.D. kids' communicators then beep)

Jack: (looks at his) Krybots. I've got three separate readings. (to Bridge and Z) OK, we've gotta split up. (to the Dino Rangers) You guys stay here, this is our fight!

Kira: Excuse me, not any more. Your Gruumm has been teamed up with our mortal enemy, Zeltrax.

Conner: That's right. Your fight is now our fight.

Kira. Ethan & Trent: Yeah!

• Jack hesitates. Screen wipe back to Newtech City in 2025.

Kat: Oh, no.

Cruger: What is it?

Kat: This isn't good, Doggie. The wormhole… it's closing. If they're not back within three hours, they won't be coming back.

• Screen wipe back to 2004. An Orangehead is sending terrified people scattering.

Orangehead: Ha! I claim this area in the name of the Troobian Empire!

Jack: Not so fast, pumpkin head!

• He leaps toward the Orangehead, kicking it as he passes. He then strikes a fighting pose. In another location, an unmorphed Bridge is using his morpher.

Bridge: The signal's getting strong. They've gotta be around here.

• A shot from his point-of-view shows his morpher tracking Krybots… which are, in actuality, standing right in front of him. There are several Blueheads and some normal ones.

Bridge: Yuuup! I think I've found them!

Bluehead: Any last words, Ranger?

Bridge: S.P.D., Emergency!

• He morphs, poses with his baton, and charges the Krybots. The normal ones charge at him, and Bridge flies through the air, scrapping them as he goes (no, really). He vaults of a wall, backflips, lands and slashes at the Blueheads next. An Orangehead then comes out of nowhere and strikes him in the back, but Bridge is not fazed.

Bridge: Is that all you've got?

• It's not. The Orangehead fires, and poor Bridge is sent flying off a cliff.

Bridge: Guess not!

• He lands hard. Cut back to Jack vs. the Orangehead in town.

Orangehead: Prepare for the inevitable, Ranger!

• Jack charges, but is bested by the Orangehead's swords and kicked back to the ground. He then leaps up, spin-kicks, and blocks a blow from the Orangehead.

Orangehead: Just give up!

Jack: Now I'm mad!

• He seizes the Orangehead's sword blade, then flips over its head, pulling its arms behind its back with the swords. The Orangehead leaps at him when he lets go, so Jack drops to his back, drawing his Delta Blasters.

Jack: Fire!

• The Orangehead is sent flying by laser fire and is knocked into a nearby table and chairs. Back in the mountains, the Orangehead Bridge is battling flips down the cliffside after him, and he is ready with his baton. The two clash in midair, land far apart, and turn to face each other before the Orangehead charges him. Bridge charges back. In town, Jack is knocked to the ground by his Orangehead. Groaning, he gets up.

Jack: Now I'm really mad!

• He runs at the Orangehead, right through its retaliatory lightning blast. Bridge is still locked in combat with his, and is more or less an equal match. He blocks a blow from it, and the two kick each other back. Bridge takes out his knuckle sidearm and combines it with his baton.

Bridge: Time to get serious. (he fires his Deltamax Striker) Fire!

• The Orangehead falls over, sparking and groaning.

Bridge: Well, thanks for playing!

• Jack vs. Orangehead once again- Jack kicks the Orangehead in the stomach.

Jack: Time to say goodbye!

• He leaps into the air and spins over the Orangehead's head, pelting it with laser fire. He then poses, crossing his arms as the Orangehead explodes behind him.

Jack: Adios!

• Back in 2025, Doggie is at his desk, talking to Sky, Syd and Sam.

Cruger: The wormhole is closing. I need to go after the Rangers and warn them.

Sky: I'll go with you, sir!

Syd: I'll go, too.

Cruger: No. I need you here in case the unthinkable happens.

Sky: Sir… if you go back and we stay here, and Gruumm wins… then being here will be unnecessary. There won't be a “here”.

Kat: He's right, sir.

Cruger: Hmm. Alright, then. We will all go.

• Sky nods and steps back, satisfied. Back in 2004, Z has her morpher out and is tracking something on it, accompanied by the Dino Rangers.

Jack: Hey, guys, wait up!

Conner: Any luck?

Bridge: Just ran into a couple Krybots, we took care of them. You?

Z: No. Nothing. Which doesn't make any sense, because the Troobian energy around here is off the chart.

• An explosion then goes off nearby, out of which Zeltrax comes flying, moaning. He lands hard.

Jack: Hey!

• Zeltrax fires a blast from his hand at a morphed Tommy; it misses, and he leaps forward through the explosion, wielding his Brachio Staff, and faces off against Zeltrax.

Bridge: The Black Ranger!

Dr. O: Time to take it to the next level.

• He goes after Zeltrax again, and Jack spots something over Bridge's shoulder.

Jack: Uh, guys… I think we've got some more company.

• Indeed they do- a massive group of every type of Krybot is approaching them through the trees, along with some Tyrannodrones. All of the Rangers tense up and take fighting poses.

Bridge: Okay. What are those?

Conner: Tyrannodrones.

Z: Well, let's look on the bright side… it couldn't get any worse.

• But of course it can! The three monsters Mora created earlier in the episode appear. The other two are never named and are simply called “Green Monster” and “Spotty-Eyed Monster” in the credits.

Vine Monster: There's our enemy, comrades.

Jack: Guys… I think it just got worse!

• And fade to commercial.

• Fade back in on Bridge, Jack, Z, Kira, Conner, Ethan and Trent facing down a massive mixed army of Krybots and Tyrannodrones, as well as Mora's latest three creations. The Rangers, all tense, watch nervously.

Spotty-Eyed Monster: Ready?

Green Monster: Come on!

Vine Monster: This'll be easy!

• Zeltrax fires at Tommy again, and he leaps forward through the explosion, landing beside the rest of the Rangers.

Dr. O: Better late than never. You guys ready?

Jack: Black Ranger… I've read all about you!

Dr. O: Time to go to work!

Zeltrax: (as the monsters group behind him) Prepare to be defeated!

Dr. O: Let's go.

Zeltrax: You don't stand a chance.

• On board the Terror, Gruumm and Mora are watching, pleased.

Mora: Nice touch, using the T-drones along with the Krybots.

Gruumm: Yes…

• Back at the battle, the monsters are all cackling.

Jack: Ready!

Bridge & Z: Ready!

All 3: S.P.D., Emergency!

• A split-screen shows the full morphing sequence for all three of them.

Jack, Bridge & Z: Space Patrol Delta!

Conner: Not bad. But check this out. Ready!

Kira, Ethan & Trent: Ready!

• Their Dino Bracelets transform into their morphers, and the Rangers activate them.

Dino Rangers: Dino Thunder, power up!

• A split-screen shows the full morphing sequence for the four of them.

Dino Rangers: Dino Power!

Zeltrax: Attack!

• He and his monster army charge forward.

Rangers: Let's do it!

Jack: Okay, give it all you've got!

• They all dash headlong into the battle, each taking on several opponents at once.

Dr. O: You're toast, Zeltrax!

Zeltrax: Oh, really?

• The two clash briefly, before Tommy is sent spinning back and lands hard.

Zeltrax: Don't bother getting up.

• The cavalry then arrives as Syd and Sky leap into the action, blasting Zeltrax with their Deltamax Strikers, then Sam jumps in, punching Zeltrax back.

Syd: We thought you might need some help!

Sam: Let's do it!

• They charge forward, and Doggie walks in to help Tommy up.

Cruger: Sorry we're late. Someone forgot to send us an invitation to the party. Pleasure to meet you.

Dr. O: Likewise.

• The two of them then turn and charge down an attacking group consisting of Zeltrax, Krybots and Tyrannodrones, their combined badass factor almost melting the screen. Gruumm and Mora are still watching.

Gruumm: This is better than I could have hoped for! Victory is ours!

• At the scene of the battle, the S.P.D. and Dino Rangers, all wielding their respective weapons, stand in a circle facing outward.

Zeltrax: Surround them! This is your end, Power Rangers. You are outnumbered! Look at the size of my army!

Cruger: It is true, you have us outnumbered. But remember, it is not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog! No one gets inside our circle!

Jack: No one gets inside!

Conner: No one gets inside!

Sam: No one gets inside!

Dr. O: No one gets inside!

Sky: No one gets inside!

Trent: No one gets inside!

Z: No one gets inside!

Ethan: No one gets inside!

Bridge: No one gets inside!

Syd: No one gets inside!

Kira: No one gets inside!

Cruger: No one gets inside!

Jack: You've got it, Commander.

Zeltrax: Attack!

• The whole army charges, but true to their word, none of the Rangers lets them get inside their circle. They then break apart into groups to fight. Z and Syd scrap some Krybots with their batons, and Kira takes on the Spotty-Eyed Monster (hereafter referred to as SEM), but gets knocked back.

Syd: You okay?

Kira: Let's get 'em!

• And it's time for some girl power, baby. The three use weapons, flips, spins, and spin-kicks against the SEM. Syd does a series of backflips and handstands before she kicks the SEM, making him fall back. Z and Kira seize him by the arms, then do a double cartwheel-like kick on him.

Syd: Let's blast this clown!

• All three girls use their blasters and pepper the SEM with laser fire. He groans and falls over, and a massive explosion goes off, in front of which the girls pose victoriously.

Syd: Oh, yeah!

• Trent and Sam work together to battle some Krybots and Tyrannodones, Trent using his Drago Sword and Sam his fists and feet. Both manage to scrap a bunch of 'bots, before Sam rolls up and stands back-to-back with Trent.

Sam: Not bad!

Trent: Thanks. Check this out!

• He uses some super speed to zoom back and forth, effortlessly scrapping several 'bots and Tyrannodrones. Sam raises the throttle on his morpher.

Sam: How about this? Omega Morpher, Electro Mode!

• He finishes off the Krybots and 'drones with a huge electric bolt OF DOOM sent through the ground.

Sam: Hah, that did it.

Sam & Trent: Yeah!

• They pose as the defeated foot soldiers explode into itty bitty pieces behind them. In another explosion, Ethan kicks over the Green Monster.

Green Monster: Hey!

• Sky and Bridge then get in the fight, wielding their batons. Ethan kicks it again, before the boys stand in a group.

Sky: Okay, all together!

• The Green Monster shoots a lightning or energy blast at them.

Ethan: Look out!

• The three are sent flying backward. The Green Monster fires again several times, and as Sky and Bridge fly backward, they return fire with their Deltamax Strikers.

Sky: Fire!

• Green Monster yells and flails as he flies forward. Zeltrax fires at Tommy and Doggie, but their 9000+ Badass Skill means the attack misses entirely. The three then leap at each other, Tommy and Doggie striking Zeltrax in midair, and he lands and rolls before running back at them. The two Rangers work together, using their weapons and kicks to drive Zeltrax back. Zeltrax yells and moans with misery as he goes flying up after an attack by Tommy, and Doggie leaps up after him.

Cruger: He's mine!

• Doggie slashes Zeltrax repeatedly in midair with the Shadow Saber. He lands hard, and Doggie and Tommy stand together, Doggie putting a hand on Tommy's shoulder.

Cruger: That was great teamwork.

Zeltrax: This is no longer my battle, but I will see you again, Black Ranger!

• He disappears inside a green portal. Meanwhile, Jack and Conner are fighting Krybots, Jack with his Delta Blasters and Conner with his Tyranno Staff. They then turn to face the Vine Monster and more foot soldiers.

Vine Monster: We're taking you down!

Jack: I don't think so. Let's Battlize! S.P.D. Battlizer!

Conner: Shield of Triumph!

• A split-screen shows Jack transforming into Battlized Cyber Mode, while Conner becomes the Triassic Ranger.

Jack: Cyber Mode!

Conner: Triassic Ranger!

Vine Monster: Get them! Attack!

• The two pose with their weapons, then charge. Conner uses the Shield of Triumph to slash at and block attacks from Krybots, scrapping several of them, while Jack uses his own staff to fight with. He scraps two Krybots and defeats a Tyrannodrone.

Vine Monster: Get up, you fool! Oh, no!

• Jack and Conner charge, weapons at the ready. A double attack from the two Rangers makes the Vine Monster groan in pain, before a split-screen shows Jack and Conner changing modes.

Jack: Battlizer, Sonic Mode, yeah!

Conner: Battlizer Cannon!

• Jack sends out an energy slash from his weapon, while Conner fires a double-barreled blast from his.

Jack & Conner: FIRE!

• Bye-bye Vine Monster. Jack and Conner land on the ground and pose triumphantly as he explodes.

Conner: Yeah!

Jack: Alright!

• Back on the Terror, Gruumm is watching and is of course not happy.

Gruumm: No! I'll go down there and finish them off myself!

Mora: Not such a good idea, Your Hornship. Looks like the wormhole's closing. If we don't go back, we're never going back.

Gruumm: No matter. I will defeat Earth now!

Mora: Fine. But then you're also going to have to re-conquer all of the other galaxies and planets you've already defeated… because since it's 2004, none of that happened yet! So, if I were you… (Gruumm growls at her) Maybe…

Gruumm: VERY WELL!

• He raises his staff, which glows, and the Terror speeds off, presumably to go back through the wormhole. Meanwhile, the Rangers face off against the remaining foot soldiers.

Cruger: This is it, Rangers!

Jack: R.I.C.!

• He tosses the Key Bone, and R.I.C. transforms into the Canine Cannon, falling down to be held by all seven S.P.D. Rangers.

S.P.D. Rangers: Canine Cannon!

• The Dino Rangers combine the Tyranno Staff, Ptera Grips, Tricera Shield, Drago Sword, and Brachio Staff.

Dino Rangers: Z-Rex Blaster!

All Rangers: Ready!

Conner: Aim…

Jack: Fire!

Other Rangers: Fire!

• And two massive energy blasts decimate the remaining foot soldiers; they all fall down, their exposed wires and gears sparking. All of the Rangers pose as they call our their colors/names.

All Rangers: Rangers!

Jack: Red!

Sky: Blue!

Bridge: Green!

Z: Yellow!

Syd: Pink!

Sam: Omega!

Cruger: Shadow!

Conner: Tyranno!

Ethan: Tricera!

Kira: Ptera!

Dr. O: Brachio!

Trent: Drago!

All: Power Rangers!

• They all pose victoriously, as black, blue, yellow, red, pink, green and white-colored smoke shoots out of the ground behind them.

All: Defenders of Earth!

• And fade to commercial.

• Fade back in on Reefside High, where a clock is chiming- the Rangers are saying goodbye to each other.

Jack: Well, guys, it's time to say goodbye.

Conner: So soon?

Kira: Yeah, what's the rush? I mean, you're time travelers, right? So no matter how long you stay, you can still get back at the same time.

Z: Not true. The wormhole is closing, we gotta go.

Bridge: I really wish I could stay. I was just born last week, and I could meet myself and become my own best friend. … Wait. What if I met myself and I didn't like me? Or-

Trent: We understand, you guys gotta go. Thanks, guys. This has been something I'll always remember.

Sky: Unfortunately, we can't let you do that.

Kira: You're gonna erase our memories, aren't you?

Syd: Yeah. We have to. Knowledge of the future would only change what's meant to be. For better or worse. It's gotta be like this.

Cruger: (walks up to the Dino team) Say cheese. (he holds up a device, which flashes blue) School's over. Go home.

• Looking perplexed, the Dino Rangers take one last look at the S.P.D. Rangers, then begin to walk off.

Kira: … Did that dog just talk?

Conner: Uh, I think so.

Bridge: It really doesn't seem fair that they're not gonna be able to remember any of this.

Cruger: I agree. It is not fair. Say cheese!

• The device flashes, thus erasing the cadets' memories. They, too, look around, perplexed.

Jack: Uh, Commander? Excuse me, I don't mean to sound confused, but where are we?

Cruger: We're on a mission, Jack. Now get in the shuttle and buckle up. We have pre-set coordinates to take us home.

Sky: Sounds good.

• The cadets walk off toward their shuttle, all of them still a little confused as they look around.

Cruger: Now, one last detail. (points the device at himself) Cheeeeese.

• R.I.C. trots off after the others as they go to board the shuttle, and Doggie's own memory is erased. Sam is waiting for the others inside.

Z: You coming, Commander?

Cruger: Uhh, yeah. I think I'd better.

• Screen wipe to the Terror. Gruumm is alone on his throne again.

Gruumm: Yes. I have failed. I have underestimated the enemy. It will not happen again. That is not necessary! I can do this. Yes, your Magnificence. I will prepare… for your arrival…

• The camera slowly pans away from his face, and the episode ends.

• Series timeline: This episode seems to fit best during Badge, after the Rangers' debriefing but before Mora walks through the hidden door.
• Continuity error: The scenery around Jack abruptly changes in the middle of his fight with the Orangehead; this is due to the scene blending American and Japanese footage.
• Continuity error: When Jack gets out his morpher to summon his Battlizer, the stunt actor actually misses pulling it out of his belt entirely, but when the shot changes to in front of him, he's holding it.
• Oddity: Doggie didn't bother to erase the S.P.D. Rangers' or his own memories in History, so why does he do so here? It makes sense that the Dino Rangers would need to have theirs erased, so as not to effect their own personal futures, but why does it matter to the S.P.D. crew? In addition, Kat, Tommy, Sam, and the villains are all still aware of what happened, so why bother? Sam might not have mattered, since he's aware of and has been through a changed timeline to begin with, but what about the others? (Note the real reason Tommy didn't get his erased due to the fact that his actor, Jason David Frank, was not in this episode at all and thus was unable to physically appear to have it done to him, but this isn't an in-universe explanation.)
• According to this episode, Gruumm and the Troobian Empire's conquest of the galaxy started no earlier than the year 2004.
• As in History, Conner's name is misspelt as “Connor” in the credits.
• Tommy does not appear out-of-suit because, for whatever reason, his actor Jason David Frank was not able to appear in this episode, even to provide his character's voice. Trent's actor, Jeffrey Parazzo, imitated his voice, but he was not credited for doing so.
• Bridge mentions that he was born “just last week” when they go back in time; this means he was born sometime during the year 2004, but before the month of May, which is when the Dino Thunder team lost their powers. This would make him 20 or 21 years old during most of the S.P.D. series; this also contradicts his original character description and his profile on the Jetix website, both of which gave his age as 17.
• Ethan's game system appears to be a clone of or modification of a PlayStation controller with a screen attached.
• Zeltrax is voiced by James Gaylyn, who also played all of the Orangehead Krybots and Benaag this season, as well as physically playing the shopkeeper in Zapped. He also played this role in Dino Thunder; before that, he had a minor role in Ninja Storm as the “Ancient Sensei” in the episode The Samurai's Journey pt. II.
• The Green Monster was voiced by Alistair Browning, who previously played Jake Brooks, the father of Yellow Wind Ranger Dustin, in the Ninja Storm episode Sensei Switcheroo.
• Bridge explains to the Dino Thunder team that their memories were erased the last time they saw the S.P.D. team. However, even if they hadn't been, the Dino Thunder Rangers still would not know who the S.P.D. Rangers are; in History, they were taken from the year 2005, after they had lost their powers and graduated, whereas in this episode, the S.P.D. Rangers meet them in 2004, when they were still in school and had their powers- in other words, before the events in History took place.
• In a post-series interview, executive producer Greg Aronowitz mentioned that the original plan for the Dino Thunder team-ups was to establish that the Dino Thunder Rangers were the ones to make the first contact with Doggie when he landed on Earth to establish an S.P.D. branch there. Thus, their technology would combine with his to make the Ranger Academy as we know it today, a place to train people to become Power Rangers, and also started the blending of human and alien to create the cosmopolitan society as seen in the S.P.D. series. However, this plan had to be abandoned entirely when Disney produced a Dino Thunder DVD special that had the DT Rangers witness a short clip featuring their successors, thus invalidating the S.P.D. crew's idea.¹⁾
