Interesting points, I agree with some of them!

- Eric was one of the best simply because the character of Wes was already painted for us and Eric got to play the exact opposite - the nice guy who was always getting shat upon by those more fortunate, finally catches a break and refuses to be a team player simply because no one has ever helped him, so why start accepting it now? His and Wes's eventual bond that forms in the finale was very well done.

- It looks like the character Alex is supposed to be portrayed as the same as Jen when she first went back in time, but instead he comes off as a major douchebag. His bi-polar "I'll help you in secret, WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU DON'T F UP TIME, hey I just totally f'd up time for you!" personality was incredibly confusing.

- The ending. The writers have stated they wanted Jen to choose to stay in the past with Wes, but that the powers that be nixed the idea, as they didn't want to portray any type of lasting romance (same reason why the last on-screen kiss was Kimberly/Tommy in MMPR Season 1).

Time Force is, to my mind, the most overrated season of Power Rangers. Coming off of my all time favorite in Lightspeed Rescue, I had high hope for this series. They were quickly dashed. None of the heroes were in the least bit interesting to me. Jen was like a character from a fanfic. She's a giant walking cliche. Wes was supposed to be the hero but he always came across as milquetoast until the very end. Trip, eh. Lucas was sort of a watered down version of Kai. And Katie, I don't think I remember a single thing about her other than she was super strong.
The meka was terrible. The Time Force Megazord is the least appealing of all of the Megazords we had gotten up til that point, and it's still bottom of the barrel today. Q-Rex looked overly silly running through that same bridge over and over, and made no sense, really. To me it just screamed "WE NEED A T REX TOY!" The Transwarp Megazord may be the stupidest giant robot I have ever seen, especially when he punched himself in the ass to go back in time. But overall they were weak and immemorable. The villains at least were pretty strong. Ransik was a very good badguy. One of the best American exclusive baddies for sure. Nadira was annoying but I guess that was her point. Frax was an intriguing character in the second half of the series. Overall I tolerated Time Force more than anything else. This was not helped by the legions of PR fans who went insane over the series as it was airing (mostly because they WUVED JEN SOOOO MUCH). So I rated Time Force as "Bad" and will continue to hold that opinion.

Another thing I'd like to add about what I love about Time Force: the music.
For me, this series has the most epic soundtrack of Power Rangers. It was dramatic when need be, and made use of its theme well. For example, during the "countdown" before enemies were finished off, you would hear a musical track that sounded like a timer ticking down (appropriately). Time Force also made great use of leitmotifs. The opening theme song was thematically remixed in many ways, fitting each scene. It created a sense of continuity in the show. Best of all, I can actually hear the music in my head. Few Power Rangers series can make me do that!

Alex wasn't a nice guy, certainly. One thing though, erasing memory is just part of Time Force protocol. Notice that when Jen finally resisted, Alex stepped aside and even allowed them to use the Time Force Megazord to return to 2001. So while Alex was quite unpleasant, he wasn't really bad. He was just too strict and quite a bit selfish.
