Time Force would've been better, I think, without him. And Forever Red would've been to.

The problem with this episode is a lot of fans over think it. Don't over think it Sentai. They simply wanted 10 Red Rangers for the 10th anniversary. The Quantum Ranger was filling in the gap left by season 2 that had no new Red suit or powers. Yeah Quantum Ranger is technically not a Red Ranger, but neither is the Alien Red Ranger (White was the leader of that group).

PS I'm indifferent to the Quantum Ranger myself. He filled out the series well enough, but does become unimportant by the end (due to TimeFire footage).
