And it would have been easy to do. Show the other three coming into conflict with them during training and then the first episode ends with Jack and Z being brought into the academy with Sky objecting but no one has become a ranger yet. Since premieres are usually two parts episode two would be months later and they all finally become rangers. I mean, Dino Thunder has quick little scene with Tommy to start and then it jumps forward a few years. I get that they were all chosen because they have powers and backstory but putting the rookie in charge day one just doesn't happen in real life. At minimum start Jack off as sharing the command with Sky.
