See, that is where I differ Locke. I care barely stand the Disney seasons due to either the super powers the rangers had to have in every season from DT on, the ridiculous villains (a Luchadore reject, Disco Skeletor, and the Miser Bros), or the explosions that could give Michael Bay an orgasm. OH, and the music of some of the series (like MF) is down right dreadful.

The rangers in Saban's era had to rely on their skills to defeat the bad guys. Astronema and Zedd put those Disney ones to shame in both looks and seriousness (honestly, Mezogog is the only Disney villain I felt was an actual threat). The music fit the show and they were not trying to pull off Matrix styled effects.

That's why the Zyu2 footage starts up immediately after Doomsday. So Doomsday is rescripted a bit, and the series continues.

As Saban is working through the Zyu2 footage, the stuff from Dairanger becomes available. Hence the removal of the Dinozords and the introduction of the Thunderzords, but still Zyu2 monsters for a while. The monster that causes the end of the Dinozords is a Zyu2, for instance, Pirantishead. When the Zyu2 footage is exhausted, the monsters from Dairanger begin.

Kind of. I'm 5 episodes into the next disc and except for the third episode, the other four episodes have been either a reuse of old footage with no actual monster in it (unless you count Norman Pudgy Pig and the crystal ball as monsters, in fact, both episodes use the same Goldar/Scorpina fight sequences) or the only other two left over ZyuRanger monsters they did not use in the first 40 episodes. So far, the Goo Fish episode is the only one that uses Zyu2 footage. I think I am at the point when they do actually start using Zyu2 though.
