I'm still holding out that there will be an explanation for the new powers at least in the last episode. Maybe it will tie into why the past rangers just vanish at the end of every tribute episode. Maybe Tommy has a hand in all this when the new powers were teased in Dino Thunder. But Saban does seem to be really lazy. The most blatant example are the morphing sequences. They could have redone the morphing sequences to SPD to the American version, but no.Instead they used the sentai morph sequence that isn't even close to the American version. They just cut and pasted almost everything from the sentai. When they morphed into MMPR and Lost Galaxy in Samurai Surprise, they could have done a team lightning bolt morph for MMPR and a team galaxy morph sequence too. When they morphed into Samurai rangers too! They literally could have used the old morphing sequences and photoshopped the gokaiger suits on the characters during the morphing, but they couldn't even do that! Obviously they'll use the sentai time force morphing sequence, the sentai RPM morphing sequence, the sentai OO morphing sequence and the sentai Lost Galaxy morphing sequence, which are all VERY DIFFERENT from the PR versions. Again, I'm still holding out for an explanation on the new powers though.
