Go To

Fridge Brilliance:

  • Why four Earthlings and a native Miranoin took the Quasar Sabers is odd when most of them never been on the planet? The sabers clearly choose those who are worthy and willing to go to great lengths to help other. Who better than four off-worlders who fight Scopius's forces without witness or reward? Even Kai and Damon went so far as to highjack the Astro Ship to help those stuck on Miranoi. That willingness is what earned them their sabers.
  • If one watches the morphing sequence of the Rangers, notice where the show producers placed the torso zig-zag pattern in relation to the Rangers' animal symbols in the background... (Hint: The zig-zag forms the teeth.)
  • When Leo sneaks onto the shuttle in the first episode, he finds an empty seat, even though people were clamouring to get on board. Well, the next scene has Bulk and Professor realising they left Skull behind on Earth. The empty seat was Skull's!
  • Terra Venture's trip itself. Remember that the end of the last season ended with the destruction of the United Alliance of Evil, and thus the majority of hostile aliens in the universe. If there was ever a time to explore the universe, that seems like a pretty dang good one.
  • Karone not getting any grief and instead being rather Easily Forgiven for the acts she committed during her stint as Astronema fall under this when one considers that she created the Psycho Rangers, which ultimately led to Kendrix's demise. You'd think the other Rangers would at least find it hard to look her in the eye until you consider that she only created them after Darkonda forcibly reverted her to evil via Unwilling Roboticisation. So technically, it's his fault that Kendrix wound up having to sacrifice herself.
  • Two apparent fridge logics: where do the Psycho Rangers comes from with Dark Specter destroyed? And how can they be destroyed using just two team finishers, while doing so during In Space just turned them to monster form? Actually, these two questions answer each other. They just had some inner power, but no source, so no giant monster form for you, (except for Psycho Pink, with a new source).
  • Watch the battle closely between Psycho Pink, Cassie and Kendrix. Psycho Pink kicks and throws Kendrix aside but only hits Cassie with the savage sword. Why? Because she was created to destroy Cassie, her programming is still in effect.

Fridge Horror:

  • Magna Defender's sacrifice. The guy had his son killed, then was trapped alone below the ground for three thousands years. When he finally gets out, he gets vision of his dead son telling him that he shouldn't be driven by revenge and is still a good person. Good and all, but that ultimately leads him to sacrifice himself to protect innocents while seeing his son telling him how proud he is. Repeat: a guy trapped alone for thousands of years has visions of his dead son which result into him killing himself as a redemption. We thankfully see them as spirits in the next episode, because otherwise, we couldn't have been sure that it didn't all happen in his head.
  • The ground surrounding the cave where the warrior that Karone turned into stone when she was Astronema is is littered with decaying skeletal corpses, some of them having been impaled with swords or other weapons. That in itself is scary enough, then you ask yourself how they ended up that way and realize that the likeliest answer is literally standing next to Leo. Just to drive this home, one of the skeletons suddenly comes to life and wails that Astronema did this to him while pointing at Karone, thus outing our latest Pink Ranger at this point as a mass murderer. And no, she hadn't been a victim of Unwilling Roboticisation when this happened, either.
  • Trakeena in the finale showed her obsession with killing the Rangers and destroying Terra Venture had gotten the better of her, but consider how much. In her mutated form she was able to repower Terra Venture's central dome and get flying again. She could have easily taken it elsewhere and gotten a new army, but she is so obsessed with revenge that she wants to subject her enemies to an ironic death via Colony Drop (from the remains of their own colony) that not does she not care about her ambitions for galactic conquest anymore, she isn't even concerned about her own life judging by the fact that at no point does she show any concern about dying in the crash herself.
  • Not only this, but the whole reason Trakeena became pure evil in the series finale after mutating with Deviot. Trakeena was lucky to find that her mind was still her leading force and she kept her body, having absorbed Deviot by chance when he dragged her in the Cocoon with him. However, because of absorbing Trakeena, she has developed many of Deviot’s traits, for example his deep, echoing voice and her now wearing some of Deviot’s armour. Judging by Trakeena’s new ruthless and pure evil personality, it’s more than likely Deviot’s thoughts are controlling Trakeena to kill innocent people, not just the Rangers. According to Villamax, the original Trakeena never would have destroyed innocents.
  • Karone only had the one outfit that she arrived in, that sexy leather getup she's best known for. Everything happened so suddenly so she didn't exactly have time to pack some clothes. Doesn't sound so bad until you remember leather's kind of hard to clean. By the end of her stint as Pink Ranger, her leather clothes probably started to stink but her friends were too polite to say anything. We don't see what goes on in the rest of the colony. Perhaps there are some people bullying Karone in a subtle "mean girl" way about her lack of available clothing options and/or the smell her clothes are taking on. Poor Karone.
