If that were true, then the promo is semi-false advertising and will get people's hopes up that the other Sentai teams are in it, only to dissapoint them.

They've opened Pandora's Box where this is concerned.

I hope they can at least find a way to explain them in the show.

The legend war is the best way to introduce pre-zyu teams to PR's, I don't see why fans are getting their panties in a bunch. Why can't they just be alien PR teams? We know there are rangers elsewhere in the PRU, it's really a very basic explanation that fits in one sentence and is actually very logical. To the target audience most teams outside of the recent ones are all going to be brand new to them anyway, to them Time Force rangers are just as never before seen to them as Jetman.

It's also occured to me that, rather than take the time and energy to find veteran actors to come back and guest star in episodes, they can just get new actors to play "veteran Rangers" we've never seen before, thus making the show a bit more cheaper to produce.

I just thought of this and I thought you guys could figure this out for me...Billy,Tommy and four others graduated. Jason was with them for that half season of Zeo through the second movie. Did he return to Angel Grove High for his final semester or did it say how his education continued? Thanks.

They never touched upon that, no.

All we know about Jason post-Zeo was he spent some free time with his aunts and then went diving with a visiting Kimberly in the movie. Next thing we know he's a chubby drifter with an attitude in "Forever Red" and he has his original powers back.

There have been several "word of god" off-screen explanations for all of this, but nothing substantial on-screen.

Also, according to original series developer/writer Tony Oliver, Spike is not Kimberly's son...whilst another member of the creative team said Kimberly married Skull a while ago, so take what you want from that.
