The title celebrating 500 episodes worth of Power Rangers
Fashionable101Added by Fashionable101

The Dino Thunder Rangers are in Dr. O's laboratory basement, panicking over his sudden disappearance. Ethan hacks into Dr. O's computer and sees his video diary, which explains his history as a Power Ranger.

Shortly into the video, Ethan pauses it so that he and Conner can let it soak in, that their teacher is the oldest living power ranger. Immediately, Hayley (from the Cyberspace Cafe) shows up and corrects them, that Dr. O is not the oldest; just the best.

After a commercial break, she admits that she designed the Dino Morphers, explaining that Tommy was good with fossils and bones, but is not a rocket scientist.

The Rangers and Hayley continue to watch more of Tommy's video diary while trying to think of some way to rescue him. After watching the history of Ninja Storm, Conner tries to show off some moves, and accidentally kicks the computer. Fortunately, that turned out to be a blessing in disguise, since it jogged the computer's memory and allowed Hayley to locate an Invisiportal to Mesogog's lab, leading to the next episode, Back in Black.

Cast

Additional Cast

Notes

  • It is revealed in the beginning of this episode that Ethan knows how to hack computers.
  • Conner claims to have had a twin brother who went to a "secret ninja school", saying that everyone there knew that a few students became Rangers. This is the third time a new member of the current Rangers has had knowledge of another team of Rangers. The first being Leo who knew Andros from the invasion of Earth, and the second is Carter & Dana who were familiar with the Galaxy Rangers.
  • Hayley claims that she and Tommy have known each other since Graduate school.
  • Hayley reveals that she knows Cam and considers him even better with technology than her.
  • A number of events/characters are not featured in Tommy's video diary: Wild West Rangers (justifiable, however, as only Kimberly met them), Tom Oliver, Masked Rider, the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers arc, Trey of Triforia, Auric the Conqueror, Blue Senturion, Phantom Ranger, "Countdown to Destruction", a redeemed Karone as Galaxy Pink (although she is technically seen morphed at the end of the Lost Galaxy footage), Mike Corbett, the Magna Defender, Alex and "Forever Red". Tanya is not mentioned taking over from Aisha Campbell or even by name, but is featured in the footage. Dimitria is also seen, but not named. The Machine Empire is only represented by Cogs featured in some used footage.
  • Joel Rawlings and Cole Evans are only seen morphed, either possibly due to contractual reasons or just a quirk of editing for time.
  • First onscreen naming of the Space Rangers' Astro Morphers.
  • The episode begins with the following caption: "Commemorating 500 episodes, may the power live on forever."
  • Conner, Ethan, and Kira do not morph during this episode, nor do they fight a monster.
  • This episode is similar to the first episode of Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, Counting on You! Turboranger, which is a clipshow giving an overview of the previous Super Sentai series.
  • There's a quote (see below) in which Tommy is said to be the oldest living ranger, which was corrected as he isn't even the oldest Mighty Morphin Ranger. At the time, the oldest living Ranger was probably Billy, whose actor was the oldest of the original six. The current oldest human ranger is Udonna (Merrick may have been born 3000 years ago, but he spent most of that time in cyrogenic stasis and has the physical body of a man in his 20s).

Errors

  • In the beginning of the diary, Tommy claims that Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Zack, and Jason were the Earth's first Power Rangers. In fact, the Earth's first team of Power Rangers was in the 12th century, which was around the time the Ancient Samurai Rangers battled the original wave of Nighlok.
  • Tommy claims that his friends were able to destroy the Power Sword to free him from Rita's spell, but the weapon's proper name was the Sword of Darkness. This is a repeat of Zack making the very same goof when the event actually happened.
  • Tommy mistakenly calls the Quasar Sabers the Galaxy Sabers.
  • Tommy's video diary also forgets to mention Mike becoming the Magna Defender and Karone replacing Kendrix as the Pink Galaxy Ranger.
  • In the diary, Tommy says that his Green Ranger powers were only temporary. He didn't mention anything about the Green Candle. if the candle hadn't burnt down, he would have permanently kept his powers. When Zordon gave Tommy enough power to the Green Ranger again, that's when his powers became temporary.
  • Curiously, Tommy's video journal made no mention of the Aquitar Rangers (aka 'Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers'), a team from a watery world that assisted the Earth Rangers at the end of MMPR Season 3.
  • Tommy's diary did not go into details about the mission of "Power Rangers in Space," only claiming that they fought and defeated Astronema, which wasn't even true, as Astronema learned she was really Karone, the sister of Red Ranger Andros, and the leader of the evil forces was Dark Specter.
