Oh, and a side note... SPD is now alternate universe in my mind, even though I had it squarely in the main PR universe for awhile. Kind of makes me sad, but I can't shoehorn it in anymore. The timeline wont' work.

Sky would be 5 years old for the current (2011) ranger team, and it would be this team that his father would be serving on and dying for. There is NO WAY Jayden has a son. :D

Whenever a PR season has to fit into an alternate universe like RPM, I always remind myself that doesn't make crossovers improbable (For other fandoms, dimension hopping from one universe to another deletes the problem of trying to mesh seemingly contradictary canons into one world).

One of the things that I tend to be particularly stubborn about with PR theory is the notion that there is one timeline and everything's in it. IDK why general concensus on RPM is that it's AU in the first place, since it's far enough in the future that it doesn't buck any of the other seasons. I'm also rather in love with the idea that the slightly paranoid and Big Brotherish nature of Time Force came about as a reactionary response to the world's near-destruction by Venjix ( ... )

Hmm, well, my "Andros and Karone have two mommies" theory comes from the first minute of this episode, where they totally fail at using the same voice actress for all of Karone's flashbacks. XD

I also say that Turtle Cove and Silver Hills are both in California no matter what word of god says, because the crossover makes NO SENSE if Silver Hills is in Washington and Turtle Cove is in Colorado. (Also, doesn't Cole row row row his boat from the South American rain forest populated with monkeys from Africa up to a beach?)

Ooh, and lot of the PR cast has also guest-starred on Cold Case, so it's now my headcanon that these two happen in the same universe and that Danny worked briefly at a gay bar in Philadelphia. :D

Who the devil ever said Turtle Cove is in Colorado? O_o

I'm of the mindset that most, if not all, PR takes place in California or the general vicinity. My theory is that there's a reason why evil seems to be attracted and concentrated there, having something to do with the energy fields of the planet. And that's why Zordon built the Command Center there in the first place.

Also? I would like 'Danny at a gay bar' fic immediately, please.

The man in charge of the season (I forget if Amit was head writer, producer, or what, but titles within MMPR Productions are frequently much narrower than the person's responsibilities anyway. Everyone did everything, for a while at the beginning, and that never entirely went away).

But California still gets a ridiculously disproportionate number of villains targeting it, so your theories can still hold. Canonically, Master Org is in Turtle Cove because he's in Adler, and Adler is in TC because that's where he went back home to, so the California energy weirdness would have nothing to do with it even if TC is in CA.

Two theories here, and I'm starting with the shortest first.

Power Rangers in SpaceI see a lot in fanon that Andros and Zhane had another team before "From Out of Nowhere," but the evidence doesn't really seem to support it. In their flashbacks, we only see the two of them. No mention is made of other Rangers, and Zhane even notes that he's never met a female Power Ranger before Ashley--though, I'll admit that you can argue that it means that Pink and Yellow could have been male on KO-35 ( ... )

And a longer one for theory two:

RPMI subscribe to the alternate universe theory when it comes to RPM. While we don't see any actual dates given, the technology available in the prologue puts that portion no later than 200X--some unknown date between 2000-2009. So the Battle of Corinth may have happened around 2009 with the prologue in 2006, and then RPM in 2010. This effs up the timeline, so I think it all comes down to a major divergence: Rita Repulsa never was freed. Or rather, NASA got less funding ( ... )
