Power Rangers Zeo review
11 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The Plot: Tommy, Billy, Adam, Rocky, Kat and Tanya are turned back to their teenage forms thanks to the Zeo Crystal. The Command Center is gone but the crystal leads them to the new Power Chamber and all but Billy take on new Zeo powers

Pros: I the fighting techniques of the rangers, I enjoy the moments with bulk & skull were in this season they were cops, I like the fact that Billy took a different role in the show & some of the characters got more time to develop.

Cons: the Machine Empire were boring except for King Mondo who was ok for my liking, a lot of the photography were a bit dated & my god there's too many episodes.

Identity of the Gold Ranger:

During the middle of the series, the identity of the Gold Ranger was a constant teaser and a central plot theme. After many episodes of speculation, with other characters like Billy Cranston, David Trueheart, and even Eugene Skullovitch suspected, it was revealed the Gold Ranger was in fact Trey of Triforia, a new character. Former Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, obtained the powers of the Gold Ranger after Trey lost the ability to transform. Actor Brad Hawkins, who played Ryan Steele on VR Troopers, voiced the Gold Ranger early on. Saban had supposedly planned to use him after the end of VR Troopers as Ryan and put that series into the continuity of Power Rangers. However, for unknown reasons (believed to be scheduling conflicts), he was not used as the identity of the Gold Ranger, and instead Ted, Tim and Tom DiFilippo portrayed the three parts of Trey.
