Comments:
  • Ernie mentions that the Power Rangers could do for Angel Grove what Batman has done for Gotham City. Does this mean Batman exists in the Power Rangers Universe. I'd most likely expect to see the 60's Batman.
  • Zack shows up at the Youth Center looking for the others when it was closed and everone has to rush to clean everything up. Doesn't Ernie believe in locking the doors?
  • Just to add to the interesting Power Rangers Universe tidbits. The Knasty Knight was used on Tarmac 3, and he made space dust out of its finest warrior.
