Comments:
  • This is the introduction of the long lived legendary character Tommy Oliver. It's really weird seeing how much the character has changed over the years after just watching Dino Thunder last week.
  • Zordon seemed to know that Tommy was the Green Ranger immediately. Yet in Zeo he didn't know that Trey was the Gold Ranger even after having to scan his life signs after he was injured.
  • This episode was titled "Out of Control", but is generally accepted as "Green With Evil, Part 1".
