Comments:
  • S.P.D. stands for Space Patrol Delta.
  • The A Squad Power Rangers have modified versions of the Space Rangers helmets, with a Green Ranger in place of Black.
  • Sky mentions that his father was the Red Ranger, and Anubis responds by saying that he was the best of the best of Rangers. Could they be talking about Jason or Tommy? Sky's last name is Tate, but he could've been adopted.
