These 2 are still as Beautiful as EVER!!!

Crazy how both Austin and Steve both wanted raises for the whole cast during their time on Power Rangers. Red Rangers really looking out for the Power Team!

You hit the nail on the head by saying, "It was confusing for kids." I was seven years old at the time and the biggest Power Rangers fan you could imagine. And I loved the CHARACTERS as well as the robots and spandex outfits. I missed Passing the Torch when it first aired, so one day I went to tune in to Power Rangers and almost the entire cast was different except Justin and I was genuinely upset. And the episode I happened to be watching wasn't even acknowledging the fact that the team was completely different, which frustrated me so much that I stopped watching for years. As much as I love the PR franchise, these behind-the-scenes stories are so unfortunate, but I really appreciate you guys sharing what really happened. Love your channel!

Both Nakia And Catherine Are still looking Beautiful

I remember when I was like 10 and Jason came back on Zeo as the Gold Ranger and cried. Was so happy that he returned. Power Rangers meant so much to us growing up :)

[seanmartyn]

It makes me happy that these two are still best friends decades later, really cool to see 😊

Transparency, honesty & positivity all the great things you get on power rangers playback and this episode is another example of those great qualities that this channel brings to youtube 💛💖

I really feel like they should have written the entire second half of Turbo differently to have the new Rangers around in the story, but not have them take up the torch until the very end of the season. Say at the end you have Tommy, Kat, Tanya and Adam say that they can’t chase Divatox into space because it would leave the earth unprotected, but then have TJ, Carlos, Cassie, and Ashley (who have been in the story for half of Turbo) step up and volunteer to go into space. That would have been a much smoother transition.

[NickyHelp]

The way they said it, it sounds like they didn't choose to leave. They clearly hinted that they could've stayed until Turbo was over and were not ready. And You know what? I personally enjoyed the relationship between Kat/Tanya and Justin. They both were like big sisters and motherly figures to him. Especially since the Turbo movie.

I felt like bursting into tears to hear this story but I was happy that we had the new cast and that made second half of Turbo better and how In Space became one of the most popular seasons

[JacobElyachar]

I am glad that I watched this video. Thank you for being so forward and honest with us, Cat and Nakia! Keep up the great work, ladies!

Why were the contracts only through the first half of the season? Thank you for sharing these stories with us and the great info. Terrible how poorly you guys were treated with pay and getting replaced just like that, but it's nice how you still appreciate the show and what it's brought you and fans.

Passing The Torch was the end for me for a long time. I had been with the show since the beginning, and by then had no interest in watching a mostly all-new cast. I only vaguely kept up with it through seeing toys & commercials for years after that. I did watch DinoThunder since Jason David Frank came back for it, and I always watch any reunion episodes where vets such as yourselves make a special appearance. I love that you guys keep up the legacy of Power Rangers!

[maxordman]

My account was down for a long time but it’s all fixed now! I have heard wonderful things about your channel and I’m very pleased with my first preview. You two are still beautiful and fantastic! Glad to join your subscribers! Power rangers forever!

Yeah, it's crazy, as a kid, I never actually noticed the edits and workarounds myself, but when Austin, Thuy, and Walter left the set... it's actually pretty amazing they were able to limp along for like 10 whole episodes (using re run footage, story heavily focused on JDF, David, and Amy so the others only appeared morphed most of the time, (it's super obvious now, but as a kid it flew right over my head unnoticed), then slowly introducing Steve, Johnny, and Karen as a team themselves who helped the Rangers, and became integrated with them as friends before the actual Power Transfer episode made them full official Rangers while Jason, Trini, and Zack finally left soooo many episodes after their actors...
Even when Kat came in. Same thing, had a whole arc, while they also introduced Kim's motivation for growing and leaving the team, had Kat come over to the light, redeem herself, be a valuable asset to the Rangers before taking over (Karen to Nakia and Steve to Blake were also relatively clunky transitions, but involving single team members was slightly easier to gloss over, though it would have been better if they had the same treatment...
Now the whole Turbo Team, we get like 2 or 3 episodes to introduce their replacements, no real indications of anyone wanting to leave in story (no Peace Conferences or International Gymnastics competitions built up) just "Hey, here's some new friends... Ok they're all the new Power Rangers, a couple of them haven't even met who their taking over for!"
It was just so sudden and even rewatching, knowing what to look for, it still feels out of the blue, just a wall, wham, new team for ...reasons

Thankfully Selwyn, Roger, Tracy, and Patricia got their chance to shine, and prove themselves worthy (They were perfectly fine in Turbo, just the aforementioned changes were the only things holding their characters reputations back, independently they were great... and In Space they got to prove that separated in their own season away from the bit of a mess of Turbo (which despite all of it's oddness, I still like Turbo more than a few other seasons of the franchise which came later lols))

[marvranger]

Damn could you have imagine kat and tanya in space would've been epic. thank you for making this channel love hearing your thoughts and insight on the show. <3

[Rayanaman]

I love the chemistry between the two of you ! Your videos are very sincere, and i like the relaxing vibe of your discussions ! Greetings from Switzerland ;)

[RyuGekin]

Life as a Power Ranger is a thankless job.
Either Zedd is always on your ass, or Saban is trying to pick your pocket.

Thank you both for sticking through it. It sure means a lot to the rest of us.

[sonic]

Just stumbled upon your vid and wow, this is blowing my mind, it's so cool to see you both talking about all this, I wanna thank you both for all your hard work on the series...

And yeah, it was confusing for us kids back then. I was one of the kids... I had the full Zeo set of figures AND the full Turbo set of figures and... because... incidents... in which one of my iolder brothers played with fire, well, I... no longer have the full Turbo set... yeah... he destroyed them all, but, yeah... I want to thank you both for all the joy you brought me as a kid and I'm sorry that they had such a bad tendency to let rangers go for.... asking for being properly compensted.... ugh. Remembering the toys I had in my collection and the popularity of the characters, you guys *deserved* more money. You deserve the adoration of us fans

[Yashael]

I recently started watching Turbo with my kids. As a kid, I had somehow missed that Adam and Tanya were an item! Y'all were great together.
