Power Rangers: Turbo

The third series of the Power Rangers franchise (and the fifth season overall), Power Rangers Turbo is seen by the fan base as one of the worst. Set after the events of Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, the evil Divatox is back, and along with Elgar, Rynox, and new villain Porto, she returns to Earth to get revenge on the Power Rangers for ruining her plans to marry Maligore so she can the universe by his side.

In the three-part premiere, Zordon and Alpha 5 leave for Eltar, and the rangers get new help from Alpha 6, who talks in a New York accent and has a different catchphase, and Dimetria, a wise woman from the planet Inquiris, who at the start, answers the Rangers' questions with more questions (and Divatox's sister, as some believe), but as the series goes on, she does become more of the traditional mentor. While I like Alpha 6 for having more of an attitude, Dimitria I never liked at first, as she always spoke in questions, but in the second half, she would stop it and act more like a traditional mentor, redeeming her somewhat.

Being set after Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Justin returns to be Rocky's replacement (as Steve Cardenas, who played the character, decided to leave the show, with some saying he wanted to focus on his martial arts career). In the second half, all but Justin get replaced in what is called the worst episode ever. There were many rumors as to why this happened, with some sources claiming it was because of a change in creative staff, while others claim it was because the Screen Actors Guild approached the actors to try and get them to join the guild, meaning Saban would have to pay them more money. Regardless of the reason, it would start the second half, which would fix the problems of the first.

The series is mediocre at best. The series did have episodes with good morals (one episode, Built For Speed, had the Rangers stop two teens drag racing), but sadly, there are episodes that serve as nothing more than comedic filler (like Trouble By The Slice, an episode infamous for having Divatox working in a pizza place, and making a monster that tried to bake the rangers into a giant pizza). Adapted from Gekisou Sentai Carranger, a season that was more lighthearted to the point where it was considered as Super Sentai making a "parody" of itself, Turbo did a so-so job adapting it into Power Rangers lore (especially with the action).

This series destroyed my liking of Power Rangers! I know that the movie for this was nothing short of terrible, but why drill it into the ground and make an even more terrible series out of it?

Let's start with the "zords" first of all: they're frigging' cars! There's nothing more to do... well I stand corrected with all the other PR series at least.

Secondly, the villain: you could've done better than a space pirate that does nothing but scream. Terrible acting, bad fight scenes, bad monster names... I could go on and on... but I won't.

0 out of 10

Overall, I liked how it started out in the first two episodes of the follow-up to MMPR and PRZ along with new characters taking the role as the red, green, yellow, and pink ranger, but some of the other episodes' story lines were quite weaker, but not completely unwatchable and some of the dialog is quite atrocious. The villain was OK, but nothing special especially when Divatox can sometimes can be a bit annoying. Aside from it's flaws, though, I like some of the main characters along with the sidekicks as well thanks to it's perfect acting. The fight sequences are amazing, but I think that the megazord sequences steal the show along with the two-part finale. I know some of you are going to hate me for this, but I think that PRT is a pretty decent follow-up. Not excellent, but I've seen much worse shows.

i was a bit shocked when This series got a few negative reviews in the user review section on IMDb. I'm not sure why people hate this season. I thought this series was one of the best power rangers seasons ever made this is one of my favorite power rangers series

when i was 7-8 i've enjoyed power rangers turbo and i like it cause it was so funny

the acting is great the Story was good

the special effects and the sound effects are spectacular

the power rangers turbo theme song was awesome

the fight scenes and the Megazord battle scenes are Spectacular the Morphing Sequence is Spectacular

the Finishing Moves for the Megazords are Epic

alpha 6 was funnier than alpha 5

Th turbo Zords and rescue Zords are so cool and fast and powerful and awesome

the Megazords from this show are super awesome

Blake Foster was the best part of Turbo because he made this series interesting as a kid being a Power Ranger. but i still don't get why anyone hates Justin

New rangers TJ and Carlos and Ashley and Cassie are so cool there names are cool and tommy and Adam and Tanya and Kat were very cool

but too bad tommy won't return in power rangers in space tommy will come back in the wild force episode (forever red) and Dino thunder

bulk and skull are very funny as chimpanzees in the 1st half of turbo (a lot of fans thinks it was one of the worst ideas ever but i think it made anyone laugh) bulk and skull turned back to normal in the end of Honey, I Shrunk The Rangers: Part 2 and then in the 2nd Half of turbo bulk and skull are now humans

the main villains are great and funny Elgar was one of the most funniest villains ever and hes funny when he hangs out with Divatox

Elgar will return in Power rangers in Space but too bad that hes not funny When hes got beat up by Ecliptor and Astronema

Divatox is so funny

The 1st half of this series was a bit silly and the 2nd half was good

the best Power Rangers turbo episode ever was the last episode (Chase into space part 2) this episode is not to bad but its too good the endless battle against Divatox's army was exciting to watch the rangers runs back to the command center Divatox's army enters the power chamber Elgar destroy the plasma tube Divatox destroy the command center the Cimmérien planet messenger showed up and he said Zordon has been captured Divatox and her army goes to the Cimmérien planet The Rangers's Turbo Powers are gone The Rangers goes to the Cimmerian Planet Justin stays on earth this episode Chase into space was a great way to end a good season

well the power rangers wild force season finale was epic and great i guess countdown to destruction and the end of time were 2 of the best season finales ever made

this series was not that bad, not stupid, not horrible, not awful, not worse then dinosaur king

I Like Turbo.

It's Better Than Operation Overdrive

But A lot of people think it's the worst season in the series. Those same people say that the Second Half of Turbo is a little better.

Zeo improved Power Rangers. This show brought it down, way down. One reason was that the stories were pathetic and uninteresting. The villain was stupid and at times annoying. The show improved a little when they brought in a new team, but still wasn't unable to fix this show's problem. Justin was another problem. Having a little kid in a team of teenagers and in highschool (he's supposed to be a genius) was dumb. The only good episodes were the last: Chase into Space Part 1 & 2.
