- Ass Pull: The writers were very forthright that the last four episodes of the season (drawing many seemingly insignificant plot threads together) were rewritten in response to fan bitching. Though the precise mechanics of Lothor's Evil Plan do fall close to a Gambit Roulette of the highest order, the little details don't work and it's clearly a retcon. (Most of) The fans don't seem to care, making this a fine example of Author's Saving Throw.
- Base Breaker: Lothor. People seem divided on whether he was a Magnificent Bastard in his own right with an awesome Evil Plan (and making use of a plan with a obvious and hidden goal) at the end of the series making him one of the most memorable villains in the show's history, or a complete joke who did nothing but sit around and complain most of the series and his plan towards the end was nonsensical and came out of nowhere. For the record, Linkara has the latter opinion.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Cam and Kiya's fight in "The Samurai's Journey, Part 2." Made even more impressive when viewers learn that Kiya is Lothor's younger self.
- Vexacus viciously taking down Zurgane in "General Deception, Part 2."
- Ensemble Darkhorse: While Tori was in the "Once a Ranger" episode, the real Darkhorse is Cam. Cam, the Adorkable, snarky Ranger who you sympathised with the first half of the season.
- Informed Wrongness: Dustin in "Tongue and Cheek".
- Magnificent Bastard: Arguably Lothor at times.
- Retroactive Recognition: Colonel Truman sent Lothor into space!
- Villain Decay: Lothor, just...just Lothor. He suffers it BEFORE the series even begins. As Linkara said, what the hell happened to him to go from the Badass sexyMagnificent Bastard from the time travel episode to the guy of the first episode?
