Why wasn't Maya a Ranger when she was younger?

[Star Ranger]

Well I was looking at my PRLG tapes, and I came across an episode with
maya and her young friend who was really a monster.Maya had a dream and
asked her do you remember the time when tried to pull the quasar
sabres.Well when maya tried at that young age nothing happened, so how
could it happen when she was older?

[Rob Rosenberg]

Maybe because she tried pulling the Red, Green, Blue or Pink Saber. Also
maybe because the Sabers were timelocked so that only when all the chosen
were present could they be removed.

Well, Little Maya said she thought it budge....most likely it did. Perhaps
when she was younger she didn't have the strength to fully pull it out.

The most obvious reason I can think of is the Legend of the Quasar Sabers.
The choosen ones would pull the Quasar Sabers and fight off the evil beings
bringing peace for a thousand lifetimes......that's basically what is said.
At that time I assume there was no evil presence on Mirioni and thus no
reason for the Quasar Sabers to be pulled.

BTW, the episode you are referring to is "Memories of Mirinoi" and her
friend's name was Shondra :)

[Jeff Anonymous]

Maybe Maya never tried to yank the yellow one.

It wasn't that nothing happened..it shook alittle but since she was still young
and her powers not strong enough yet she couldn't pull it out. Her's friend's I
believe didn't even budge.

[Mega V6]

Maybe she was too young when she tried to pull it. I'm not sure
about the "wrong saber" theory, I think her as a young girl
would be curious and try to pull all 5. I think the time theory
works, as she may have been too young as Miko said and couldn't
handle the powers. But if she did somehow, they wouldn't last
like in that VR Trooper episode where the 3 were turned into
kids and they could transform but only for like 10 min or
something.

This delighful little paradox fits in with all the other delightful little
paradoxes like...
How was Diabolico able to contact Cpt. Mitchell if he was still entombed? If
the rangers never rescued the galactabeasts, how exactly does that expalin
their signature animal on their helmets and sabers? And where exactly DID the
turbo powers come from? Not to mention how was it possible to see Earth so
close-up from Jupiter's moon (not that I don't already know this one Sentai).
It's PR's little way of confusing all the kiddies out there into trying to
deduce it to death. But frankly, you can't explain it. So don't even try to
answer it. It's just an error on Saban's behalf. Be safe!

That sounds a little too kinky Jeff

Given that he was never seen in a physical body as he was in the later
episodes, I don't necessarily see a contradiction here. There's no way of
knowing for certain Lynn doesn't intend to address the physical "presence" of
the demons even when out of sync with reality. Bansheera cannot enter the Earth
Realm until Grand Cross, but we can't be certain she doesn't physically affect
things with her presence on Earth. I mean, isn't that basically what she did in
"Rising from the Ashes?" Is Diabolico stealing a young boy's soul away from his
father any different? He didn't do anything ELSE.

>If the rangers never rescued the galactabeasts, how exactly does that expalin
>their signature animal on their helmets and sabers?

I get the impression Lynn was intending to address this during the aborted
Ancient Rangers Saga, given the fact that the Dairanger uniforms DO NOT share
the same totem animals as the five Gingaman outfits. In fact, wouldn't that, if
anything, demonstrate the fact that the Quasar Sabers take on a new power
system for each of their various incarnations, right down to appearance? The
Guardian of the Book implies a greater destiny in store for each incarnation.
So once the Dairanger-suited team dies, their templates in the hilt of each
Saber are reset. The series gang was DESTINED to free these particular
Galactabeasts. Since the PRLG team's destiny was NOT in fact completed,
demonstrated by PRLG/PRLR, they could once again release the swords and morph
into their own forms. Perhaps one their mission is once and for all completed
the Sabers will reset.

>And where exactly DID the
>turbo powers come from?

They were conjured forth by the writing department from an unknown source,
given the fact that second season Zeo was not yet in production at the time of
T:APRM's production. They had no idea for certain just what to do with the show
yet, like they could directly tie it all into a season which didn't exist yet?
They did as much as they could, even if Good as Gold provided no significant
transition into the film, they still tied up as much of the plotlines left from
PRZ as they could, because by now Sloan and his staff had to know they wouldn't
get a chance to tie it all up once the film came and changed the status quo of
the series. Clearly Billy's disappearances were meant as a dodge. Judd Lynn
provides a second possible explanation in Chase into Space, when Justin refers
to Eltar as the "source of our powers," and also in the fact that the loss of
the Turbo powers occurs not after the Power Chamber explosion; the costumes
maintained cohesion and protected the teens from otherwise fatal injury, but
after the confirmed fall of the planet Eltar.

And if they had made Ganymede into Luna, we'd have had even more complaints
about the fact that in all this time, Rita and Zedd or the Machine Empire had
never tried to take the NASADA facility. Minimal security, responds to Ranger
energy signatures... Certain sacrifices have to be made to accommodate the
footage without invalidating PR's own individual continuity. I'll give you
another example-
Grand Cross from GoGoV. Once that footage runs we will have visual canonical
confirmation that Nemesis, which has been in orbit since season one, and
remained visible in the US Moonbase starfield afterwards, and might have even
been PRLG's "practice moon," is now gone. Now, you can say Nemesis is there
afterwards, maybe even show it again, and I would accept that... You can't
always perfectly utilize Sentai footage and still maintain flawless American
continuity. You have to make accommodations one way or the other. I'd rather
have Ganymede with a disproportionately big Earth off on the horizon than a
super-busy Luna. It's like Metallasaurus jumping back and forth between modes
depending on the footage used, or the haphazard Lights of Orion armor seen on
the Rangers inside the cockpit of the Galaxy Megazord in Power of Pink. Like
any television show, PR's reality is determined by production issues and
footage problems. PR just has the added hard time of needing to try and use
Sentai footage without stepping on their own toes in the process.

Oh, for the love of god. If people want to try and deduce something, they sure
as hell can. Nobody is trying to befuddle anyone here, it's an honest mistake.
Every single television show has them to varying degrees. Either you file it
away under suspension of disbelief and move on to something else, or you think
up a clever way of explaining it. Either is perfectly fine. There's no ulterior
motive on anyone's part involved... And don't you hate PR? Haven't people
driven you out of here time and again? Why are you still here, exactly?

[Jeff Anonymous]

Kinky? In what way? All I said was that maybe Maya had a strong
aversion to Yellow, never got around to yellow, or heard her mom calling
before she got to yellow.

I was talking about 'yank the yellow one'
yank is slang in some areas for....well nevermind.

[Jeff Anonymous]

I thought so, but I just felt need to explain my message.

Another thing may be because, yes, Maya was there, but Shondra was also there
and she wasn't chosen.

Or as Spike might have said, "Someone wasn't worthy!"

[MattEmily]

hard to know for certain without comparing the rock scenes perhaps she was grabbing the wrong one or perhaps it was just a case of her being too young and therefore she wasn't strong enough to pull out the Saber or to even handle the powers.

[MattEmily]

I grabbed some pics and here's the verdict.

Based on the 3 pics it seems like Maya was trying to pull out the Saber that chose her in the end when she was younger but obviously she wasn't strong enough either to pull it out or because you needed to be at a higher age in order to wield the awesome might of their powers since she does mention that she thought it budged whereas Shondra tried pulling out the one that apparently chose Damon in the end.

[Astro Omega]

The sabers weren't meant to be pulled yet and Maya wasn't ready.

[Space Hero]

There also wasn't an evil threat threatening Mirinoi.

[KimandTommy]

Because she was a young child and not ready to be a Ranger.

[Sentai Rules]

All the Galaxy Ranger s should have been part or the tribe like in Gingamen. Except the tribe should have been from an Earth Jungle.

[No Green Spandex]

It would make little sense for a kid to become a Galaxy Ranger when their isn't even a threat.

[Jen's Revenge]

Yes, the obvious answer of her being too young makes the most sense here.

[Where's Waldo]

The whole point of the scene was that it was a nudge to the idea Maya was destined to be Galaxy Yellow from the beginning.

[Geki's Pride]

It was just to supposed to be a neat little scene that was a nice call back to the viewer. Since we knew Maya would pull the saber as an adult.

[Massive Ego]

It was a nice little scene. He like that they thought to do that.
