Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
They should have tried to go to a parallel universe so they could be together.

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Jen should have stayed behind to be with Wes.

Dayu's Tears 12/21/16 07:58 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
It would be selfish of Wes to go to the future. He would be messing with the timestream.Plus it was unfair of Jen to expect him to give up his life to come with her. I think Wes had a role to play in the revised history.

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Wes deserved to be with a women who was nicer. Jen treated him horribly and would have dumped him when someone better came along. Look at what she did to Alex. Who died right in front of her.

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
If there was a more happy ending maybe I wouldn't dislike the season. so much. Its too bad because the cast looked good enough to do an MMPR like season. We saw some of it in "Movie Madness" and "Nadiera's Dream Date" but they watered it all down with all that serious crap

Green With Envy 12/22/16 08:51 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
I found myself wondering the same thing. Wes going to the future made too much sense and it it was never brought up.

Goldar's Revenge 12/23/16 11:20 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
The idea of Jen and Wes not being able to make there own destiny contradicted everythig Time Force was building to..The whole season was about making your own destiny. Yet Wes and Jen can't be together because it goes against destiny. It makes no sense and was bad writing. Judd actually hated this for those reasons.

Galaxy Forever 12/23/16 11:57 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
It was probably too dangerous for Wes and Alex to be in the same time period for too long.

Eradicator 12/24/16 12:17 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Its not about making your own destiny. Its about doing whats right and letting the other person live their own life. Jen and Wes were from different times and neither belonged in the other. It was a beautifully told story.

Kimberly Cares 12/24/16 02:57 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
They should have ended up together so they could have had a happy ending.

Revenge of the UAE 12/24/16 03:02 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Don't be so sentimental. Wes and Jen not ending up together made perfect sense.

Byron Stinger 12/24/16 07:29 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
It would trigger a massive timehole. Since Wes going to the future would create a rip in space time. The Rangers going back didn't because just going to the past didn't change it instantly like Wes going to the future.

Time Force Rules 01/11/17 07:01 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Wes belonged in the past. Going to the future would drastically alter the future. And it would have been selfish..It made the whole story more dramatic.

Call Titanus 01/12/17 12:18 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
At least they were mature about that. Although , I could do without all the melodrama in Power Rangers.

A Gia To Remember 01/13/17 11:56 AM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
It seems like Time Force could have made an exception for Wes and Jen since it was a special case.

Massive Ego 01/13/17 12:05 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
There not going to make a special case for a couple that would alter the future by being together. They are lucky Alex let them get out of erasing there memories of the past.

Ranger Master 01/13/17 12:07 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Oh there memories were erased after Wild Force. Don't underestimate the sinster nature of Time Force. Some of Alex's memories were most likely erased too for showing weakness in TF's eyes.

Sentai Is Forever 01/13/17 12:09 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
I always thought they messed this part up. Alex should have been trying to erase all their memories since the future changed. Alex's goal should have been to alter time for his own benefit. With Trip being forced to kill him so they could escape. They did a good job copying Timeranger, its a shame they got this wrong.

Revenge of the UAE 01/13/17 10:07 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
They did nothing to set things up for that. Alex had some similarities to the Captain but a lot of differences too. He was never the evil character that Time Captain was however.His reasonimg fornwanint to erase the Rangers memories was different from Time Captain's.

Quasar Saber 01/13/17 10:12 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Wes couldn't survive in the future. The world's climate had changed and humanity evovled to survive the new harsher reality. Which is why genetic engineering was started. Wes wouldn't be able to survive in the future. And Jen didn't think it was fair of her to remain in the past for her own personal.gain.

Zordon's Alliance 01/13/17 10:36 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
If Jen and Wes got together Alex would never exist. Since he is Alex's descendent.

Digimon Ranger 01/16/17 12:55 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Maybe it wiukd have caused a timehole, due to the future changing too much?

Time Force Traitor 01/29/17 06:43 AM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
It is funny how certain changes cause timeholes and others don't.

Super Rad 01/29/17 06:45 AM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
The Tryzarium Crystals caused the timeholes, not just the changes in the timeline itself.

Mystic Magic 01/29/17 01:23 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
That part didn't make sense to me either. Wes or Jen could have gone or stayed to each others place in time.

No Green Spandex 01/29/17 01:51 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Wes and Jen weren't self centered jerks who would have risked harming the timeline for their own personal gain. Besides, changing your personal history like Wes did is a lot different then radically altering the timeline. Especially when Wes just lectured his Dad about it when he tried to use the antidote for Venomark for profit. Or the other times he was unhappy with his father for risking the future history just for financial gain. Even Mr. Collins realized he was wrong in the end.

Yes he should've been able to but it makes sense as to why since he wasn't from the future.

I can see why they avoided this since it'd be like Jen is in love with someone that is related to Alex so what would be the odds that Jen and Wes' relationship would lead to a relationship that would eventually result into Alex being born? It would look really weird.

Wes making decisions in his own life to alter his personal future is one thing but changing history just to be together with Jen in the future would have been totally selfish.

And in a lot of ways I actually respected that plot point. Since it made for a very mature place for a PR relationship to go. And added to there love story. Lets be honest a lot of on screen love stories are written where the two lovers don't live happily rver after or after tk give each other for love or other personaly responsibolities. It makes there love mean more in a dramatic fashion. As much as I wanted Jen and Wes to get together its good writing that they didn't.

yea it's disappointing they had to leave due to the "make your own destiny" argument" but at the end of the day it was the best move to make so that it wouldn't raise so many questions.

To be fair I think that was done intentionally so that fans could make up for themselves on whether they had decided to remain in the past or head back to their time.

I'm happy they added Master Org since he was a good character and had a great storyline I just wasn't a fan of his actor. I didn't really care for Cole.

I disagree about Master Org being a weak part of the season.

Also Power Rangers is not meant to be Sentai. Do you see Sentai anywhere in its name? Exactly Sentai is not in its name because Power Rangers IS Power Rangers and Sentai IS Sentai. Power Rangers isn't Sentai and Sentai isn't Power Rangers. It's your fault for being so in love with Sentai that you want Power Rangers to repeat a product that's already aired and made which makes NO SENSE. Sentai was already produced and made. When are you Sentai lovers going to comprehend that? If you want Sentai then watch Sentai.

Hailey Hartford 01/30/17 01:03 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
The reason is simple. He couldn't go into the future because he isn't from the future and they couldn't screw up the timeline. End of story.

Mitchell's Navy 01/30/17 02:16 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
I think the opposing argument would be that the future was already changed so much. Wes was originally supposed to take over for his deceased father. Than Alex made his father live and Wes remain a Ranger. So history changed to Wes dying to defeat Frax and Ransik, Then in the end the future changed to the Wes surviving. So it makes it plausible that Wes would be able to leave for the future without damaging it.

Captain Mutiny 01/30/17 02:19 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Exactly! Wes was supposed to die as of the finale. With Wes now surviving , him leaving for the future would have the same effect on the timeline with him dying in the finalie would have.

Goldar's Revenge 01/30/17 02:20 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Its why Time Force is so frustrating in the end. The whole season is about making your own destiny, yet Jen and Wes have to be separated just because.

Lightspeed Zeo 01/30/17 02:23 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
But Wes going to the future for his own personal game would be selfish. The same with Jen. I agree with Hailey. Wes was from the present and couldn't go to the present. It would be selfish and unfair.

not to mention if he had done such a thing it might have affected the lineage to the point that Alex wouldn't have been born or created.

Gold Ranger In Danger 01/30/17 03:53 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
But Wes dying should have made future Wes disappear? Time Travel makes my head hurt!

Time Force Traitor 01/30/17 03:56 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
It makes you wonder how dramatically the future changed in Time Force by the end. And how many times it changed in total due to the events of the season.

Time For Time Force 01/30/17 03:58 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
I think it was one of the best parts of the season. As much as a lot of us wanted them together in was good writing. It made their love story mean more in the end and brought great maturity to Power Rangers.

Rangerlord 01/30/17 10:25 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Alex must not have been a direct descendent. Maybe he was a the descendent of a cousin? It doesn't matter though, someone else would have ceased to exist in the new timeline. Wes was Sky's Dad. They just use a different actor to play an older version of him in the SPD flashbacks.

Bratty Katty 01/30/17 10:37 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Except Wes wasn't Sky's Dad. He just used a suit that was similar to Time Force. It may not have even been the same powers.

Shadowhawk 01/30/17 10:52 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Humm never thought Mr. Tate could be Wes with a different actor. Why would Tate not be a Collins?

Diabolico Rising 01/30/17 11:06 PM

Re: why couldn't Wes go to the future?
 
Wes wasn't Sky's dad. But he no doubt had a important future in the new timeline.
