This is an old thread. But still a very interesting topic. Since my last post ( which was four years ago lol). I've learned that Amit intended that Jason got his powers back from the Dark Red Ranger . Which is based off of a Comic Book storyline. Where Zedd strals the old Dino Powers and recruits evil teens to fight the Ninja Rangers.

The TJ thing is diffinitly supposed to be tied into how Justin got his powrs back in "True Blue to the Rescue. TJ got the powers from Lightining Cruiser. Just like Justing did from Mountain Blaster. Also the Turbo Powers were never destoryed, just went offline when Eltar was attacked.

The Zeo Crystal was neversaid to be destoryed or depowered . The Turbo Rangers simply stopped using it. In the orginal script for the Turbo Movie, there was supposed to a scene to explain that the Rangers couldn't go back to the Zeo Powers. This was because they already were bonded to the Turbo Powers. While this didn't make it into the movie, it maakes perfect sense. Tommy would n't have been bonded to the Turbo Power once he passed his powers to TJ. So he's be free to use his Zeo powers presumably.

That could be why it was so important for the Rangers to pass their powers on time in "Passing Of the Torch" There probably was a limited window for the team to pass their powers on. So its not a strech that Tommy could have access to it. But sionce no mention of it is made in DinoThunder, something could have happened to cut Tommy off from the power. Especially since Tommy seemed to make it a point to say that the DT team was the last active Power team ( in "Legacy of Power").

In my last post I mentioned that all the old Ranger teams were implied to have been togetehr again, prior to Forever Red. I am no longer sure of that was accurate. But as you can see, there were valid reasons why the Rangers that we did see, had their powers back.
