The weird thing about it is how little most of these episodes have to do with the transition to Zeo. Only the alirns themselves are important but this didn't need 10 episodes.

Mini series to get rid of Rita and the last of the MMPR stuff and go into Zeo, they have a lot of footage left of the Japanese series they were on for this season in Kakuranger so it had to get used.

I mean, I can tell this is all sorts of strange. To my adult mind the last few episodes looked like a "frankenseries" of footage from all sorts of places probably because it is just that.

I imagine the Sentai series are a lot better with plot and consistency (I mean, comparatively to this).

Kakuranger has a plot that has 0 to do with aliens or evil wizards.
 
Man, I really enjoyed Rito, shame that
his suit couldn't be used in the in Space finale due to poor storage.
That and also Bob Papenbrook passing away in 2006 bums me out. :(

Hey was interesed in Super Sentai, is there a place to stream it with subs? Watching this really makes me wanna see what it's about

Not legally. Years of Power Rangers made sure that subbing deals weren't being made. You can get Zyuranger through Ohranger (with Carranger releasing soon) from Shout Factory on DVD, however.
Google.
 
Man...I forgot how Tommy-focused things are gonna get. Just reading these episode previews in Zeo and wow

170 "There's No Business Like Snow Business, Part I" -
Tommy is depressed when he receives a letter from Kimberly, saying that she met someone in Florida and is breaking up with him, so he goes with Kat and Billy to take some much-needed rest and relaxation on a snowboarding weekend, where he meets snowboarding champion Heather, who develops a crush on him. King Mondo, however, can neither rest nor relax until he has conquered the Earth. To that end, he creates the Robocupid, a fiendish machine who makes the humans of Angel Grove fall madly in love with machines and electronics!

171 "There's No Business Like Snow Business, Part II"
The teens continue their snowboarding weekend, and Tommy and Heather grow closer, but they are called away again. While they are chillin' in the mountains, things are heating up in Angel Grove. Mondo's Defoliator monster is stepping up the greenhouse effect in Angel Grove.

172 "There's No Business Like Snow Business, Part III"
Defoiliator really heats things up for the teens, including a depressed Tommy. But, this guy appears to be undefeatable. Heather has grown impatient with Tommy's sudden disappearances, but Kat persuades her to give him another chance, and arranges a meal for them at the Angel Grove Youth Center. Sadly, Tommy is called away when the monster attacks the town, and despite Tommy's promise to return as soon as he can, Heather walks out of his life for good. But maybe it isn't such a loss- it turns out Kat has feelings for Tommy- and he may just feel the same.

173 "Inner Spirit"
Tommy finds himself having a recurring dream about True of Heart, the man who guided him on his quest for his piece of the Zeo Crystal. When Tommy meets Sam Trueheart, a Native American artist who looks just like the old mystic, he's even more confused. There's no time to ponder this mystery, however, because another, more pressing mystery needs to be solved: who or what is sucking all the energy out of Angel Grove? And where is all that energy going?

174 "Challenges"
Tommy sees a young man in the desert who could be his double, but before Tommy can find out who the young man is, Sam Trueheart appears, and tells Tommy that another quest lies before him, and only the end of that quest can reveal the identity of the young man. Meanwhile, Ernie's new boxing ring sparks an interest in pugilism in Prince Sprocket. Not being the athletic type, Sprocket creates his own Great Metallic Hope: Punch-A-Bunch! Punch-A-Bunch goes toe-to-toe with Adam, capturing the budding-boxer and forcing Tommy to face the monster in the ring to save his teammate. It all works out, as Tommy finds the solution to his spiritual unrest when he meets a man who claims to be his brother!

175 "Found and Lost"
The identity of the young man in Tommy's quest is revealed, and Tommy himself can scarcely believe it. Meanwhile, Mondo has his own plans for the mysterious stranger-plans that will be carried out by his latest creation, Mace Face!

176 "Brother, Can You Spare an Arrowhead?
Tommy must find a way to rescue his brother from a cave of evil spirits while the other Rangers battle the Mace Face monster.

The best part of the sentai footage is all the sparks and explosions, which are never present in the American fights.
 
This has got really weird all of sudden.

I dont understand the obsession with Tommy he's not the best actor I think that was Kimberly, maybe one of the writers/producers fancied him or something.

Not really. Dude was the most popular. Just how it is. Started as the sixth ranger who's always most popular of their season and stuck around to be red ranger for a while. Fan reception of him and his merch was always good.
