Alternate Endings to Countdown to Destruction

So, 'Countdown to Destruction' aired, you watched it and loved it, all of the previous villains were either turned to dust or turned back into mortals and the rangers live happily ever after? Right?

Of course not. We here at the Thunder Dome realise that, of course everyone had their own opinions about the final episode (okay, so it wasn't the final episode for the show, but it was the finale for about six seasons). On my learned collegue Mandi's site, one of the threads kept in her storage room is, 'what do people want to see in Countdown to Destruction?'. Well, now that we've all seen Countdown to Destruction, we can no longer speculate on what could happen, but we can argue till the red dragon eats us about what should have happened.

So, if you want to throw in your two cents on what you would have liked to see in Countdown to Destruction, just head back around to the front page, drop me an email, and I'll be sure to put it up.


As for me, personally, I quite enjoyed the finale, but I would have liked to have seen one little thing - After Astronema threatens the crowd if they don't hand over the Power Rangers, remember the classic Spartacus rip-off when Bulk, Skull, Adelle, Prof Phenonomus etc all bravely stood up and declared, "I'm a Power Ranger!" ?

Well, half way through this scene, I would've loved it if, suddenly, we hear a deep voice shout out, "Yeah, we're Power Rangers too", accompanied by Jason, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, Zac and Tommy walking out of a crowd. Soon comes another, "And we're Power Rangers as well!" as Rocky, Adam and Aisha walk out of the crowd and join the others. Finally, we hear a third, "And we are Power Rangers too!" as Kat, Tanya and Justin leave the crowd and join the others.

During Countdown to Destruction, I would have loved to see:

- The old Rangers morph and help the Space Rangers;

- Porto one last time, they seem to have forgotten all about him;

- And finally, the Phantom Ranger's True Identity.

-- William Sturnick


Four words - Phantom Ranger's Real Identity. Nuff said!

-- Aithan Hunt


I would have cried my eyes out if all the past Rangers came back as well as all the miscellaneous "Rangers" that we saw during the episode and had a massive battle to the death between everyone. Come on, what could be cooler?

-- Warlock


I would like to have seen something more between Andros and Ashley.

-- Smithelin


Seeing the old rangers on Countdown to Destruction would have been good. Regardless of most of the powers being destroyed. It didn't stop them from morphing in "Forever Red". And the Phantom Ranger's identity would have been good. Also, maybe seeing the rangers, arrive on Earth, or what happened to the former Rita, Zedd, and Divatox, now that they were good. And what happened to the villains not shown. Momma D, Havoc, Porto, Scorpina, Master Vile, Rito, Finster, Gasket, and Archerina.
