Re: Rita as Mystic Mentor?
 

I don't see them bringing back Carla or a new actor to play Rita all season. They just wanted to honor Soga since she had recently passed and they had footage of her to use.

We would have got a better understanding of just how Rita is connected to the Mystical Realm. Nick as her son would have been interesting. Wait untill he would have meant his half brother!

I still say Mystic Mother wasn't Rita. She coule have been her good twin or something

I would have hated the real Rita being the mentor. Since I know she was still secretly evil. I don't care if Zordon gave her a get out of jail free card.

I like this idea. It would make things come full circle. And would have seemed less out of left field. You could still come up woth a way to do a tribute to Soga.
