If the Dark Fortress had this super missle capable of destorying a planet, why didn't they use it sooner? The campfire scene was horriby acted. As was the "I'm a Power Ranger" scene.

technically you do have a point about some of that. It wasn't as great of a finalé as people make it out to be.
Yes the villains were defeated too easily but because there wasn't enough of an army on the Rangers' side they had to do something to end it.
I disagree with your points on Rita, Zedd and Divatox becoming good... granted I wish we would've seen Finster, Rito, Master Vile, Elgar, Mama D and Ecliptor becoming good because of Rito and Vile's relationships with Rita, Elgar and Mama D's relations with Divatox and because of the loyalty and goodness that Ecliptor showed to Astronema. Also Finster should've been turned good because he wasn't ever shown to be that thrilled about being on the side of evil.
They were just finishing off work on the planet destroying missiles and they were hoping to likely never use them... while Dark Specter dying was a bit too easy it wasn't that unbelievable since he was struck by 1 of those missiles and he devoured one.

well I'm not sure if I would call it the best episode ever but it did have a lot of emotional scenes, a lot of drama and a lot of action scenes. I agree that it was the last major event in the PRU universe... I personally wouldn't even consider Forever Red to be a major event since it was such a big teamup.
I agree that the stakes were raised and I agree that the 5 years of continuity was paid off.

The campfire scene was bad. But the scene with Bulk and Skull leading the civilians was a Great momment. It really brought the two characters full circle. The reveal of the Power Rangers to the public was amazing.

that it was intense. Over his body? hey I didn't know he was a girl or Astronema was a boy... but I do agree that it was a powerful and emotional scene and it was most definitely a great moment when she was resurrected.
The Z-Wave was definitely a nice twist and it was also a nice twist but a disappointing one with Zordon's death.
I agree that the Bulk and Skull scenes were great moments and it brought them full circle in a way.

yea that was weird especially since they technically had 2 but I do agree that Dark Specter's defeat only made things more chaotic for the Rangers.
