In Time Force, Alex saved the future by capturing Ransik. He seemed to find personal happiness when he got engaged to Jen. Only to find himself near death at the hands of the escaped Ransik. But Jen falls in love with Wes by the time Alex reveals himself in the past. Alex was harsh to the team at first but was wise enough to admit he was wrong about Wes. Alex was the bigger person and gave his morpher back to Wes. He even continued to help in the future and really cared about Jen. Yet Jen broke up with him and chose a man she could never really be with over him. This had to hurt Alex. So you can see why he may have gotten a raw deal.

Jen isn't completely stupid, she will eventually get over Wes and get back with Alex.

What is there to be sad about? He will get the girl eventually, he just has to deal with her being stupid for a while.

I don't think Jen is going to be able to go back to Alex. She isn't the same person as she was at the beginning of TF. She clearly is still in love with wes in "Reinforcements From the Future".

I thought she ended up with Alex at the end of Time Force

Well in "End of Time Part 2" she gave Alex back her engagement ring. So that makes me feel like the relationship was over for her.

She isn't the same person as she was at the beginning of TF.Neither is Alex. He was clearly changed by the near death experience he became harder but he mellowed out.

She clearly is still in love with wes in "Reinforcements From the Future".That would be an indication of her still being stupid. She'll get over Wes eventually unless she is completely and utterly stupid and would rather grow old alone & miserable than get over a love she can't have and go back to a man she clearly loved once.

Well, I suppose I feel sad for him because he found happiness due to capturing Ransik as well as proposing to his girlfriend Jen however Ransik killed him and when he came back to life, he was very rude and harsh and his harsh behavior is what I believe lead to Jen breaking up with him.

Granted Jen was already falling in love with Wes before Alex came to the year 2001 and that does play a part in Jen's relationship with Alex and how it changed. So I do feel sorry for Alex that he lost his happiness due to losing Jen.

Now granted Jen and Wes still love each other but will never be able to be together however I do not believe Jen will ever get back together with Alex. It has nothing to do with Jen being stupid. Even if she got over Wes, I still don't believe she would ever go back to Alex. I believe that chapter between Jen and Alex has been closed.

Yeah, I think that was made pretty clear in "Distiny Defeated". I don't blame Alex for acting the way he did though. He was under a lot of pressure to save the timeline and felt that the TF Rangers we're goofing off. Plus there was the jealous of Wes factor, which only makes him human. Alex was also used to military like disapline and was treating the TF Rangers like he would any suborniates in what was an extreme situation. At least he was wise enough to realize he made some false assumptions and gave his powers back to Wes without a fight. Not to mention let the Ranger's return to the Past in "End of Time".

Indeed plus the Rangers couldn't really do anything but do their Odd Jobs while they waited for Ransik or Frax to attack. All they had to detect attacks was Circuit and he could only detect something if the mutant or robot was attacking.

You know you have a gang of bloody thirsty savages intent on killing anyone and everyone you don't just wait for them to strike to strike back, you hunt them down like dogs and you take them out one way or another.

But like every PR they puss out like sissies.

Of course however the Rangers have rules and procedures to follow, just like Time Force likely does as well. I mean how would they really even look for the mutants' Prison Ship anyway? Silver Hills is likely a big place and the Prison Ship was hidden pretty good.

Just because they follow rules doesn't mean they're "pussies." It means they're heroes that stick to the code of good and justice. Just because something is easier for someone doesn't mean you should do it. It just means the person or team is too desperate. Granted teams of heroes do need to take action against villains as soon as possible but a hero/team has to be smart about it otherwise they risk even more harm if their desperate act fails.

I mean think about it. If the MMPR went to the Chamber of Commands and tried taking out Lord Zedd, there's nothing stopping him from teleporting out of there and blowing up his Chamber as well as unleashing a massive onslaught invasion force that would be aimed to all of the planet Earth.

It's why there's that unwritten rule to never attack or invade an enemy's base unless it's a last resort.

Silver Hills is likely a big place and the Prison Ship was hidden pretty good.They have vehicles that can fly. They have a link to the fucking future, the future would have the information. Plenty of ways. It involves using your resources to their absolute best and using a brain.

Just because they follow rules doesn't mean they're "pussies." It means they're heroes that stick to the code of good and justice.Pussies are afraid to go after their enemies. They were only willing to fight when it became absolutely necessary meaning lives were in danger. By not being proactive they are directly responsible for any and all injuries & deaths inflicted upon innocents.

desperate actConfronting your enemy at their base before innocents are put in danger is not a desperate act, it is called being intelligent.

I mean think about it. If the MMPR went to the Chamber of Commands and tried taking out Lord Zedd, there's nothing stopping him from teleporting out of there and blowing up his Chamber as well as unleashing a massive onslaught invasion force that would be aimed to all of the planet Earth.Which is why governments deploy assassins. Power Rangers need to be assassins or they are willingly putting innocents in danger.

It's why there's that unwritten rule to never attack or invade an enemy's base unless it's a last resort.An unwritten rule that only serves to hurt and kill innocents, a rule for glory hounds.

The more I think about how they fight the less respect I have for them.

Of course the future would have the information but the question is, would the future even tell them anything? Remember Alex wiped some of Circuit's memories because Circuit was about to disclose the information about the time vortexes.

Remember Alex wiped some of Circuit's memories because Circuit was about to disclose the information about the time vortexes.It's not a matter if they would reveal the location, it's a fact that they didn't since they never did. Which again proves my point that the Time Force organization was nothing but pussies, like every PR organization.

Be one thing if they were constantly on the run and literally didn't have a single second to look for the base but none of them are like that.

You could use the same argument for practically every season.

The Mighty Morphin Rangers could teleport especially inside Rita's Palace so why didn't they do so in order to finish her and her minions off there? Same with Zedd, Master Vile, the Machine Empire and Divatox.

The Space Rangers were seen in the Dark Fortress plenty of times so why didn't they use that chance to take out Astronema, Ecliptor or Darkonda? and that's before Andros knew Astronema was his sister.

The Galaxy Rangers knew where the Scorpion Stinger was at so why didn't they use that to take advantage of it and take out Scorpius, Trakeena and those related Generals?

Ryan knew how to get to the Skull Cavern from his time there so once he joined the team why didn't he take everyone there to take out the demons?

The Nexus was explained about.
Lothor's Ship was explained about.

Mesogog's island fortress, they had access to it but sometimes it was limited but those times they could, why didn't they take the chance to go there to take him, Zeltrax and Elsa out?

Nothing was ever stated in regards to the Terror Space Craft but regardless they eventually got the Swat Megazord, a Megazord capable of flight.

It was stated that going to the Underworld in Mystic Force was too dangerous and it would have the consequence of risking their own magical powers as well as possibly their life.

Moltor and Flurious' lairs were on another planet but the Rangers were seen in Moltor's lair once or twice at the least so they could have taken him out then.

RJ knew where the Temple was at so why didn't he take the others with him there so that they could take Dai-Shi and Camille out?

In RPM, they didn't know where the Venjix Palace was at but they were more than capable of finding it out due to Gem and Gemma's techno know-how so why didn't they do it sooner?

With the Netherworld they stated why it'd be a risky because crossing into that dimension would turn them into Nighlok.

There was no explanation for the Warstar Ship especially since they had a few zords that were capable of flight and the same goes for the Armada Ship.
