Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

Doing another Zeo season instead or Turbo would have been a no-brainer. I like the jdea of replacing Jason with Austin if the latter really wanted out

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

Yes I think Tommy and Kat would have been replaced in Zeo Season 2 with Jason and Emily. Zedd and Rita would have been the main villians. They would have taking control of the Machine Empire.

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

It was time to replace the cast anyway. However, they should have done the "Passing of the Torch" episode in a "Ninja Encounter" episode style at the beginning of the second hlaf of the season, so the new cast could be introduced. Give a full 3-part season finale for Zeo, then include T.J, Carlos, Cassie, Justin and Ashely in the Turbo movie, with the old cast making cameo appereances in the first three PRT episodes to fill in the story gap between the end of Zeo and the movie and explain why and how did the recurring characters from Zeo become Turbo rangers.

I don't think they wanted to change casts until mid Turbo and after the production changes. Thats why it was so rushed.

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

Tommy and Kat were already leaving pre production change. Ashley and Carlos were going to replace them with Adam and Tanya remaining. And Justin of course.

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

The series needed the cast change. Both creatively and for business. The actual changeover could have been done better. But it all worked out in the end.

They should have reunited the MMPR cast and brought back the original powers.

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

I enjoyed Zeo, felt like a natural progression from MMPR but the switch to Turbo felt rushed and badly done.

The cast change wasn't so bad, just a bit hurried. I enjoy In Space however so i guess Turbo will always be viewed in my eyes as a difficult transition series. They changed to many things in a short time frame for my liking.

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

I can't picture Space without the Space Rangers. Who were really the first team I followed closely anyway.

Re: What if the Zeo didn't leave?
 

The Zeo Cast wore out their welcome and aged out. It was time to replace them in Turbo.
