Power Rangers in Space recap
Power Rangers in Space (1998) sends four former Turbo Rangers into space to rescue Zordon from Dark Specter, where they meet Andros, the Red Space Ranger. The sixth season aired 43 episodes on Fox Kids from February to November 1998, adapting Denji Sentai Megaranger, and it picks up the Turbo cliffhanger. Andros (Christopher Khayman Lee) gives T.J. Johnson (Selwyn Ward), Carlos Vallerte (Roger Velasco), Ashley Hammond (Tracy Lynn Cruz) and Cassie Chan (Patricia Ja Lee) Astro Morphers, and the team splits its time between Earth and the Astro Megaship. Their main enemy is Astronema (Melody Perkins), Princess of Evil, backed by her guardian Ecliptor. Zhane (Justin Nimmo) wakes from cryo-sleep as the Silver Ranger. Andros learns that Astronema is his kidnapped sister Karone; she briefly turns good before being recaptured and reprogrammed, and she later unleashes the Psycho Rangers, evil doubles of the team. The season closes the six-year story that began with Mighty Morphin.
Power Rangers in Space ending explained
Power Rangers in Space ends with the two-part "Countdown to Destruction", as Dark Specter's allies attack the whole universe and Angel Grove's citizens join the fight. Andros reaches Zordon on the Dark Fortress, and Zordon asks him to shatter his energy tube. The wave of good energy kills Zordon but turns Ecliptor and the monsters to dust and makes Rita, Zedd, Divatox and Astronema human again. Karone is freed, and the Rangers settle on Earth. Lost Galaxy starts with a new team.
