How can we say she isn't a leader? We can't. None of the others were qualified to be leaders - not even Carter. He didn't have any leadership experience.
Also you are partially correct with the Alien Rangers, their Red Ranger was a male but he was not their leader. The Alien Rangers' leader was Delphine, their female White Ranger.


So? Carter had no leadership experience. Being a Firefighter doesn't qualify him as a leader.



I agree with you there that the first episode made it seem like Dana should have been the leader along with the whole backstory with her Father training her for it for her whole life.
True Dana didn't show many leadership qualities but that's because Carter was the leader so she didn't need to.
