Why was the Lost Galaxy such an after thought?
For a show called "The Lost Galaxy", it was weird how they didn't actually go there until the second half. And then it was just a miniseries that had little to do with the main storyline. I always thought that was strange. It was like they were biding their time into the finale.

Re: Why was the Lost Galaxy such an after thought?
yea I agree it's always possible that they could've had bigger plans for it but things got in the way namely Valerie needing to undergo treatment for leukemia, Patricia originally agreeing to take over for her to the point that they had filmed an episode how much of the episode was filmed is unknown but what is known is that she had later changed her mind due to what she was being paid so they had gotten Melody to take over as the Pink Ranger and there's probably other things that were changed that we don't even know about.

The funny part is you can take out the Lost Galaxy Arch and lose nothing from the main storyline.

You just do an episode with Terra Venture encountering Mutiney's slave planet. Doesn't have to be in the Lost Galaxy.

They must have used a ton of Sentai Footage. The special effects looked a lot different from prior in the season.

So much of LG good and bad was due to unplanned behind the scenes stuff.

The best parts of Galaxy were in the beginning of the second half. The Lost Galaxy arch was really just filler until the Mike stuff. But LG was still a great season.

you're right but then again even earlier in the season a lot of the stuff was Sentai footage basically anything involving Scorpius, Trakeena, Furio, Villamax and Kegler was new footage even though Villamax and Kegler did come from Gingaman we just never saw any Sentai footage of either Villamax or Kegler.

Re: Why was the Lost Galaxy such an after thought?
The ancient Rangers thing was just an idea and never got close to happening. The LG arch was just an excuse to cram in Sentai Footage to save budget for the fanilie. LG was actually a disaster behind the scenes. Most of what worked happened because things had to be done on the fly. They get tons of credit for trying to turn Gingaman into a Space Season. When it was clearly getting its footage from a nature sentai.
