PRWF 457 "The End of the Power Rangers, part 2" First Draft Release.

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

Oddly, Alyssa's Ratzord is called Panda here! Also, Merrick lacks a last name! Anyways, lots of cut scenes near the end are different from what aired, of course. Danny & Max working as pizza deliverers (with a return of Kendall); Team Carnival reunited (Juggelo and Lion Tamer Org having returned from beyond the Spirit World); Taylor as an astronaut; Zen-Aku was to be missing his horn (an important bit for explaining how he was alive again, yet they seemingly forgot on set); Cole mimicing his Gao counterpart by becoming a vet; and Alyssa becomes a stripper!

Okay, maybe not that last one. But the final page seems to be missing, so you never know!

PRWF 455 "Sealing the Nexus" Final Draft Release.

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

Not much that I can see was changed, aside from the usual fact the ADR people work their magic by adding so much more dialogue to every scene. And I think the Nexus Blade scene is absent!

PRWF 448 "Team Circus" Third Draft Release.

Better know by its final title, which you may not have guessed ended up being the wildly different "Team Carnival".

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But the biggest difference in this to what aired is the Jungle Blaster isn't introduced! Instead, they just use the Jungle Sword. Hence, the scene of Tommy sending the Jungle Blaster artifact to the Animarium isn't present whatsoever. Also, giant Jindrax shrinks by farting, instead of burping.

The final page appears to be missing.

PRWF 446 "Homecoming" Final Draft and Blue Pages Release.

All "A" pages are the blue revision ones, obviously.

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But I will say that the description of the Animaria tombstone differs somewhat from what we saw onscreen, so that's an interesting bit. Oddly, the narration at the end of the ep is included here! I always thought that was something added in post production.

PRWF 443 "The Master's Last Stand" Second & Third Drafts (combined) Release.

All "A" pages are the third draft pages. I trimmed it down to just be the pages that had revisions on them.

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But I will point out the lengthy opening montage that was cut out that features numerous references to past eps, from Max's bowling to Danny's gal Kendall. This was all in fact shot, since the "Cole at the grave" scene was shown the previous ep's preview. Another cut aspect that likely wasn't shot at all was each of the Rangers getting captured by Master Org, one by one. Also, my reference isn't included since it was something done in post production. Oh, and Mandilok is called "Mandilax".

PRWF 442 "Reinforcements from the Future, part 2" First Draft Release.

The Mut-Orgs here are, instead of being named after high profile fans (Rofang, Takach, and Kired), are named after Norse legend Loki's children (Fenrir, Jormungander, and Kel). Though it doesn't say here, the intention was to use the Gaoranger Movie Orgs, but the suits were lost in a fire.

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But let me point out some of the things to see: Jen wearing a white combat suit! A mention of Alex! Venomark Serum use! Jokes about Wes & Eric's attire! Xybria misspelled as Zybria! Yet another Steve Harrison reference no one gets! Toxica vs Nadira for the love of Jindrax! Ransik vs Ransik! Merrick playing the flute! And that stupid Sentai team-up ending they based the final scene on gets that beyond stupid "catch the food, giant Lion" ending recycled!
 

PRWF 422 "Ancient Awakening" Fourth Draft Release.

Yes, that's the old "Saban's PRWF" logo on the cover, even though by the time this script was written and printed, Disney owned them. It's clip art, don't blame 'em!

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But I will point out Tire Org actually gets shown coming to life here, with it giving a point to that asinine "Alyssa on the bike" scene from the start.

PRWF 419 "Darkness Awakening" Final Draft & Blue Pages (combined) Release.

Yes, that's the old "Saban's PRWF" logo on the cover, even though by the time this script was written and printed, Disney owned them. It's clip art, don't blame 'em!

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But I will point out the scene with the "Valley Girl" was in fact shot but cut out, as the end credits to the episode list Rachel Monet Koda as playing the role (she was Kelsey's girlfriend Nancy in PRLR).

PRTF 417 "The End of Time, Part 3" ADR  Draft Release.

Here's a fun rarity, dontated to us by Soulspice! It's the ADR script for the final episode of Time Force. Notice the date on it, it was written a little over a week before the episode first aired! All of the last minute rewrites are credited to "SPP", aka Scott Page-Pagter. Judging by the fact Frax is crossed out on every line, I believe this script once belonged to his voice actor, Eddie Frierson. My favorite bit is Katie calling for "Sphincter Blaster" and Jen's "angry breasts". All notice that nearly every line at the final scene on the beach was re-looped and is presented here as a result (thanks to them noisy waves!)

 

PRTF 413 "Nadira's Dream Date" Rough Draft Release.

I don't have many "Rough Draft" scripts. In fact, this is the only one, if I recall!

I'm gonna keep letting the scripts speak for themselves. You guys wanna know the differences, put on the episode and follow along! It fun that way, I say!

But this is worth checking out especially, since this was one of the episodes to debut after 9/11. Was there anything questionable shot that didn't make it to air as a result of the "no building destruction" edicts and such? Read and see (but it doesn't look like any here, aside from an alternate ending).
 

PRTF 412 "Circuit Unsure" First Draft Release.

Interesting to note the episode number order for this ep doesn't match its eventual placement (it got flipped with "Nadira's Dream Date").

PRTF 398 "The Last Race" Second Draft Release.

Interesting to note they refer to this as "previously 396". I wonder why they shifted it around?

Skullhead drawings by prop master Mark Richardson, I believe. They were colored in green highlighter, btw.
 

PRTF 396 "Trip Takes a Stand" Second Draft Release.

Interesting to note they refer to this as "previously 397". I wonder why they shifted it around?

PRLR 377 "The Fate of Lightspeed, Part 2" Final Draft Release.

Here's the only Lightspeed Rescue script I've found anywhere. It was kindly dontated to the project by Christopher Hayden. It's got "ranger-retrocenter.com" on the top of every page, so it's probably been seen there before. But not in the right context! Notice they spell Batlings as "Battlings" the whole script, despite the official, copyrighted term being with a single T. Otherwise, there's very little different from what aired, aside from the lack of a whole lot of ADR lines.
 

PRLG 324 "Forging a Friendship" Unknown Draft Release.

This is as rare as they get. It's the only script I have in its original word document file, straight from the old Saban era writer's room! This episode was indeed at least partially filmed, before Padee quit over whatever reasons she had. As such, it was replaced with "Protect the Quasar Saber". But hey, look! The Astro Megaship in action! An unused Gingaman monster! Cassie as the Pink LG Ranger! A Project Hexagon exclusive!
 

PRLG 323 "The Power of Pink" Second Draft Release.

Since you guys don't have much to say about my uploading of the scripts, I'm not gonna have much to say about what's different here from what aired! You're on your own, few people who bother. But remember anything with an asterix is changed from the first draft. The ending is still the "Cassie becomes LG Pink" version, since it wasn't changed until well after filming.
 

PRLG 323 "The Power of Pink" First Draft Release.

Since you guys don't have much to say about my uploading of the scripts, I'm not gonna have much to say about what's different here from what aired! You're on your own, few people who bother. But there are certainly a lot of little differences (such as no "Psycho Pink in the computer" scene), and the ending, which is entirely different from what everyone knows. Yes, it's the "Cassie becomes Galaxy Pink" ending, which was indeed filmed.
 

PRLG 322 "To The Tenth Power" Second Draft Release.

Since you guys don't have much to say about my uploading of the scripts, I'm not gonna have much to say about what's different here from what aired! You're on your own, few people who bother. But anything that has an asterix beside it is changed from the previous draft. This is closer to the aired version than the first draft, but there's still some details that are different.
 

PRLG 322 "To The Tenth Power" First Draft Release.

Since you guys don't have much to say about my uploading of the scripts, I'm not gonna have much to say about what's different here from what aired! You're on your own, few people who bother. But there are plenty of small differences throughout, from the order of Rangers who get captured, to the lack of Deviot recovering Psycho Pink at the end.
 

PRLG 321 "The Chameliac Warrior" First Draft Release.

Since you guys don't have much to say about my uploading of the scripts, I'm not gonna have much to say about what's different here from what aired! You're on your own, few people who bother. But I can tell you there's at least one deleted scene near the end, with Mike back in the infirmary. Also, Kendrix gets no lines, as Val's sickness was already being taken into consideration (even though she'd end up being available to shoot most of this ep).
