![]() Judd Lynn eventually returned to the franchise and wrote two episodes of Jungle Fury under the pseudonym Ally Mondera due to him participating in the 2007-2008 Writer's Guild of America Strike. He was also the one who pushed for greater effort in filming PR-exclusive footage than previous incarnations with Tzachor's decision to adhere heavily to the Sentai being a reason for his departure post-Time Force. Lynn was also responsible for causing the franchise to move in a more adult direction instead of just goofy and slice of life. Many have cited him as saving Power Rangers by proxy since In Space's ratings kept it alive although that's a misnomer since there were other factors than Turbo (mainly the popularity of both Pokemon and Dragonball Z in the western world) that led to the franchise's near end. He had grown up with series such as Star Trek and Star Wars and wanted to homage them in what was originally the final season of Power Rangers. Lynn was the one who chose to base In Space in outer space as opposed to the video game theme of Denji Sentai Megaranger. Once production of Power Rangers Turbo wrapped, Lynn was made Co-Producer with Jonathan Tzachor, beginning with Power Rangers in Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force, the last season he was involved in before his departure from MMPR Productions. The writing of the season is commonly regarded as having significantly improved. This is because they were ideas from Sloan and Austen but Lynn and his staff decided that the first half of the season was so bad that they chose to start over from scratch and disregarded the early season plots. The change in writers was actually evident in the show itself since both the Millennium Message and the Dimitria/ Divatox plot were abandoned part way through the season. This was because the previous head writers and producers, Ann Austen and Douglas Sloan left during writing the episode " Rangers in Concert" (which was cancelled once they left) with Lynn being chosen as their replacement since he was the most experienced writer in the franchise. He was initially just a writer for Power Rangers before becoming a director on Power Rangers Turbo, starting with the fourth episode " Shadow Rangers." He served as a staff writer for the first seventeen episodes before Haim Saban made him head writer for more than five years beginning midway though Power Rangers: Turbo. For Season 3 and Power Rangers Zeo, Judd didn't write any episodes but did serve as the Production Manager although he directed second unit scenes for Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie. Judd Lynn began his work in the franchise when he wrote the Season 2 episode " Welcome to Venus Island" and continued writing throughout the second season. ![]()
