Okay, about the final episode did anybody actually SEE "Galieleo's New Memory"? Because I have every episode and that whole "Grimlord's chamber goes up in flames" thing never happens. Yes I know the official summary says it does but that episode guide says alot of things that didn't actually happen. Here's what REALLY happened: The Troopers invented a robot named Galileo to assist Professor Hart and Grimlord sends Doommaster and the Ultra-Skugs to steal him when they take him to Dr. Poindexter's lab (first appearance of Poindexter since the season 1 finale) seeking his aid in working the bugs out. Luckily, Poindexter installed a homing device which the Troopers were able to use to track him to Grimlord's dark fortress (that's what Grimlord's season 2 HQ was called which makes me wonder if that's where they got the name for Astronema's HQ on PR in Space). Ryan has to go fight a monster (iirc) while Kaitlin and JB go to the Dark Fortress (Grimlord, Doommaster and Despera are not there for whatever reason) and find Oraclon (Grimlord's computer aka the face on the wall) copying Galileo's data. The Troopers cause Oraclon to overload by giving Galileo an impossible command (they ask him to calculate the exact size of the universe). Oraclon is destroyed and the Troopers leave with Galileo. That's when Grimlord, Doommaster and Despera return to find the Troopers leaving and smoke coming up from where Oraclon used to be. Grimlord commands Despera to deploy the Grimstars (these were what Grimlord's flying attack vehicles were called in season 2) and Despera said they couldn't until Oraclon was reprogrammed at which point Grimlord commands her to reprogram him and repair the dark fortress (though as far as I could tell there wasn't that much to repair apart from Oraclon) and when that was done he would "unleash a power that will wipe the VR Troopers from reality once and for all" and then he lifts his hands skyward and starts zapping energy beams from them then Doommaster and Despera join in with their sword and wand respectively and add their energy beams to his. Not sure what that was about actually. But clearly they could not launch any attacks or (presumably) create any more monsters until Oraclon was reprogrammed. But if you followed the second season you'd know that this was just a minor setback as this wasn't the first time Oraclon was destroyed. In the episode "Into Oraclon's Web" he is destroyed in battle with Ryan Steele which if memory serves me was actually the final battle footage from Uchu Keiji Shaider (the 1984 Metal Heroes series from which the season 2 VR Ryan footage was adapted) as Oraclon was the main villain in that series. Anyway, in that particular episode after Ryan destroys Oraclon, Grimlord simply commands his minions to "rebuild Oraclon at once" and sure enough by the next episode he was back as if nothing had happened. Though I'm not sure if the fact that in "Into Oraclon's Web" Oraclon just needed to be "rebuilt" but in the final episode he had to be "reprogrammed" has any relevance like maybe the first time only his form was destroyed but he had been backed up or something but the second time he actually crashed and had to be reprogrammed from scratch. Something to think about. Hope this helps.
