I am with you Green. I would like to follow Abaranger more closely. I would rather the show follow Abaranger more closely. I never understood Power Rangers fans obssession with the return of old characters. In Sentai we rarely get that nor do we need that.

We get it already you don't like Tommy but I completely disagree with you in that Dino Thunder was at its best in the episodes that didn't focus on him.

We get it already you're in love with Sentai and I don't want a Power Rangers writer pretty much copying the content word-for-word since that's nothing more than being lazy... maybe you're fine with that but I'm not and I'm sure there's others out there that don't want lazy writers either.

Yes in Sentai we don't usually get the return of old characters (except for crossovers which is what Power Rangers does as well with its various teamups) but that's because they're not as strict on continuity they typically view a season as a separate universe with no ties to another season until they want them to be connected but that's Sentai and not Power Rangers. Power Rangers was born with a continuity.

Since you're so in love with Sentai then why don't you spend your time watching those episodes instead of Power Rangers? You clearly love watching the same thing twice which is apparently what you want Power Rangers to do and you're in the minority here.

I just like seeing the sentai footage in North America. I would rather have Super Sentai just imported directly like Ultraman Tiga. But that's probably not happening anytime soon.

I like Tommy but having him have a PHD is a bit much. They really didn't know how to write for him in DT. Might as well have had him play a new character. He didn't feel like the real Tommy. As much as I hated Super Megaforce. Tommy felt more real there than in DT.

I agree with Matt. Sentai fans should just watch Sentai if they can't enjoy PR for what it is. The sentai approach is one of the reason I haven't been able to enjoy the show for a very long time.

well you're getting that with the Zyuranger DVD set... the better the sales the more likely more will come out.

DinoThunder came out years after Turbo that's plenty of time for a smart guy like Tommy to spend years in college besides it's a lot more believable than Dana Mitchell becoming a Doctor only a year after LR.

That does seem to be the case
