I would have liked it if they did the limited powers thing with Tommy before he lost his powers the first time but that's it.

I really think the storyline was great! The power loss storyline was tragic for MMPR. And they handled his return well by not making things easy for him.

I think the powers storyline was tragic enough. And I see why they had to keep Tommy around much longer. I do thinking having him sacrifice himself to save the world in DinoThunder would have made a lot of sense. It would have took a terrible season and made it tolerable.

exactly and censors would've never allowed it anyway just like they didn't allow Eric's death. Censors only allow human deaths if they're temporary like Kendrix and Alex both were so Power Rangers wouldn't have been able to do a permanent human death regardless of whether they had wanted to or not.

Cole's Parents weren't even supposed to remain dead they were supposed to be Toxica and Jindrax but things slipped through the cracks and they were able to get away with that but that was only because they were changing channels.

I always give mmpr a break in that it was so early on that they couldn't get away with a lot of what they could later on. Not that killing off Tommy would have been a good idea.

It is funny how they never killed off Rangers who left the show.

censors would've never allowed them to since it was a kids' show and there's no way you could show it was only a temporary death if their actor was gone.

I was amazed when Kendrix did die. I never thought I'd see a human die in Pr like that. I felt bad later when I foumd out Valerie left due to having cancer. Luckily everything worked out for her.

It was crazy when Andrews died in RPM. Since he was a full human character and didn't die in Ranger form.

not to mention Marcus too. I think that was his name?

Yeah forgot about him. But at least they didn't have to show him getting shot.
