DinoThunder and Edward Payne
 

DinoThunder would have been so much better with the original Edward Payne character. The last thing PR needed was the return of Tommy. The best parts of DinoThunder didn't include Tommy. He really felt forced in his role . Payne as a new character wouuld hqve made more sense.

I liked that they decided to honor the continuity of Power Rangers and bring Tommy back. I liked that the tried to come up with a backstory to what he had been working on since Turbo. They did a better job with that than FR. Mostly because they had a whole season! DT would lose something without Doctor O.

I'm not saying it couldn't have still been good. Really we will never know the difference it would have made. Bringing Tommy back was a no brainer though. And was handled very well.

Except for how Disney was too cheap to bring Frank back for the full season. And we got the stuck in suit crap.

That was JDF's decision. He wanted to have time to spend with his family and tend to his business in the US. It was part of the deal for his return. Terms set by his side of the negotiating table.

They were better off bringing Tommy back. Its not like the rest or the season wasn't brand new.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne
 

Tommy was handled very well. His absence allowed them to focus on the newer Rangers in the middle of the season. We got plenty of Tommy in his new role as mentor.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne
 

I would have been fine either way. Having Tommy return was cool though.

Re: DinoThunder and Edward Payne
 

I liked having Tommy back for a year and then dinosaur theme. It was no MMPR though. But fine for what it was. I'm just glad they didn't have Kat come back as his wife. Since I like Tommy and Kim together the best.

It was just a back up plan in case they couldn't get JDF to return. I much rather have Tommy as mentor.
