Re: Should Tommy have come back as White Ranger?
There was a rumor that Jonathon Tzachor wanted Tommy to die in Jason's arms. It was something that was just talked about and never made any drafts. But its very unclear whether there is any truth to this. I don't see anyway Fox Kids would let Tommy die. The whole thing could be bs anyway.

Re: Should Tommy have come back as White Ranger?
I remember hearing that. But can't say if it was true or not. If it did happen it was more just discussion in the writers room. Since like you said it was never written in any first drafts.

Yeah its total hearsay that can't be reported as fact. Its just something interesting that I heard a long time ago. But like I said could be false.

Tommy couldn't die. That would have been rediculius. I would have stopped watching the show if that happened. Besides Tommy had a dance to take Kim too. The writers new that romance needed to survive. And it wouldn't have even begun if Tommy didn't actually ask her on a date. lol

Re: Should Tommy have come back as White Ranger?
Yeah, it was a bad decision on my part. Since there wasn't enough evidence to really speculate that it was true. Which is why I am being so careful about even mentioning it here. I think I did edit the page to make it more clear it might not be true. I can't remember, anyway the main site was taken down anyway.

Re: Should Tommy have come back as White Ranger?
I could see Tzachor wanting to follow the Sentai closely and do that. But like you said, it could not be true.

Yes b,ut that was years later. Tzachor might not of thought that way at the time. And he didn't have the power he would have later anyway. I don't think he would have pushed to have Tommy killed off.

Re: Should Tommy have come back as White Ranger?
Didn't it come out that the idea he wanted to copy Sentai was over stated? It was more about keeping things under budget. He felt using more of the Sentai was more efficient. Not because he wanted to adapt Super Sentai personally.

Re: Should Tommy have come back as White Ranger?
Yeah, that sounds more realistic. Tzachor more likely believed in adapting Sentai for efficiency and not because he had some mad love for Sentai...Like some fans used to accuse him of. The guy is a proffessional after all. Whether you like his work on the show or not. If he really thought that way Space and Galaxy would have been much different.
