[edit] green ranger

can some one (nOT ME) put in SOMEWHERE that the costum difrence in the green ranger IN dino thunder

I mean really am I the only one that notic that when DR O was fighting all his former self THE GREEN RANGER WAS DIFRENT THE HELMET AND SHELD WERE DIFRENT\\ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertotoons (talk • contribs) 10:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

There are multiple mentions in the article that state that the voice over in SPD is the only instance of the character being played by anyone besides Jason David Frank, but this is simply not true. There is a time when all of the rangers are turned into children, including Tommy, and thus, the character was played by another actor during these episodes (that is, a child actor). I believe it was the majority of the Mighty Morphin' Alien Rangers saga, if not part of the third season's normal episodes as well.

And in addition to what you just said, they also used JDF voice clips recycled from certain DinoThunder episodes during his appearance in S.P.D.. --156.34.72.244 09:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate versions

I would like to start an alternate versions section for this, and many other PR articles. But especially this one. It seems to me, since people are so intent on including the Zeo future with Tommy and Kat married in the article, then we should include it as a separate bit. As it really doesn't fit in with the current tone of character history. It seems like a worthwhile endeavor given that there are several alternate Tommys - MMPR: The Movie version, A Season to Remember's possible future, his clone, the alternate Tommy that helped him from the future (although I'm fuzzy on the details of that event), and to some extent his ancestor the White Stranger. Any thoughts? --Venomaru 2.0 01:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

No offense, but that seems kind of pointless. The movie version was never canon, but the outcome of A Season to Remember is still a possiblity. His clone was never spoken of again, and appears that his decision to stay in the past has had no impact in the current timeline. And the warning Tommy recieved from the future, while not followed through (I think), he carried on to himself in the past, and everything turned out fine. The White Stranger really has no extent, as he was pretty much useless in his appearance. So really, taking all this into consideration, his future with Kat is the only thing that has actual meaning.

Hence the "Alternate versions" section. A section for non-canon Tommy portrayals, and possible future versions, etc. The point being that many of this information is important to the PR mythos, especially the movie, but we can't put it in the regular article as it doesn't fit the sectional format of the article, or the history. It's not exactly like we can slip the movie information into the biography since it takes place in an alternate continuity. Anyways, much like this page, and many other similar articles, I believe that there are enough alternate portrayals for the section to be notable. --Venomaru 2.0 01:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary. Mention of what happened in the movie is summarized well in it's article, and it didn't focus in on one ranger alone. I believe that 'A Season to Remember' has the only real meaning in this article, as it's the only glimpse we get to Tommy's future.CrystallixRed 03:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)CrystallixRed

[edit] Starting Paragraph

"Dr. Thomas "Tommy" Oliver is a fictional character from the u" <that doctor bit doesn't make sense since he was in high school with the others when he started. Peachey88 ^{(Talk Page | Contribs)} 13:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clothing

I watched several episodes with Tommy wearing green clothing as White Ranger. Should it be mentioned? Jedi Striker 16:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
