Return of the Ranger
Airdate: December 07, 2004
 |
|
 |
| At the Rising Sun Karate academy, a farmiliar voice is heard in the distance. |
|
It is Tommy Oliver, who has been practicing his moves for his workout routine. |
 |
|
 |
| Tommy greets the camera and talks about how much it meant to him to be a Power Ranger. |
|
He talks about his past, and flashes back to when he first came to Angelgrove. |
 |
|
 |
| He remembers when he first became a Power Ranger - as the Green Ranger. |
|
Tommy became a part of the Power Rangers team, which changed him forever. |
 |
|
 |
| As he learned responsibility, respect, and cooperation, he moved on to become the White Ranger. |
|
He later learned discipline as he became infused with the ancient power of the Ninja. |
 |
|
 |
| He also learned to have the right attitude as he became powered with the Zeo Crystal to become the Red Zeo Ranger. |
|
As well, he learned self confidence as he shifted into high gear - as the Red Turbo Ranger. |
 |
|
 |
| Tommy talks about leaving the team to a new group of Rangers; as he went off to college to get his PhD. Since teaching always came natural to him, he became a teacher at Reefside - where he hoped it'd be peaceful. |
|
That's where he had to train a new team of Power Rangers to fight against Mesogog. Conner is a great soccer player, who has strength and speed to spare. |
 |
|
 |
| Kira's the more creative type - smart and resourceful. |
|
Ethan's skill as a gamer made him the ideal canidate to pilot a Dinozord or a Raptor Rider. |
 |
|
 |
| Together they're an amazing team - and they're unstoppable. |
|
Tommy used his experience as a Ranger to teach these Rangers to become an unstoppable fighting force. |
 |
|
 |
| And they would need this training to fight a new enemy - Zeltrax. |
|
They are the Power Rangers Dino Thunder. |
 |
|
 |
| But as every team needs a little help, Tommy returned to the power again. |
|
He took up the mantle of the Black Ranger. |
 |
|
 |
| He harnessed the power of the Brachiosaurus to become the Black Ranger. |
|
A whole new enemy - Zeltrax was there for him to face off against. |
 |
|
 |
| Becoming the Black Ranger was definitely the highlight of his Power Ranger years. |
|
Tommy explains the responsibility of being a Power Ranger; and what an honor it was to be a part of. He then goes back to his workout and says to remember: "Power Rangers rule." |
| Comments: |
- This special is only available on the Dino Thunder DVD's Volume 4: "Collison Course" and Volume 5: "Triassic Triumph".
- This special was filmed at the Rising Sun Karate school, one of the schools that Jason David Frank "Tommy" manages.
- This is the first time since Turbo, that Tommy's passion for martial arts is addressed.
- Tommy makes no mention of Trent, which I can't say is much of a surprise as no footage was shown passed "Back in Black".
