Jason Lee Scott (Austin St. John) was originally considered to be the Black Dino Ranger, but, due to Tommy's popularity (and possibly because Jason had previously played a Black Ranger), Tommy was chosen instead.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: On many occasions, the "metal" arms of the zords wobble, showing that they are made of rubber.

Fun Rediscovered

I stopped watching Power Rangers when I was 11 or 12, and it became Zeo Power Rangers. The return of Tommy and the dinosaurs zords, I have new found love of it. I admit I'm somewhat embarrassed by my newly rediscovery of my love of Power Rangers at the age of 19. However, I love getting to relive my childhood.
