He had Mega V3, which he piloted.
Additionally, he still knew how to pilot the Astro Megaship.

I would've liked to see him as the In Space red, but eh.
I respect that TJ didn't become as whiny as Rocky did after being demoted (Granted, it may have only been for one episode, but that's one more episode of whining than TJ had).

Oh yeah,forgot about the Megas.I'll give him that.And I totally agree with you about Rocky.Is it just me or did half the time he have this smirk on his face that I always wanted to smack off it?

Oh, trust me, he did.
The writers tried to give the new characters more personality than the goody-good original characters.
Unfortunately for Rocky, they chose to let him have this smug asshole grin across his face.

Flynn was also a policeman, a firefighter, and leader of a tribe of native New Zealandamericans. This is before you factor in his ingenuity, mechanical aptitude, strength, power, and bravery. The fact that he yelled out the fact that he's Scottish just adds to his personality and why he is awesome.

Anyway, I don't see how going from Red Ranger to Blue Ranger is a demotion (S.P.D. notwithstanding). Sure, Red Ranger is usually the leader, but Blue Rangers are the hearts/minds of their teams (usually).

I'll admit it. I voted for Chad.. because he's not TJ.

I voted for Chad because of his search & rescue training and martial arts, but a strong pair of Blues no matter how you slice it.

TJ all the way.

I'd say TJ. He's had more experience as a ranger and while Chad having special training is nice, it can't make up for on the battlefield experience.

TJ because Space is awesome as Fourze would say. TJ was also a red prior to this so that has to say something about his fighting skills.

Two Rangers I don't give a fuck about, though given TJs versatility and experience I'd assume him the better Ranger so he gets my vote.
