Even so, I'm not going to one day decide to sift through every episode between Zeo and Dino Thunder just to figure out who was statistically better.

To me Tommy is the best ranger, Jason maybe would be second. A lot of people feel the same way so I can't blame them for stating that Tommy is the best ranger. Even if someone says it as if it's the truth I think it's a given that it's just an opinion, whomever is best is subject to the fans' personal tastes. Any time someone says someone is the best ranger that is opinion. It should not matter if they are stating it as fact because it is true to them, may not be true to someone else, but doesn't matter because anyone who hears/reads that already knows it is an opinion.

And I gave valid reasons why he's not. The irony here is, Tommy's the best ranger, but you won't (or haven't) watched all the seasons he's been in.

Also, I never suggested to "sift through" every episode to find out if he's "the best." I again gave reasons why he's not "the best" without having to "sift through" anything at all.

I'm sorry I haven't jumped on the Tommy Bandwagon. I'm also sorry that everyone loves Tommy. I love Tommy too. In fact, why are we having this discussion? I love Tommy so much, there's no need to have a discussion about it, because "who cares!"

In fact, let's all agree on the same thing, and that way we can just not have a discussion board.

You discuss personal tastes, but yet when someone has a different opinion and states why, it's not okay?

Fact is, there is no "best Ranger." Rangers are chosen for their merits, strengths and weaknesses. Tommy had many weaknesses. But his strengths overcame that.

Am I going to argue that Tommy isn't the "face" of Power Rangers? No. Am I going to deny that Tommy wasn't a very powerful Ranger? No way. That'd be insane. The man had a great Ranger career. But is he the "best Ranger?" No, he's not, and I already gave reasons why.

And changing Ranger colors doesn't make you the best Ranger either, which by your argument that's what he did so that makes him great? Can you clarify on that?
