Was Doctor Oliver really just undercover during Dinothunder?

[PRangerX]

Everyone wonders how Tommy became a Dr in Palentology so quick. I was wondeing if he perhaps was just using a fake degree as a cover. Maybe he worked with Anton just to get to the Dino Gems. When he has suspecions of Mesogog reserfacing in Reefside, he used his connections to get a job as a teacher at Reefside. Perhaps Hayley and Tommy didn't really meet at Grad School. Tommy may not have told his Rangers everything. Its possible he just stayed in Reefside for a year after Mesagog's defeat...to make sure he didn't resurface. Since villains had a habit of doing so.

Hexagon could have played a big role in this. Which is a secret orginization that monitors all Ranger teams. And is run by Tommy himself. Its part of fanon. It comes from Amit's backstory for NS ( before he lost his job and NS changed). Doug Sloan himself has accepted Hexagon having invovlement in the PRU. We just have never seen in on screen. So it stands to reason that Tommy would have the connections to pull all this off.

The day I refer to Tommy Oliver as a Doctor of anything is the day Power Rangers and Sentai does a real crossover and no Lost & Found In Translation is not a real crossover.

Tommy's only connections were other unaffiliated but allied Power Rangers. Hexagon is not canon and can't be used for anything in a real discussion about the show. If you want to use Hexacrap then talk about other fanon crap. If you want to discuss the show then stick with what is canon. What a person wanted to do in a season he never worked on for whatever reason has about as much merit and value as the pocket lint from 30 days ago.

As for being undercover, no proof exists, just like there is no proof that Tommy was a real doctor unless I missed the diploma on the wall. He did however prove he was evil throughout DT.

[PRangerX]

Hexagon wasn't just Amit's idea. Doug accepted it as Canon. I believe Greg did as well. Sloan just didn't keep the part about Tommy fighting Phantom Rangers in an apocalypse.

There are a lot of things in Power Rangers where you're not going to have explicit proof. Some of it is implicit or just piecing things together. And a lot of it is admittaly theory that won't be 100 percent confirmed.

I don't think its a stretch to say that Tommy had connections. Look at everything he built in DinoThunder. He certianly had connections in "Forever Red". It wouldn't surprised me if Tommy falsified his records so he could go undercover.

I assume you're refering to the monster Tommy and Anton created. The one that can use mind control. That was a pretty devious act. There are some fans that argue Zordon was evil, or something close to it.

[Kamen Rider Decade]

What Doug accepts as "canon" isn't canon unless it is put on the show. Since it was never put on the show in anyway it thus can't be canon.

Tommy had connections they are called Power Rangers, family, & friends. If he falsified records and is not a part of any legitimate police force then he is a criminal thus proving he is evil.

Mind control monster, the dino versions of Putties.

Zordon was evil he !$@#!#! had his pet robot kidnap five underage teenagers then when they didn't cooperate with him he threw them out knowing they would be attacked by Putties.

I don't believe he was undercover at all. Hexagon was a good idea in theory but only in theory and it wasn't a perfect idea at all but I do agree that some of it could be canon I just don't know if anyone else ever admitted to agreeing to taking it into account,.

I disagree that it can't be used in a real discussion, you can still discuss things regardless of whether it's fanon or canon.

I don't know if Doug or Bruce accepted it as canon but regardless of that you are right that not everything in the series will have explicit proof on the show. I agree that it's not a stretch to say Tommy had connections since he built the Biozords and T-drones with Mercer.

Actually canon means "authentic works of a writer" so it actually can be canon regardless of whether we wanted to accept it or not, if he wrote it down somewhere and made it authentic then it would be canon in the show until someone retconned it.

Also while creating Fossilador was a devious act creating the T-drones could have seen as a harmless purpose since remember they were made by both him and Mercer and it's likely they wanted to create their own type of army to try and stop villains.

I do agree that Zordon could be evil as well since they wound up teleporting 5 teens into his Command Center but he didn't throw them out at all that was their choice to leave.

[Captain Mutiny]

Tommy was realy a Palentogogist. He was secretly leading Hexagon though.

[Tommy Angel]

Tommy was always smart and a hard worker. I could see him getting a PHD. Plus MMPR probably sparked his interest in Dinosuars.

[No Green Spandex]

Sorry I just couldn't buy Tommy as a PHD. Maybe as teaching assitant to someone one else like Mercer, but him being a Doctor Oliver was a strech.

[Captain Codfish]

Why not? Dana became a medical doctor in one year? That's insane...She was a medic in LR saving for Medical School. Thats the PRU for you.

[White Tiger Fan]

Tommy as undercover for Hexagon makes perfect sense. Amit really did a great job coming up with the back story.

[Disney Ranger]

Hexagon wasn't a Disney idea so I say no.

I have no problem with the Doctor Oliver stuff. Tommy was still Tommy. Disney was smart to bring him back.

[No Pink Angel]

I don't really see Tommy as a Scientist. That was something Bilky would do. Tommy would have opened a martial arts school or something. Indon't buy the underlying cover stuff either. Its just a plothole.

[Time Force Traitor]

I could see him pretending to be a paleontologist as a cover. It would be a perfect way to look for the Dino Gems. He probably rigged his credentials for the internship with Mercer as well.

[Quantum Hunter]

I think Tommy really did study Palentology. He was obviously connected to Hexagon though.

[Ginger Snap]

Wow never thought of that! I don't think I have as good of imagination as some of you guys. I was just happy Tommy was back! I guess he must have really hit the books to get his PHD. Mrs. Applebee must have been proud.

[Astro Delta]

Tommy's credentials were legit. But he was undercover in the sense he was preparing for a new Ranger team. Those gems were left in the base for whoever was worthy enough to find them. It was too much of a cociendence for the teens to just randomly end up in his underground base. The gems called for them.

[Smarty Pants Rose]

I don't think so. He was a teacher and a Ranger at the same time. Oliver was honest with the team anyway.

[Ginger Snap]

Tommy was definitely undercover. That's why his old records were sealed. He used his influence with Hexagon to get in as a teacher. So he could watch out for the teens that wound up with the gems.

[Knight Wolf]

Sounds too far fetched to me. Just like the whole Hexagon thing. Tommy was really a paleontologist. He was just operating a secret base as well. He didn't forge anything. His records were sealed to protect him.

[Astronema]

I think Oliver was working on his own. He didn't seem like he had a whole organization working for him. Hexagon either didn't exit or was disbanded by then.

[Ninja Kat]

He was deffinitly undercover. I like to think he was secretly married to Kat too.

[Ranger Master]

Tommy isn't smart enough to run an operation like Hexagon is supposed to be. Its bad enough they made him a paleontologist. Which is so unbelievable. To tell. you the truth I think Hexagon is nonsense anyway..

[Sentai Envy]

They should have just had Frank play a new character. One who was a a better adaption of Tommy's Abaranger counterpart.

[Todd Oliver]

Tommy is very smart. Its very possible for him to run an organization like Hexagon.

[Eradicator]

I firmly believe in Hexagon. And believe Doctor Oliver was undercover as a palentologist. He probably really attended zome sort of graduate school though. Since he meant Hailey there.

[Ginger Snap]

And here I was just excited to have Tommy back. Little did I know there was all kinds of behind the scenes innuendo.

[Mesagog Lives]

I don't think so. I think Oliver was just whonhe said he was. I don't overrate Tommy, so I don't buy the whole Hexagon thing.
