Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

I found it hard to care about Terrance Smith. But it would have been hard to get yet another former Ranger to go with Tommy. And the villian development was interesting. With Zeltrax being totally loyal than going off on his own. I do think his defeat was lacking in the senss we saw him come back so many times from defeat. So why couldn't he come back again?

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

Zeltrax was a fine henchman but he just wasn't strong enough to be an adversary for Tommy. His Terrence Smith backstory did nothing for the rivalry.

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

His human backstory is just too generic and uninteresting. Zeltrax was ok in the present.

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

no doubt it's basically a weaker version of the Fericks/Frax backstory at least that backstory had a lot of substance to it but this Smitty/Zeltrax backstory? there's no substance no true reason he wants revenge on Tommy other than he blames him for an accident that he (Tommy) himself had nothing to do with

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

Its because they wanted to do something to make Tommy seem important and had to give him an arch rival. But since he just existed for Tommy's benefit, his backstory was inferior. Zeltrax should have just been a scientist that made a mistake who was loyal to Mesogog for saving him. But eventually broke away. The needless Tommy hate wasn't needed. And really no one cares about Terrance Smith anyway.

I thought it was cool that Kira got to help Doctor O take our Zeltrax.

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

I think is storyline was too dark. Thats probably why they didn't go too far into his backstory with Tommy.

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

I like the Sentai Storyline with the evil suit and different people being trapped in it.

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

I sometimes wonder if we couldn't have it both ways like have Zeltrax be either Smitty or Jason but have it where he got cured but then Mesogog put all his cyborg stuff into Tommy, and Elsa to make them the new Zeltrax.

Re: Zeltrax as Smitty - what do you think?
 

yea that's the one thing from Abaranger that I thought was cool with the "Zeltrax" suit actually being a transformation suit that one was trapped in until they were defeated
