I think so. Though I think during his flashbacks, his sister was played by a different actress than the one who normally played Tenaya, probably in order to keep it a surprise.
There were a couple hints about the hybrid thing pretty early on. In Tenaya’s first appearance, when she’s “disguised” as a human, the guy scanning her says that the scanner’s been picking up a lot of “false readings” lately. Keeping in mind that she turned out to be a hybrid herself, and the mass hybridization that we discovered later, it actually manages to foreshadow both of those plot points in a single moment. But other than that, yeah I’d agree.

Ya, but I think if they had a few hints about all that at an earlier point it would of worked better.
I see the problem of putting that thing about Cole’s parents in wouldn’t of works as they where putting in a number of things about Jindrax and Toxica being actual orgs, like when Toxica got weak from cutting her horn off but Master Org/Dr. Adler never had a horn at at first and only got one when he was killed and made a full org, and the plans would of had Jindrax and Toxica turn back into humans at the end.
Would you say the twist that Tenaya turned out to be Dillon’s sister worked? Or the “Venjix has been infecting humans within Corinth and creating hybrids right under the heroes’ noses” twist? Those ones never felt like it came out of nowhere to me.
I think Judd Lynn may have had access to the previous executive producer’s notes when he completely took over the position on RPM (he had been credited as an additional executive producer as early as episode 7), so he avoided the situation that had plagued Kamen Rider Decade that same year.
@Abarekiller
That reminds me, on TV Tropes’ page for RPM it says this.
“Apparently you can only say die when the people in question don’t actually die.”
@Abarekiller
In fact a lot of people in the scene with the kid lived as they where with Flynn is a flashback, and the kid asked him that, on the bus, if she died then who was the blue RPM ranger?
@Jarkes
I was making a joke about how things are now.
Seem child death by anything other then “illness”(rarely named) is something so rare in shows for kids, even more so with on screen deaths, it’s like a big no no now.
I mess the day when we could have that.
Lost Galaxy and Wild Force had on-screen child death… Not to mention, Wild Force ALSO had what happened to Cole’s parents, which IIRC was also on-screen… Dear GOD, that was terrifying…
it was probably suppose to show that more than just Tenaya’s eyes were different
Really? I thought they just hide Adelaide Kane’s face well.
I think so. Though I think during his flashbacks, his sister was played by a different actress than the one who normally played Tenaya, probably in order to keep it a surprise.
Plus, wasn’t one of Dillon’s flashbacks were to him being one of other humans being operated on?

Well, if they had that in mind from the start as they wrote it, it could’ve worked.
But it would of made some plot holes the size of the zords.
That… would’ve been an interesting twist to be honest.
That reminds me, on TV Tropes’ page for RPM it says this.
“Apparently you can only say die when the people in question don’t actually die.”
no sorry, I meant that line as a whole seperate thing, unrelated to “everyone died”
In fact a lot of people in the scene with the kid lived as they where with Flynn is a flashback, and the kid asked him that, on the bus, if she died then who was the blue RPM ranger?
Not, that kid lived.
in RPM, everyone died…and the cute little kid that asks “are we going to die”
Form what I heard it was something that came up when it switched over to Disney and they had to convince them to keep it.
I think the producers made that up so they could get away with it, and then “forgot” about it when the show officially switched over to Disney.
By the way, did you hear about how it was at one point planed that Jindrax and Toxica would of been Cole’s brainwashed parents?

And “genocide” can be implied if the wording is “destroy” or “eliminate.” Thank you, censorship loopholes.
And heaven forbid it’s a kid.
yeah, you can get away with anything on american tv as long as what is being killed isn’t human nor explicitly shown on on screen
