+William Ray fairweather is still hottest chick in anything ever and my first erection.... joel and fairweather...first non ranger shipping confirmed in lightspeed...it was the biggest unanswered until the very end non villain question all season lol....honestly it may have overshadowed any other plot point....we all wanted to see them together and would she give him the time of day...
The opening was just OKAY for him! The opening for this was by far my favorite and probably the most epic. these are also one of my favorite rangers unlike previous incarnations because they are actual heroes outside their uniforms. Most of them anyway.
So I just saw in a new story today that Jennifer Yen, who played Vipera, quit acting after Lightspeed Rescue. She apparently had terrible reactions to the makeup and decided to develop a line of skin care products, which is why she was in the news. I just think it's one of those funny stories where life can go in weird directions, one minute you're fighting Power Rangers and the next you're starting a lotion brand. It's always fun to see where these people go when they quit the show, since it seems really rare for anyone involved to stay in acting.
Ironically, Eka Darville (Scott Truman from RPM) keeps showing up wherever I go. He was in the short-lived "Terra Nova" for a bit role, and he had a role in the drama "Empire," where he slept with Jussie Smollett.
Lightspeed Rescue is one of my favorite seasons because these people are basically a rescue team and the Megazords are made completely by human technology.
Are you kidding me? The theme song rocks! This was my favorite theme song when I was a kid! Heck, this was my favorite Power Rangers SERIES because of Carter Grayson: Badass Ranger. Uh, I mean Red Ranger. I kinda get them mixed up. They are kinda the same thing. Mostly because Carter Greyson is a badass.
That's his opinion, man. Not every fan likes the theme to Lightspeed or thinks Carter is a badass. Now I like the PRLR theme and Carter as the leader of the Lightspeed Rangers.
Alex Shade Never understimated the guy who have the guts to attack TWO giant monsters with just two guns AND kicked Bansheera straight to the afterlife #CarterGrayson
Daryl Tan I believe that Carter Grayson can take down the Armada from Super Megaforce in an hour if you gave him a water bottle and two pistols (and maybe a zord).
That explains why I had/have such strong hots for Leon! Carter was my first childhood crush and then I played RE4 when I was 12 or 13-ish and it was love at first sight. I'm still super attracted to them both though lol.
Lightspeed Rescue is one of my favorite seasons of Power Rangers the characters had a few flubs but still got some decent development, with good individual episodes, along with some great team episodes. It was one of the few perfect team dynamics in my mind. With Carter being the driven leader charging a head to protect the innocent, Chad being calm center who aid the others in finding balance, Jole being the cocky clown with heart of gold, Kelsey the free spirit who see all as a challenge, Dana the professional seeking to prevent further innocent harm, and finally Ryan the loaner seeking redemption for the wrongs he's done. It's pretty cool.
I loved the fire color based background Made it feel like these were the opening series to the second wave of power rangers Actually liked the "they're active people who could actually become heros if you gave them powers" vibe
Notice the pattern of their uniforms is like the sun beams on the Japanese flag and their visors are shaped like shields and most of all - these rangers SALUTE instead of strange interpretive dance posing.
***** GogoV is probably one of the most mature seasons. It's been beat by Timeranger and Jetman but still. As I heard Go means "5" so title means 5-5-5 like emergency number.
My head canon was always that the Space Rangers wound up sharing some of their tech when they returned to Earth after the events of Countdown to Destruction. I also maintain that Terra Venture was, in part, created this same way.
I skipped 10 seconds at the intro right when the captain said "your sh..." In my head imagined the scene going "Father they've escaped" "Your shitting me"
10:36 "Trains?" I know right? Trains are just silly for zords. The only thing sillier would be if they were your powers, but that would never happen. ... ...
LaviArray I just find it boring. Specially the whole Tarin gimmick gets old way to quick. There's a reason Toqger isn't getting turned into a Power Rangers season.
Epic-Fran! We dont know yet if they are skipping it or not. Judd Lynn said he would rather go to ninjas than trains. Plus the plot of the show and the color changing elements were awesome!
I liked how this was a back to basic season. It was a lot more simpler and tamed. I liked Carter because he was different from the other rangers, Joel had his good moments, Kelsey and Chad were okay, and hell even Ryan had his good moments. But Dana or I like to call Blandy was BORING omg every time she was on screen I wanted to take a nap. And yes Vypra's "acting" was hilariously bad. But I like this season for being %100 independent from the others. And yes I think Trakeena's Revenge is the worst power rangers team up episode, hell Clash of the Red Rangers in Samurai might've had only one ranger that never demorphed but at least they had made him one of the main characters and had elements from RPM. Over all I give this season a 7/10
one thing that made sense about this version was that were ready to use their guns quicker. because they were a military organization they could forget the fighting the monster on equal terms and more efficiently and more logically just blast the damn thing. this should've been the motif for this version not doing some of the ludicrous stuff that the former rangers had to do because they were bound by some mystic power. I like to think in a different world the lightspeed rangers were a darker anti-hero team of rangers because they could realistically go about things differently and in an untraditional manor.
Lightspeed Rescue Rangers were as pragmatic as they could get. And I loved the team for that. I just recently watched the series as part of a marathon before they take the series out of NETFLIX in February 2021. The Lightspeed Rescue were just so pragmatic in Battle that I loved that fightning style
I love this Take the shirt off lol We had Leo, Ryan, Wes(with his biceps giant), (Wild Force Red, forgot the name, shame on me...).... Oh my... What a view... My mother saw with me those scenes.. she loved it all lol
I remember watching this when I was a little girl. Dear God It's been fourteen years and seeing this brings back so much nostalgia. The 90's had just ended, 9/11 didn't even happen yet. I don't think people carried cell phones back then, or at least no nearly as much as we do today. Heck the US has even been through a war! It amazes me how much as changed.
Funny you should mention the Umbrella Corporation. Sean Johnson(Carter Grayson), looks almost exactly like Leon Kennedy, and we ended up getting Johann Urb.
This is all so strangely familiar to me, I never remember watching more than SPD, playing a game of Light Speed Rescue, and having seen the Turbo movie, yet all of the power rangers clips and openings are all familiar to me, I even find myself knowing the lyrics to the openings quite often. It really is confusing. Perhaps I watched more than I thought I did.
MarioPokemonShadow Yeah, that is interesting. But then again, I guess it sure beats having to see another Black Black Rangers and an Asian Yellow Ranger.
***** Then when the Disney-era came out, we had Jack from SPD and Scott from RPM as the second and third Black Red Rangers. Also, Tommy was revealed to be Native American in Power Rangers Zeo.
MarioPokemonShadow No, it hasn't. But, there is a possibility that hopefully, if either Shuriken Sentai Ninninger or Ressha Sentai Toqger will get a Power Rangers adaptation, we might be able to get a first-ever Asian Red Power Ranger.
Carter: Attempts to run over a monster with a Humvee. Is a firefighter. Drives FUCKING ROBOT TRAINS. Gets an evil douche to help him. Fires two motherfucking nukes at point blank. Tommy is a legend, but Carter is THE RED RANGER ESSENTIAL.
I had the vhs box set of this entire season when i was a kid...the best power ranger in my opinion - power rangers who were chosen because of their proffesion - realistic for a clever child - great story Love this episode
Yeah. I loved that them being public team let then approach the people they saved to Further give them calm. Also I believe the PSA the series did are canon.
@04:27-05:03 Personally, I don't mind if a Power Rangers season is written off as a standalone season, but a few continuity nods and references from past seasons wouldn't hurt once in a while. Just to show that even though the cast may be different from their predecessors, there is still a long-lasting continuation of the legacy of Power Rangers being passed down to a new generation.
A few years ago, I would randomly think of this TV show I used to watch as a kid, though the only part I could remember from it was a train that flew off tracks into the sky. It took me watching this to finally realize that the show was Lightspeed Rescue.
Lightspeed was my favorite season growing up, I started really watching Rangers *just* before the Disney era growing up so I always watched the reruns on abc
Dinas still seemed to try a little to hard sometimes, but still is more superior than that of Vypra's acting and her voice makes me cringe less than Vypra's.
man, I remember this being my favourite power rangers series. I loved the theme, the costumes, the zords, everything. at the time, it even made me wanna be a firefighter when I grew up! instead I grew up and became sad
In regards to Vypra’s acting she did have some bad timing. Sandwiched between three great villain actors (Melody Perkins, Amy Miller, Vernon Wells) isn’t gonna help optics. (The following year, the female secondary villain got a big upgrade with Kate Sheldon)
I must admit, light speed rescue was one of my first series. It was really cool and the idea of a government run ranger project was cool. Plus, it showed them actually rescuing people so there's less of an empty warehouse feel. I also loved the morphing and megazord sequences. The cgi was pretty good and the super train is fun.
@@NitroIndigo this was confirmed by the producers, the SPD operated secretly in the land of this 2000, but became a public organization since 2014 due to the increase of the alien attacks
does anyone else think the rangers are in agony there just like "cool im a power ranger, its morph in time ah oh my god the pain oh my god its melting on to my body oh my god oh cool im the red ranger reds my favorite color" and in jungle fury there dna is changed as well that would be so painful
+Brendan McCabe No, I don't think so. Now maybe if it was established that there were some earlier tests on the rangers' technology with the morphers and the universal morphing grid, I guess you could say that the Lightspeed Rangers and the Jungle Fury morphers were heavily modified so that it wouldn't harm their bodies. But, in Jungle Fury, they pretty much are kung-fu students, so they have to channel their respective animal spirits while mastering their own ki so that they won't feel any pain when they morph. Besides, when has Power Rangers ever became friends with science and logics before?!?!?!
I loved the soundtrack in this season. Not just the opener, but the music that plays to set the mood throughout the episodes (buildings being blown up, rangers getting their shit slapped, moral lessons, happy resolution). It fits the theme of the season well and... Brass
The intro to LSR sounds to me like a promotional commercial for the military, which would fit. That’s something I’d like to see in the future, a team that volunteers to be a member rather than being hand selected. S.P.D. sort of does this, but there’s still a bit if chosen one stuff going on given the origin of the civilian powers.
I'm not a big fan of it. I liked it but I just didn't feel and seriousness like light speed or time force. It just was just a final chapter to me. But maybe I'm wrong I'll have to watch it again. 1 thing I didn't like about it was andros. Don't get me wrong he's a great leader and red ranger but I didn't like the fact they tried their hardest to make him a discount tommy. He was a great leader none the less
Betting Vipera just had bad direction. Seems like she had to rein herself in a few times to avoid actually emoting too much, like she was told to emote as flatly as possible, no matter what.
Lightspeed Rescue = SHIELD Captain Mitchell = Nick Fury Dana = Coulson Carter = Captain America Ms. Fairweather = Maria Hill Lightspeed Power Rangers = Avengers. Heck they even had one of the demons called Loki (I know i'ts pronounced LOKAI but still). Cool huh?
I can't seem to prove this, but I also recall this series for being the first to explain why both power rangers and monsters have an aversion to water in the show: it seems to physically hurt the monsters and force the rangers to demorph, to the point where that is why the base is underwater. I seem to recall in one episode where a monster got into the base Carter momentarily weakened it by pulling it into the moonpool, forcing it to retreat.
Forget "they haven't got a heart." The problem with the Cyborg Rangers is that they can't think for themselves. Having a controller nearby makes the person operating them a massive target. Also what if said operator needed to put them in a situation where he can't see? Or he can't make a split second decision the way a person trained or experienced with danger can?
Kellen Dean Not explored or denied so fans can make what they will. In Wild Force we had Black WF Ranger Danny Delgado. SPD - Yellow Delta Ranger Elizabeth "Z" Delgado Coincidence?
ReduxEditor335 could be related but again power rangers isn't exactly the most consistent series, some seasons even try to make it seem like a stand alone
Kellen Dean they try but in the end they all end being connected to past seasons somehow, minor inconsistencies and retcons notwithstanding. RPM came closest, but Saban worked around it by saying RPM took place in an alternate dimension, which actually rather clever as Go-Onger dealt with multiple parallel dimensions.
fun fact, historically there was a gun-blade, (a cutlass-pistol to be precise) developed by the u.s navy for boarding parties, because they apparently thought there weren't enough parallels to pirates. The Elgin Cutlass pistol for the curious for more historic gun-blades, see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_sword Edit: and becuse that wasn't enough, there's also a combination pistol-knife-knuckleduster called an apache revolver. for when you can't decide where to shoot, stab or punch a guy.
Wow! You could switch out Carter Grayson and Riley Finn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and hardly anyone would notice. Don't get me wrong, I like both of those characters but they are pretty much carbon copies of each other.
Honestly, after re-watching Lightspeed Rescue, Jennifer L. Yen(aka: Vypra) looks more like a Sexy Cosplayer, than an actual Villain. Although Part of me wonders if she's supposed to be a Succubus? 🤔
I got a huge question about Captain Mitchell and the Aquabase. So they know that the demons were sealed away 5 millennia ago, but when did construction of the aqua base begin? (And more importantly, how since ya know, it’s at the fucking bottom of random ocean/body of water). Even so, the demons were sealed 5000 years ago, and the base seems to mainly be prepared for the demons (I suppose they’re prepared for other aliens/monster invasions, but the demons are the first and only monsters emphasized). The base could’ve gone another century before the demons were released. It’s been 5000 years, so it might’ve been another 5000 years for all we know. After 5 millennia, so what makes the creator think that in a few decades, someone will be foolish enough to open the tomb? In addition, when Ryan was saved by Diabolico, did this cause beef for Mitchell because it became personal?
the theme is super fitting for theme of the season and really good. i think linkara just has high standards for pr themes, i get the og was rocking but not all of em have to be lol
![Linkara [HOPR] Power Rangers Mystic Force Part 1](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/VcwFzkazFl4/mqdefault.jpg)

*cough* Maya and Z *cough*
Vipra is a looker as well. Especially AFTER the show
I remember it because I watched the seasons out of order when I was younger and it was the first time I saw a megazord getting hijacked and destroyed
@@RhyperiorRanger Vypra is one of the worst villains of the Power Rangers franchise, and her acting is terrible.
Finally. Thank you Carter for proving that not all Graysons are dicks.
Super Saiyan 2 Gohan If Linkara re-records this, I REALLY hope he uses that pun
Nightwing reference? Or just assholes?
The opening was just OKAY for him! The opening for this was by far my favorite and probably the most epic. these are also one of my favorite rangers unlike previous incarnations because they are actual heroes outside their uniforms. Most of them anyway.

AkuTenshiiZero Wow thanks for the information
He also pops up in Jessica Jones so he's now in the MCU.
AkuTenshiiZero that's actually kind of cool thank you for telling us that
Lightspeed Rescue is one of my favorite seasons because these people are basically a rescue team and the Megazords are made completely by human technology.
So....Lost Galaxy had Charlie Brown suits, and these ones look like Peppermints...the next ones should logically be based on Woodstock and Snoopy.
Will N I don't know what I was thinking when I said that maybe it was late at night or something but I believe you

+Pheonix Kamiya it grayson for both of them you uncultured swine

#CarterGrayson
Daryl Tan I believe that Carter Grayson can take down the Armada from Super Megaforce in an hour if you gave him a water bottle and two pistols (and maybe a zord).
Not only do the suits have Umbrella Corporation look to them, but Carter Grayson looks a lot like Leon Scott Kennedy more so from Resident Evil 4.
Jake Suhr i think they're supposed to look like the design on a knight's armor.
I can now never unsee it
That explains why I had/have such strong hots for Leon! Carter was my first childhood crush and then I played RE4 when I was 12 or 13-ish and it was love at first sight. I'm still super attracted to them both though lol.
The power rangers Lightspeed Rescue Theme song was one of my favorite power rangers theme song. In my opinion.
That and power rangers lost galaxy stays in my head
We must hunt down this kreton known as linkara. He must pay dearly for his musical ignorance. This slight can not go unpunished.
Lightspeed Rescue is one of my favorite seasons of Power Rangers the characters had a few flubs but still got some decent development, with good individual episodes, along with some great team episodes. It was one of the few perfect team dynamics in my mind. With Carter being the driven leader charging a head to protect the innocent, Chad being calm center who aid the others in finding balance, Jole being the cocky clown with heart of gold, Kelsey the free spirit who see all as a challenge, Dana the professional seeking to prevent further innocent harm, and finally Ryan the loaner seeking redemption for the wrongs he's done. It's pretty cool.
Even the snake tattoo has better acting than Vipera and it's only in a couple episodes!
Wow not going to lie man, this was awesome XD
Not to mention animated.
Agent Maine XD
Sick burn
So wahr
"Thank God! We'll be saved by Clark Kent, the Pink Punk, Mega Porn-stache Man, the Mighty Cross-dresser and Elderly Woman!!!" XD
And most people think Infinity War is the best crossover.
@@darkknight5541 Although, Mega Porn-stache Man was technically in Endgame where he was played briefly by Ken Jeong, lol.
I loved the fire color based background
Made it feel like these were the opening series to the second wave of power rangers Actually liked the
"they're active people who could actually become heros if you gave them powers" vibe
Lightspeed Rescue is also notable for giving the characters last names.
They had last names in the other shows, but their last names weren't regularly mentioned.
Or shown in the opening credits.
True, they gave them full names from the first episode, mighty morphin did that too, but that developed later in the series.
That's true. With some RANGERS we only know their nicknames and don't discover their real names after a while (or in the case of T.J. many years).
Aside from Tommy Oliver, I don't remember very many last names mentioned regularly
Notice the pattern of their uniforms is like the sun beams on the Japanese flag and their visors are shaped like shields and most of all - these rangers SALUTE instead of strange interpretive dance posing.
So its like they are designed to make people know they are safe. The multicolored stuff isnt just rule-of-cool anymore, its on purpose for a change.

GogoV is probably one of the most mature seasons. It's been beat by Timeranger and Jetman but still. As I heard Go means "5" so title means 5-5-5 like emergency number.
Franciszek Rychlewicz
Yep. In Japan, Super Sentai is caviar to us but in America, Power Rangers is a Big Mac!
Rooster Montgomery I'm not American and Bic Macs aren't that much of my taste.
Still Power Rangers RPM is my favourite season of PR and Sentai.
I always wanted a crossover between Lightspeed Rescue & SPD for some reason.
That actually would be cool, imagine the SPD holding a police chase with the demons or guarding the Lightspeed rangers as they rescue civilians.
Well there was the hint that light speed became SPD because of sky's dads helmet being the same as the light speed helmets.
The games masta Actually, Sky's dad had the time force suit and disney said he was wearing it to save costs rather than making another suit to use.
Thanks Thomas, I remembered that it was one of the old ones and I guess I just thought it was light speed for some reason.
Similar concepts
My head canon was always that the Space Rangers wound up sharing some of their tech when they returned to Earth after the events of Countdown to Destruction. I also maintain that Terra Venture was, in part, created this same way.
but it really happened, the biggest proof of that is that the special shuttle was the head of the giant space guards robot
I mean.... The Nasada apparently knew the Rangers so i think it is canon
I skipped 10 seconds at the intro right when the captain said "your sh..."
In my head imagined the scene going
"Father they've escaped"
"Your shitting me"
I like Carter G., too! He reminds me of Future Trunks from DBZ. He cuts the crud and just goes straight for the kill, even if he doesn't get it.
10:36 "Trains?"
I know right? Trains are just silly for zords.
The only thing sillier would be if they were your powers, but that would never happen.

That's good that he actually has a career, can't say the same for the other actors.

So... your interpretation of Lightspeed is like my interpretation of the A-Squad.

And I loved the team for that.
I just recently watched the series as part of a marathon before they take the series out of NETFLIX in February 2021.
The Lightspeed Rescue were just so pragmatic in Battle that I loved that fightning style

Lucky! Hope I can meet her too and more rangers. I've already met Cat Sutherland!
let me guess, at wondercon 2015?
Actually no. It was in my city lol
oh
Yeah me too one of the three nicest people I've ever met.
I think a good example of doing over-the-top well in Power Rangers is Lord Zedd, especially during his introduction.
I have to say that every time I watch the light speed theme I do the whole wrist cross morphing sequence thing, it's that addictive to me.
I love this Take the shirt off lol

He's got Leon S. Kennedy's looks and Chris Redfield's badass attitude.

:) I think they'll need more zombies.
This season, was awesome

This is an awfully dark scene for a kids show 😂
Y’know, Lightspeed Rescue is basically XCOM.
Carter:
Attempts to run over a monster with a Humvee.
Is a firefighter.
Drives FUCKING ROBOT TRAINS.
Gets an evil douche to help him.
Fires two motherfucking nukes at point blank.
Tommy is a legend, but Carter is THE RED RANGER ESSENTIAL.

I agree Lightspeed Rescue is the best.
Skalopulton301 along with time force
Skalopulton301 for me it was one of the weaker seasons
I do love how with this season the Rangers actually go out and help people who are hurt during the attacks and after

PRLR feels like it has a ghost busters theme to it a bit.
I feel it to, wierd
Because it had demons, right?
Carter is one of my most favorite Red Rangers.
man, I remember this being my favourite power rangers series. I loved the theme, the costumes, the zords, everything. at the time, it even made me wanna be a firefighter when I grew up! instead I grew up and became sad
I also love continuity in power rangers
I actually told Sean CW Johnson about this and he was actually impressed.
In regards to Vypra’s acting she did have some bad timing. Sandwiched between three great villain actors (Melody Perkins, Amy Miller, Vernon Wells) isn’t gonna help optics.
(The following year, the female secondary villain got a big upgrade with Kate Sheldon)
The Supertrain Megazord. One of my favourite Megazords EVER.
And largest next to the Delta Command Megazord.
I must admit, light speed rescue was one of my first series. It was really cool and the idea of a government run ranger project was cool. Plus, it showed them actually rescuing people so there's less of an empty warehouse feel. I also loved the morphing and megazord sequences. The cgi was pretty good and the super train is fun.
Also, is it just me or does light speed remind everyone of the tone of StarGate sg1.
what I wish was fixed was the NOTICEABLE difference between sentai and american footage....
If they have men in black in power rangers earth why cant they be used to deal with the aliens?
Technically the Lightspeed Rescue did help Trakena and her character is an alien.
They're too busy kidnapping children and telling them that they're allergic to sunlight so that [the kids] can do all the weapon math for them.
I've heard theories that SPD used to function like the Men in Black.
@@noonethatspecial RPM 😂😂😂
@@NitroIndigo this was confirmed by the producers, the SPD operated secretly in the land of this 2000, but became a public organization since 2014 due to the increase of the alien attacks
does anyone else think the rangers are in agony there just like "cool im a power ranger, its morph in time ah oh my god the pain oh my god its melting on to my body oh my god oh cool im the red ranger reds my favorite color" and in jungle fury there dna is changed as well that would be so painful
+Brendan McCabe No, I don't think so. Now maybe if it was established that there were some earlier tests on the rangers' technology with the morphers and the universal morphing grid, I guess you could say that the Lightspeed Rangers and the Jungle Fury morphers were heavily modified so that it wouldn't harm their bodies. But, in Jungle Fury, they pretty much are kung-fu students, so they have to channel their respective animal spirits while mastering their own ki so that they won't feel any pain when they morph.
Besides, when has Power Rangers ever became friends with science and logics before?!?!?!
+Brendan McCabe When was the Jungle Fury Rangers' DNA changed? Wasn't it Operation Overdrive that had the Rangers' DNA changed.
The theme song rocks! Heck I literally started singing it when he referenced it at the end of the last lost galaxy review
I loved the soundtrack in this season. Not just the opener, but the music that plays to set the mood throughout the episodes (buildings being blown up, rangers getting their shit slapped, moral lessons, happy resolution). It fits the theme of the season well and... Brass
The intro to LSR sounds to me like a promotional commercial for the military, which would fit. That’s something I’d like to see in the future, a team that volunteers to be a member rather than being hand selected. S.P.D. sort of does this, but there’s still a bit if chosen one stuff going on given the origin of the civilian powers.
I like “ the dangers will test you better make it a light speed rescue”
"Behold my son, and your destructor!" - He's in a cocoon, that's not a very terrifying image!
This was actually my first power rangers series!
The theme song is badass though...
The chorus of the opening is catchy enough. Not quite the earworm of Lost Galaxy's chorus but it works.
Lightspeed Rescue was a first series that was definitely in the Post Zordon Era and had a hard time finding its footing again until Wild Force.
maybe general McKnight is related to Connor
This series was so much more serious than the other it was a lot smarter and had better acting. Mmpr is the best but this is a close second.
In my opinion, Time Force is better. The acting, plot, and the rangers itself just were better for me.
I can't believe I forgot time force. Yes it had the best acting overall
What about In Space?
I'm not a big fan of it. I liked it but I just didn't feel and seriousness like light speed or time force. It just was just a final chapter to me. But maybe I'm wrong I'll have to watch it again.
1 thing I didn't like about it was andros. Don't get me wrong he's a great leader and red ranger but I didn't like the fact they tried their hardest to make him a discount tommy. He was a great leader none the less
RPM anyone?
The Lightspeed plot sounds crazy even for Power rangers.
I am in love with the morphin scene & You have said Silver Quills favorite word: Continuity.
Betting Vipera just had bad direction. Seems like she had to rein herself in a few times to avoid actually emoting too much, like she was told to emote as flatly as possible, no matter what.
Lightspeed Rescue = SHIELD
Captain Mitchell = Nick Fury
Dana = Coulson
Carter = Captain America
Ms. Fairweather = Maria Hill
Lightspeed Power Rangers = Avengers.
Heck they even had one of the demons called Loki (I know i'ts pronounced LOKAI but still). Cool huh?
+Δημήτρης Μπάρδας Coincidecnce?! I think not!!! XD
Awesome comparison.
The theme song is just okay🤪. Are you mad sir the theme song is amazing.
It's funny, but the guy playing Captain Mitchell was only like 33 years old. He was only 13 years older than the actors playing his son and daughter.
Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue: Saban's Avengers
I can't seem to prove this, but I also recall this series for being the first to explain why both power rangers and monsters have an aversion to water in the show: it seems to physically hurt the monsters and force the rangers to demorph, to the point where that is why the base is underwater. I seem to recall in one episode where a monster got into the base Carter momentarily weakened it by pulling it into the moonpool, forcing it to retreat.
Funny enough said Monster was Olympus
Forget "they haven't got a heart." The problem with the Cyborg Rangers is that they can't think for themselves. Having a controller nearby makes the person operating them a massive target. Also what if said operator needed to put them in a situation where he can't see? Or he can't make a split second decision the way a person trained or experienced with danger can?
Now that I'm older, I LOVE the Lost Galaxy and Lightspeed Rescue theme songs
Other than it looks like a cartoon instead of you know a real snake or alien snake I think the scene was pretty good especially for the time period
General McKnight
Conner McKnight
Coincidence? I think not!
+Boruto “Lion Cub” Uzumaki Uhh, Bernie...
Okay I was thinking the same thing but considering they were in different eras it's most likely a coincidence
Kellen Dean Not explored or denied so fans can make what they will.
In Wild Force we had Black WF Ranger Danny Delgado.
SPD - Yellow Delta Ranger Elizabeth "Z" Delgado
Coincidence?
ReduxEditor335 could be related but again power rangers isn't exactly the most consistent series, some seasons even try to make it seem like a stand alone
Kellen Dean they try but in the end they all end being connected to past seasons somehow, minor inconsistencies and retcons notwithstanding. RPM came closest, but Saban worked around it by saying RPM took place in an alternate dimension, which actually rather clever as Go-Onger dealt with multiple parallel dimensions.
fun fact, historically there was a gun-blade, (a cutlass-pistol to be precise) developed by the u.s navy for boarding parties, because they apparently thought there weren't enough parallels to pirates.
The Elgin Cutlass pistol for the curious
for more historic gun-blades, see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_sword
Edit: and becuse that wasn't enough, there's also a combination pistol-knife-knuckleduster called an apache revolver. for when you can't decide where to shoot, stab or punch a guy.
The reason why they recruited civilians is because this is a rescue team, not a military operation.
It's Interesting that Impus is called a "Destructor" and that the building at 21:14 looks alot like the building in Ghostbusters 1.
Wow! You could switch out Carter Grayson and Riley Finn from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and hardly anyone would notice.
Don't get me wrong, I like both of those characters but they are pretty much carbon copies of each other.
Honestly, after re-watching Lightspeed Rescue, Jennifer L. Yen(aka: Vypra) looks more like a Sexy Cosplayer, than an actual Villain. Although Part of me wonders if she's supposed to be a Succubus? 🤔
This is one of my favorite power rangers music out of 10!
I had vhs with the Ryan Snake Tattoo episodes. Fell in love with the show right there
I also had the Curse of the Cobra vhs tape. Always watched it as a movie.
@@Dgamer-kq5kt dude, it was one of the only videos at my grandma's, i watched it religiously everytime i visited lol
@@OlPalJoe Same here!
I got a huge question about Captain Mitchell and the Aquabase. So they know that the demons were sealed away 5 millennia ago, but when did construction of the aqua base begin? (And more importantly, how since ya know, it’s at the fucking bottom of random ocean/body of water). Even so, the demons were sealed 5000 years ago, and the base seems to mainly be prepared for the demons (I suppose they’re prepared for other aliens/monster invasions, but the demons are the first and only monsters emphasized). The base could’ve gone another century before the demons were released. It’s been 5000 years, so it might’ve been another 5000 years for all we know. After 5 millennia, so what makes the creator think that in a few decades, someone will be foolish enough to open the tomb? In addition, when Ryan was saved by Diabolico, did this cause beef for Mitchell because it became personal?
If there's an evil container, it will be opened.
I believe only three four teams are public I.D. from the beginning.
Lightspeed
SPD
Overdrive
RPM
4:12 WAS THAT A FURBY?
8:00 that flip\stab combo is SO BOSS.
Oh my goodness, it is Tankenstein!
Sorry dude. All I can hear during the morphing scene is
*PEPSIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN*
Cater and Dana was in super mega force
the theme is super fitting for theme of the season and really good. i think linkara just has high standards for pr themes, i get the og was rocking but not all of em have to be lol
I actually think the more brass instrumental version used within episodes fits the simi-military fill of the show. But that's just my silly opinion.
about your gunblade comment, didn't Final Fantasy XIII do a transforming Gunblade for Lightning?
