Power Rangers: Sauvetage éclair

The cast very different, good first episode. No more teenagers, they are more like young adults now. Great looking cast. Awesome zords, great morphing sequence, cool villains, lots of adventure, and great costumes. The power rangers are back and they have jobs. They have more responsibility, having jobs, and saving the world in a different city. They also have a cool underwater base to have more secret operations. Although their identities aren't secret this time, the show is great so far.

Okay. I have to admit. The last I heard of the Power Rangers was as a source of a joke's punch line. But this team is more crown, more mature, more enabled in talent and fighting, and more closely resemblant to the sentai from which it is based. Even if you're not a fan, you still should watch for the fact that this incarnation has more plot than the rest of the series combined.

Lightspeed Rescue is a good show. Instead of being in space like the last two shows, Lightspeed Rescue is back on Earth in Mariner Bay. The whole premise is more interesting. Rather than conquering the world, the villains are more interested in taking back their home, which happens to be Mariner Bay. The cast is great, along with effects, zords and stories. Thumbs up.

I liked this one.

It wasn't their best season but I liked the theme a lot with rescue and all that was very neat. The bad guys weren't all that bad the rangers weren't that bad either so it was okay.

I deffinetly preffer this one over Time Force and Wild Force. But it doesn't quite get up there with in Space and Galaxy I don't think.

Did like the theme. The caracters, their roles could have been a little bit better I think but I think it was good so I give it hmmm a 3 1/2 to a 4 star rating.

Some people would consider Lightspeed Rescue to be the weaker of the Power Rangers series. It's pretty understandable since it does many things differently from other PR shows, but after having re-watched most of the episodes recently, I found this to be one of the stronger series.

A new team of Power Rangers is commissioned by a Earth-based military organization to protect the city of Mariner Bay from a group of ancient demons looking to reclaim their home. This team of Ranger is comprised not of teenagers, but of young adults with past professions and public identities. It's a different dynamic and an interesting look at how a government-sanctioned Ranger team would function.

Everything about Lightspeed seems to fit. The characters are given ample amount of development and the acting is crisp enough that I actually care about what happens to these characters. The set pieces for the Lightspeed Aquabase are fairly good, even though they're too much like the previous series. The plot flows nicely and every episode seems to contribute something to the overall story... even the insignificant fillers.

Fans of PR shouldn't be disappointed with Lightspeed. It's almost on par with In Space, another PR series that is considered classic - however, Lightspeed can be viewed as a standalone and doesn't require the viewer to watch the older series. If you can catch the show on air, go ahead and give it a go.
