Going off of the early results of a poll I posted, I'm following the recent trend and posting an Episode/Season Review thread as I make my way through Lightspeed Rescue.
I've previously only seen a handful of eps, so most of it will be new for me, but enough preamble; let's get to the reviews.
General Thoughts
I've always liked Lightspeed Rescue's theme song; it's got a catchy melody and lyrics that are straightforward and encompass the motif of the season really well.
I also really like the costume design for the season. The suits are neat-looking and fit the overall motif of the season really nicely, and match up well with the designs of the Rangers' civilian uniform jackets and the look of the supporting characters' costumes. The villains also look great, with Diabolico and Vypra's costume design standing out the most.
Operation Lightspeed/Lightspeed Teamwork
I've actually seen these two episodes several times before, but no matter how many times I see them, I'm struck by how well they're paced and structured. They feel much more dramatic than is typical for the franchise, which lends itself well to the stories they tell. I also love the subplot in Lightspeed Teamwork involving Joel, as it's a great way to showcase a bit of his character and personality but without overwhelming the rest of the narrative.
I also really like the way the Rangers use their Zords separately and in tandem in Lightspeed Teamwork before forming the Lightspeed Megazord for the first time because it allows the writers to really emphasize the 'Rescue' motif of the season and gives the fight with the monster a more 'grown-up' and realistic feel that is reminiscent of the first Turbo Megazord fight in Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie.
