Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue is the eighth season of the Power Rangers franchise based on Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Possibly some of the least likable Rangers team in the franchise's history (at least, before Operation Overdrive & The Neo Saban era), with Chad's arrogance and prideful nature, and Kelsey was nothing but an over competitive brat.
 * 2) Poor acting.
 * 3) Vypra is one of the worst villains of the Power Rangers franchise, and her acting is terrible.
 * 4) *Speaking of her, she returned in the Time Force episode "Time for Lightspeed".
 * 5) Boring scenarios that get numbing to watch petty quickly.
 * 6) Weak comedy which compares to the first 5 seasons of Power Rangers.
 * 7) Their crossover with mh:besttvshows:Power Rangers Time Force was awful, despite the fact of Time Force was an amazing season.
 * 8) The Evil Ryan arc was a rip-off of the Green with Evil arc.
 * 9) Useless cartoon sound effects.
 * 10) Overuse of Egyptian fables, which are obviously a jab at Haim Saban’s Jewish-Muslim nature.
 * 11) Just like their counterpart, somewhat mediocre suit designs. They sometimes tend to show the person inside it in the Sentai Footage.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Some likable characters like Carter, Joel, Ryan, Diabolico, Dana and Prince Olympius.
 * 2) While the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers' costumes are generic, the Titanium Ranger costume looks Cool.
 * 3) The Megazords of this season are really cool.
 * 4) Queen Bansheera is a super intimidating main antagonist to the Lightspeed Rescue Rangers.
 * 5) The acting is at its worst passable.
 * 6) Catchy theme song.
 * 7) Some good episodes like "The Cobra Strikes", "Trakeena's Revenge", and "The Fate of Lightspeed".
 * 8) The next season, mh:besttvshows:Power Rangers Time Force will become a big improvement.
 * 9) At least this season isn't as terrible as Operation Overdrive and the Neo-Saban Era.
 * 10) This is the first Power Rangers show of the millennium (if you use 2000 as the start of the 3rd millennium)

Trivia

 * This is the first season to feature an American-made Power Rangers-exclusive Ranger with no Super Sentai counterpart, in the form of the Titanium Ranger, designed by PLEX. The lack of a Sentai counterpart is the chief reason behind Titanium Ranger's long absence and losing his powers, since in the long-term, making new footage only for him as well as using Sentai footage of the main five Rangers would have caused the series to go over-budget as such.
 * This is the only season to date to feature an American-exclusive Sixth Ranger.
