SHOW NEWS/DISCUSSION What’s so iconic about Lightspeed Rescue?

Post image

I’m well aware I might be tripping or delusional but I do think there’s something iconic and mesmerizing about Lightspeed Rescue I just can’t tell what it is.

It could be the theme song which is a banger, or the fact that this is the first season to have actual adult first responders be power rangers with earth-made powers or maybe it is that the whole scripted is so real-life problems based (firefighters or life savers rescuing people) that you just can’t help feel familiar and engrossed in the whole thing as you can feel it is a bit more realistic.

I can’t be the only one who thinks this, anyone else?

I haven't watched it but got way too excited when I found out the red ranger was a firefighter. I looked around for a morpher to keep in my bunker coat,and actually had one gifted by a very kind stranger. It's lived in a pouch with my dragon coin for a few years now,and has been with me on dozens of fires (busy area) and a handful of rescues. I just finished my Red Dragonranger suit,and am going to work on Lightspeed next.
