"Time for Lightspeed" has aired!
The Time Force and Lightspeed Rescue teamup aired last Saturday the twenty-ninth, and was very good, though it didn't over impress me. All of the Lightspeed Rangers have occupations now- Dana is a doctor (maybe a pediatrition), Chad is a lifegaurd, Kelsey is still doing her extreme sports, and Joel is married to Miss Fairweather (uhh, excuse me. Mrs. Rawlings). Vypra arises from her grave to steal the Solar Amulet with the help of the mutants from a museum to bring forth a great demon named Quarganon. On her first attempt, Carter and Wes steal it back fomr her. Later, though, as the two were driving away, the demons and mutants reappear and summon the "super-demon". Six rangers (Time Force and Carter) begin to fight, but then the other four Lightspeed Rangers appear wielding their Rescue Blasters. After Ryan and Eric show up, the Rangers fight Quarganon and Vypra's demons. Then, the Rangers with any type of armor (Chad and Joel with Lightspeed Mega Battle, Carter with Transarmor Cycle, Eric with Quantum Mega Battle, and Wes with Battle Fire) attack the superdemon and Vypra, destroying them.
Some questions abouth the Power Rangers timeline have been answered with this episode. It seems that Lost Galaxy took place slightly after Power Rangers in Space and not in 2005.
Teamup to air 9/29!
The much anticipated Lightspeed Rescue and Time Force teamup will air this Saturday, 9/29! In this episode, Chad will have long hair, and all the armor from both series will be shown! Don't miss it this Saturday at 8:30!
Sympathies and Prayers go out to Terrorist Victims
As all of youknow, this past week has been a tragic one in which America's freedom was attacked by terrorists. The World Trade Center has collapsed, as well as the Pentagon damaged. The death toll is currently in the thousands. Our greatest sympathies and prayers go out to those whose family was killed or injured in these "cowardly acts of terrorism", and we pray that Mr. President will lead us in God's will for this country. God bless America!
Death of Thuy Trang, Former Yellow Ranger
Though this has not yet been confirmed (but was stated on Funaroverse which is usually correct), Thuy Trang, original Yellow Ranger Trini after Audrey Dubois rejected the role after the pilot, died earlier this week in a car accident. Our sympathies go out to Thuy's friends and family, as does the Power Rangers fandom.
Lightspeed Rescue's Neil Kaplan to voice Optimus Prime!

New Videos!
New Lightspeed Rescue videos are hitting the shelves! Other than Lightspeed Rescue, Curse of the Cobra, and Triple Force, there are two new videos coming- The Queen's Wrath and Neptune's Daughter (presumably a Toys R Us exclusive). Lightspeed Rescue is now the first series since Mighty Morphin to have FIVE videos!
Keith Robinson on ER
Last time on ER, Keith Robinson, Joel on Lightspeed Rescue, guest starred (for a short time) as a medical student trying to become an intern. Another example of how actors on Power Rangers have gone on to do other great projects.

Lightspeed Officially ends
Saturday, November 18 was the day that Lightspeed Rescue ended. If you missed it, you should be very dissapointed. It was a great episode, and one that will be remembered in Power Rangers history. You could see the emotion and anger in Captain Mitchell even though no words were said. Though some people are relieved it is over, I and others are very dissapointed. Lightspeed Rescue was my favorite series. I certainly hope Power Rangers Time Force will live up to some of the standards Lightspeed Rescue set(great well rounded characters, acting) and will exceed some of it's low points (like one episode storylines). Fox Kids should have publicied it more; they only had commercials for it the day before it! We all now anxiously await the arrival of Time Force!
