Due to my general disappointment with In Space I decided to skip ahead and watch the first episode of Lightspeed Rescue.

Once again, the fact there is a focused story, established characters and a much greater quantity of American to Japanese footage should be expected but after Neo Saban, going back to Old Saban and seeing this is just kinda special.

Sadly much like In Space although everything I said is true, once again it's full of questionable storytelling and casting choices. Like if nothing else, the core concept of In Space was awesome, Lightspeed....yeah not so much.

In terms of action, there is a hilarious moment where Carter falls on a bit of "debris" in slow motion, to which we both hear and see the polystyrene scatter, why they left that in...eh. The monsters have interesting designs, but the engineering on the suits is primitive with the opening MOTW with hilariously stumpy, limited arm movement.

On the flipside, the morph is cool as all hell and I REALLY like the suits. They are still relatively simple, but not downright boring like In Space. Plus in general, everyone came across as really badass when morphed so you got that satisfying power jump you never seemed to get with In Space and it gave the fight gravitas that it was in the ruined city street in front of a crowd of onlookers.
