Personally, I like the lastest range of episodes. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one who tends to go for all the latest gimmicks and abondon cruelly what once was loved(when PRZ came out, I preferred good ol' Mighty Morphin for the longest time.) BUT, I'm also one who doesn't uselessly cling to the past. That's why I accept new incarnations once I figure out the theme they try to set. It happens EVERY year. Lightspeed Rescue is the primest of examples(for those of you who are loyal in the anti-PRLS campaign) Not that I'm a know-it-all(I laugh at the thought of calling myself one)but the facts are clear cut. Lightspeed Rescue was the BIGGEST adjustment for us, even bigger than PRLost Galaxy, because it set itself apart from the other incarnations more distinctively than any previous or after. In Lost Galaxy, we lost having Zordon as a leader or a fighting inspiration along with all the characters we were familiar with, but in Lightspeed Rescue we not only lost that, but every concept of PR as we knew because the powers were MANMADE and not from a mystic magic. I PRAISE Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for its courage to be different. Let's face it, PR is based on many changes...but if it's the same things that are being constantly changed(sixth Ranger, new zords, new villains, magic powers etc...) and those changes only, the show becomes repetitive to a point BEYOND redemption. Anyone notice how the popularity of Power Rangers rose tremendously last year? New McDonald's toys(13 in fact), the begining of a new line of Ranger games on quality gaming systems, the return of public announcements during the summer, a crossover that was actually promoted by Fox Kids, the LARGEST video release of PR episodes since MMPR/Power Playback(among the Operation Lightspeed video, Curse of the Cobra video, Power Rangers Triple Force, Neptune's Daughter Video- which was an exclusive at Toys R Us-and the Wrath of the Queen video, that's 16 of 40 episodes released from Lightspeed Rescue!) along with extra merchandise, Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue was one of the LARGEST incarnations until Time Force. Reading the facts, it doesn't seem lame or like a mistake to me, guys.

Oh, my vote's for the latest range of episodes!
