My overall thoughts on Lightspeed Rescue: Personally, I thought it was a
good series. Most people complain of how it was the worst series ever, but
it was great in its own unique way. I think it portrayed the whole "fighting
against demonic creatures from hell" scenario quite well. It goes along with
shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Seven, and what are some of those
others shows I never watch?. Of course I think they could've done better
with the storyline and the special effects in the finalle. I was thinking
more of the city of Mariner Bay being in darkness as Batlings haunt people's
souls as the Shadoworld opens. Instead of the weak opening of the tomb and
normal city. I guess we can't expect too much from a kids show however, but
I think with Time Force the show's morale is increasing from the kids show
stereotype, but it has a long way to go. I just hope Disney doesn't do
anything to ruin this. Obviously, I didn't give this Lightspeed Rescue site
the attention I did to Time Force, but this show has been over for a year
now and I just wanted to get it done. I know I could've done better, but I
hope you're glad it's finished. I know I am. So I am off to enjoy dinner
and I will still be working on my Wild Force site. So stay in touch!! ~Matt~LIGHTSPEED RESCUE!
