Episode Guide / Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue / From Deep in the Shadows
From Deep in the Shadows
Airdate: 04/22/00
Carter tests out Ms. Fairweather's latest
gizmo - the Titanium Morpher, which is capable of
granting stronger Ranger powers. Carter is unable to
sustain the transformation, and the powers painfully fade
away.
After Capt. Mitchell locks away the
Titanium Morpher, Dana enters with a birthday cake. They
fondly remember Ryan - the Captain's son, and Dana's
brother. Had he still been alive, he would have turned
20.
Late that night, a shadowy figure scuba
dives his way into the Aquabase. He sneaks into the
Captain's quarters, and steals the Titanium Morpher.
The next morning, Vypra makes trouble in
Mariner Bay to lure the Power Rangers out. She seems to
have something in store for them.
As planned, the Rangers appear. Before
they can defeat her, a figure emerges from a rift over
the Rangers.
It is the Titanium Ranger! Someone has
stolen the morpher, and harnessed the Titanium powers for
evil!
The Titanium Ranger battles the Rangers,
and overpowers them in both firepower and hand to hand
combat.
When even the Rescuebird proves
ineffective against this new foe, the Rangers are forced
to retreat.
After a meeting at the Aquabase, the
Rangers head back to the city, on the lookout for the
inevitable return of the Titanium Ranger.
They spot a flash of light, and follow
it, putting them once again in battle with the Titanium
Ranger, and once again receiving a beating.
Ms. Fairweather brings out some new
weapons - the V-Lancers. She radios Carter to summon
them.
The V-Lancers activate, and the Rangers
stand in awe of these amazing new battle lances.
The V-Lancers even up the score, and the
Rangers put the smack down on the Titanium Ranger.
They switch the lancers to blaster mode,
and open fire at our Titanium friend, knocking him out
cold.
He recovers from the blast and pulls
himself up, revealing a cold stare from behind the visor.
Barely able to walk, he picks his
Titanium laser up and stumbles towards the Rangers.
The Rangers power up and take aim to
finish him off. At the last second, Captain Mitchell
radios in and orders the Rangers to stand down, leaving a
defeated Titanium Ranger still thirsting for battle.
Back at the Aquabase, the team demands to
know why they were ordered to cease fire when they had a
chance to destroy the Titanium Ranger. Captain Mitchell
reveals a startling secret - Titanium Ranger is his son!
Comments:
It's about time they had a new, evil Ranger. Last
time we got one it was the Green Ranger from
MMPR. Better yet, he doesn't seem to be under a
spell, he is just out for vengeance.
Diabolico is a tall dude - he towered over
Titanium Ranger when they spoke.
For the curious, Titanium Ranger is a completely
American character, he was not imported from the
Japanese series as all other previous Rangers had
been.
Let's see how they explain how Ryan was able to
circumvent the side effects of the Titanium
powers.
I can't beleive Ryan was able to sneak into the
Aquabase so easily. No guards, no cameras, no
alarms, nothing.
