Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

They were more interesting in having highly trained personal. Its just too bad there characters were mostly underwhelming. You have to give it to them for being the first Ranger team to formally train like soldiers.

Once they joined Lightspeed they were no longer civilians. Mitchell had them trained boot camp style and help them to the same standards he expected from Officers.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

Mitchell spent a lot of time researching their potential and did comprehensively train them. I think it had to do with who could physically handle the powers. A more extreme example of this is the Titanium Powers, which only Ryan could handle.

I suppose you could say its whack when any mentor recruits civilians. Zordon choosing teenagers is even more crazy than Lightspeed going with civilians.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

Especially in real life where its hard to get teenagers to do anything.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

Zordon chose teenagers because they are easier to manipulate and can be easy replaced if they are no longer convenient.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

But the MMPR teens were special, thats why Zordon used them. Well except for Kat, but even Zordon isn't perfect.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

Hard to believe he would be so niave to allow an evil Ranger to be on the team. I mean at least with Kim she is such a good person you could see how she believed Kat"s lies. But Zordon would be much more experienced and wise.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

Kat was.very special. too She wasn't evil , she was free of Rita's spell. Kim was wise to recruit her since she was a Great Ranger.

Re: Why did Lightspeed Recruit Civilians
 

I like all the Power Rangers. Kimberly was better but Kat wasn't evil.
