*** Perhaps the warlock that sealed them chose Egypt because it was really, really far from where the demons were, it was a great place to store a tomb (everyone knows Egypt has the best tombs), and his sealing spell didn't have a limited range so it didn't matter where he set up shop. Alternatively, he was just from Egypt, or needed to go to Egypt for an essential component. And if you don't like the "unlimited range" theory, you can say the demons got wind of his plan and warped over to stop him, only to find out the spell was already prepared.

*** Of course, The Magna Defender costume looks pretty frickin's awsome no matter what series it's in (Come one! It's like Taurus-inspired version of {{Batman}}!) while Seig's costume looks kind of silly (but YourMileageMayVary). From a story standpoint it's [[RuleOfDrama just more dramatic]] to have the Lightspeed Rangers forced to fight another ranger (which is also another long-standing Power Rangers tradition) and the Seig costume simply didn't look rangery enough for the producers. OR they simply couldn't get ahold of the Seig suit for the american re-shoots nessecary to have him as a character (which would be a LOT since Seig only shows up for the movie).

**** That was because Slavin didn't agree to do Forever Red until late in the episode's production. Originally they were going to have Leo stay morphed for the whole episode and dub him in with another actor, like Aurico. Once Slavin agreed to come in, they shot extra scenes and digitally inserted him into some of the already complete scenes. The moment where he appears morphed despite already demorphing was pretty much unavoidable.

*** In Forever Red, they had errors as well. After Galaxy Red unmorphed, they showed him morphed in one of the scenes(before he morphed again). To say the least, sometimes laziness happens.(or just errors in general, etc.)

*** Demons were their first, and they worshipped Queen Bansheera(possibly), just becayse they were evil doesn't mean they're automatically the bad guys. The only reason they were chosen to be the bad guys was "Demons are apparently evil", and hey, easy choice for a set of Villains. It has nothing to do with "Holiness" whatsoever. Likewise, wouldn't you feel bad if you built on a shrine of something?

** Question, how can Demons have a holy site anyway?...They're demons which are unholy by their very nature...Anyway, the fact is the Demons were mostly genocidal maniacs that wanted to wipe out humanity and conquer the earth. They were SealedEvilInACan for a good reason.


Added DiffLines:

** Also, whale training requires a lot of skills that were useful, such as being agile enough to pull off tricks with them and being very good in the water. The base was underwater, in which case that would be quite handy. Also, the demons were weak against water, so he could probably be useful because he was actually the only one trained to work underwater by his career.

** Well, think of it this way: Yes, the city was built over the Demons' holy site, but unlike the Native Americans, they want to ''take over the world.'' If they just wanted their land back, the Rangers could probably have worked something out.

** Well, there was a GoSilver planned in GoGoV, but budget problems decided for that plan to be scapped. The Americans, however, had enough money to make one. Besides, the Sieg costume wouldn't work well due to it really not looking like any of the other Ranger costumes.

** From a more meta perspective, I get the feeling that this episode was actually conceived and written before the Lightspeed series itself and that it was handled by people who were not actually working on the show, and hence had no idea of how the series actually worked. This would explain why the crossover wound up focusing on a little girl as well, and ostensibly had no concept of the fact that secret identities weren't used in Lightspeed Rescue. However, this still doesn't excuse the inescapable fact that Lightspeed Rescue exists in the same continuity as Countdown To Destruction, when Earth was freaking invaded by monsters, even if the show itself likes to pretend that the series really is stand alone.
