I love that all the seasons are on YouTube. Anyway.
1) this episode actually makes me ship Leelee and Vida, with a hilarious extra layer for Necrolai and Vida. It very much felt like Necrolai went “honey pick whichever ranger you want and we’ll turn them into a vampire so you can date them forever” so she tries to pick Nick, then Xander then Vida comes with because it’s a dj. And then Necrolai decides to steal her daughter’s new girlfriend for herself. Reverse Stacy’s mom situation. The mental image I keep getting makes me bust out laughing every time. No wonder LeeLee’s Like That. Her mom keeps stealing her partners! Pft. Anyway
2. Given it’s hinted DJ Fly is a vampire himself, it does maybe hint what i noticed with the vampires of power rangers was at least a little on purpose. Males when monster form have insect and bat motifs, with fly, moth, butterfly and mosquito motifs in their designs mixed with the bat shaped wings somewhere on their bodies. And the female vampires are very elegant vampires with some small nods to moths, speficially usually hawk moths.
3. It leads to the very good question who bit/put a spell on Vida initially. Necrolai or DJ Fly. Even if Fly did, it was probably under orders of Necrolai and doesn’t really matter in grand scheme of plot but it does make me wonder.
#it also makes me very tempted for my vampire Iva Song#to be DJ Fly’s son#unused vampire character who’s literally just a plot device and set up#and as far as names go it’s not like it’s any less subtle than any power ranger villain names#I just also deeply get the sense Vida is being actively fought over by a mother and daughter and that’s so funny to me#dark but funny#honestly you gotta give LeeLee credit#when she finally stands up to her mama Necrolai is forced to see sense#she was a shit parent who went way out of bounds on many many fronts#and then managed to make it up to her daughter in a big way
