Megazord Index

All Power Rangers viewers know that the hero teens team up to form a giant superhero greater than the sum of their parts - this thing is called a Megazord. Yesterday my son reunited with his pre-school friends and almost instantly these Musketeers re-formed their megazord bond and played seamlessly and joyfully for hours, just as they used to do. It made me think of the mysteries of love and friendship, and why it is that some couples, friends, and families have a high Megazord Index while others have little or none at all. I have no answers, just the idea that the strength of a relationship could be measured in these units.
