Linear Ranger's Power Rangers Operation Overdrive Site


Mack has again gotten to far into his adventure novel, thus leading to his spill out of the hammock. He tells Spencer how he wishes he could be with his father on the search for the Corona Aurora.	Meanwhile, far across the Earth, Mr. Hartford has finally managed to find the Corona Aurora.

But in doing so, Andrew Hartford has awoken Flurious. . .	and Moltor from this slumber on their planets.

The Guardian of the Crown appears to Hartford and explains to him about the evils that will come to Earth, and what must be done to protect the crown.	Six months later, the recruitment begins with Dax, a professional stuntman in Hollywood.

Next is Ronny, who just won her race car championship at the Italian Grand Prix.	Onto Brazil where, instead of recovering stolen diamonds for a museum, Will finds his message from Mr. Hartford.

Finally, at a university in London, Rose discovers her invite after solving a robot problem her professor caused.	The selected four meet at Andrew Hartford's mansion, though none of them know exactly why they've been called there.

Mr. Hartford arrives, but before he can begin his "meeting", he has to get Mack out of the room.	Andrew then begins explaining about Flurious & Moltor coming to Earth, and the Crown of the Gods. Though Rose knows the story of the Crown too, and tells the first part of the tail.

Hartford continues to explain how the Guardian of the Crown took the five Jewels and spread them across the, then uninhabited, planet Earth.	He shows the four the Crown in hopes of convincing them that his story is true. Andrew tells them that he has selected each of them, because of their skills, to become Power Rangers.

As the four are about to leave Mr. Hartford empty handed, the Guardian appears once more. He tells them that all of the story is true and that they are the world's only hope.	Meanwhile, Flurious and is forces move into a Snow Cave, which is inhabited by Norg.

In Moltor's Lava Pit, his viewing lava shows him Hartford's Mansion. So he sends his Lava Lizards to attack and get the crown.	Back deep below the mansion, Andrew and Spencer are finishing the Genetic Re-sequencing, and showing the team around.

Before Andrew can have his DNA remixed, Mack finds the base and begins asking questions.	While Mr. Hartford explains things to Mack, the others take a walk on the grounds and their genetic powers start to kick in, just as the Lava Lizards arrive.

Mack is still trying to convince his dad to let him be a Ranger. Then Spencer alerts them to the trouble outside.	To get away from the Lava Lizards, everyone boards the Civilian Vehicles and makes tracks.

But before they can get to far, they run into a road block of Chillers.	After giving Will, Dax, Ronny and Rose their Morphers, it's time to Ranger Up. They battle the Chillers, but back at the truck. . .

The Lava Lizards capture Mr. Hartford before the can Morph, and in the process, cause him to drop his Overdrive Tracker.	Mack jumps into action. He takes the Overdrive Tracker and morphs into the Red Ranger.

All five Rangers bust out their Drive Weapons and make quick work of the henchmen.	The Rangers arrive just in time to keep Mr. Hartford safe from Moltor.

But the Lava Lizards were successful in capturing the Crown out of the Truck.	To make sure the Rangers don't follow after him, Moltor causes lava to flow into the city. Thus leaving the Rangers with the decision of saving the Crown or the citizens to the city.

You know, I really did enjoy Part I. I like all the characters. Mack actually wanting to be a Ranger is a good change over the "newbie" Red Ranger storyline. It's great how we get unique personality and story to each Ranger. The story of the Crown, Flurious and Moltor, and the Guardian are great original pieces to the puzzle. Great looking morphing sequence. I really enjoyed the original story for this episode, and that it didn't rely heavily on Boukenger.

Granted their were a few very tiny slips in acting, but nothing bad really. Though I do wish there had been more to Flurious moving into the Snow Cave and Norg meeting him and the chillers. I do hope that in the future, we will get full length morph scenes for all the Rangers.
