Maybe people just don't like the acting in OO. I believe OO was a lot the casts first big role, where as Casey and RJ from JF had already acquired some experience in much bigger roles( A prime time soap for Casey, and RJ studied acting in college, and was regular guest star in What I like about you). You can write gold, but if the acting and directing isn't at that level it is still going to turn out bad.

In OO's defense the idea of having the red ranger actually being an android is an awesome idea imo. I think that idea for a character makes Operation Overdrive's red ranger one of the most human(no pun intended.... ok thats a lie but still true), and relatable in all of power rangers and sentai history. Of course they took far too long to bring it up, but what ever. I also can totally see how Operation Overdrive could be seen as the writing staff trying to figure out a darker take on power rangers that ultimately led to RPM.

Seems like maybe a lot of older fans were hoping that operation over drive would end up being a lot better than it ever could have been since it was the 15th season of the show, and especially since the season before was far from the best as well.
