"Captain Power" to return as "Phoenix Rising"

[doubleohfive]

No one "came close to saving Enterprise;" both the studio and the network knew that season four was the final year when it was renewed. The ratings continued to decline, and just because some trekkies liked the fourth year better doesn't mean that there was ever any real hope.

Factually inaccurate.

Not only did various production people continue to have hopes of a S5 pickup, by their own statements made at the time, they were in active pre-development for S5 including breaking the major "history" points they wanted to include (first starbase, etc) as well as active story development on some "special" eps (the Kzinti story).

You're out of your element, Donny. Every TV show plans ahead for next season, regardless if they know they're cancelled or not.
It isn't at all unusual that the seeds of future stories might already be on the minds of the writers before season four wrapped.

Lastly, I spent just under a year working with three of the writers from Enterprise on a former job. On the occasions that the subject of Star Trek came up (because that's what they always called it when discussing it), the writing, as it were, was very clearly on the wall and they knew it.

JG Reeves Stevens posted some sneaky, unclear images from the concept art for the series!

This was epic when I was a kid! I loved this show. Just ordered the dvd. I had no clue it had been released and was spending off-hours here and there tracking down the series on the original VHS (super difficult and expensive even with the interwebs). Shooting the TV with my Phantom Stryker (stolen by Captain Power, natch) was so much fun. I wore out several of the anime-like Mission videos I used them so much over the years. I'm very glad someone is attempting a resurrection at last.

Jessica Steen rocking the metal chest and with those crazy eyes of hers PLUS Ah-nold's trainer/go to henchman from Conan and so many other flicks with the Aliens-esque Smart Gun! Ah, to be a kid again.

I wonder if my Stryker can still register hits on the DVD version...

I'm guessing the big, evil looking fellow in the lower pictures (of the two pictures in the far end of that room) is supposed to be Blaster? It reminds me of him.

So what was the point of shooting the toy guns at the TV? It's not like it changed the outcome of the show.

For the new show, they should simply release a VR game version for Occulus Rift. Make it a killer app!
