    Well, I know there aren't many of us out here that both remember and love this show enough to have an opinion, but having just rewatched the entire run of the show, I definitely do! What's yours?

    Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future was one of those shows that just reached through the screen and grabbed you. hide « show »

    I remember the first time I did (NOT) see the show. I flipped onto the station while they were running the credits. A long twisting and turning flight down a corridor, much like Luke Skywalker heading for the vent on the Deathstar.

    The next week I had to be home to WATCH the show. I was captivated by the concept, even as a child to have a world where humans were taken over by machines, digitized and removed from the Earth.

    Also, the relationship between Pilot and the Captain drew me into the show. Their unacknowledged attraction for each other was played perfectly and the writer that penned the last two episodes should be awarded for the amazing job they did.

    Armed to the teeth future soldiers hide « show »

    *sniff* *sniff* This shows brings back some memories from my childhood. I remember this show as being something i could'tn miss and as a show me and my friends would discuss in the classroom everytime a new episode was on. This show was so different specialy in the way it was created, the ambience is very dark and you really feel the impression of being somewhere in the near future. The reasn why all we watched the show as for the battles, this show was all about firing lasers at the bad guys. I love the guns in this show.

    i remember watching this show when i was younger. i thought it was a really cool show. i do not remember if it came on wgn or tbs. i remember watching it on sunday mornings. to be honest until i saw it listed here on tv.com i had forgotten about it. if i remember right it had a profitable action figure line as well.

    Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is really A-MA-ZING! If everything on television these days are as good as Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, I don't think I'll ever remove myself from the television set. hide « show »

    Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is really A-MA-ZING! If everything on television these days are as good as Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, I don't think I'll ever remove myself from the television set. Whoever came up with the idea behind Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is a genius!I am very interested to see this movie again and again.

    I would love to see this show back on TV. It was a good idea and the storylines were actually quite good. Also, I miss playing along with the TV.... I used to have the ship one to play along with the screen. hide « show »

    I loved this show when I was a kid. it's been off the air for 19 years now... it's time to get it back on the air!

    I even remember being scared by some of the bad guys ... especially the metal bird ones who would swoop down and digitize people. When you're 6 and 7 years old, those things are damn scary!

    :)
