It definitely never got the sort of heavy syndication that other 80s genre shows did. Not sure if that is a result of the relatively few number of episodes, sticky rights issues or a lack of interest.Tony Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127116586453811407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-80020655305311749422014-09-08T09:14:27.288-07:002014-09-08T09:14:27.288-07:00It's surprising that, even Stateside, I don...It's surprising that, even Stateside, I don't recall Captain Power getting much or any rerun syndication after its one initial play. I wonder if it was a similar situation where you are, that if it ran, it was just that one brief blip.NoelCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744014386233716741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-60915320350549797132014-09-08T03:12:53.292-07:002014-09-08T03:12:53.292-07:00+JMJ+

In general, Philippine networks in the 80s didn't syndicate anything that didn't also have toys being marketed in the country. Which is another sort of 80s thing, I guess. =P Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088555461299761566.post-39700567317520373982014-09-03T08:13:41.268-07:002014-09-03T08:13:41.268-07:00Ditto that thanks, RG.

It's a typical dynamic, but not badly played.

I'll be curious to see if it begins to change as the season progresses and Captain Power and Co. (presumably) begin to pile up victories.<br /><br />Neither of us touched on the hint of a crush that Pilot has on Power. It's underplayed, but when Power begins to recount his past with Athena, Pilot asks "Just friends?". It sails right over Power's well-coifed hair, but it's pretty clear they're going there at some point *sigh*. Tony Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03127116586453811407noreply@blogger.com
