    Apparently this is suppose to be coming to SyFy in 2010. I don't know what to think but it does look kinda cool.

    honestly it looks almost as lame as M.A.N.T.I.S. but personally I would have liked to see Ryan Carnes in skin-tight purple spandex

    I thought it was pretty good for a "syfy" show. I never got into their other shows like Eureka or anything else, but this one seemed to have a good quality to it.

    I do wonder where they're going to take it from here though, the ending kindof cut off a few things they could've expanded on, and it seems like if it didn't get good views it'd be easy to end the series immediately.

    I thought the first episode/part was pretty shitty. It was literally like 2 hours of background information, which they then managed to summarizes into relevant parts with the "Previously on The Phantom" and just cheesy "understanding the power" type things that are in every comic movie. Once they got into the second part, it started to get better though.

    I thought it was decent, watchable, nothing spectacular though. To me, it had awkward moments, unbelievable parts, predictable stupid twist I could've done without. I'll still watch though, due to the lack of stuff out.

    Yeah, not a great show, but summer line up has been pretty bad so far.
