Hello World!

Readers of our sister site, TrekToday will of course, know that in our site columns we include a few headlines from the site from 2 years ago. A sort of 'Blast from the Trek Past' if you will.

Around this time two years ago, we were watching with interest as details of a brand new show developed by former Deep Space Nine scribe Robert Hewitt Wolfe began to emerge. The series was known as 'Phoenix Rising' and was apparently based on the notes left by Star Trek creator Gene Roddeberry. Sound familiar?

Around this time - only two years ago (the past is the future, the future is the past, it all gives me a headache, ok?) - rumours indicated that the show in development had received a name change. Phoenix Rising became Andromeda, and was expected to hit screens in a years time. (Only a year ago. Confused yet?)

Those interested in a bit of Andromeda history should gravitate over to this article from Aint it Cool News. It includes a nice extensive summary for those who have no clue about this rather amazing-sounding series and a little discussion feature at the bottom, so you can see what people were saying about the series at the time.
