The Phoenix

Does anyone remember this early 1980's classic? In Mexico a tomb is found with mentionings of Osiris. There is a sarcophagus that can not be opened on the site so it is sent to the US in cooperation. Once it is open arises a man, the son of the gods, Bennu. He has this really big medallion and psychic powers. Bennu has been awaken 100 years too early and is uncertain as to his mission in this world but he does not want to be controlled by either the US or Mexican governments so he has to go on the run to do good.

I have been watching The Powers of Matthew Starr by means I shall not discuss further and was shocked to see the lead of the Phoenix in it as an alien hunting young Matthew. He also appeared in some X-Files episodes as a man with strange powers hunting down those that killed his daughter in a Kevorkian manner, apparently she would have healed herself in time. The actor's name is Judson Earny Scott and he seems alienish. He has also appeared in Charmed, Brisco County Jr, Star Trek Voyager, Babylon 5, and was Lawrence of Aravia in Voyagers, a true cult hero guest star. The Phoenix was my favorite show when I was 2 and I remembered all of these years, it only lasted 5 episodes and it was when I first realized tv shows I like do not always survive and I vowed never to forget it or some others. Luckily I have been able to view this again and it makes no sense to me that it was canceled, I still hold out hope for its return and legit DVD release.
