I loved the Fimation cartoon, the movie, and the show "Defenders of the Earth." I'm sorry to say, this show sucked. (I mean WTF with the portal? they should have called this show "Flash Gordon SG-1")
I have never seen this show before, but I have seen the serials as well as the 1980 movie. This show does not look like it follows either one and might just be trying to cash in on the name only.
I have seen this show. this looks sort of like a cheap attempt at how to make flash gordon the smallville way. the actors really arent winning any oscars with their preformances. I mean honestly. I know that this show isnt worth a 100% performance effort but if you are getting so close to be outdone by fan film actors it's time to step up your game. This show is just a bad idea.
There is a certain appeal to the placing of the real world and a garish comic book universe side by side and letting them interact. The problem is, this has already been done much better with the long running, successful Stargate series and its many spinoffs. Otherwise this series might have been on to something, but in light of better shows of the past it merely looked derivative and unoriginal. And cheap.
I didn't like the intro and the theme. And based in all your posts, I don't want to watch any episode. Like the new Knight Rider, is a piece of shit, advertisement for sale Ford mustang and F-truck series.
They should have made a show that was a cross between the Flash Gordon Movie (1980) and the cartoon series. They could have borrowed from both for good ideas.
The 1990's Flash Gordon cartoon is way better than this garbage, I mean everyone is human where in the cartoon Ming is a half-lizard half-dragon creature not human.
@KitlerAdolf a series with predecesors let alone a history should be followed to an extent, i never knew this series had so much hated back lash from it, i watched it and enjoyed it, i did not go in to it with preconceptions of what reincarnations flash gorden was before i thought aura and balon were very good, ming could of been more menacing but the idea may of been we have this clean cut actor ralston from canada i believe how could someone who looks normal be so evil i like ming
Although campy, the Max Von Sydow movie from the eighties utterly pwns this garbage with a vengeance. I can't believe how badly you've messed up the Flash Gordon universe with this thing.
We already have Stargate- we didn't need another. Get rid of the dumb stargate thing already! No, no, no, no, no no no no no no no NO no.
Sci-Fi channel, go back to your horror flicks and wrestling like you're used to.
What a load of garbage. I don't care if it makes me sound old, even though I'm still in my twenties, but movies and television these days - with rare exceptions - are positively uninspired pieces of fast-moving, glittery crap.
"What a load of garbage. I don't care if it makes me sound old, even though I'm still in my twenties, but movies and television these days - with rare exceptions - are positively uninspired pieces of fast-moving, glittery crap."
Couldn't agree more. I find myself listening to old music, borrowing old TV shows on DVD from the library, and getting in to Turner Classic Movies for new movies to watch. A lot of bad tv, movies, and god ... the music industry is a joke.
I'm in my twenties as well and I have to agree with you, I find that there's nothing but media-filled garbage nowadays. Heck when we were kids there were a lot of good tv shows, movies, and music.
this is garbage,atleast it perhaps got the 1980 film released on dvd again,i couldn't find it for years...all jokes aside words can't describe how souless this is...
Ok kill me for saying this but i love this show it is the bomb and it rocks and i think the opening is cool, although i do agree they should have used Queen
"and flash gordon was there in silver underwear..." he was and is a cocksucking space pussy!! Sorry for the harsh words, but the whole FG universe is a gay universe (in an absolutely ridiculous kind of way!!)
After season one BSG was no BSG...and nothing Sci-Fi comes up with will ever be as good as Farscape or SG-1...so I guess...Flash Gordan, why not. At least we won't miss it so much when Sci-Fi inevitably pulls the plug for no reason.
Intro is good, but the show has a lot to learn. The only shows from the Scifi Channel that are good are the Stargates, Battlestar Galactica and Eureka.
the old one is...old ! It's not battlestar but battlestar is not farscape :p :p Hope FG develop a lot of mythology and characters. Flash Gordon look good and can be good. By the way, I like this intro, and the music.I'm tired to listen all those "Fash Gordon must be Queen". Queen +new version didn't match! By more creative folks !
This show was cool...
