Flash Gordon!!

[the fifth man]

^I wouldn't call the travelling a "Stargate"...it's more like "Sliders"

Yeah, the "rift" does remind me more of Sliders than Stargate.

[Briangate78]

To compare Flash Gordon to SG-1 is an insult to an amazing show that went a record 10 seasons. I'm sorry, even if it's someone's opinion I think they are totally off.

I'm sure they didn't mean to offend SG-1 in any way, shape, or form. They were simply stating that Flash had copied a concept.

[Oka]

So they cancel BSG, cancel SG-1 and they replace them with this CRAP? If we don't get another season of SGA I'm going to start a a riot outside of Sci Fi HQ.

I've watched the first two eps. Was average. Will need to improve if its going to keep my interest.

IMO, it will need to improve a lot. At this point, I don't even know if I'd consider it "average". If this episode tomorrow night isn't really something, I think I will soon be tuning out.

[Xicer]

Well Ill be missing tomorrow night's episode since I'm visiting my grandparents and they dont have cable, so tell me if anything has improved. Though I doubt very much it will.

I'm sure you'll have a much better time at your grandparents anyways. Probably be a whole lot more exciting.

[what'chu talkin bout carter]

ive watched the first 2 episodes and i really like it(i even bought the movie and enjoyed it) but i dont understand if these people hating on it hate flash gordon as a whole or just this new tv show.


also can someone who dosent like it give me a good, smart reason they dont like it because "its not like stargate" isnt a good answer,

not every show can start good like stargate or farsape some shows start slow like buffy and smallville even star trek can be a little boring at times

[LaCroix]

Well that's it for me folks. I lasted about 30 mins. for the third episode. Bad acting, storyline, and SFX.

[the fifth man]

I only caught the last half of the episode (due to a power outage), but what I saw wasn't that bad actually. It was good enough for me to hang around for another episode at least.

[Xicer]

so what happened anyway? since i missed it.

[morjana]

I started watching yesterday's episode...and fell asleep about ten minutes after it started.

The series does have an opening title sequence now, with a theme. That is so bland...

Geez.

I woke up in time though to catch the repeat of this week's episode on "Meerkat Manor." Now THAT was terrific. Sniff. Poor Mozart!

Ok got some ratings info for the 2nd episode "Pride" ....

SciFi’s “Flash Gordon” - SciFi looks like it has another loser on its hands. After the cheesy opening episode drew a respectable 2.1 million last week, nearly half the curiosity seekers left in a flash. The show only drew 1.14 million last Friday.

Source

So 1.14 million is about a HH rating of 0.8 to 1.0! That is clearly not great.
