Yeaaah SciFi frakked us all over with their Flash Gordon reboot, but the that doesn’t mean there aren’t any Flash Gordon fans out there? Or are there?
Apparently there is a glut of Flash Gordon toys, so this if you’re interested you can now get your very own Alex Ross Flash Gordon for only $5 Order Alex Ross Flash Gordon (White T-Shirt) 7-Inch Action Figure
Beyond Flash himself there are also a few other characters that you can pick up to create a semi-complete collection.

That’s a wrap.
When we first heard about Flash Gordon being brought to SciFi Channel, admittedly we were somewhat enthusiastic.
We blogged about the buildup to the show, who would play what, and what the show would focus on.
You know the regular pre-show hype.
A year ago — April of 2007 we blogged that the show’s principal star wasn’t a SciFi fan himself — and it showed throughout his flawed acting in the show.
The first episode of Flash Gordon was disgusting. It might have got marginally better by the fourth episode but that’s really not saying much.
The acting was pathetic, the plots weak and the overall drama was non-existent.
We’ve called for Flash Gordon to be canceled before — and now that the day has finally come, we’re obviously not surprised. The final episode aired barely a month ago.
HOW could SciFi have ever let that show go into production which such crappy scripts? Sure Flash Gordon is a campy construct, but hey so was Battlestar Galactica and look what Ron Moore was able to do with that.
Flash Gordon was flawed from the start. If you’re going to make SciFi work you need to have writers/producers and actors that are fans, that are committed to doing something innovative and that respond to criticism. Flash Gordon failed on all accounts and now its gone. It didn’t have to be this way and someone high up at NBC Universal should really law down the lay to make sure this type of travesty doesn’t happen again.

WHAT an aweful krifing show…and finally its first dismal season is coming to an end.
Of course we’re talking about Flash Gordon – easily the worst show on SciFi today and of one of the worst SciFi insults ever.
In the beginning we were very optimistic about this show, but it sucked early on and has continues to suck ever since never really improving at all.
Let’s hope that there won’t be a season 2 for Flash Gordon…

I’ve seen some chatter in blogosphere the last week or so, that apparently SciFi network is planning on improving Flash Gordon for the second half of the season.
Why bother?
The producers have so totally screwed up the concept that it’s beyond repair, the acting remains relatively weak and unbelievable and the plot – well there is none that any rational adult would find even moderatly interesting.
SciFi just plain and simple missed the mark totally with this show. It’s time to put it out of it misery and refocus on something else….like Firefly!!! can you imagine what Joss Whedon would have done?
