Wow... Flash Gordon!

I can't believe it! SciFi has managed to condense one of their awful scifi flicks into a TV show now. I'm sorry, but I tried it, truly I did. It's had a few snarky lines of dialogue, but the flat delivery, boringness that extends into a black vacuum of space, can't save it. I should really drag myself out the room and turn off the tube, well, reverse the order, and spare myself the misery that is a much-ballyhooed Skiffy show, but well, there might be an SGA ad. I know. Pitiful. Wait, wait. I can set the DVR and leave and check tomorrow. Yeah, I'll try to last till 10pm so I can say I saw all of it (or is 90 minutes? no, say it aint' so!)

The only bad thing is that this show is the lead-in to season 4 of Stargate Atlantis. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!  I'd rather watch CNN than Flash Gordon. Really. I see myself watching Doctor Who, then checking out CBS' vampire show at 9pm, then going back to SGA at 10pm, although will I miss any ads? Although, is it worth the pain? Usually the first show/pilot is really good. In this case, it's not. 

I chose the Teyla icon cuz that's what I should be doing, yes, covering my eyes...

I watched the whole thing, sort of hoping for something to happen, like the guy playing Flash to show a personality, but nope. Nada. With the exception of the part when they first land on Mongo (the "just keep smiling") he was about as colorful as a beige carpet. I guess I was hoping for a Flash more like the Comic Book character than the Movie character, but no.

About the only thing that kept me interested for the first fifteen minutes was trying to figure out where I'd seen the dad before. And then I remembered--it's the captain of the Aurora! Which I'm sure everyone knew but me. Heh. He looks good (looks fitter!). Lovely eyes that man.

Ooh, that's stinging. Colorful as a beige carpet, but, alas, you hit the nail on the head. So that's why Flash's dad looked familiar!

But the SGA ad was nice. Yes, if I'm asked about Flash, I can say the SGA ad was nice ;)
