I just finished watching the first episode of this and actually quite enjoyed it. It wasn't over done, the pace was just right to keep you hooked and the effects weren't too bad. I will definitely be watching some more when they come out.

Hmmm.

I don't make a habit of downloading stuff, but I got hold of part 1 of this just to sample it. I wasn't blown away, I have to say. Some of the plot turns were a little too convenient, Flash lacked in the charisma department and none of the bad guys were anywhere near evil enough. As for Ming ... man, how ineffectual. I was actually refusing to believe it was him until he introduced himself by name to Flash. I thought he was some kind of mid-ranking government official. And yet they carried over the whole idea of him having a hareem from the film (possibly it was in the original b/w serial as well, I don't know). It just didn't fit.

The stories may improve as the series progresses, but I fear they may be too far off-beam with so many of the fundamentals for this ever to be a successful remake.

BSG it aint.

I have conflicting feelings over Flash Gordon.

I loved the movie, but my brother insulted me for years after seeing the film with taunts of "Chinese Ming Face".

For the record, I am not Chinese or bald. And I don't have any facial hair either.

Perhaps he thought you were a invaluable and beautiful work of art....

Flash Gordon without the Queen soundtrack.....it's just not right, a bit like eating dry cornflakes.

Brian May for Prime Minister I say.

Although I think Brian Blessed deserves a mention as well....DDIIIIIEEEEE!

Don't you mean "Doctor Brian May for Prime Minister"?

Not sure, I know he's handed his thesis in, but has it been passed off yet?
