yeah it's fluff, but it's fun, entertaining fluff that never takes itself too
seriously. there's stupid music you love, stupid movies you love, and same for
flash gordon. for what it is, it's well done.
if you do your homework, flash gordon has been around for maybe 40-50 years in
various formats, from comics to radio serials to strange, excessive '80s movies
with crazy costumes and a wicked soundtrack by queen.

must partially agree with the last 2 - although flash gordon (not the flash)
seemed to me rather good from the start (believed in it when almost no one else
did), i'm still puzzled why the scifi mfs cancelled it, especially after seeing
a very good pilot, additionally released week or 2 ago.
would very much like to see dresden files continuing, as well as standoff -
both shows didn't get at least decent 1 season wrap ups :(:(

as some of you may know (or may not) the writer's guild of america is on strike.
i've been asked by a few people if this has affected our show and if we will
have to stop production like many other series. the answer is yes and no. our
writers who are wga members have indeed stopped writing and will not write again
for us until the strike is resolved. fortunately we only had five episodes still
to shoot when the strike began and the writers were able to finish the scripts
for them before their labour action began.
if anyone cares about the wga/not-wga status of the writers...
quote above is from jonathan lloyd walker's blog (rankol) on
blog.scifi.com/flashgordon.
so we're all a bit wrong. they *are* wga-written, but the scripts were finished
pre-strike, so there's no hack-jobbing going on. finale was filmed in december.

dresden files (which i loved, and love it for showing me the books) was
cancelled due to lack of people watching it. i don't know why flash gordon is
still on tbh.
:(:(
