So is anyone else as disappointed in Flash Gordon as I am?

OK, I have given it weeks, and weeks and weeks. I was SO excited that Flash Gordon was going to get the Sci-Fi Channel treatment. But talk about a miserable disappointment... not enough ray guns, WAY too much angst. And NO spaceships? NONE? Going to Mongo appears to be about as difficult as hopping the subway (and about as interesting) and although according to the completely gutted and silly character Zarkov too much travel "could shatter the Universe"... well... they do it a LOT.

I gave up when Flash, Dale and Belen were sitting around a table at his friend's wedding, talking about "meaningful things" while the angst-y teen music played in the background. Don't get me wrong I LIKE Belen, but honestly, I can see her with Flash more easily than Dale. Which is a real problem.

And Zarkov - he was supposed to be basically an "older" Flash. Smart, athletic, handsome. This guy.. I mean I actively DISLIKE him. I find myself ROOTING for Ming - now that just isn't right. And the whole show is scene after scene of talk, talk , talk. I mean, good grief, Sci Fi canceled Dresden Files but promotes THIS schlock? Talk about a let down.

I guess it's time to pin my hopes on Bionic Woman.
