| Re: Eric Johnson is Flash Gordon
Well, after seeing the first episode on SciFi last night, you have to color me singularly unimpressed. And this is not simply the rant of someone who refuses to accept anyone but Buster Crabbe in the role... it was just dry as toast, and about as tasteless.
Although updating the story to present a "rift" in space between Earth and Mongo was interesting, the rest is predictable and lame. The dialog was unfortunately wooden, making it hard to tell whether anyone in the production can act at all.
Even the unfortunate similarities between my name and his did not help my mood. (And I also used the nickname "Flash"--briefly-- in college! Another story. You won't hear it.)
After a particularly bad Dr. Who, it made for a lousy night for sci fi. |
