It then hired B-List Canadian actors who wern't terrible but had no chemistry between themselves, especially Flash and Dale. At this point they ran out of money so hired minimum wage writers who had dropped out of High School (OK that last part is made up but they writting couldn't have been worse if it was true). The show spent the first 3/4 hoping between Mongo and Earth through wormholes (useing leftover effects from Sliders) that his missing father had developed, with Flash having to get home for dinner with his Mom every day (Where he still lived as a Mamas Boy). There were no spaceships as that would require a special effects budget. As for the Birdmen episode (You can't call them hawkmen as that would insult hawkmen) here is a review that sums up the bad plot: <a href="http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2007/09/flash-gordon--1.html" target="_blank">'Flash Gordon' vs. The Hawkmen - From Inside the Box - Zap2it</a>. While reading this it left out some of the worst parts. First the Birdmen live in what can best be described as the Mongo Dump (The Gravel pit mentioned above) instead of a floating city. Next all the birdmen spend the entire episode doing some sort of chicken dance (I'm not kidding) and Kawing (Yes like crows not like hawks) constantly. That episode alone ranks in the top 5 worst hours of telivision. It might be worth watching if you can stand watching half naked leather-men bouncing around and kawing for an hour. There were polls done that people ranked Galactica 1980 as a better show than this version of Flash Gordon.</blockquote>
