Three episodes is enough for me. I wasn't expecting much, so I wasn't exactly disappointed, but I feel no need to waste any more time on it. I'm generally such an optimistic lad, too.

Well, here's some good news. I read over on the Sci-Fi Channel forums (where, btw, the vast majority seem to hate the show, too) that the ratings haven't been very good. The pilot scored 2.1 million viewers and a 1.5 rating. Week two only pulled in 1.4 million people. I'm not sure what that translates into in ratings, but posters have said it's between .9 and .7. Week three...well, no one knows. Someone posted Sci-Fi's ratings and they cut off at .5 with no sign of Flash, so it had to have scored less than that.
Flash looks to be losing half it's viewers per week. After how terrible the last episode was, I'm sure there won't be as many back next week. Sci-Fi may continuing airing the episodes they have, but it sure doesn't look like we'll be suffering through a season two.

If things keep going they way they are we may not have to watch beyond the Atlantis premire in a few weeks. It doesn't matter if they ordered a full season, if the ratings are bad enough they lose less money by pulling it than by airing it.

Next week's TV Guide has a couple of letters bashing the show. I wonder how it ever got on the air in the first place, as just about everyone who's seen it has been underwhelmed by it? I once read that the reason Alex Raymond invented the strip was because he wanted to take advantage of the new, brighter, colored inks that had become available to newspaper Sunday comics sections. Too bad no one involved with the show ever seems to have heard about that, it might have given them a clue as to what the show should have been about.

I really wanted to like the show. Even with the rather bad premise. I like Flash (he's a bit of a wimp, though), Dale is really cute, as is that bounty hunter lady. But everything else is just really really bad.
Just saw the most-recent ep last night.
On the plus side, it's the best episode so far this season.
On the minus side, it's a really, really low bar.
On the OMG that was awful side, preview for next week: "Hawkmen" in tattered cloaks jumping off buildings?
I'm done. *goes to find something else to watch*

When I saw the "hawkman" flap his cape and yell, "Caw!", I remembered something Bruce Timm said way back when the Batman cartoon first began. He was asked about which characters will and won't appear on the show. When asked about Killer Moth, he said, "The only way we'll use him is if we can get Dan Akroyd to do the voice and have him running around screaming, 'Aaah! I'm a bug! I'm a bug!'" I never thought I'd see the day someone would actually do that. 
Flash Gordon depresses me. I've never seen a science fiction series funded by the change someone found between the cushions of their couch. I normally don't wish bad things on people, but I hope someone got fired for greenlighting this mess.

I think that people went in with rather high expectations, i stopped doing that many years ago ;-)
I find Flash Gordon entertaining, it has it's place right after Painkiller on saturday morings, right after i wake up early. There are a lot of shows i wouldn't call 'good', but if i only watched shows i would consider good, i would be watching very little TV (I already watch relatively little). As long as i find it entertaining i'll watch it.

And that's why the creators deserve a sound thwacking. They took a beloved sci-fi property and turned out an extremely dull production. I'm sorry, but I find there's no excuse to turn in a lame scifi tv show in the wake of such quality programs such as Farscape, Battlestar Galactica and Doctor Who (it doesn't help that Flash comes out right after the good Doctor. The disparity between the two shows becomes painfully apparent in terms of quality).Cergorach said:
