like all the hater and i to think flash gordon be pretty bad in the beginning . the hawkmen episode just about lose me and but i have a high tolerance for cheese . then something unexpected happen the show get well . the writer figure out who the character be and come up with some plot line that be actually interesting . now the character be fun to watch and i be genuinely interested in how the story progress . they have strike the right balance between humor and camp and and drama a to be reminiscent of early season of sg 1. flash gordon have move from a show i watch because nothing else be on to a show i look forward to every week . what a difference a few episode can make ( specifically the til death episode ) . if you haven not see it since the first few episode and take a look at it now . i hope this one get a second season .
