The Sci Fi Channel has a new show, an “update” of the sci-fi camp classic “Flash Gordon”. The show, called the same thing, stars Eric Johnson as Flash, and Gina Holden as his ex-girlfriend turned TV reporter Dale Arden. The premiere was last night, and it’s actually not bad. Mind you, it’s not entirely great, either. I’m not sure about the Mongol setting, it looks so…lame. And Ming, which they made a Caucasian guy with blond hair, probably so they won’t be accused of being racists if they kept the Asian guy from the original movie, is really not that scary. The entire show is kind of plain, and the 90-minute pilot doesn’t really do anything all that awesome. Still, it’s got Gina Holden, and she’s quite the babe.
