TV.com summary |
Flash Gordon[1] is an American science fiction television series that premiered in the United States on August 10th, 2007, at 9pm with a special 90-minute premiere episode.[2] The series began filming in Vancouver, Canada in May of 2007.[2] The show's first two episodes were written by executive producer Peter Hume.[3] In this version of the series, Flash's actual name is "Steven Gordon", with "Flash" being a nickname.
The new series, based on the comic strip of the same name and its adaptations, adds a character called Baylin (Karen Cliche), a bounty hunter from the planet Mongo. She finds herself trapped on Earth and becomes a comrade of Flash (Johnson); his former girlfriend, Dale Arden (Gina Holden); and scientist Dr. Hans Zarkov (Jody Racicot), who are able to travel back and forth through a "portal between the two worlds" instead of space ships. In a more subtle change, Ming will not be called "the Merciless" and will exhibit the traits of modern, media-savvy dictators. [4]
