I've seen the first few episodes of the new SciFi channel series, "Flash Gordon". It's not the greatest thing since, er… um… whatever, but it's different and I like it. I just finished reading a whole bunch of reviews on IMDB. I really think they were written by 12-year olds with nothing better to do. Who else would spend that much time writing in-depth reviews of the pilot episode?

This is a complete rewrite using the same character names of the original from the 1930s and that's about it. Flash (Stephen) Gordon is an ordinary guy becoming something of an unsung hero. It's an interesting story and I hope it continues longer than one season. Who needs superheroes anyway?

"Flash Gordon" stars Eric Johnson, Gina Holden, Karen Cliche, Jonathan Walker and more. Here's the opening title sequence:

Sliders started out as a great show on America's FOX network but after two or three seasons, it "jumped the shark" by introducing the stupid Kromag creatures. I recently received the DVDs for season one — I never saw the complete episodes from any of the seasons because I was in the military for the first three seasons and didn't have the SciFi channel when I got out. Yes, FOX gave it over to the SciFi channel for the last few of years of its existence.

I really couldn't see how the writers could completely screw up an original concept by introducing crap into the series, but they did it. Anyway, I hope to enjoy the first two or three seasons.

Sliders stars Jerry O'Connell, John Rhys-Davies, Sabrina Lloyd, Cleavant Derricks, Kari Wuhrer, Charlie O'Connell, and Robert Floyd. Here's the season two opening sequence:

Many television series come and go, especially when the writing is horrible. Smallville, however, seems to just keep on going. Just like the energizer bunny. I, too, am hooked on the show and the characters despite the shortcomings of the series. In fact, my wife is hooked on it and she doesn't like American television for the most part.

The storyline doesn't follow the Superman comics, any Superman or Superboy series, or any of the movies, yet it's more appealing than all of the previous incarnations. Why is that?

I understand the series is supposed to end when Clark Kent becomes Superman, but that is just incredibly stupid. I can see them ending it and replacing it with the next chapter in the life of Superman, but not just ending it. Perhaps they should continue the story with new movies that don't follow the previous five movies in any way. Kind of like "Batman Begins", but for Superman, you know what I mean?

Starring Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Allison Mack, Kristin Kreuk, Annette O'Toole and more. The following video combines the music of Lifehouse (Everything) with some video clips from Smallville. Enjoy!
