Well a typical night in Flash land little action and a little silly. This time centering around Zarkov being taken to Mongo to perfect rift technology. Baylen discovers chocolate with comic results and gets tough with a fellow bounty hunter and she ends up dead for failing the floating freak. Dale and Flash had a ridiculous segment in which they were shot up with truth serum but thankfully the g-man who held them ended up stranded in Mongo. If you relax lower your expectations this mental junk food is quite passable to get you through to the rest of great Friday programming.moreless

"Perfect"

By sfviewer, Oct 23, 2007

rankol sends a bounty hunter to earth to find zarkov. it doesn't take her long to find him. rankol tells zarkov that working with him is good for the universe. But Baylin suspects that rankol is just fooling him so she goes after him to mongo. meanwhile, back on earth flash and dale are dealing with a teenager who accidentally filmed a bounty hunter crossing a rift. dale competes with another tabloid news reporter who uses her glamor to spin any silly story into a ratings bonanza. it's a hilarious episode, the story is good, i love to see more flash gordon.moreless

"Good"

By expatriot, Oct 22, 2007

Hmm, not as good as the previous episodes, but the competition between the two tv stations and its two presenters made it quite funny. The witness of the rift falling for Flash' trick though was pretty weak.

I can partly understand why Zarkov is tempted. On earth no one respects him, he's got no money and has to make do with old equipment. On the other hand, Rankol offers him a position of respect. Still, he should have rememebered that Dr Gordon disappeared after working with Rankol. In my mind that makes it difficult to trust Rankol.

The alien hunter and the truth serum and subsequent discussion between Flash and Dale was funny too.

It's becoming more and more a comedymoreless

The truth serum given to Dale and Flash made the episode silly. The fight sequence was weak.

6.0

"Fair"

By limbodrive, Oct 20, 2007

I haven't watched the past few episodes, because I have been watching other things on tv that grab me more. I wanted to see this one to see what I have been missing. I thought the dialog between Flash and Dale was short of stupid. I thought the fight scenes on this one were weak. I noticed they edited the fighting so we saw just enough to get the point. I rated somewhat high for what is being mentioned, because I think this is following the feel from the 80's movie which I liked at the time. The acting was decent. I still enjoy the look of the show overall.moreless
