This Friday's season final of Flash Gordon (8 p.m. on Sci Fi) offers an opportunity to reflect on improvements to what was the most laughable show of the 2007-2008 season. For all its flaws, Flash is definitely this year's most improved show.

For a discussion of what went wrong and how it changed, see my article.

Truth be told I couldn’t even get passed the first 20 minutes of the pilot. I just found it boring and a little bit of a Stargate rip off - sad considering Flash Gordon came WAY before Stargate.

I may be tempted to give it another go while waiting for Heroes to come back on!
