And yeah, its hard to come up with a worse re-imagining of an iconic villain such as Ming. It's like they went out there way to make him as insignificant and worthless as possible.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> @deckard97: No show needs four months to go from "absolute crap" to "horribly mediocre." It sucks and will always suck and strangely I will watch every crappy episode.

But what I find most amusing about this is that it's so bad it's making the movie version now look like some sort of classic, when it was a huge turd too.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> I thought the last couple of episodes showed improvement. Every show needs time to get its 'legs'. 'They' should go dark, real dark, serious. Flash needs to start carrying a gun, go 'Punisher' over his dad. Aura is tough and hot. How delicious is that?

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> I watched the first two episodes of this and I am still shoveling the cheese out of my house. Really if you want to make a show suck but get a following, at least get the first couple episode right. I half expected the trio from MST3000 to walk in and start commenting on the show.

Sci-Fi Channel lost me when they screwed the Farscape team.

OMG! Ponies!

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> Sure, Micro manager, but did you see his numbers for last month?

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> There's one thing Flash Gordon should never be, and that's boring. I hate camp as a rule, but the 1980 version is still endlessly watchable. This one, though, doesn't even seem to be trying.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> Wow. You really really want us to like this show.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> I could never watch this show, scifi channel is just crap right now. Waiting for BSG is pain.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> I'm glad there's at least ONE Sci-fi (genre, not channel) show left for my Tivo. Sadly though, if I had a choice I'd gladly keep one of the other two in exchange for this. Meh....

P.S. I'm glad "that thing" happened to "that character", they were really starting to get on my nerves.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> This scene has that terrible stink of daytime soap opera about it.

]]> <![CDATA[Ming the Micromanager]]> If there were ever a show in the history of television that didn't need a "re-imagining" it was Flash Gordon. The whole show is just kinda dull.
