supposedly sci fi thinks galactica's mature and hard edge themes is what made the ratings slide, i think they are morons myself.
they seem to think that a less serious series like Flash would be more welcomed with opened arms.
Flash Gordon has tons of fans built in Long before the awful 1980 film, Alex Raymonds superb comicbook and the buster crabbe serials are the real flash gordon as far as i'm concerned and i was born in 1978, lol
I will admit to as a kid likeing the strange cheasyness of the 1980 film because of the awesome queen score and the use of the music from the atari game vanguard.
not to mention a pre bond timothy dalton as prince baron.
The suits will never understand good sci fi, they cancelled such stellar outings as enterprise, stargate sg-1, galactica, firefly, farscape. morons who understand nothing but nielson ratings who don't even bother going to fan conventions or reading fan mail to see what a following these shows have and had.
To dumb down and completely ruin shows by turning them into complete drivel or t&a fests to compete with desperate houswives is lame. The average american viewer is a retard if they think shows like american idol and desperate houswives are better than shows like galactica.
