Even his mother seems to be a clone. ???<BR/>Spooky! (Reminds me of Harry Mudd's androids.) <BR/>Maybe the producer's trophy wife or girlfriend is the prototype.lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06985192999891762798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314249.post-58630510259126632092007-08-16T14:20:00.000-04:002007-08-16T14:20:00.000-04:00From a craft perspective, is there any way to re-i...From a craft perspective, is there any way to re-introduce the series to a new generation that would somehow meaningfully justify using this specific character instead of just making up an all new one? <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong, I've watched a lot of previous Flash incarnations, but if we're going to go through all this trouble to bring the series back, what can really be done to take it to a new level?<BR/><BR/>Most of the time with franchises like this , the 'update' of the storyline consists of little more than stripping out the politically incorrect or overdosing on the special effects, eschewing the deeper themes and storylines that captured the attention of the original audiences.<BR/><BR/>At this point, I'd be fascinated to see the business and marketing plan that greenlit the idea that a revival of Flash Gordon is just what today's TV audiences were clamoring for. <BR/><BR/>Even if he barely resembles any of his previous incarnations.Bryan Thao Worrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14250802784254875765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314249.post-86870951659512394902007-08-13T19:21:00.000-04:002007-08-13T19:21:00.000-04:00Bletch.
