Gina Holden Talks Future Flash Gordon Episodes
I can’t say as if I’m a big fan of The Sci Fi Channel’s Flash Gordon TV series, although in the handful of episodes I’ve seen, I have liked it. It’s got a certain kind of goofy fun about it that makes it likable; nothing is ever taken too seriously on the show, although...

Kevin Falls to Explain Journeyman’s Time Travel Device
Afraid that his show may not return after its 12th and final episode (unless NBC orders more, which doesn’t seem likely considering the show’s low ratings), the show’s creator Kevin Falls ensures fans that the show’s 11th and 12th episode will deal with lead character Dan’s...
