Is Flash Gordon Cancelled or Not?

So is the Sci Fi Channel’s Flash Gordon cancelled or not? To be perfectly honest with you, while I didn’t think the show was all that bad for a Sci Fi Channel original show, it certainly wasn’t very good. It was way too camp, and the show’s Mongol setting were just downright cheesy. Now Sy Fy Portal thinks they know what’s happened to the show, even if the Sci Fi Channel won’t come out and say it: Yup, you guessed it, Flash Gordon has been cancelled. Or at least, that’s the going assumption.

Fans of “The Dresden Files” found about the fate of their show when its star was signed on to another series. And now those looking to find out if “Flash Gordon” is getting another season has found out through a passing comment by a SciFi Channel executive more than a week ago.

SciFi Channel president David Howe told trade publication Variety March 21 that the network didn’t treat the character of “Flash Gordon” the way he should’ve been treated, and the network may try to do it again sometime … just not right now, which reading between the lines means that “Flash Gordon” is no longer on the schedule.

Oh well. At least this frees up the gorgeous Gina Holden for something, er, you know, less lame.
