1. Deservedly so
It was incredibly boring and lifeless. I think I had it on for about 30 minutes before switching off.

2. That's because it's terrible.
Couldn't hardly stand watching it. I don't think I got past the first 30 minutes.

3. Ouch
I thought I was tuning in to watch Dr Who on Friday, and got this instead. I dont think it will last more than one season.

5. The Buffy soap opera meets old sci-fi franchise routine is out of steam
Flash is garbage.

Amongst everything else, the acting is atrociously wooden by all too many...

It's best left unmade.

7. When it is comparied to what is possible for them to do
like BSG, then FG is crappy and pretty lame. I do not like it and I think SCI-FI is getting pretty lazy and crappy in general.

8. It was terrible
It had the production values (and most of the writing staff) from those syndicated Tribune shows back in the late 1990's - Mutant X, The Lost World, Beastmaster, Queen of Swords, Earth: Final Conflict (after it turned to shit), etc. Very disappointing. Sigh. :boring:

At least we have BBC America, so we can see Torchwood!

9. Because it's a horrendous show.
It's another Buffy clone, with acting that makes the California giant redwood forest less wooden by comparison...

Why did they bother?

12. I loved watching the newest Doctor Who on Friday....
At 8 PM (here in Houston), then again at 10. (Yes, I could have taped it. Yes, I'll eventually buy the DVD.) Now, I need to get home early (for a Friday) to catch the first showing at 7. Next show--midnight!

Do they really think I'll stay tuned to watch two showings each of Flash Gordon & Painkiller Jane? No, I make a POINT of changing the channel when the Doctor disappears.
