Being a big Flash Gordon fan, to have any kind of an incarnation of the classic character is a thrill for me. I'm looking forward to this. I liked some of the Charmed episodes and thought they were fun with enough action/drama in them to keep the viewer interested. So, I wish the best of luck to the producers of this. I don't think Eric is a bad choice, and I wholeheartedly agree with the choice for Dale Arden. She's absolutely gorgeous.

Johnson's acting was definitely wooden when "Smallville" began, but some of that was the poorly-written dumb bully character. By his last few appearances, when he had an ailing/then dying father, and when he decided to join the military, Whitney had become a much better character, and Johnson's performance was much improved. Give him a break!

I think that gives robot actors a bad name. I mean look at Calculon....=)

I guess they want to keep in line with the very robot-like acting from the Flash Gordon movie ...
