    "Salvation" on Amazon Prime
    https://www.amazon.com/Pilot/dp/B073WN254K/

    I have been watching Salvation on Amazon Prime and really enjoying it
    through episode seven. It is about a seven mile diameter rock
    forecasted to hit the Earth in the Atlantic in 186 days and being kept
    secret by the various governments. They just invented a working EM drive
    in episode seven.

    Don't get too excited. It's yet another show they cancelled without
    finishing the story. :-(

    As with far too many shows these days, it seems to have been created as

    I didn't watch that so I don't know.

    I did, but I have a perverse taste for bad movies and TV. It had
    the same appeal as watching a train wreck.[1]

    Some regulars in
    rec.arts.tv did so you may want to ask there. (And its a much
    livelier group than this one.)

    I don't actually care, since there is zero chance of me watching
    anything streaming from Amazon.

    [1]Ming the Accountant, who ran a water processing plant. And was
    caucasian, because of course he was. Evidence Hawkmen were there in
    the form of feathers left behind. Except when the Hawkmen actually
    appear, they don't have feathers, they fly by flapping their arms
    while wearing a ratty suede cloaks that look like they were made
    from a moldy couch someone had paid them to haul away - and tripled
    their props budget. While making a screeching sound thought up by
    someone who listend to a bad recording of . . . something other
    than a hawk. Mongo isn't a rogue planet they fly to in spaceships,
    because they couldn't afford the cgi, so it was in an alternate
    dimension they traveled to with a poorly recycled effect from
    Sliders. And Flash wasn't an American football player. Or an
    American. He was a Canadian marathon runner. And Dale had a fiance,
    who wasn't Flash. And the Princess was played by a woman with less
    acting talent than a lifesize carboard cutout of her would
    displayed (seriously). The only person who seemed to be even
    vaguely aware of what a train wreck they were in was Don S. Davis,
    who played Dale's boss at the TV station. He chewed on the scenery
    with more hammy enthusians than William Shatner as Kirk, and was
    clearly having the time of his life.

    I treasure my DVD set.

    Interesting sort of anti-commercial: they took to running a few minutes of a serialized Battlestar Galactica story during one of Flash Gordon's breaks to try to draw eyes to the show.

    This brought the show to my sister's attention: during a phone call, she -knowing I was a Flash Gordon fan- asked if I was watching the new series. In my best Marvin the Paranoid Android voice I said, "Yes, but I'm not enjoying it."

    The sad thing is, the producers and writers actually took the
    audience feedback seriously and adjusted the scripts based on it
    (including killing Dale's fiance in such as way as to bring him back
    the next season as a villian, followed in the third season by his
    redepmtion - they set it up perfectly). Unfortunately, that process
    takes so long it didn't show up on screen until the last three or
    four episodes, and by then it was *far* too late.

    Turned out that (other than the Princess), if you gave those people
    something to work with, they could actually act.

    audience feedback seriously and adjusted the scripts based on it

    Interesting, I did not know that. Someone here at the time noted that the fewer people watching it, the better it was getting. I said that made me sorry I would be traveling and miss the season finale (it was guaranteed two seasons), but gave a "You're
    Welcome" to the few(er) that would see it.

    (including killing Dale's fiance in such as way as to bring him back
    the next season as a villian, followed in the third season by his
    redepmtion - they set it up perfectly). Unfortunately, that process
    takes so long it didn't show up on screen until the last three or
    four episodes, and by then it was *far* too late.

    I may have been reading too much into it, but something about one of the moons of Mongo held out the possibility of space travel in the second season. (It was guaranteed two seasons!!)

    Interesting sort of anti-commercial: they took to running a
    few minutes of a serialized Battlestar Galactica story during
    one of Flash Gordon's breaks to try to draw eyes to the show.

    This brought the show to my sister's attention: during a
    phone call, she -knowing I was a Flash Gordon fan- asked if I
    was watching the new series. In my best Marvin the Paranoid
    Android voice I said, "Yes, but I'm not enjoying it."

    The sad thing is, the producers and writers actually took the
    audience feedback seriously and adjusted the scripts based on
    it

    The last three or four episodes were actually decent.

    It didn't get them.

    Possible. Maybe that's where Ming the Accountant ended up after his "execution."

    (It was guaranteed two seasons!!)

    Only if the budget was increased. A lot. Or they were willing to
    use Troma Studios quality props, which wouldn't have surprised me.
