"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. :-(

It was another Rancid Onion Blowing Soap Bubbles of Flaming Stupidity
(ala the 'Lost' model). They were throwing brown stuff on the wall
every script and not even really paying attention to what stuck and what
didn't.

As with far too many shows these days, it seems to have been created as
a one-season show, but then they got a second season and it became a
case of "what the {beep} do we do now" style of storywriting.

I didn't watch that so I don't know. Some regulars in rec.arts.tv did
so you may want to ask there. (And its a much livelier group than this
one.)

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

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.

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.

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!!)
