 Fun if you don't take it to serious September 5, 2008

This is one of those wooden Sc-Fi series that just grows on you and before you know it you can't wait to see the next episode.
It is filled with Hot Chicks who spend far to many hours in the gym (look out for Ming's daughter), which can also be said about actor who plays Flash Gordon instead of those all important acting lessons! In fact: you'll find yourself rooting for "Ming the Merciless" (not to be confused with the ex-Lib Dem Leader) played by John Ralston who clearly can act!
This series is closer to Lexx than the tiresomely serious Battlestar Glactica series, which I also own. Of course, its no where near the Stargate franchise, but if you can appreciate a less full on version of Lexx with bigger budget then you'll like this series. I do also own the compulsory Firefly series and movie for Sc-Fi fans.
Worth a buy at only 26 with the knowledge it's closer to the Lexx series than Battlestar Glactica(very boring in its 3rd season). Enjoy the ham acting with an open minded.

After the first 7 minutes of this 22 series box set I came to my conclusion. To be fair this is only a review of the first seven minutes as the rest is in the trash.
If you are thinking that this is a Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Stargate, Heroes type experience then look elsewhere. I'm just trying to save you the money.
An opportunity missed to leverage a core franchise.

So this wasn't the best sci-fi series ever to come on television but for some reason I began to like it more and more as the series progressed. And yes it is cheesy, but so what, just don't take it too seriously and I'm sure you'll like it. It was never intended to be up there with the likes of Battlestar or Farscape but it's still a good series with some fun characters.
When it first started off I wasn't to keen on the concept of a wormhole from Earth to Mongo but it worked out quite well in the end, even if it was kind of a rip off of the Sliders idea. Also, some people complained that the stories were always on Earth instead of Mongo, but as it went along, the storyline shifted more to Mongo and the story revolving around Ming and his daughter Aura (who is hot by the way). There was also a lot of great action too and gunfights. One of the best performing character's would probably have to be the Ming, the benevolent father (played by John Ralston). He made his character seperate to the other Ming I remembered and I appreciated that. The other actors did a good job but nothing too special.
Anyway I overall recommend this series but don't put it down until you've stayed until midway because it does improve. Also just wanted to mention something. It states here that there are 22 epsiodes but when I finished watching the series I noticed on tv.com that there are only 21 episodes so I'm notsure if there's an unaired ep or if the pilot was a double ep. I can't really remember. And I'm hoping that when the region 1 version comes out they will include some good extras like a few commetary tracks or something.
