Baywatch: The Return of Jessie (2001)
Maybe the worst season in the series
This episode is an example of what made Baywatch a poor show so many times. The same way the screenwriters twisted Neely's character for no reason, they completely miswrite Jessie, who was a natural born lovely character until the writers decided, again for no reason, transform her into some kind of mean, selfish, and unfriendly creature in a way the viewer doesn't even think "what happened to Jessie??" but "That's not Jessie, it's the writers playing weird again".
Terrible episode, terrible concept, and terriblecharacter treatment.
Other elements keep a fair level, such as Jason Brooks' role, who is maybe the best addition to Hawaii's phase.
Flash Gordon (2007)
All right, it's not perfect, but, is it THAT bad?
I love comic-books and fantasy since I had age to love something. And Flash Gordon is one of my favorite characters. I loved all incarnations of the character, from Alex Raymond's first take, with it's futurist medieval spirit, to Dan Barry's iconic futuristic sci-fi (and McRaboy, Dan Jurgens, Al Williamson...)
I understand some modernizing stuff for this new version, Flash is not a 1934 hero anymore, but I have to admit that when I saw that Ming...(He looks like Flash!), I didn't feel I was ready for that.
Next thing I saw was that this is indeed a "small" series, it looks like television, not like other series like Lost, Galactica, which are really like big budget movies. We are not used to this kind of TV series today, we need to see small blockbuster movies, and Flash Gordon is not that kind of product. This budget issues determine the story/plot possibilities, so plots and stories will be really affected by budget limitations.
It has happened before, Stargate SG. 1 had a very small firsts seasons with small budgets, and look at the Stargate franchise now. Remember Star Trek Next Generation's pilot "Encounter at Far Point"? I think it's still the worst TV pilot (in all sense) I have seen in my life, and now look at "All The Good Things..." (series finale), different isn't it? Sometimes TV improves year after year. We should give Flash Gordon a chance, there are good things in it, the lead cast is OK, the effort in modernizing the myth...
I think it's getting better as season goes on. With a bit of patience, we could be watching an awesome science fiction series sooner than we think.
