Flash Gordon coming to SCI FI?

With the relative success of the new Battlestar Galactica, SCI FI is now exploring the possibility of bringing a reimagined Flash Gordon serial to television. The idea is to bring a lighter, funnier science fiction series to the boob tube, something more on the line of the Stargate series or the Hercules made-for-tv movies. It is an intersting idea, but they would need EXACTLY the right writer and actor to make this work. Otherwise, it would be easy to wind up with a 2000s version of the campy Batman television series. (Though I will admit as a kid I really enjoyed that series.)
