As long as Brian Blessed is still around....
Though Gil Suffered enough being immortalized in the outfit from that movie.

Very sad news indeed. Buck Rogers was a staple of my childhood

Somewhere Dr. Theopolis is quietly weeping, if that’s even possible.

Which movie? Are you talking about Flash Gordon? He wasn't in that, was he? It's been years since I watched it but I don't remember him being in it.

Oh, gawd...

That fucking obnoxious robot. I wanted to melt it down on first sight.

yeah. I kind of mixed Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers together. Kind of just see them as one single mélange of 70's sci fi weirdness. Also doesn't help that I just got out of 12 hour nap after stress and sleep deprivation (surprise funerals aren't great by the way) . Yeah Brian was in Flash Gordon as an Eagle man and is just his typical awesomeness.
Though I do remember the Buck Rogers Roleplaying game both table top and computer.

I was just talking about that robot and doctor Smith from lost in space. And even as a child I thought they were both Ungodly annoying.
