The characters include:

In the beginning, the show had a [[Monster of the Week]] format. After negative critical reactions, a mid-season [[Retool]] shifted the focus to a Mondo-based story arc. Despite this effort, ''Flash Gordon'' was canceled after one season, ending on a cliffhanger.

 

----

* [[After the End]]: At least as far as Mongo is concerned; Mongo's original civilization collapsed, leaving Ming to rebuild.

* [[And Man Grew Proud]]: The original Mongo civilization was highly advanced to the point where they could set up a massive mining operation on their moon and build ''two more moons'' as processing centers. This eventually led to their downfall. An accident resulted in the planet being showered with a toxic mineral, killing the vast majority of the population and contaminating nearly all water supplies. Only a few million who managed to escape to one of the moons survived before returning to the planet. The current Mongo people remember the day of the accident as the Sorrow, which is commemorated every year.

* [[Chekhov MIA]]

* [[Cardboard Prison]]: At ''least'' four times.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Ming is a dictator who absolutely despises Deviants and will order a newborn's execution if his DNA contains traces of deviancy. {{spoiler|A later episode reveals that Ming himself is a Deviant}}.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]: Rankol {{spoiler|(later subject to a [[Heel Face Turn]]).}}

* [[Evil Minions]]: Ming's Patriot Guards.

* [[Monster of the Week]]: The original format of the show. Something would come through from Mongo, and Flash and the others would have to either kills it or send it back, while keeping it a secret from everybody else.

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Sam Jones (the 1980s Flash) played a prisoner.

* [[Strawman News Media]]: Type 4. Both of the [http://flashgordon.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_110:_Conspiracy_Theory TV stations] shown are obsessed with ratings and Dale’s attempts to promote the value of integrity are ignored. Dales [http://flashgordon.wikia.com/wiki/Susan_Glass competitor] is the [[Hot Scoop]].

** Dale can drop completely off the grid for days at a time without filing a story, checking in with her editor, or even turning in an expense report, and nobody thinks this is unusual.
