Re: Lexx
It's just so unique among sci-fi. It's intentionally campy, and also just plain brutal in it's depiction of a futuristic society. It's like Warhammer 40k tossed in a blender with 1984 and some porno. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Lexx
I don't know Warhammer, but I know porno. I can agree with that. Stanley is just trying to get laid. Zev wants to lay with Kai. Kai is dead. That head thing is totally confused.Tsukiyumi wrote:It's just so unique among sci-fi. It's intentionally campy, and also just plain brutal in it's depiction of a futuristic society.

I'm enjoying this show even more the second time around.

Re: Lexx
I voted love it, though actually I just quite liked it.
Say what you like about it, it was certainly original. How many shows have an entire universe destroyed at one point?
I kind of lost it when they did the whole Fire / Water thing though.

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan of that arc, either. I think they really pulled it together for the ending arc on Earth, though.GrahamKennedy wrote:...I kind of lost it when they did the whole Fire / Water thing though.

Hmm, been a while. Not bad, but not my favorite by a long shot.

Re: Lexx
Yeah, I kinda needed an option for "Just on the plus side of 'meh.'" The concept was great, but the actual production/execution never really blew me out of the water.GrahamKennedy wrote:I voted love it, though actually I just quite liked it.

Re: Lexx
Yeah, I'll admit Lexx doesn't quite stack up to Farscape or Firefly for me, but it's still a fun show. Every time the Lexx blows a planet to bits, I get all giggly.
Kai is also one of my all-time favorite characters.

Stanley: "For example, if I placed my hand right here, and said 'Lexx, blow up that planet'"
Lexx: "As you command."
Cue light show, planet blowing up, and Stanley looking like 'oops'. The inbred astronauts are looking at Stanley like he is crazy.

Re: Lexx
How much nudity is there in Lexx? That's going to make the big difference if I shell out time and money tracking down the seasons.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.
