: : One question...why is it following Farscape? Oh, let me guess--guaranteed audience? I'm not that 13 year old and I'm also not quite that over the hill parent but I do enjoy good science fiction when it's worth sitting through every minute on Friday night and worth catching again the following day, namely Farscape. As for Lexx, well I may be behind the times but I think that the Lexx said about Lexx the better.: Right On Sista
: I think whomever were on the creative crew for that show must have some serious developmental disorder. It took about fifteen minutes before I actually felt like I was becoming dumber for having watched it. I guess my first Lexxual experience ended prematurely.
: Reminded me of the crap they play on Skinemax after dark. I think putting it after Farscape is a really bad idea - they thing because they are both classed as SF shows that they will have the same audience, but they are completely different takes on the genre! Farscape is serious (and seriously good) soft science fiction. Lexx is more of a satire. It is poking fun at sexual morals, audience expectation and genre TV in general. Taking it seriously is totally missing the point. That said, I don't think that it is as good a show a Farscape. If it were, it would come off as witty instead of stupid. I wish they would show the pilot - the clips I saw of it looked a lot better than the first episode that they aired. -CJ
