"Lexx is a science fantasy television series that follows the adventures of a group of mismatched individuals aboard the organic space craft Lexx. They travel through two universes and encounter planets including a parody of our own.
The crew of the Lexx is motivated largely by fear, lust, and insatiable hunger — factors which gradually came to dominate the story-lines more and more, eventually making Lexx famous for its sexual themes and often bizarre story-lines. Each episode in the later series takes the crew through another stage of their journey through chaotic, hostile universes without any legitimate authority while exploring the relationships between the protagonists and their individual histories.
The Lexx is a bio-engineered, Manhattan-sized, planet-destroying, bioship in the shape of a giant wingless dragonfly, or to the remotely Freudian eye, a phallus. It was grown by ingesting organ collections from the protein bank on the Cluster, the seat of the Divine Order, for use by His Divine Shadow. The Lexx was originally intended as the ultimate deterrent: the threat of a weapon that could instantly obliterate any planet would keep the remaining "Heretic" worlds of the Light Universe in line, and those that refused to capitulate would be summarily destroyed to reinforce the point. This plan was foiled when the crew commandeered it to escape from the Cluster."
Anyone else love this show? I just got to season 3 and I'm liking it more. I thought season 2 dragged and I thought having the Shadow be part of Mantrid was stupid because he was so cool and evil and had a sexy evil darth-vader wannabe voice in season 1.
Season 1 was really cool because of His Shadow.
Although it's corny it's got a cool story and characters, and attempts to be ORIGINAL unlike Star Trek and all those other wannabe shows. It's also nice how it doesn't take itself TOO seriously i.e. caring about Dilithium Crystals and quantum physics and all that stuff that nobody cares about.
Each of the four seasons change things up significantly to keep it interesting.
Season 1 is about the characters escape from the tyrannical planet and fighting His Shadow in the Dark Universe;
Season 2 the crew of the Lexx try to find a planet suitable for their needs i.e. Hunger, Sex in the Light Universe;
Season 3 has the Crew wake up after 4000 years in the Dark Universe caught in a war between two planets of Fire and Water;
Season 4 takes place on Earth.

I have no idea what this show is and I don't know if that many other people do. IMPROVE THIS TOPIC by tomorrow (here is an example of what a good topic should look like (http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=1341.0)) or I'm locking it.

Lexx is a sexy, campy sci fi series with very little redeeming value. The ideas behind it are so out there though... I couldn't help but watch it out of morbid curiosity. Although I don't remember much of the show (it was like 7 years since I've seen it).... I remember enough to know not to watch it again.

I remember Lexx. I thought it was a fun show when I used to watch it. But I was like 16 back then so I don't know about it now.
MY NAME IS LEXX. MY CAPTAIN IS STANLEY TWEEDLE. I BLOW UP.. PLANETS FOR HIM.

They filmed it in my home province Nova Scotia and Berlin apparently. Makes me feel proud to be from here *salutes flag*
I used to watch this a lot when I was younger, but I don't think I finished it.
The second incarnation of Zev was fucking hot tho
I must have scrapped to her a couple (of dozen) times.
-
I was reading an interview saying they wanted "young teenagers to pull off to her" or something lol.
You should start watching it again it's good and crazy!

Just skimming it over it does seem like the ultimate horny nerd show
-
Any show that uses "love slave" as a serious plot device is A-OK with me!
-
Okay in my book too. Yeah, only best part is her showing her boobs in the movie. Obviously. overall. Kai is kickass.

Lexx was a good show.
1st season was a fairly basic Sci-fi epic (Kinda).
2nd was a little darker but did drag a little.
3rd tried to be more serious and it did achieve some better story but sacrificed the character that the show had established
4th was just hysterical and goofy. My favorite season. The ending was kinda sad. :fogetsad:
