Lexx was great! Eva Haberman was definately the sexiest Zev with her saucy lil ass & her blue hair, mmmmmmmmm lol. (Lyekka was almost as hot but not quite).
Season 1 was the best with its 4 movie length episodes with loads of gore, brains & twists. (Clearly remember the bug bomb). season 2 was as random as it gets with each episode being fresh although not every one was good. (The hillbillies was the best episode). Season 3 was where things started to go wrong, a full season on the planets fire & water where you really had to watch all episodes to be able to get to grips with it then season 4 was planet earth. Carrots from outer space that shot up your ass & turned you into a zombie? classic!
So many famous faces turned up on this show, Rutger Hauer, Malcolm MacDowell, Tim Curry & even Britt Ekland popped up in season 4.
The robot head made me laugh with his twisted obsession with first Zev & then Kai. The way the whole light universe was consumed by robot arms was quite spooky. Sad when the Lexx finally dies in the last episode but then on dying gives birth to a new baby lexx.
I'm a bit surprised theres no Lexx collection on here
Anyway, thats my two penneth

I was never a fan of S4, S3 is my favourite. S2 is everyone's normal choice, but nope... its S3 for me

Why season 3? You like the idea that when you die you wake up again? Is it the desert & you'd like to maybe live in Egypt or similar? You've been up in a hot air balloon or would like to? Maybe even the Yin/Yang of the 2 planets? Personally I found season 3 hard going, but maybe thats just me as I often fall asleep halfway through a film lol

[spudthedestroyer]

All and none of them. I think its the most success visually, it has spanning werid landscapes. It all focuses on the two planets in twin orbit, and i like the mortal enemies of heaven and hell linked by the upper atmosphere.

I just liked it, especially because it was hard going

As with anything with me its what I watched when I was growing up (still am) ... these are the ones that got me hooked to sc-fi ... my favs were (still are) The Invaders, Original Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek (OS), Dr Who (Jon Pertwee) Buck Rogers, Space 1999 and 'V' (a classic) ... they're the ones that stick in my head ...

newer ones? ... well there's a a few now that TV went mad ... BSG remake for sure, Invasion (see below) ... there's loads out there I haven't seen yet but at the moment Heroes is top of my list ...

The one thing I hate the most is that the more sci-fi series they make the more loose ends there are (as in closure) to the series cos they get axed and so don't ever get to the end of the story ... if they just concentrated on one series, make it, finish it (with closure), then it would get a better response from the fans ...

Why they don't just put a budget aside (written into contract) specially for 'a last 2 episode miniseries' to create an ending so it ties up the story I dont't know ... this goes for all sci-fi series ... it will make the world a better place (READ: well it would stop me getting annoyed)

while i love Doctor who i am getting fed up with the new series style of "dalek episode every other story", the old series never had so many in rapid succession, although it was nice to see lesser known one troughton story villians "the macra" make a reappearance, but next weeks is a 2parter dalek story again. It just annoys me they obviously can't think of any new ideas much these days.

Although saying that going by what the face of boe said at the end of this weeks ep about

Spoiler:

the doctor not being the only time lord left and the fact that the final episode of this series is called Last of The Timelords, leads me to believe the master (who we all knew wouldn't stay dead) may be making his return

I totally agree.... once upon a time, Channel 4 had taste, BBC still had class aswell.... now look @ them.....

[maxpayne2409]

yeah now it's all reality cock fighting, and quiz/chat shows, with the odd bout of scifi in the form of doctor who and torchwood, the less said about channel 5 the better, but at least itv made an attempt with Primeval, which wasn't too bad i suppose even tho it looked like it was made for £1.50 with all the effects bought direct from cash converters.

For that matter, with the popularity of the new doctor who series, and other who related stuff, the BBC still haven't thought "let's repeat some old who", if this was america there would be so much who all over the tv you wouldn't be able to move for wobbly cardboard, but not here oh no

I can't stand all the ridiculous "reality" shite.

[maxpayne2409]
