[OT] Lexx series finalie

[uv23]

Well Lexx was one of those shows it took me a full season to like but when I got used to it, it started to feel real comfy in a lovely absurd very Canadian sort of way. Great episode. I'm sad to see it go...

I admit that I mostly watched Lexx for Xenia Seeberg. However, it really grew on me. Kai, for example, is one of the ultimate badass characters I've seen on TV.

The finale seemed rushed, to me. The series has been languidly paced all through its run, and then it just sorta suddenly ended. I guess some of the things that happened were inevitable, like...


SPOILER ALERT

.

...blowing up the Earth...

.


END SPOILER ALERT

...but it seemed like they had been going in another direction and then just kinda did it as a spur-of-the-moment "well we gotta wrap things up" ending.

Very bizarre, but very fun, show. It'll probably gain in cult status over the years.

 

[Roland Delacroix]

Yeah, the ending seemed a little rushed. I only caught the occasional episode but still it seemed like a freaky but cool show. I'll pick up the series on DVD when it comes out. Kai was the ultimate, of only there was a zombie template with accompanying ECL he'd be my next character.

Lexx was hated by every Sci-fi fan who considers Star Trek the gospel, and every Sci-fi fan who complains about being taken seriously, and loved by every weirdo.

I'm a weirdo.

And yes, that ending did feel a bit rushed, but that last bit, of Kai laughing before the bomb goes off...

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful...

I didn't like Lexx when it first came out, but it grew on me over the years. The third season was great. Sometimes it was a little over the top, but you've got to watch it looking for a laugh. I really liked Kai singing that Brunen-G song at the end of the show... cool stuff.

Very different from your typical, safe sci-fi shows. I liked it.

I personally LOVED the end of the second series and most of the third. I was a little disappointed with the fourth series though, I guess I was expecting too much. Btw, the spoiler had been foreshadowed right in the beginning of series 4, when Kai and Stan talk about how Earth is in a class likely to blow itself up.

For those in Canada with the Space channel, they're going to run a Lexx-athon someday... May 19, 12 am ET.

They also show reruns (third season right now) at Sundays 2am ET.

. I'll pick up the series on DVD when it comes out.

Quite a few episodes are already out on DVD in the US (all of season 2, and the first four episodes of season 3). If you have access to a Canadian importer, the four movies from season 1 are also available (the latter are region 0, NTSC). I have them all so far, and the US releases are some of the better bang for your buck sci-fi TV shows on DVD. Four episodes to a disc, with special features, as opposed to Star Trek TOS or Farscape's 2 eps per disc.

This was actually hillariously personal for me. I remember 7-90's line from that episode: "Some class 13 worlds destroy themselves through overpopulation and world hunger, a massive nuclear war, environmental pollution... but most end up getting shrunk to the size of a pea by scientists trying to find the mass of the Higgs boson." I saw that episode over the summer I was working on the D0 project at Notre Dame with that very goal... and it still sorta scares the heck out of me!

I got hooked on Lexx when I caught one of the mid season three episodes. Then when I saw the whole season three, I realy liked it. It was what Sci Fi was ment to be. That is A commentary on our own socitey and morals.

The Forth Season when from commentary, to painful parody. The episodes when they were not as much on Earth were more enjoyable then the ones on Earth. (Kai the Singing Tree or the Chess game.)

All in all. A very wierd show. But then I am a wierdo as well.
