With the show almost over, I thought it was time to reveal to the devoted fans some of the inside information on LEXX. The following are 20 secret or overlooked factoids about the production and backstories of the show. The following information has never before been released to the public.
[b]Little known facts about LEXX [/b]-After failing to find an audience, Lex Gigeroff edited his amateur pornographic film “Star Whores” into what we now know as the LEXX movies.
-Paul Donovan died in a pyrotechnics accident during the filming of the second season and was replaced by a high-tech computer sprite and Jeffrey Hirschfield’s talented ventriloquism; hints to this can be found by listening to the Lyekka’s lines in “The End of the Universe” backwards or watching “Tunnels” frame by frame.
-“Wolfram Tichy” was George Lucas working under a pseudonym.
-The animatronic body that was built for 790 failed to perform properly when the cameras were rolling; Jeffrey Hirschfield solved the problem in an inexpensive and creative way.
-“The Beach”, in fact most of season three, was based on Lex Gigeroff’s experience in Viêt Nam.
-“The Wheel” is actually a little known Robert Frost piece.
-Brian Downey is Robert Downey Jr.’s brother.
-Zev was rejected as a companion for Doctor Who.
-*LEXX: Episode 0.1 spoiler*………..In the last cycle of time, His Divine Shadow was Norb, the loveable preadolescent space pilot.
-Kai’s battle chant was actually a commercial jingle he couldn’t get out of his head.
-Stan’s life as an underachiever stems from the fact that he had no male role model as his father, a famous Heretic, was killed by a Divine assassin when he was very young.
-790’s brain cube is from Stan.
-On top of the Divine Cleansing and the destruction of the 94 Reform Planets, His Divine Shadow failed to keep his promise to lower taxes if elected.
-Lyekka’s reluctance to eat Stan is out of gratitude; he never ate his vegetables as a child.
-Time is really more of a figure-8 shape.
-Bio-Scholar frats throw the best parties.
-Stan joined the Austral-B Heretics after the Jedi academy rejected his application.
-Nimbus 9 is another name for Betazed.
-The “4” on Stan’s hat is a major accomplishment; he worked his way up from “L.”
-The Divine Order started out as an R.P.G. club before things got out of hand.——————

Hi DaleckTek. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Good list. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
SPOILERISH:
But you forgot 21: The ‘carrot’ twist in S4 is the result of Paul Donovan being made to eat his carrots as a child. He swore eternal vengence on the carrot industry.[ 15-12-2001: Message edited by: Hypatia ]
I heard that a local Halifax clothing designer tried to get Paul Donovan to buy his latest hook rug creations, and Donovan said: “I wouldn’t be caught dead in that… oh, wait.” [img]images/smiles/icon_redface.gif[/img]

Ha! too too funny Degree!
This post smells of a MrGoodHead/The Real Robot Head posting. If you know what I mean.
Zev was REJECTED as a Dr. Who companion? How is that possible? She had a scream that could make male dangley bits, well, no longer dangle. [img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]

That’s right. Before becoming famous with the smash-hit series LEXX, Lex Gigeroff submitted three scripts to the makers of “Doctor Who.” “The Lizards of Death” introduced Zev, a Dulcian criminal who was to be transformed into a love slave when a Morlox Lizard got into the machine, as a possible companion for the Doctor. The character was even patterned to fit the template of female “Doctor Who” companions (miniskirt, imparctical shoes, ear-splitting scream). The B.B.C. rejected the scripts, as the season was going in a different direction entirely and Zev they wouldn’t fit in. So Zev was never seen on the show, but the character was recycled for LEXX. Luckily, copies of the scripts still exist. Here is a transcript from one:
Doctor: The T.A.R.D.I.S. likes you, but don’t tease it like that. You get off that control console this moment, young lady.
Zev: But I like it up here. It’s nice and warm and vibrating.
Doctor: It’s not so much you sitting up on the console that bothers me, Zoe used to do that and I didn’t complain, it’s the whole writhing bit. Is that really necessary?
Zev: Yes.
Doctor: Why don’t you just breeze off to one of the T.A.R.D.I.S.’s other rooms that no one ever sees or cares about.
Zev: Make me.
Doctor: Don’t think you can disobey my authority. Whinier companions than you have tried. What you need is a jolly good smacked bottom!
Zev: (perks up) Yes! Yes, I do.
Doctor: (under his breath) By Rassilon! Crazy non-British alien…And what have you been doing with my sonic screwdriver?
Zev: Don’t you ever stop talking?
Doctor: I do when the special effects department can afford a planet for us to land on.
Doctor: You don’t understand. I get so lonely, cooped up in this T.A.R.D.I.S. all the time, no one to keep me company but a neurotic English gentleman with question marks all over his clothes. I have needs. I need you to fulfill my love slave desires, Time Lord.
Doctor: Fine and dandy, all we have to do is reverse the polarity of the neutron flow, and…wait, I mean no. No! I’m not planning on doing that.
Zev: Resistance is useless. The libido is all-powerful and all-consuming.
Doctor: You’d be surprised how many times Leela said tha… (Zev lunges at the Doctor) Aagh! Get off me. Klokleda partha menin klatch!
(The Master’s T.A.R.D.I.S. materialises in the control room)
Master: Hello, Doctor, miscellaneous female companion.
Doctor: So we meet again.
Who are you?
I am the Master and you will obey me. I need a new body. My being must occupy living flesh again.
Zev: I volunteer. I obey you, oh Master.
Master: Wow, that was easy.
Doctor: You’re the worst companion ever, Zev.
Zev: I know. So, right here?
