This is very true. It even filtered down to us at Acorn. Andrew at Salter Digital (or maybe it was Jennifer) went on about how they weren’t expecting that kind of turn out *at all*. I think they’re honestly surprised that the fan base has grown so much, and it has really turned their heads quite a bit. At this moment, I wouldn’t write off a fifth season at all, but as the delightfully-named wonderchicken said, it’s all about ratings. They can have people coming to conventions all the time, but if that doesn’t translate into a decent share, then Sci Fi won’t be likely to pick it up, and there you go. So, it’s vitally important that the word get out as soon as possible to anyone in any decision-making position that the fans want LEXX to continue for another season. I would definitely tell Salter that you want more LEXX, but the people who REALLY need to know are at the Sci Fi Channel. Salter may end up wanting to make a fifth season, but if Sci Fi won’t back it, the money won’t be there to do it. Unless they book it into first-run syndication like Xena or Hercules.
