Do you think old Lexx fans are becoming jaded and almost immune to the weirdness and cleverness of Lexx or do you think theyve just forgotten why they started watching it in the first place?

Give me a break!! So now its the old fan’s fault? If that’s the case, how do we explain many of the old fan’s continued warmth for it? Maybe we can then argue that only true fans ever got it in the first place. Or conversely, that these new fans can’t be regarded as the real mccoy because they don’t know why other (jaded?) fans introduced it to them despite their own misgivings. but I don’t want to argue either of these things, because it creates a divide between who is or is not really a fan. and that’s crap. Season 4 actually shows how jaded the makers have become, and indicates that they have forgotten what made it clever and weird in the first place. Hint: it doesn’t involve the wholesale appropriation of the Hammer Horror film in the guise of a parody (W. Night), an incredibly smug satire of Survivor, a pointless **** take of Texas, etc. This is not clever or weird – it is familiar and conforting. GENERALLY SPEAKING, it has been like watching someone shoot fish in a barrel: with a water pistol!!
