Season 4 and its Critics

Agree with everything you say Squish. I’m not really sure that Lexx should be taken as my cue to sprout analytic philosophy though – if there is one show that discourages such an approach, its Lexx. sorry about that. i just got on my high horse because i found myself on the receiving end of an instance of Subjectivism 101 and all the complications that usually entails. I’d rather not be acting like a show pony, although I certainly appreciated someone meeting me on my home turf, so to speak. The interesting thing about philosophy is that it is full of intelligent people trying to convince each other they’re idiots, and that’s just idiotic. They’re is actually little difference between (say) disputes between Farscape and Lexx fans and Derrida and Habermas fanatics – everyone wants to be proven ‘right’, and resents the one encroaching on the others ‘territority’ For me, the interesting thing/s are the disputes themselves – the ground covered, lost, fought over, etc. I’m actually grateful for being reminded by what is ‘great’ about Lexx, even when its ‘bad’. thanks for that. I suppose my concern is how hermetically sealed fandom can become, allowing itself to tolerate things that it wouldn’t otherwise allow, and resist/resent dissent from ‘within’. I certainly look forward to chasing my tail like a dog though – although my dog (bonnee, an alaskan malamute) has never chasen a thing in her life. so, I’ll probably need a demonstration of some sort
