Buyer for Spin Off Series
I agree totally with FG; LEXX has carved out a niche in Sci-Fi history as a definite pioneer of what a lot of shows will try to replicate but not be able to duplicate.
I hope to heavens they did not give us a “happy ending” with Live Kai riding off with Xev. That would be totally gross. I personally would like to see a real twist; something you would never expect, but if the shot the Moderators alluded to in their report is the ending; I know how it ends.
So, if you could (like other shows are doing now), how would you end LEXX; write an alternate ending section but remember this is LEXX not a continuation of Brigadoom only or a prequel of insect wars. Use from the beginning movies up to what you know. We all have a feel for Mr. Donovan’s arc now through The Game so finish it, but the kicker is; you got to use the Bean’s Commandments; the list of what they were not going to do; and you know that this show does not include over syrupy endings. It’s LEXX!!!
Also remember the ending has to fit; it can’t change what has been done. You know, no new characters or implications of arcs or relationships that were not central to the main story. Leaving the characters intact as well as the Bean’s Commandments; what’s the ending?
Tough at first glance, huh?
Anyway, that’s all I got to say for now.
Oh, by the way, I started watching Lexx after the movies; because it was a satire; it took all the stuff you loved in Star Wars and trashed it all; the romance the resistance to an evil force, etc… and spoofed it entirely and then created a totally unique story and ran with it. In my opinion it’s all good, even “fillers”. How many shows nowadays do you see them talk about this stuff? It’s not as common as it used to be. How many shows have their objective so clear as in they blow up stuff and tried to get laid; but somehow along the way in reaching these simple objectives they
went through not only Heaven and Hell but much much more.
