Lexx is DEAD
I really wanted to stay out of this forum; but I do have to say something to support Trini T in the fact that it is changing; the fandom base I mean.
It seems this show seemed to have been a kind of fluke; something kicked around in the large buggy brain of the hallowed bean of PD. Networking as must happen if you are in the “BIZ” he probably sold it to some backer; pulled together some pals and came up with this show.
The popularity i think caught them by surprise, though I don’t understand that; Mr. D made quality work before; sooner or later he would have got mass appeal down right and already he knows how critics work at this particular time. What is that line; “keep your friends close,
but your enemies closer; yeah that dance with critics.
though I appreciate what founding LEXX fans have done for this show, there are still a few of us around that are not such as interested in the physicality of the actors of the show- which played a part to the appeal- but feel that there was a story to these tales of the parallel universes. Because there was 3 1/2 main characters and they worked hard to build them, to “flesh them out” the resolution of the conflict of just one character does not a complete story make.
Everybody knows(some turkey and some mistletoe) [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] that a lot of the fans are drawn to the idea of Kai and the physique of MM as well as Ms. Seeburg. When he died, they went with him and stopped supporting and posting, etc… There was also the big conflict with season 2 to 3 and now #4.
I watched LEXX because it is not the same sci-fi drivel; it was not afraid to get down and dirty and pushed buttons. I don’t neccessarily agree with all of it but ya got to go with its it freshness.
And that’s why it ended because it’s a big amount of cash and it seems ideas were running thin.
They went out on there terms and I respect that; they did not milk LEXX for every penny nor did they milk us dry; (they let the dealers do that) which is something that should have been handled by pros a few years back; then fans and SS, AA everyone would have been happy campers and there would have been no deficit of a mill.
These are only my opinions; take or leave them; the show is done and hindsight is always the best. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
