I pretty much agree with most of the stuff said already.
I like each of the series, each has its own strengths. Lexx at its best is a combination of comedy, drama and sexiness… I like that.
Series 3 did seem a tad overly serious though, but it was more breathtaking and epic than the previous series so it was all balanced, all good.
I like the idea that lots of things within each episode are meaningful, whereby that message is hidden, subtle, will be revealed later (ie. in series 4) or otherwise. Further exploration of characters and themes from series 2 and 1 (and obviously 3) would be great for series 4.
Just some random thoughts: the insect wars, the end of the Lexx and the end of (two) universe(s) – how did the ending of the light universe effect the dark zone?, the circle of time (perhaps they escaped the cycle by escaping the end of the light zone in 2.20), the final judgement of stan (I like the idea of evil Stan too, the picture on this page [url=http://www.blackstar.co.uk/zone/lexx/3]http://www.blackstar.co.uk/zone/lexx/3[/url] is very cool, from The Net I think) – Stan as a sort of Macbeth??, umm that garbage planet seen in series 1 (3.0)… I dont know where the series is finally heading but those are some things that could be cool.
Confining the action to Earth until the end of series 4, I dont know how that would work for all 24 episodes. Hmm. Perhaps they can all meet up somewhere like in Hitch Hikers Guide “The Bar At the end of the universe” or whatever it was 😛
As long as it doesn’t stray too far from what we’ve seen in Lexx so far and does not get predictable and doesn’t become a re-hash of episodes (Though I like the idea of ‘sequel’ episodes – where the original episode is enhanced by the sequel not rehashed)… oh god I hope it is not dulled down or anything for Sci-Fi US, please no. Make edited/non-edited versions or something for the love of god, don’t deny us seeing something that those crazy Beans want us to see.
Oh, and I’d love to see a memory pop up from Kai or something of the time prophet predicting something else… I dont know how that would work, but established things from series 1 and 2 are really high on the list of things I’d love to see in series 4.
