Canada, a few more in Australia, a few more
in New Zealand, England, Lithuania, Spain…The American sales made them rethink, but
the US Sci Fi wound up burning through the
first three seasons in a relatively short
time.It wasn’t until they got a commitment for
a fourth season that they started thinking
about doing a book or books again, and hired a licensing agent.Ahhh, but I forget myself. Actually, there
were LEXX books, both planned and realized.
These came from the movies, apparently there
were two german language LEXX novels written,
fairly crappy from what I’ve heard, and
essentially novelisations of the first season
movies.Paul Donovan also planned and might have had
a real publishing opportunity to write a LEXX novel. I don’t know too much about it, I believe that it was planned to take place
during the ancient Insect Wars.
Actually, I wasn’t talking about novelizations so much as supplements. Something to [i]Lexx[/i] as “The Star Wars Technical Journal” is to [i]Star Wars[/i], or “The Star Trek Compendium” is to [i]Star Trek[/i], or “Doctor Who: The Eighties” is to [i]Doctor Who[/i]. Y’know, like a compendium of information on the making of the show or background details. [i]Lexx[/i] is really deserving of a few books like that.
An original [i]Lexx[/i] novel would be good, though, especially if it has INSECTS. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I can’t even do that. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] I’m not very sociable, especially in settings like that where the people I see are total strangers. Heck, I’m scared just to say hi when I pass someone I know on the street (unless they say hi to me first [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] ).
