quote[quote] As I’ve said before, I don’t understand the Lexx fans who insist on taking the story seriously. From the very beginning when His Shadow states that the Brunnen-G shall be punished for being enlightened, I could take none of it seriously! The holographic trials, the nose-launched bug bomb, cluster lizards eating boy scouts. C’MON! None of it can be taken seriously! [/quote]
The difference is whether or not the show takes ITSELF seriously. Certainly there were funny parts throughout season one and two, but they were almost always done with a straight face. Deadpan humor, it’s called. It seems to me that season 4 does not take itself seriously nearly as often.
While the show takes itself seriously, I can laugh at the funny parts, and still take the serious parts seriously. But when the show stops taking ITSELF seriously, I find it harder to do the same.
You’re saying we shouldn’t take any of it seriously? That it should all simply be viewed as a big joke? I find that hard to do. There are certain parts of Lexx that seem very, very serious to me… and I like it that way!

quote[quote] That can’t be true, because the magazine Moss showed the Lexx crew had stylized images of a man, woman, and children just like terran humans (no roots or anything). [/quote]
Hmmm, that is a puzzler, since all the people growing in the field looked like adults. Yet, my gut still tells me that Moss’s fantasy was closer to Potataho reality than many realize.
This would be a good question to ask the Beans. When do you think we can snag somebody from the show for another chat?
