Re:Lexx Forum Ideas for DC 2004
How about a topic that focuses more on the content of the show? The show is over (for the moment at least) and I think that it might be nice to look at the work as it stands.
Some topics that might get people talking, esp. if clips of the show can be shown:
1) Lexx: Homophobic or Homoerotic?
2) Lexx: Is it funny or just weird? In a review for the last episode TV guide criticized the show for not taking itself seriously enough. Is this a fair criticism, or an example of a mainstream critic not “getting” the show?
3) Philosophy in the dark zone: What is the nature of evil on Lexx?
OR Would you toss your friend off of a moving Gondola over a lake of fire?
New edit:
I had another idea that might help bring in people attending the convention who are not necessarily lexxphiles– a discussion of the effects, with a screening (if possible) of one of the “making of” segments.
One of the things that really sets the look of Lexx apart was the use of extensive cgi to create a world for the characters to inhabit. How did they do it? I know that all of us die hard fans have most of the Dvd’s with the making of S3 for example, but a lot of people from a wider scifi audience might be interested in viewing a making of segment– especially if expenses and logistics conspire to prevent the stars of the show from making an appearance this year. 😥
