Reviving Lexx from Midsummer’s Nightmare…
Bonee, either you secrete a worthless comment or you babble incomprehensible philosophical double-talk. I still don’t understand exactly what you don’t like about [i]Midsummer Nightmare[/i] and the rest of the 4th season. Can you at least state the one big thing that you dislike about the fourth season?
And you, Grendell, you’re establishing expectations about a show that’s already written, over, and done with. As I explained in another thread, this kind of talk doesn’t help you enjoy the show. None of the things that you want to happen will occur. And because they won’t occur, you’ll dislike this season more and more.
You guys want a science-fiction show and you feel you’re not getting one anymore. There was not that much “science” in the show in the first place! It’s always been about goofy sh|t that happens in space. Well, now it’s goofy sh|t that happens on Earth!
If the fourth season wasn’t on Earth and Oberon was, oh say for instance, Mentor the space wizard. And instead of turning Kai into a singing tree, he turns him into singing rock crystals. Same story, same lines (essentially), but different setting and characters. I bet you would have thought it was cool then… if only it was in outer space and not on Earth.
It kind of reminds me of [i]Galactica 1980[/i]. I was expecting a really cool sequel to the original [i]Battlestar Galactica[/i]. They find Earth and they should have teamed up with the Earthlings and defeated the Cylons once and for all. But no! It turned out to be one of the biggest jokes of science-fiction history! The inherent expectation of the monumental meeting with the “lost tribe of mankind” was it’s downfall. We all expected something epic and we didn’t get it at all, not by a long shot.
But the fourth season of [i]Lexx[/i] is not like that. There were no inherent expectations about what is supposed to happen when they visit Earth. But that didn’t stop many here at SadBoard from making up theories about “cycles of time”, etc.
Look, all I’m saying is that you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Try loosening up a bit. I recommend frop.

And what you got was a vaporized Disney World and a charred alligator falling *slplat* on the hood of your car.
…and I’m laughing like I’ve never laughed before!
