Should LEXX stop after season 4?
I really really hope it doesn’t end! Fair point about shows that overrun and that, but all the other shows like Star Trek, Buffy and so on (and don’t get offended, now), are almost always formulaic, not really bringing anything new with each season. In season 1 Lexx was a strange hybrid of sci-fi and fantasy, the show structured round 1 hour-plus movies; season 2 seemed more sci-fi to me, and about as ‘normal’ as Lexx will ever get, with each episode being a seperate story; season 3 spun the fantasy-o-meter all the way to the top, with a twin set of bizarre, almost magical afterlife planets, and was structured around one continuous story thread. And with season 4 apparently set on modern day Earth, you can see that each series has put a new spin on the original premise. So I don’t see how it could possibly get boring, not for a few more seasons anyway.
I think a far more pressing concern is Mike McManus turning all wrinkly.
