Which Spin-Off would you prefer?
WOW!!! I just read all the above posts (rather quickly) and was struck with the fact that, if you combine alot of these ideas, you guys already have a great story going!I HAVE to throw in my 2 cents worth…this is just too good to pass up!I know it won’t appeal to some of you, it will gag a few,and be sacrilegious to at least three of you, but here goes….
#1-It should be movie format in the manner of IWHS(dark,fast-paced,edgy)
#2-It MUST appeal to a broader based viewing sector,yet retain familiar themes and hardcore “original Lexx” references.
#3-Kai should remain dead,but flashbacks would be an integral part of understanding the story.
#4-The cycles of time would figure prominently
O.K.- LET’S BEGIN…..
(remember, I am combining above posted ideas and adding my own)
Xev,Stan,790 in L.Lexx and The Noah and crew encounter another “cosmic whatever” which sends them BACK through the cycles of time and into the middle of the Insect Wars.Prince(for whatever reason) realizes this immediatly-the crew of L.Lexx do not.Prince does NOT want them to know,either.He is afraid they will do something to alter the future,placing him in a much less desirable position(after all,things could be a lot worse for him!)Of course his primary goal is to obtain L.Lexx and to GET OUT OF THE PAST(he seems to know something.)But…back on L.Lexx they pick up a distress signal from a damaged craft,and find a man barely conscious and badly(but not mortally)wounded.They take him aboard and find out he is……Kraito of the Brunnin-G, and things are not going well for humanity against the insects.Even the Brunnin-G are losing hope.Stan and Xev are shocked to realize where they are(790 knew the whole time-he’s still the same little sh*t).They take Kraito back to Brunnis-a Brunnis at the height of its power and glory(this is where the Kai flashbacks would occur,and would be extremely emotional.)Stan and Xev convince the Brunnin-G they are from a future cycle of time and they know the insects can be defeated.Since this is a viril,strong,heroic Brunnin-G civilization(Kai was definately a throwback to his way-earlier ancestors)they eagerly rally behind Stan and Xev. L.Lexx is now fully grown and a worthy adversary of the “bad” Insects!Stan,Xev and Kraito board the Lexx and lead the others to battle!Of course, they are victorious!Then (of course),Xev decides to try to alter the future and save the Brunnin-G culture…she also ponders saving Kai from his first “death”,etc.etc.etc.The Noah would be weaving in and out of this…I’ll leave that to some other inspired being!
