Star Trek – Season 3 – #168 “Tin Man”
Tam Elbrun, a Betazoid, is being transported by the crew of the Enterprise to meet with an alien intelligence, by the name of Gomtuu, who just so happens to resemble an organic spaceship. This organic spaceship has an energy wave that easily wipes out two Romulan Warbirds.
Question?? who was first Lexx, Gomtuu, or Moya? And then there are the last four letters of Tam’s last name. Hmmmmmmm…..
I know – I think too much
Gotuu was first. Lexx and Farscape have only had 3 full seasons.

Okay, so who wins second place? Was Lexx in production before Farscape? Since it’s clear that an organic spaceship was not an original idea, which of the last two series mentioned, borrowed that idea? Just curious……..

Well, LEXX was made and first realeased 1995/6 so I think it probably came before Farscape.

And before that there was the Axos, a living spacwship that can detatch parts of itself for “crew,” which appeared in the 1972 Doctor Who episode The Claws of Axos. The T.A.R.D.I.S. itself was eventually revealed to have organic components, too.
And there was probably something before that. Most of the sci-fi concepts in use today have a long history.

Whovian, Froudian, Lexxian, etc.I’ve noticed this crossing over too, but I have to say that Farscape is shameless about it. In the last episode I watched, they used the open mouth design of the cluster lizards for a transdeminsional serpent. And a new character they introduced had a scream that was very Xev-like cluster lizard-y. This character also has hair that turns bright red, looking like Xev’s season 2 hair.
At least wait ten years people! Maybe then the similarities won’t be so noticeable! Sorry, it just really bugged me. I know that ideas are built on other things, but Farscape is getting ridiculous!

i disagree, most respectfully mercury, it’s more traditional space opera a la star trek but it is more fun especially crichton’s pop culture references, it has its place but it is definitely not as….different…as lexx but there is room for both! did you read valdron’s most excellent lexx meets farscape stories? i think you can still find them and chuckle on chencha’s site, give it a try you’ll like it and laugh at both series
