I haven’t seen Season4 yet since I live in sweden. Hell, I haven’t even seen Season3!
I have read the reviews from episodes 4.1-4.5 and I was wondering about the carrot-drones. I didn’t get any clues of what they were.Does anyone here has an explaination or even an idea of what they MIGHT be?
Is there anywhere I can find some large vidcap picture of the drones?
Does they really look like carrots, or is that just a joke about their coneshaped “bodies”?They are parasitic cyborg drones from beyond the rim of the Milky Way. They appear to be based on Insect technology.
They are composed of approximately 20 cm long organic-looking tusken red conical bodies with a propulsion unit and at the wide end and four 30 cm long silver double-jointed arthropoid mechanical legs situated around an optical sensor and propulsion unit.
They are parasitic. They bore into the flesh of their terran victims, eventually taking over their brains and turning them into cybernetic zombies.
They do look vaguely like carrots, but more like mosquitoes or spiders.

Whovian, Froudian, Lexxian, etc.the carrot drones actually penetrate the perineums, if not the anus'(ani?!) of their victims…they move like insects with long insectile metallic arms, but other than that, dalektek is stating things as fact which have not been confirmed…what we did hear on the xevivor episode was that they are probes looking for food sources/planets for an as yet unnamed group/entity…the victims do become zombies, cybernetic or not, but the little guys basically look like carrots to everyone except dt, and in fact were made quite hostile by the site of people putting carrots into a blender…welcome to our happy little board [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img], when are you going to get season 3? season 4 is a blast and much lighter than season 3, but i think having seen season 3 is helpful background for season 4…love fx

Hello Theli, nice to see someone from Sweden on the board and you are most welcome, especially if you’ve come with a good recipe for meatballs!!!
I haven’t seen S4 either, as I’m from the UK, and our Sci-Fi channel is a joke!!!
What I can ascertain is that these drones do seem to be insect in nature, but their intentions have not been made clear as of yet.
Oh, and like FX said, DT’s views are his own, and even though his idea’s for the best part are interesting, I would strongly advise you to take them at face value, as he sometimes believe’s that he is speaking for the board with his idea’s.
Have fun here, and I look forward to hearing you’re views on S3 or even some from the previous seasons and movies, as you and I are not as fortunate as our American friends…god they get everything before us, ah well, at least they are nice enough to let us poor third worlder’s in on what’s happening in Lexx S4!!!
Squishy——————
Annoyed Squishyhehe Theli yes they are actually walking carrots!!! Insane huh!!
I could be wrong but I think 790 guided them here from the mother ship. I kinda remembering him having some sick smile on his face and sending a signal to them. Which of course hurts my theory that this is time starting over since there is extremely evolved spaceship out there!
They are here apparantly to find suitable and tasty forms of food for the mothership but thats been said [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Obviously some writer for the show had a bad incident with a carrot [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
As for not being able to see Season4 in Europe, that really sucks for you guys. Although the Lexx community is very impressive. Its rare you find a series with so many devoted fans that tend to watch the episodes over and over and over [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Also its a tribute to the writers and actors for keeping the series arc moving along and rarely to never gets stagnated. Even the few off-plot/arc episodes like Lafftrak are fine pieces of science fiction as well as ironic and comedic.
There’s an episode later this season called Bad Carrot or something like that [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Im sure the origin of these little ass-carrots from outer space will be revealed in full then [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
Nice to see you here [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

I don’t think that your theory of a evolved
spaceship put’s your theory out of whack, somehow Lexx had turned up thousands of years later into Earth’s history, how that happened I’m not sure, but somebody mentioned Lexx in the 1920’s and now they are in the 21st century.
Somehow time on the Lexx must have been warped in some way, so that every second on the Lexx meant that thousand’s of year’s passed on Earth (but explaining that does prove difficult), however, if thousand’s of year’s had passed then it could be that other civilization from other galaxy’s were also coming about (insect race???).
I still strongly believe that this is what has happened, mainly due to the time prophet’s indication of time being in a circle, and like I said before I think we are in for a twist in the tale, where the crew are unwittingly shaping their own future’s!!!

Annoyed SquishyWell another thing I thought of that helps too is that the crew were on Fire and Water for over 4000 years in orbit. During which would of taken place after the destruction of the Light universe.
Some religions including Judism I believe argue that the world was created roughly 5000-6000 years ago. I could most certainly be wrong tho if any more familiar with the faith can help me out here.

I think you may have got that mixed up, they didn’t orbit Fire and Water for 4000 years, they were in stasis for that time prior to arriving at Fire and Water.
Besides I don’t think that the time they spent at Fire and Water has any impact on Earth’s time frame, as either the planet had not been created or they were no people on it, until the souls arrived there.
I would go with the planet being there with no people before Fire and Water was destroyed, and that Earth had no life in human form, but had your dinosaurs and other life forms.
It would explain the missing link if Mr D is suggesting that the human race were just deposited on there from Fire and Water.

Annoyed SquishyWhat is actually going to happen is that Zev and Stan accidentally travel back in time to prehistoric earth and found a whole new species that, due to clsuter lizard DNA, out competes the local ape-descended species..

Doh, says Im not registered so name might come out funny over here
<—-Hmm I might be confused then, Ill check on over at the reviews since I havent seen a lot of season 3 in a year [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img]
I thought in 3.1 Prince explains that the Lexx was in orbit a very long time and that they assumed they were a comet or something.
Again, I wish I had all of S3!! [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
It’s beginning to look like the entire member database has been wiped out [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img]

You’re right. That’s exactly what Prince said.

[b]Cat: It’s beginning to look like the entire member database has been wiped out [/b]Yeah, I had to register again. What’s goin’ on?
I’m not sure.. but everything seems to be back to normal now – my admin privs came back and I could do a rebuild to get the Bab5 forum back. I don’t know if Sad popped in and fixed something or it just fixed itself, but at least some of the member accounts have returned, where they were all showing as unregistered earlier.

Everything I said was a fact. I said they [b]appear[/b] to be based on Insect technology. I didn’t say they were for sure.
By the way, I’m Lee Sherman, the forum’s resident science geek. Welcome to the Dark Zone…er, I mean SadBoard.

Hi Theli. Sorry about S4, how far along are you in season 2?
There are spoilers posted on the episode forum every week, too.
They look like carrots with mechanical legs. Definitly related to carrots. I think the beans’ parents’ musta made them eat their carrots one too many times [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
Squish; The 1920’s are not mentioned at all in S4. Anyway, Lexx is full of scientific inaccuricies (not at all a bad thing) so don’t worry about how it got to present day (near future) earth.

I say they’re parasitic because they enter human bodies and use them to their advantage. I say they’re cyborgs because the legs are smooth and shiny like metal and the abdomens are nonreflective and uneven in texture like living tissue. I say they come from beyond the Milky Way because the object at the beginning of [i]Little Blue Planet[/i] did and circumstantial evidence links it to the drones.

[b]They appear to be based on Insect technology.[/b]
Saying they appear to be Insect, that’s not the same as saying they are Insect. They remind me of insects because they walk on legs that look like those of arthropods and they have an abdomen jutting out of their midsection. Insect-based whould mean the Insect civilization itself, an offshoot of the Insects such as the Divine Order, or a race using Insect technology such as the Brunnen-G.

That was just a physical description. Tusken red is the closest color I can find to what the conical parts look like. I say they have propulsion units on the part with the eye because in [i]Texx Lexx[/i] we saw them moving the opposite direction of where the eye was (that is, cones forward), and they couldn’t be just moving by inertia since some are seen to turn against the gravity exerted by the Lexx.
quote:
[b]They are parasitic.[/b]
That was a cut & paste error. I end up saying twice that they’re parasitic.
quote:
[b]They bore into the flesh of their terran victims, eventually taking over their brains and turning them into cybernetic zombies. [/b]
The entry into hosts was shown in [i]P4X[/i] and [i]Xevivor[/i]. In [i]Xevivor[/i] we also say one of their optical sensors peeking out of a hole in the skull of an enteched victim. Farley Cuckle referred to them as both “cyborgs” and “zombies.” I think the classification and simile are valid.
quote:
[b]They do look vaguely like carrots, but more like mosquitoes or spiders.[/b]
I say that because when I first saw them in [i]P4X[/i], I was immediately reminded of plant lice (because of the way they carry their abdomens), only with fewer legs. I later compared them with other arthropods, and found them fairly similar to mosquitoes and spiders in general build. Somebody referred to them as carrots before we got a good look at them onscreen. In the close up of them flying at the beginning of [i]P4X[/i] I noticed some similarity bewtween their abdomens and carrots, but I don’t think it is overwhelming.
There, I’ve explained how everything I said was facts based on the episodes. Now, I trust there shall be no more vague allegations of inaccuracies.
