Anyone have a list of the differences between “The Net” and “The Web”.
Which do you think was the better episode?
Anyone know the story behind the 2 episodes being basically the same episode?

Per Chris Bould – Director.
In regard to the net and the web, a lot of viewers didn’t think the differences were great enough between the two to merit an entire second episode. Did you have any say in the format the two episodes took?Those two were done at a difficult time in the production of Lexx. Then, a great friend of mine, Norman Denver, was producing the show. It was at the very end of the season, and time and money were running out. They were the “bottle-neck” shows. Where usually I had eight days for an episode, I only had nine days for both of these. It was Norman who “asked me if I minded doing this ludicrous schedule”. Of course, I said yes.
If you had the chance to change anything about these two episodes, what would you have done differently to make the differences in the two episodes more dramatic?
Oh, I don’t know. *chuckle* Asked for more money? A guest star? Anything would have helped. None of those were possible due to the time and budget constraints. Even a little more time to explain the differences in the story a little better might have helped.
I really dislike those episodes…
I waited a whole week for a new episode and what do I see???
nuthin new..well, not much new..
XEV fur alle!!!
Well I remeber the first time I saw them, When the episode started I was like…”What?!?” then as it ended it was more of an indigant, “Hey!”
I know this could be wacko, but the net (or the web?) was around the second lexx ep I ever saw, and I am convinced that sci-fi channel usa actually showed an amalgam of the two episodes. They only showed “one” of them (the net?) and tacked on the ending from the other, where Kai askes Xev if he should kill stan because they don’t have much time anyway. Somehow, I remember this combined episode as being better than the two seperate eps which I have now seen on DVD. When I first saw it on sci-fi, it remained one of my fave episodes. I too was disappointed with the two separate episodes. The little bit of editing at the end, to give the story an ending after one episode really makes it pretty good. (maybe more was edited together for us viewing, i don’t know).
The episode(s) has good effects, and I think an interesting plot. It just doesn’t work split up.
