That’s what I was getting at in my first post on this thread. I’ve been wondering about that for a while and [i]4.16 Moss[/i] really made me think about it.
If Bunny lost the key while having sex with Priest in [i]4.13 769[/i], then [b]why didn’t the key go into Priest?[/b]
[img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]Series IV is the last. No plans at all for a series V.
There are vague rumors of the possibility of maybe a spin-off. But that’s all I’ve heard. I haven’t heard of any substantial talk about any such spin-off.

If your response to a post can be best expressed in the form of a song or poem, then by all means share! If you’re curious about a song someone has posted, there may be a chance you can find the mp3 somewhere on the internet. I’m not sure, but I think I’m the one who started posting song lyrics around here. I suppose it’s been done elsewhere, it seems natural.

At the time the FBI came knocking on his door, he was living in Manhattan. He didn’t move to Sri Lanka until the mid 50’s.
That’s really interesting! Can you tell me which book that preface appears? I just might have it. My father would be very interested in such anecdotes.
My favorite geek! I still haven’t sent off for his autograph yet!

I will say this right now. I will [i]never[/i], [b]ever[/b] come down on any user for a first-time infraction of a rule that was [b]CLEARLY[/b] not intended to be an infraction. Sparkla was following the absolute letter of the law without [i]any[/i] regard for context. If such legal practices were carried out in a real government, then such a government would not be simply viewed as repressive but as viscious and fascist. I will always remember Sparkla’s example of what [i]not[/i] to do when you’re a moderator. Five years of being a world-weary moderator is not an excuse.
[img]images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img]As for the frustrations of being a mod here, I think my first experience with a troll turned out okay. I played “good cop, bad cop” with bonnee and I think it worked. At the end, he sent me email thanking me for my support! LOL!
[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]Maybe my indignant attitude comes from the fact that both my brothers and my father have law degrees. And my mother was a theater director and knew how to boss people around! Something must have rubbed off onto me…
[img]images/smiles/icon_redface.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]Sorry about the rant, folks…

Gotta special man well I can understand
Uptown, downtown everybody’s getting down
Say uptown say downtown
Well I’ve missed my bus I know I’m late

I’m gonna walk to work fifteen blocks
I already got a hole in my socks
Go ahead and laugh that’s okay
Cause what I really wanna say
I got bad feet my corns hurt
To top it off I’m lost for work
Let me tell you what I say
When I’m dealing with the funky sidewalk
Let me show you how to walk
When I gotta do my funky walk
Let me tell you what I say
When I’m dealing with the funky sidewalk
I say sssssssss-sugar(Rep with children)
Bip, bomp, bam alakazam
But only when you’re grooving
With the Double Dutch Man
Put on your skates don’t forget your rope
Cause I know I’m gonna see you

I tend to think it might be true, since during WWII, he was questioned by the FBI about a story he wrote that described the atomic bomb in close detail (before those details were ever made public).
Well, it just so happens that my father is an expert in atomic bomb history. I asked him if this was true, but he couldn’t recall reading about anything like that. There was one instance where an article was published in [i]Time[/i] or [i]Life[/i] (or some such news magazine) that described the theory of an atomic bomb. [This was during WWII.] That incident caused alot of worry behind closed doors, but nothing came of it.
But my dad asked me, “Isn’t he a British author?” I said, “Yes and later he moved to Sri Lanka.” This made him doubt that the FBI would question him. Maybe he was questioned by the British government?
It’s a story I haven’t heard before, that’s for sure.

You probably haven’t seen her anywhere else other than [i]MST3K[/i]. She’s mainly a writer.
[img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]Maybe I could scan a picture of a troll from an old [i]Monster Manual[/i] and convert it into a little emoticon? Someone tell me if I should take the time to try this.
Series I: Supernova
Series II: White Trash
Series III: Girltown
Series IV: Texx LexxBut none of these are bad episodes! You made me choose! I actually really like all the episodes I’ve listed above!

[b][i]”That sounds like my buddy, Ol’ Kentucky Shark, of Kentucky Nightmare Talkshow Liquor Corporation! Once I made a documentary about sharks and why they explode. I made it for public television, but they told me it was stupid and grossly inaccurate. Why do sharks explode? This is because sometimes their brains and sexual organs are made out of M-80’s. Sometimes, to attract mates, a shark will explode. And sometimes they explode just to attract giant killer bees.”[/i][/b](Just so you know, I’m kidding with you DT!)
[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]Those things look cute! But let me guess… they shoot death-rays from their eyes, right? LOL!
[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]Yes! I saw that cartoon too! I was channel-surfing when I spotted it. I said to myself, “I recognize that artwork! Where have I seen it? Was it on [i]Dahria[/i]? No, though the line quality and animation is somewhat similar…” It wasn’t until the end when I saw Dorkin’s credit that I recognized it all. It’s brilliant. I’m so happy that [i]Dork[/i] has made it to television! It was a pleasant suprise for me. Dorkin was starting to scare me with his depressing stories in recent [i]Dork[/i] comics.
My favorite character has to be the little sister with the voodoo dolly! I wonder if we’ll get to see the serialkiller-family sitcom… or was it on there and I missed it?
I was floored when he made that Ray Dennis Steckler reference. A good follow-up question would have been, “What was Ray’s stage name in that same movie?” The episode of [i]MST3K[/i] featuring that movie, [i]The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies[/i] has to be one of my favorites. (“Wendy Carlos as Isabella Duncan in [i]Glenn or Glenda[/i]!”)It is the worst tribute to [i]The Cabinet of Dr. Calligari[/i] I have ever seen!
It’s a show for sad geezers everywhere!
Well, the Lexx [i]is[/i] 4,000 years old! Maybe he’s just wearing out. Then again, eating on an empty stomach can give you indigestion. Maybe he’ll just need to be burped. *BURP* There goes Iceland!
Anybody know where I can find a pair of Australian tank commander boots? (Actually, I’m dead serious! It’s the same type of boots worn by young Obi-Wan and Tank Girl!)

I believe the technical term is [i]cranial-rectal inversion[/i].
BTW, I think [i]The Chronicle[/i] is somewhat amusing. It’s sort of like a modern, hip version of [i]Kolchak: The Night Stalker[/i]. Or maybe I just think that the brunette with the ice-blue eyes is cute. Yeah, on second thought, that’s probably all it is.

Why, thank you!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]When I saw the preview for the next episode with Xev and Bunny… my head almost exploded! It’s the episode I’ve been waiting for! It’s like what Tom Servo (on [i]MST3K[/i]) would say during any scene involving women in their underwear: [i]”YES! THANK YOU, MOVIE! OH!”[/i]
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Actually, I was going on the assumption that the “beans” as we know them would not be working on any [i]Lexx[/i] spin-off. In fact, it would certainly be produced by a different company with different writers, directors, etc.
I’d like to dream about a spin-off, but I’d also want to think realisticly.
But if there’s no Xev, forget it! No way! Heeheehee!

yes, it could be a spin-off with Stan and Kai, even without MM, because why could’nt they regenerate him into a different body, ala Zev/Xev…What would you think about that?? And just for conversation, what actor do you think could play that part?
And really pull it off…he has to be good-looking and know how to play dead. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
[i][b]I[/b][/i] say (and this is just me) that [b]Prince[/b] would make a good character replacement for Kai. I don’t mean turn him into an undead assassin, just simply have Prince replace Kai as a crewmember of the Lexx. I think having Stan, Xev, and Prince cruising the Dark Zone on the Lexx could be an interesting spin-off show. And why not have Priest and Bunny along too? It would be a scream!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Actually, DT, I was totally kidding about how you should be burned at the stake as a sci-fi heretic for not noting the famous roles that Rutger Hauer and Tim Curry portrayed in [i]Blade Runner[/i] and [i]The Rocky Horror Picture Show[/i] (respectively) in your report. I should have said something wittier like, “You have a choice for your form of execution, heretic! Either burned at the stake in Salem town square, left out in the desert as an offering to Shai-hulud, report to the neighborhood disintigration chamber, processed for soylent green, or be fed to the protein bank!” That would have been a bit more sci-fi oriented!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]And also forgot to commend you for your research.
[img]images/smiles/icon_redface.gif[/img]I want to buy everything that Xenia Seeburg has ever done on DVD! Her movies, TV episodes, and music videos! Wah!
[img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img]I wish I had more to say! I haven’t seen very many episodes. About the only opinion I have is that I think the girl who plays Andromeda is cute!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]It seems like an okay show. I haven’t seen very many episodes. I try to watch it when I can remember.
Judean People’s Front vs People’s Front of Judea… SPLITTERS!!!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Steven Mchattie was great! I think he did a better job than his work in [i]2.3 Lyekka[/i]. The ending was priceless. Yet again, our heroes merely duck for cover while the mainiacs around them kill eachother. And the music that they play as they made their getaway was cool! Which track was that from the soundtrack CDs?
I’m not sure, but was Kai’s performance art piece playing in the background on television at one point?
[img]images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]Something that’s been bugging me since even as long ago as the end of series III, I’ve been wondering if Prince is not that bad of a bad guy. Of all the things that fans have been theorizing about (cycle of time, Lyekka is the source of the carrot probes, etc.), I feel like I’m the only one theorizing that Prince is actually a good guy. Somehow. The only thing I can say as proof is that I don’t recall him actually causing harm to anyone. His henchmen always do it for him.
[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]If Priest thinks Bunny has the key, [i]why doesn’t he take the key himself?[/i] Maybe he has a supernatural nature like Prince. If Prince is the Devil then maybe Priest is God? ROFL!
[img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]Looks like next episode is lunchtime for Lexx, Dutch-style!

As I understand it from interviews and recent moderator trip up to Nova Scotia, all of the cast and crew of [i]Lexx[/i] had a really good time!

Please – I don’t come here to make friends or enemies: simply to discuss ideas with people willing to discuss them with me. I have a healthy respect for both of your minds, and hope that our respective personalities can articlate and share a common ground (to argue on).
You brought up a good point. Me and many others came here to discuss ideas AND make friends. That is why it seems somewhat clique-ish here. SadBoard is not a terribly formal environment. It’s less like a debate club and more like a pub, tavern, or roadhouse. At least that’s the impression I get.
One thing that gets in the way is the fundamental nature of message boards. It’s not easy to discern the tone of a message simply by reading text. I think this is something that frequently trips up DalekTek790.
I’d say more, but I think others might be posting messages as I type this…

And I can tell you’re out to cause more trouble Bonnee, you are still refering to Flamegrape as flamethrower, even after he offered an olive branch, you don’t fool me, I’ve come across your type before, you are just a nasty piece of work who doesn’t belong here.
And if you’re reading this Saddy, maybe you should consider putting your moderators first and not allow FX or any other moderators ability to come into question.

LOL, FX. Maybe you should have just said, “No soup for you! Come back one year!”
In all seriousness, bonnee, I enjoyed reading your posts before this bickering began. I’m not sure exactly how or when the arguements got out of hand. It doesn’t really matter anymore.
So okay, I’ve turned off my “Flame-thrower”, LOL! If you say this ought to end, then I agree.
BTW, I enjoyed the song-sparring far more than flinging nasty insults.
Sorry, bonnee.
Sorry, lily.
Sorry, tracey.
Sorry, dgk.
Thanks, Praxilla.
[img]images/smiles/icon_redface.gif[/img]It was premature of me to presume that bonnee was up to something. Since he posted under other usernames before, it was easy to assume that he has done it again.
You are right, dgk. And for the record, I’m not a moderator of the [i]Lexx[/i] discussion forums. I don’t really have any say what goes on here.
Please just let it go, everyone.
