Hey, I’ll consider myself lucky if I can chat with her about UFOs, the Conspiracy, Slack, and “Bob.”

Yeah, right! As [b]if[/b] that’s gonna happen!
[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]Okay, HDS, if you mean what you said over at Lexx.Com, I think I can throw in on a carpool to Orlando. You talked me into it.
[img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]Do you mean the 468 x 60 banners that appear randomly at the top of the pages? I’ll see what I can do. Do you have a priority list of things that need links?
Also, can I please, please, please use a little Flash animation if I promise to keep the file size down? I won’t use it in every case. Maybe a still pic is best. Or maybe a simple GIF animation.
Here is my Xev picture archive:

I never picked up on the idea that Oberon was King and that Prince was trying to take his place. No, I didn’t pick up on that. That’s a really, really good point.
But what was obvious to me when I first saw [i]A Midsummer’s Nightmare[/i] was that Oberon was ruler of Earth. He ruled planet Earth in a manner similar to the way Prince ruled planet Fire. I had repeatedly tried to point this out to people.
The next question is, “Who ruled planet Water?” Maybe the answer is simple. No one ruled planet Water because it was a paradise where no one ruled over anybody else. Everyone there was happy and got along fine with everyone and everything.

Great material for a fifth season. Maybe Oberon could return in a fifth season or a spin-off? He said he liked bunnies. Maybe he would take a liking to Bunny?
The possibilities are endless.
The big question I have about [i]The Game[/i] is: Where was Lyekka on the chess board? Most of the other major characters from past and present seasons were there. I think she would have made a good black bishop. But the Time Prophet was the black bishop. The point is moot, but still interesting.
Told ya so.
I told you that [i]Magic Baby[/i] and [i]A Midsummer’s Nightmare[/i] were two of the most important episodes in the fourth season.
But no, most people got hung up on the overt gay humor to notice.
Oh, and then there was the puppet show. As it turns out, the Druids were followers of the [b]one true religeon[/b]. Their legends (in the universe of the [i]Lexx[/i] series) explicitly describe the arrival of a Red Fool, a Dark Man, and the Dead One.
I was telling you guys this at DragonCon, too!
[b]Told
ya
so.[/b]
But I have to admit, I didn’t notice the bit about Prince wanting to be King. Good one, LexxLurker. [b]Very[/b] good one.

I think it was because he looked up at the digital read-out that displayed the weight of the Higgs boson. It read, “1313131313.” And I think Kai thought, “A Type 13 planet. Now I get it. Ha-ha-ha.”
[img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]Wow, that’s a tough one.
For some reason, I think DalekTek790 worked out some sort of timeline. Or maybe it was Fred? I think it’s somewhere on SadBoard.
Once again, Xev and Stan found that no matter where they went on Earth, they found nothing but dangerous and crazy people. They’re everywhere and there’s no escaping them. There was no safe place for them on Earth.
In [i]4.16 Moss[/i], we meet the reincarnation of the astronaut from the planet Potatoho from episode [i]2.03 Lyekka[/i]. Just like his Lyekka-fantasy vision from that episode, Kai is kept in the fridge with only his head sticking out the top. Moss was one of the few people to actually figure out the connection between all of the strange events of the last few months. He deduces, correctly, that it all has to do with Prince and the ATF. And in this case, his nemerological obsession with 666 has led him the correct conclusions.
Also, I think it’s the only episode to use the music soundtrack, “Wild, Wild, Lexx,” which is one of my favorites from the CD.
This BETA version of the Xev player model is one of the featured models at [url=http://www.jediknight2files.com]Jedi Knight 2 Files.Com[/url]. Woohoo!

I’ve released a BETA version of Xev for JK2. It is currently one of the featured models at [url=http://www.jediknight2files.com]http://www.jediknight2files.com[/url]
Oh for f**k’s sake. Why are they remaking [b]that[/b] movie? Does cheese have to age before anyone will respect it? And then try to update it?
Is it that all the good ideas for movies were already created? Hollywood sucks. I think Xenia ought to hook up with independant film makers instead of trying to please the scumbags in L.A. The people in Hollywood are bloodsucking spawn of Satan.
Xenia would have been better for the part. But Drew Barrymore is a part of the multi-generational royal court of Hollywood movie stars.
As Bill Hicks once said, the big earthquake needs to hit L.A. so that it will be flushed like the turd it is down to the bottom of the toilet bowl of the Pacific ocean. Can’t you picture it? Beachfront property in Arizona bay… ah… yeah…

I feel like I’ve been betrayed by the SciFi Channel for the last time with the cancellation of [i]Farscape[/i]. I refuse to watch the channel any more and I preach the same story to anyone who will listen.
Trust me. The proportions are correct. I’ve been examining Xev/Xenia for months trying to get her player model to look right in [i]JK2[/i].
You know about Tony Anholt and [i]Lexx[/i], right?

The Divine Order would have technology comparable to something like the Centauri, but with more deadly firepower like the Vorlons. It doesn’t sound like it makes sense. But check out [i]I Worship His Shadow[/i] and [i]Gigashadow[/i] from the first season. You’ll see what I mean. The Divine Order did not employ organic technology. The Lexx was the exception and that was designed by the Heretics, the rebels fighting against the Divine Order.

Didn’t I bring up that idea? Ah yes, here it is, from the [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000346]I don’t care: I can’t take it any longer![/url] thread:

Xev, the loveslave, toting aroung a baby wasn’t what I had in mind. It wouldn’t work with Xev’s established character. Something odd would have to happen to the baby. For example, become a “starchild” like Dave Bowman in [i]2001: A Space Odyssey[/i]. But Xev’s sexual nature would fit in perfectly with such a new theme for the show.
To continue with the new “life” theme to the show, as opposed to death, different fates would be in store for minor characters that appear on the show. Perhaps instead of everyone that Stan and Xev encounter getting killed in comic ways, how about each of them ending up given a bizarre fate in life that somehow suits their personalities?
Everyone keeps going on and on about how you can’t have [i]Lexx[/i] without Kai. Well how about having further series dominated by Xev with Kai having a lesser role? Realistically, MMM doesn’t seem interested in continuing his role as Kai. But surely he could be convinced to return as a recurring character?
This guy who wrote this article (or whatever it is) is just another creepy cynic. Gee, what else is new in sci-fi fandom?

I take your advice seriously. But I know almost nothing about the Unreal line of games. What is the game that I should buy? Aren’t there sequels or expansion packs or something?
Does Unreal Tournament have light sabers? I think not! lol

Any chance of a JPG of your finnished verion?
It’s not too bad for a file size as far as these model packs go. A big factor was probably the uncompressed TGA files. In the final version, there will be more skins and I’ll use JPEG files instead. But the end result will probably still be around 3-4MB.
Here are some screen shots:
(Sorry about the sizes)

And then I’ll start on fixing bugs and problems. Not long after that, I’ll release the final version. Then on to make Kai, Stan, Zev, and others.
From there, I’ll see about importing them into [i]Quake III Arena[/i] and [i]Elite Force[/i]. It may not be too difficult, but you never know. And by that time, [i]Elite Force II[/i] may be released!
(I’ve posted this in the Sci-Fi Artwork forum, but I’ll post it again here.)
The beta version of the model is FINALLY ready! You can download it here:
[url=http://www.flamegrape.com/xev3b1.zip]http://www.flamegrape.com/xev3b1.zip[/url]Just unzip it and place the xev3b1.pk3 file in the JK2 base directory. There is not bot or team support yet. And the sounds use ones already in the game. But I have implemented a clusterlizard scream taunt!
Try it out! The folks over at Lexx.Com thought it was pretty cool.
(You’ll need [i]Jedi Knight II[/i] in order to play with her. Er, umm, yeah I meant to say that…)
Cool! Another show that I won’t be watching because the SciFi Channel will use it as lure to gain more viewers and then cancel because of “ratings” and “spiraling production costs” despite overwhelming fan appeal. Screw SciFi Channel. I’m not watching it again. (Except for the final half of the fourth season of [i]Farscape[/i].)
No kidding! Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, boy! Why are you peeved that fans speculate about a continuation of the story? Isn’t that what fandom is all about? Do you actually think for a second that we all cling to some blind and unswerving faith that our favorite show will return? [b]F*CK, NO![/b]
It’s up to fans and inspired artists and writers to pick up where the series left off. And that is what we’re trying to do right now. Some people write fanfics. Others are creating works of art. There’s one fellow who’s been making a really cool-looking comic. Myself, I have ambitions of maybe producing a videogame.
Are you suggesting we all just stop everything? Not talk about the show at all? Not discuss any ideas whatsoever?

The instant that HDS posted the news of it’s sale on Xenia’s website, I ordered a copy. I’m awaiting it’s arrival in the mail.
BTW, I’m still reading the book that she is selling with her small autographed picture. I’ll tell you guys about it when I’m finished.

Oh, if you could only see her now! I’ve fixed all the texture problems. But I’m still having some tech difficulty with her right hand mysteriously floating in mid-air, out of place. Other than that, she looks so frelling cool seeing her animated in the JK2 model-viewing program. The simple viewer animates the model with all of the movements used in the game; running, using the lightsaber, flipping, falling down dead, etc. OMG, it looks so cool!
I WILL DEFINATELY HAVE A BETA VERSION DONE BY THIS WEEKEND!

Far from it. I’ve been keeping track of what’s going on. According to the folks at Henson, SciFi Channel is “talking” again. Also, there’s talk that Showtime may be interested. And then there’s word that Rupert Murdoch is interested in buying the Jim Henson studio which would mean that [i]Farscape[/i] would move to Fox and get higher ratings than ever.
Oh yeah, and then there is the movie that’s in the works. And negotiations for an anime version of the show.
Like I said before, I’m not watching SciFi Channel ever again. I’ll tape [i]MST3K[/i] and I’ll watch the rest of the fourth season of [i]Farscape[/i], but after that it’s “bye-bye!”
Oh my gawd! Things are happening so fast, it’s hard to keep up! Get a load of THIS!
