Actually I didn’t even know about his thread when I wrote this email. I know your a nite owl, so I figured you would check your email before the board.
Nothing urkes me more then huge pictures messing up the symetry of the board. As far as bboard manners are concerned.
Well this whole bull**** in the middle east is really getting under my skin as well. And I promise you, that you don’t want to read the rant I would write about this situation.
Flamegrape, I understand what your saying, now. But after reading the stuff in that thread, I thought that you were someone else.
The way you went about this was uncalled for. It was childish and hurtful. You could have made the same statement without the anti-semetic comment, and by clearly explaining your intentions, and signifigance of the picture and its size in that same post.
I must admit though, “bombing” the thread to make it unreadable, and therefore attempting to stop the discussion was very clever and noble. You still should have gone about this differently.
I also agree that this topic should haev never been brought up. The sadboard is my little sanctuary from the real world. I come here to relax, not argue. [i]But that time loop things is just beging for me to start a serious discussion as to why they’re wrong[/i] [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

With that said, I think that Xev, Stan, Kai, Bunny and Priest will all live through the end. The Lexx and 790 will not. Because there is no Lexx, the crew will be stranded on Earth.
Oh and the Noah will be destroyed by the Lexx.

…Just FYI not sure if anyone even cares [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
We were discussing this a few months ago in the SG1 forum. Scifi bought the viewing rights to the show. It will rerun all 5 seasons (M-F) starting in the fall.
SG1 was shown on Showtime on Fridays at 10pm. Scifi wants to maintain the high ratings it saw on Showtime, by keeping its old time time slot. Another “coinicidence” is that scifi is calling its Firday night lineup “Scifi Fridays”, as opposed to “Friday Prime”. The new name may be because that it appears that only two shows will be shown now instead of three, or becasue Showtime called their Friday lineup “SciFridays”.
Firestarter show? That’s a recipe for disaster in more ways then one!

Thanks Sad. I got the impression that he didn’t like the way it turned out either. Although I can’t say that I hated or even disliked the episode. It was much better then a few that followed it.

Can I ask what happened?Scifi reran lexx last year when it was in its Monday Prime slot. Last season lexx’s second half only had 7 episodes, vs the other show 12 or 13, so they reran the season starting from Fire and Water.
I don’t know why they would do that this year. Farscape and LEXX will conclude at the same time, and Strange World will end a week after that. Strange World should have ended at the same time as the other two except scifi is showing Farscape Undressed this week instead of strange world. Thus bumping it back a week.I know why they choose to reair Vlad et al, because they were the highest rated and most liked episodes so far.
I know some of you are going to disagree with me on that; some of you say Xevivor was terrible, I disagree with you, but Xevivor was one of their highest rated eps this season. I also know a few of you are asking what about The Game. Yes The Game was one if not the best, but I doubt its ratings will reflect that. I’ll have the results of that episode’s ratings on Monday.quote:

MM was in the episoe that just aired this morning (Wednesday), it was called [i]For I Have Sinned[/i]. MM played a priest who was torn between upholding his vows to keep confessiosn secret, and saving a life.
Well the link was sorta there. I had the link on the page, that I had the blurb linked to. Yea its cumbersome. Thanks for making it more clear for everyone.
Well I can tell you that if Farscape does Dallas, i.e. it was all a dream; then I will stop watching the show. s3 dragged and at times was very unoriginal, so if they pull soem bs like that, I wil give up all hope on the show.
With that said, they’ll probably have Aeryn flying back because she felt guilty about leaving Chricton or something like that. Or The wormhole will reappear and Moya will fly out. In either case, the first goal will to be to look for the ship that didn’t come back. Following this, the crew (Moya, Chricton, Aeryn, Jool, and creepy old lady) will go around helping out hte rest of the crew. Help: Rygel regain his throne, Dargo in his revenge plot, Chiana in the Nebari resistance. They may even run into Stark, God I hope not! During all this they’ll be avoiding the usual suspects, PK’s and Scarrans. This season’s big enemy will probably be Commondant Cleavage.Oh and Harvey is still in John’s head, so that means that scorpius isn’t dead. From a production standpoint, they wouldn’t eliminate him totally unless they also got rid of Harvey.

Yes 30 hours. And since England and America don’t share the same audience, Scifi US doens’t care that they don’t “first” dibs. But if spacecast were to air 30 hours before, there would be hell to pay. The border states, can share the same audience.

I believe that many Europeans and most British are so uneducated about the U.S, that they still believe Yankee Doodle Dandy is your national anthem!!!
Squishy [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Yankee Doodle Dandy was an old british drinking stune which the revolutionary patriots adapted and sang as a mock national anthem. This was in total was meant to be an a front to the Brittish. Why I don’t know.
I don’t know how American history is taught on the other side of the Atlantic, but over here we call our war for independence the Revolutionary War (1776-1782). But it makes sense that you would call it the Civil War since we were fighting our own country. What we call the (American) Civil war (1860-1865) was fought between the northern states and territories and southern states and territories. It’s occasionally refered to the war between the states.
Many in the southern US still refer to it as the civil war as, The War of Northen Aggression. Many in the south still has ill feelings toward the north. One doesn’t have to venture far away froma major city to see that. Georgia and South Carolina still have the Confederate Flag within their own flag. (Ironically Hawaii has the union jack in theirs, but they never had anything to do with you guys) Talks of succession still happen in the deep south, as well as debating stradegies they should have used to beat off the north. As a matter of fact, 10% of all registered voters in S. Carolina belong ot the successionist party. Of course 10% of voters in Washignton state belong to a cpmmunist knock off party.

Dude don’t even joke about pop-up ads. It’s just another advantage that this board has over others. I don’t mind the banner ads that I occasionally see though. Pop-ups are just annoying.
Thank-you, it’s my pleasure. I search assorted sites daily for my own purposes, when I see something interesting, I post it up. It only takes a min anyway.
And I can’t take all the credit. I’ve posted a few blurbs based on posts from non-mods. The Forever Knight blurb I got from a post by Lexxlurker. I even asked him to write me the blurb, which he did. It can be found on the general scifi feed; whereas I wrote the one on the Lexx feed. The Ellen Dubin and MM comment will attract LEXX fans specifically.Busy is such a relative term. Relative to the time of the semester. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Things are calm in school now, so I can devote more time to pleasue and hobbies.

Headgehog nudges DT to look up a few posts where Flamegrape just gave the ANSWER.
I don’t know anything about Dalnet, but whenever I look for something from accross the ocean I use [url=http://www.neo-modus.com/]Direct Connect[/url]. Its a napster like program.
Most of the users are Swedish, but there are few Americans there. You can find whatever you want there, anything. but be warned its not very user friendly.
Direct Connect is how I go the last four episodes of Farscape s3 2 months before its air date here. I also managed to get Lord of the Rings. Amongst a score of other big titles.
Another alternative is [url=http://www.limewire.com]Limewire[/url] whihc is another napster clone. Easier to use but less reliable, and less content availible.

These are the final four episodes of s3. And they start NEXT Friday. This Friday is a rerun.
s4 starts in the US on June 7th, along with SG1. No word on when it will startin the UK. My guess is in the fall.
This is a tough call. I loved each of them. Both episodes were excellent. Brigadoom was exciting in an epic story sort of way. Whereas The Game had an exciting chess game. Well as exciting as chess could ever be. Both eps had their moments of siliness, but both had a very intelligent plot. Brigadoom had good music , The game had Prince, Vlad and better scenery.
Stan was very annoying in this Brigadoom, to the point of me wanting to reach through the screen to whap him. (It ruined by first impression of the episode, all I could think of was his childishness) Yet the Games’ bells and ding-dongs coupled with the rules got on my nerves a lot. (I know how to play the game well, certainly not as excellent as those two, but good nonetheless, so all the intructions kind of insulted my intelligence. BUT I realize that not everyone knows the intricities of Chess so it was helpful and neccesary to the ignorant.)I liked The Game infitisimaly more, but I have a pesonal connection with Brigadoom,
so in conclusion:
Head its Brigadoom
Tails its The Gamequote:

There is only so much you can butt plug a show that gave the APPEARANCE of losing the plot during the course of the fourth season…. but the decline in ratings speak for themselves. The season return via ‘Midsummer’ could even be construed as commercial suicide, and subsequent ratings merely an extended suicide note. I just hope that the freefall has stopped.
I’m going to have to agree with Bonnee on this one. All the advertsing in the world couldn’t have helps this season’s bad and bland epsiodes. I DO blame scifi for the other seasons though, and some select epsiodes of this season, y’know when LEXX was excellent.

You can pretty much lose all hope for a spin off. Lexx has been getting half the ratings it once got. It used to see a 1.2 but recently its been getting a 0.6 or less. I’ve been egttign excited just to see it get a 0.8 or even make scifi’s top ten programs for the week. A rating of at least is 1.1 is required for renewal.
Sorry Frey last one.

Uncon is short for Unconvetion or Unconventional. Its called that becasue a lexx convention is unlike any typical scifi or star trek convention. As a matter of fact, it does its best to avoid doing the things that other cons do.
Sorry we just assumed that you (and all other lexxians) know what uncon is.

Luckily, there’s only 13 episodes of strange world. And with the ratings its getting, I doubt, scifi would reknew it since its doing worse the the Chronicle, who got much better ratings.
In my heart I still have hope for the Chronicle. But I know its for nought. The cast/crew have emailed poeple and said that they couldn’t believe the weren’t renewed; and that they torn down all the sets and have parted their seperate ways. But like B5:Crusade, ther’s always alittle hope for its revival in a year or so.
For the life of me I can’t figure out WTF scifi was thinking! They had a great show with good ratings and they dropped it without giving a straight foward answer. Something doesn’t smell right!
My best guess is that the producer wanted a certain amount of money to do another season, and scifi didn’t have the $$ to make it work. This could be a result of the joint producion Battlestar Galatica with Fox; The upcoming MOW Spteven Speilberg’s Taken; scifi’s changing hands to Universal studios; or how all its recent big MOWs have been flops. (Getting half the ratings that the ads were sold for). In general 2002 has been a bad year for the scifi channel, whose seen its ratings slowly drop since December.quote:

Granted they are finally plugging the hell out of Lexx albeit far too late but typically things described as Strange dont grab my attention.
“Groundbreaking special effects”
“Science-Fiction not seen since Red Dwarf”quotes like that I think might be more productive than
“Want some Strange? Have some Lexx”
In any event, this doesent bode well for a spinoff and I dont know WTF people are thinking watching movies like Chameleon and Crocodile 😛
Thanks for the ratings updates Hh
Good one Lexxlurker!
Scifi never did a good job plugging lexx. Only during the second half of s4 did they finally give it some ad spots. Which they only showed frequently during the first few weeks of it return.
Ironiocally Lexx did twice as better with zero advertising then it is with all the advertising its getting now (Err was getting). Currently it’s still better then it was for s2 and s3.Scifi’s real problem with Lexx ads is how they do them; completely wrong! Only one lexx ad has ever made me want to watch the show. (That was the ad they showed breifly to start off s4, okay and maybe The Game ad) Scifi’s lexx ads concentrate on the brainless sex portion of the show. Which anyone who’s watched a few epsiodes, knows is not what lexx is about.
Last week we saw that girl flirting with Kai. That was like 5 min out of the whole epsiode and far from the real plot. In Dutch Treat we saw the intro to Xev and Bunny getting it on. That was the last 2 min of the episode, it had nothing to do with the plot of the episode. If it’s really necessary I’ll post other examples later if any one needs em. (I don’t feel like typing this rant all night)
With ads like this its no wonder why chronicle fans at scifi.com/chronicle, think lexx is senseless stupid sex humour. If they were to watch an episode they’d realize how similar their show is to lexx in terms of oddball humour.
With so many sex filled ads, I personaly wonder how DT ever came accross this show. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]Scifi just doesn’t **** up ads for lexx.
They also do it to their favorite show Farscape. Take this weeks episode which they adverstise as the one where John and Aeryn (Moya crew and Tayln Crew) get back together. Again this is the last 5 min of the show. The real plot has to do with more escaped Pk prisoners. Scifi chooses to concentrate on the shows sexual side as opposed to its real programming.Spin Off?! Ha! I gave up on that idea weeks ago when lexx couldn’t even break a 0.8.
Want some strange?
Have some lexx.Personally I prefer the 2am lead in..
Explore your lexxuality,
Enhance your lexx appeal,
And experince the joys of lexx.quote:

No they’re planet was dying because their sun would explode if soem special gadgets stopped working.
They probably went to he light zone because its safer there. The Dark zone is the universe of evil chaos and depravity.Interesting DT. Sounds kind like another position we humans call “69”.
Maybe the series will end up with lesser lexxs’ being born and the lexx dying.
Now I remember. Scifi and Fox are co producign a new Battlestar Galatica series. Accoriding to the plan both channel will air the show at the same time. {HA!}
Its set to air this Fall.humm, maybe your right abotu them not wanting to go into the Nexus, for the final cut. I don’t remember every detail of the movie that well. I do remember that it was part of one of the early scripts. Another scene that didn’t make it was an interrogation scene, of Soran questioning LaForge. In this scene he stops Geordi’s heart for a moment at a time to get him to answer his questions. At the end he finds out nothing, and Geordi passes out from exhasution. This is the source of Soran’s line “His heart just wasn’t in it”, after the Druass sister asked him if he found anything out.

Uhh season 3 was very continous. It was almost one long mini series. I think you mean s2.
I’d have to agree with everyone here that The Game was one of the best epsiodes yet. But there’s still 6 epsiodes left. Come on beans, keep em coming.
I also agree that The Game ending was lame or anti-climatic. If I had read spoilers ahead of time, I would think that this episode would have no bearing on anything else for the rest of the series, and that the episode ended without explanation.quote:

Soran even says he’s of the same race as Guinan and Guinan says Soran is the same race as her! Guinan’s race was taken by the borg. Soran escape along with a few others to the fedaeration. That race of listeners (as they are described) had heard of the nexus and wanted to join it to escape the memories of the borg attack. That’s why the ships were inthe ribbon to beign with. Those who were thought to have be kille din the ribbon, didn’t die but instead were absorbed into the nexus. Only the Enterprise B (not he excelsior, but an excelsior class ship) thought they had all died to it was recorded that way. While most of the listeners put the nexus behind them, Soran became obsessed with getting back into it. Hence we get the movie Generations.
The Enterprise B wasn’t so much on a shakedown flight, but more of an inagural voyage. A quick flight around the solar system for the press.
I’d have to agree with everything you said Flamegrape. But my statement to marybeth was about the rules, not he culture of the game. I prefer d20 to thac0! And xp is much easier to remember and caluclate. Okay maybe not fromteh dm’s standpoint. The one thing I don’t like about d20 xp is that you can advance to higher levels way too fast. With 2e it takes a year+ of playing to get to 20th level. Don’t even get me started on how long it took to advanced my Halfling Psionicist to demigod-hood. In 3e you could advance from 1st to 20th level over the summer. 20 adventures should not make an arch-mage or world(plane)wide famous person.
Planescape is defiantly my favorite campaign setting. You can do anything you want with Planescape! Or the manual of the Planes as its called now.
*********
I prefer minitures because it makes life easier when explaining/understanding the combat zone. Unfortunalty they are a bit expensive at times. Sure you can get a bunch of golblins, elves, dwarfs, and other common peices quite easily and cheaply. But try finding a mind flayer, succubus, thri-kreen, or purple worm! Many monster are out of circulation. So its time to hit ebay. I’m embarrased to say how much a spent on one fig! One you get teh figure, now you haev to paint em. (Theres another rant waiting to happen) Of course you could just as easily use coins, counters or goblins to represent that great wyrm white dragon. But you lose a feel to the game that way. Which is another thing, you know how expensive and time consuming it is to do a dragon?!
