Do not go gentle into that good night,
Sparkle, sparkle with the brilliance of diamond light …It’s right up my alley! Ellen is my favourite Lexx actress and Michael my favourite Lexx actor.
Still, I won’t be buying my ticket until very close to the convention date. 😉
Well, not being American I know very little of what is going on in Louisana or Texas and can’t comment. I do think I understand what you mean about herd thinking. I’ve been very disappointed during my own lifetime to see that the younger people coming up after me seem to be more conservative in outlook and less likely to question societal norms and mass-thinking than the generation ahead of me. I would have thought that society would become more free-thinking with time. Instead, it seems free-thinkers have become more rare. Thodin in the arena comes to mind – shouting “Rise up! You are all slaves!” to thousands of people who were incapable of thinking outside of His Shadow’s world.
I don’t know about Lexx addressing different realities. One has to be careful not to overthink Lexx. What wisdom there is in it, I suspect, was unintentional. To my point of view, Lexx was a wonderful frolic by a bunch of partying, maritime Beans (salty Beans, arrrgh). Although they flaunted some conventions they stuck rigorously to others. But for making a program in which disappointment featured rather largely, and failure and ineptitude could be counted on, I will always be grateful to them. The characters of Lexx rarely got what they wanted, but they always picked themselves up, dusted themselves off and continued on for no other grand purpose than because they had no choice. I would like to know what you mean about the different realities though. 😉
No doubt you are right. If I recall correctly, when I first watched Lexx I found the move away from the formulaic really freeing. I was thrilled to see a program that allowed human beings in space to be fully human, and that didn’t try to whitewash our basic drives and needs. I guess the kind of acceptance Lexx had for feelings of inadequacy, loss, all kinds of sexuality and different ways of being alive in the universe kinda freed up something in me too when I watched it. Was it this way for you?

“On the fragile wings through the dawn of a dream…
A big bug came through the mist,
It would seem…
It’s body was of husk…..
It’s wings were of satin…
I think that critter was the size of Manhatten!!
It took flight every Friday night..
.A few hours of “Kai-watching” made everything right….
Our joy filled hearts would happily take flight….
On the wings of “Kai-drooling”…
If MM’s wig was just “just right!!”
Oh Kai! My heart fills with love anew…
As I think of the Friday nights,
We droolers spent with you!! 😈 🙄
Alas! The Lexx died!!
The Brunnin G imploded!!
And the tears of us droolers exploded!!
So till that shining and glorious day,
Alantic makes a Lexx movie and puts the Firefly at bay!”………….. 🙄(might be continued!…)
(This piece of poetic drivel is subject to Stanelle returning to revise it as soon as her stomach settles!!)
There! Edit that! LOL!
Great poem, sweetie! It’s funny though, Lexx did inspire a lot of creativity in me too. I owe my pottery and my initial forays into the world of lotions and potions to the Lexx. Why do you suppose it is that it inspired so much creativity in the community that followed it? It is an interesting phenomenon. 😀
I find myself in an odd position. If I were a religious person, I might say that Lexx is my church. Not that I worship His Shadow or anything, but it’s where I go to check out all the baked goods, share gossip on the latest planetary plagues and and flirt in very chaste way. It’s all very surreal how this show has affected my little world.

Beautiful work Jodi. You have a wonderful talent. All the pictures, especially your work at Lexx museum are wonderful. I especially love your picture of Ellen’s face with a very Giggy expression.
Well done and thank you for sharing.

I LOVE that creature. I think it is called a horta. Nursie does a very good impression of it. I have a friend who is as odd as I am. We call a really big pimple a horta and do the “No kill I” impression whenever we see one. It draws strange looks in a social setting but we enjoy ourselves. Even when it is one of us afflicted with a horta. Did I mention I was odd?
My idea of downloading a demon? Logging into lexxfans.com and finding wads of Fatguy drivel to wade through. Where did I put my Advil?
Thank you! And may I just say, you have no idea how richly satisfying it is to see your name on the forum list. So glad you made it. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the computer to keep on tickin’. 😀
I found RIII! Yippee! She is currently having computer problems and did not know lexx.com was down. She knows where we all are now and circumstances permitting, will come join us. 😀 😀 😀
Anybody know how to reach Yottskry? I know crinkle pants is very computer savy and should be able to find us here if he wants, but it would be nice to give him a heads up.
Oh, anybody want to sing this one?
Swimming, swimming
In my swimming pool

With nothing else to do.Perhaps it is time to get out my copy of Brigadoom and perform the opus for myself………
LOL! I think you win for stamina Honey. I salute you! Whose cherry didn’t you get? Now I’m off to turn in too. Tomorrow is another day, another pie fight. Nite nite.

I can’t answer your question Dee.
So. Anbody seen streudel lately? Did you happen to notice if she was packin’ pies?
I’ll tell you what Lexxians look like…..

Skates out of thread on acme rocket-powered pink roller blades in search of streudel.
Beep beep!
Dinner? Did someone say dinner? Hey, I never saved any of our recipes from the great recipe thread we had going over at the old place and am now kicking myself. “Why clutter up the desk?”, I thought. “I can pull the recipes off the bored any ole time.”
Does anyone have some of those recipes, including RIII’s oyster dip? I know I should’ve printed it out. I know I should’ve, I know I should’ve.
FX wrote:🙁 enough already, to refresh memories for our older posters, and to bring the newbies up to date, there were terrible wars here at the end of 2001 which culminated in my banning both maya and gelfling…i felt, and continue to feel, that maya has no boundaries…she carried the flame wars over to my personal email, as well as attacking me multiple times on the board…same same for gelfling…i have just read maya’s revisionist theory of events on scifi.com, and once again, she has come up with a story with very few facts, and is now defending it as the truth…frey had nothing to do with banning maya, but apparently many people immediately took maya’s version as gospel, and turned on frey 👿
to those of you that feel that maya has been unjustly treated, i am sorry, but her version of events is not what happened…nevertheless, i am sorry for all the misunderstandings, and hope you will all continue to visit …as saddy says, none of the admins ban lightly, but we all feel there have to be some limits, and unfortunately, people do cross those lines despite multiple warnings, and thus end up banned…
I understand your point of view FX. But that was years ago. It’s like divorced people still fighting over what happened during their marriage. It’s embarrassing for outsiders to watch. And who was right or wrong isn’t important to anyone anymore. Refreshing memories adds to the problems, it doesn’t solve anything.
As long as I’ve been in Lexx fandom Maya has been nothing but exemplary. And she is a big part of our family. It takes a big person to let go of the past. I’m hoping both sides of this vengeful old thing are up to the task of putting aside grudges. It is a small hope, but a genuine one nevertheless.
I appreciate your response Mr. Sadgeezer. This is your site and you get to call the shots. No doubt your mods are hard-workers, close friends and you respect them and their decisions. However, Maya’s “recent” banning (recent in quotations because I am aware of all the rationales, crossed wires and explanations) was very badly handled. Although the mod’s were allegedly only enforcing past policy on a single poster they actually have hurt the whole community.
Maya is very important to the Lexxian community on all its various sites. She has been nothing but kind and giving of her time and resources. When I was a noob, she treated me with respect and openness and made me feel very welcome in the community. She is a high priestess for many of us. 😀
Watching events unfold from the sidelines, I can only say that the banning has hurt many of us. Not just Maya. No one contacted Maya or made any explanations. We all react differently. Can you blame some of us for going ballistic? It has just been very disturbing to watch and upsetting for a lot of us.
Perhaps I am beating a dead horse, but I would like to petition you for Maya’s reinstatement. Whether she actually comes back or not is another matter entirely and shouldn’t play a role in the principle of the decision. I for one, would be grateful to see her reinstated if for no other reason than as an olive branch to our community and balm for our wounds at seeing one of our own treated so badly. I am a post APEC fan and singularly uninterested in past battles. Please help us move past all this past silliness and get on with being a happy community of lovin’ Lexxians.
Glad you made it here Fourth! I have sympathy knots in my stomach for you. Maybe when the nightmare is over you can share some of your thesis with us. I for one am always keen to see what my fellow Lexxians are up to. And after spending four years on it you gotta show it off.
Thank you iStan for contacting Troy. The news really sucks. AA hasn’t responded to any of my e-mails. If for no other reason than as an outlet for my discontent, I am going to try other ways of contacting them and requesting explanation and help.
As to another php message board – I think it would be wonderful. I offered gela my help doing whatever on the Yahoo message board. I make the offer again to anyone who is serious. If nothing else I can crack out my pom-poms, do some cheerleading and serve cyber snacks to all those actually doing the work. I am technically challenged but I am a quick study. 😀
Perhaps, if Dee or whoever actually gets hold of Paul Donovan, he will be willing to let us use the Lexx.com domain. Or http://www.lexxx.com might be fun. As I recall barber and thatguyben are puter pro’s and might be willing to lend a hand for set up. Stormie might be cajoled into helping too (more naked lady pic’s?). I think barber, the incorrigeable curmudgeon, can be tracked down at his roguedemon site – I will try it.
El Coul! You rock man. If $$$’s are required I bet any number of us would be more than willing to send some bucks. I doubt any of us are independently wealthy but as a group we could all probably spare a few bucks or euros each. 😀
All my fellow Lexxians are what made Lexx.com worthwhile. As long as such great people as you all stick and pull together Lexx.com won’t be gone. We’ll just move, that’s all. 😀

The scripts for Red Dwarf were pretty witty and quick. The Brits seem to do everything better. Even their smegheads have a better command of the language than we do. 😀
iStan wrote:…an obscure series about a big bug in the sky has brought me the odd moment of entertainment. Now, I want to expand my horizons, primarily by buying DVDs….I’ve heard conflicting reviews of Tripping the Riff, but Red Dwarf has caught my interest….
Why not surf Space’s line-up and check out some of what they have cooking? That way you can get a preview before you spend bucks. They are showing Tripping the Riff. You know my prejudice with respect to it but, hey! how knows? you might find it enteraining.
I once thought Red Dwarf was wildly funny. Worth checking out – it might just be that I’m losing my sense of humour. I am definitely going to catch the season finale of Alienated on June 15 and see what that show is all about.
Other shows that are not sci-fi but worth watching are Showcase’s Trailer Park Boys. Canadian and funny as hell. I think it airs on Showcase Sunday evenings. You can experience the trials and tribulations of making a living growing dope in a trailer park. They did an episode last season with the lead characters Ricky and Julian, defending themselves in criminal court ,without a lawyer, on charges of stealing gasoline. It was beyond brilliant and actually plausible in a totally f**cked up Canadian way.
And starting mid-June, season 3 of 6 Feet Under is airing. Seasons 1 and 2 were very interesting. Quite a different show. 😀 Very dark humour. My VCR is looking forward to it.

Which Lexx character would make for the best spinoff ala Frasier to Cheers?
790. I can just see him bickering with Niles and Frasier.
Who do you think was the cheesiest Lexx character ever?

Oh jesus god! Not the fridge magnets again. I’ve been clean for a couple of months now. So irrestible. White fridge, pretty magnets. Gah.
Logan’s response has actually made me consider the question of Lexxian-specific boredom seriously, for the first time. Our various responses and coping mechanisms for boredom are probably all different. But I do think we share some traits in common as a specific community.
All indications to the contrary, I think Lexxians tend to be a mature, surprisingly intelligent and creative bunch. There are of course exceptions 😉 nudge nudge wink wink 🙄 🙄 . But for the most part the group seems to include a surprising number of people who have lived interesting or challenging lives. And that does not mean being a rocket scientist. Sometimes just trying to live on an authentic level without totally shutting down in mainstream society is an incredible challenge. If you can keep it real these days I figure you are some kind of super-hero.
Most Lexxians seem to be open-minded, tolerant and unique. In spite of reports to the contrary, there are loads of people out there who are not unique. The “everybody is unique” saying is just a pacifier to keep the mindless happy in their obedience. Same with “everybody is equal”. Giggle. So when you run into someone who is willing to be different, you know you are dealing with someone who has a fair amount of courage and inner strength, even if they don’t know it. And you thank whatever gods you to pray to for them because they are the type of people who save the species from being totally mundane and insane.
Woa. Getting heavy. The last week has been a pain in the ass because I have been ill and unable to do much. Normally I would have been assuaging my boredom by massaging the bored. Sad’s has been a treasure. I have also been hanging a bit at #lexx chat. Maya’s Trading Post has been a lot of fun and a couple of days ago I made my way to live journal and started a blog. I am amazed how Lexxians seem to be sprinkled everywhere and yet all connected like some giant web. Talk to one you have never met before and chances are they either know you or you know someone in common. Cool.
I had thought from Logan’s comments that even though
Donovan owned the site, AA was the controlling entity. Agency relationship? I don’t know. It makes little sense to me either. I thought the admin’s would have been in touch somehow with the powers that be.So. Anybody know where we can find Paul?
Edit: Aha! sorry Dee, for some reason I missed page 10 when I posted my reply. You are awesome Dude! You e-mailed PD you say? Well, all I have to say is knowing you have done so much makes sitting on my thumb just that much more enjoyable. Thanks.
Gah! Hockey! ROM is fun (Royal Ontario Museum) and all the tourists have to get their butts dragged up the CN Tower – looks like Seattle’s Space Needle only taller. Great view – especially at night – if you can handle heights.
If you can catch a play at the Royal Alexander Threatre do it! And have dinner at Ed’s Warehouse before-hand – I think it is next door – or close by at any rate. Fantastic roast beef as I recall. Both are historic treats. I hope they are still old-fashioned swank.
People back east think T.O.’s Chinatown is pretty cool. (Ours is like, waaaaaay better). But since it has been ages since I was back there I am not really a very good resource. iStan might be more helpful since he knows Toronto well.
Hope you have a wonderful trip. 😀
Damn! I could never stand to see a grown Klingon/Picard/Kirk hybrid cry. 🙁

Oh look! Here’s a skirt in just your size. Wanna come play dress-up at Gubby’s for ILyekka and I? Just please, no planet of fools. I already live on one.
