This isn’t really a spoiler! C’mon someone must have more details…..PlEASE!
Me three, this is my fav. since Vlad. It’s in the grand tradition of playing a game of chess with the devil for possession of one’s soul (except for in this case, Kai has misplaced his soul 4 millenia ago!)
More games Kai and Prince should play: Candyland and strip poker.

Kai isn’t virtuous. He’s dead. So naturally, he doesn’t want sex.

ok, maybe he doesn’t want sex, but he doesn’t seem to object too much to being a passive participant. For example, when 769 wanted him to “bend over” and Stan said “It’s not going to happen” Didn’t Kai say “Why not?” It is enough to make one wonder what was going on with all those divine order priests back on the cluster…..

Thanks NB1, I am going to see if my local BlockB will order it. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond…but I have trouble posting!!

i will attempt to read the books again for sure, since someone with such good taste recommends!!!!
Singing Trees???? I can’t wait to see this episode. There are also talking trees in the wizard of oz.
I have to admit that I was not able to get through any of “The lord of the rings”, but I liked the movie.

I’ll be disappointed if they don’t show at least some of bad carrot! I want to see more of this interaction between Prince and Kai…I think that they have some chemistry. (remember when they walked hand in hand on the beach in Season 3???). I have been reduced to viewing the vid-clips and trying to extrapolate from there. No matter how bad “bad carrot” is–I am compelled to watch!!!!
I await sad’s review with bated breath.

Hi Greg, Sorry I missed you.
Are there pics of this party????

Well, I’d like to hear more about this party it sounds amazing! About McM, maybe it’s just his personality–or he could be freaked out due to past incidents that we know nothing of.
Is anyone going to post pictures of this bash???

At least I didn’t post the whole dream, there’d be 50 responses!

You mean there is MORE! What happened next? Post away, the dream was the most interesting part of the post. I think that it is rather “little shop of horrors”-esque.
Well, I think that Farscape has gotten to be unwatchable…it is sooo boring now! Some of the characters may look like aliens, but they have to act exactly like (overwrought) american high school students. There is no feeling there of an alien culture. Anyone or anything ugly is generally evil (even on star trek it sometimes happens that the ugly-scary creature turns out to be good).
One of the more endearing qualities of Lexx is that you can’t usually predict the whole of an episode after the first two minutes.

Great review—but that was no “willy”, that “thing” was too huge!
Glad to hear B.C and Aleck are ok, I know 2 new yorkers who were sucessfully evacuated from the blds. Hang in there new yorkers, the rest of us admire your courage,

I’d be pleased to put them together and send them along.
Some questions for Vlad:
Is Vlad frozen for good or will she be thawed out later for an encore?
What( or who) was Vlad before she became a super-assassin for the divine order?
Vlad is quite fashonable looking–any ideas for a line of clothing? Perfume?
Has this actress done anything like this before?
What was it like filming the episode?
I’d like to see more Vlad! http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

I think we’ll have to wait a while.. I have seen two adds for friday’s show and I don’t think that they make it to Carpathia. They stop in New Found Land (that’s how stan pronounces it). Maybe Xev will have to buy a coat!
Video Voodoo:
Something bad usually happens when I try to tape Lexx–either the show starts at 2:30 instead of 2, or I tape it with no sound, or hardly any sound (this was all the cable-guy’s fault). I ran out of tape in the last 10 minutes of “Wake the dead” etc.If anyone knows a method of removing this curse (short of throwing a black chicken over my house) please inform.

Noooo, I don’t see the resemblance. I picture R.N. ruling over a completely different kind of hell..more like the long meeting in girl-town. (I voted for him BTW, it was a desperate cry for help.)
So far, I think I liked the Xevivor episode the best. I kinda like the blue pleather faux fur outfit. I saw an add for this week’s show and can’t wait to see Stan become king of Newfoundland!
Did anyone else notice that the rest of the contestants and Xev tried to vote Stan off the island they used
A BUTTERFLY BALLOT!!!!!!!No wonder it was easy for 790 to step in and tamper!

Sad, I hate to tell ya..but the sinister, perverse carrots also like small furry animals (as seen in 4.04)!!!
I found something…ok its not the “particle”, but an article written for non-scientists that explains the Higgs Boson particles by compairing them to mud. I think it is understandable.

I agree that Thodin seemed to be able to transfer the key by an act of will, (spoiler follows) but on the other hand the key fled Xev’s body when she almost got shot(in 4.01 or 4.02 I forget which), and she didn’t even seem to realize that she was in danger of dying. The key realized it though.
The other theory that Thodin, guru-like, has achieved some mastery over the key that Stan does not have also seems reasonable.

If the key to the Lexx can only be transferred at the point of death, or maybe orgasm, how is it that Thodin transferred his key to a fellow heretic at will?In the first episode before Thodin meets Kai in battle at the entrance to the Lexx he transfers the key.
Well actually, Thodin was about to die… he knew that it was suicide to face a divine assassin, that’s why he said “My life means nothing in the divine equation”. Maybe by Thodin concentrating on the futile nature of fighting Kai, the key must sensed that he wasn’t going to make it and transferred.

I think a lot of the old English language is not used anymore, which is a shame, because I heard an old wives tale that Americans like the way we speak.
Squishy
As a young maiden, any European accent was enough to make me swoon! (Now, if I manage to grab onto a nearby mantle piece or table I can manage to stay off the floor.)
I am not sure why everyone thinks Xev is such a slut/bimbo now…sure she seems a bit more agressive—but she is part cluster lizard!C’mon guys, one might think that you feel threatened by her rapacious ways. No one ever calls Stanley a bimbo!
There is already plenty of coy behavior on the show (from Kai!)
Well, this is rather exciting for me, I dont think there is any other non-math/physics group where the special unitary group (SU(3)) would have come up! But really, I don’t believe in particles anymore..I throw my lot in with the aforementioned M-brane/String folks.

I mean, I understand some astrophysics, like black holes and basic quantum mechanics, but that site was like some sort of crazy Moon-language to me. 
Well the pictures are good, and if you understand basic quantum mech. then you are ahead of me. Unfortunately, I think it would take a spare 8 years of your (or anyone’s) life studying at an institute to really get a grasp!
Here’s a really nice site in the UK (cambridge) about cosmology:
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/%5B/url%5DThere are some nice pictures and it is aimed at non-specialists. Since it’s string-theory oriented, there is not much talk of particles, but there are still nice descriptions of current thinking in the field. (there is a section on dark matter for DT790, but i am afraid there is not much explaination there!)
[This message has been edited by lizard (edited August 01, 2001).]
Looking forward to your reviews, they are witty and I like to read them even if I have seen the show.
I totally agree with Slopmaster..In the movies it seems that the dark zone being evil (or more evil than the light zone) stuff is Divine order propaganda. The universe where the Brunnen-G originated from can’t be all bad!

Actually, when I saw the young Kai there my thought was “Can’t those lazy Beans hire new actors?”
I guess that I should tape everything because I don’t remember this “bubbleKai”.
Strangely, I found it touching when Kai and the Prince of Fire stroll off hand in hand while trapped inside the planet fire.
Showing Lexx months later in the UK seems like an odd decision, I can’t quite figure out the reasoning for this.
Does the US scifi channel think that it increases ratings?
Also, none of the posts were really offensive, considering that internationally, the US has become the “1000 pound gorilla that sits wherever it likes”. I can see why you all might be feeling crowded out.
Possible cut scene: Kai stops into a local hair salon near the site of his crash, where they apply some wax and make his hair even higher (this is texas after all).
Of course, we all know that hair and fingernails continue to grow after death, so maybe he just has more hair to deal with. I would like to see him at his ‘toilette’ one day. Making that lucious lock that falls to the side.
But oh dear, how we have strayed from the topic!
Also, was he held hostage and abused in a double-wide in some state of the former confederacy? Whence all the southern gothic? Is a mule gonna drown in the next eppy or what?
Maybe nobody cares anymore, but the thing looks like a piece of pollen seen under a microscope to me…with boomerangs flying out of it.
Also, is it just my imagination or is Kai’s hair bun getting larger??

Artistic integrity!! Who can afford that! Most actors don’t get the chance to be on a regular TV show, and it is probably the only time that he’ll ever have to make money. Of course, its cheaper to live in canada than malibu..but still I don’t blame ‘im for trying to get paid more.
I have a question for any of the writers:
After three series, do you ever feel stifled by the need to be consistent with everything that went before? Or do you just let it flow?
I am pretty sure that a lot of the “soft tissue” that was in demand went to feed the lexx. The lexx was storing up food (that means that when stan and xev ate the food the lexx provided—it was recycled–yetchhh!)
Yes I saw the pics…It looks like great fun.However, there is something missing! Where are the pics of M.M.??? He seems harder to spot than that other canadian beast…the saskwatch!!
Even a grainy pic of him from a great distance walking across the woods would be better than nothing, perhaps he is shy!

Sometimes the best thing about lexx is that it is not afraid to be bad.
Also, FX americans are to blame for a great deal of crappy culture, but I am not sure we invented the musical!
J’accuse mr. potato head of either being DT790 or my ex-boyfriend (they talk the same way!)
Aleck,
Thanks for the info—so much for my “E! True Hollywood Story” type fantasies of betrayal and greed!Raven, Now you will get everyone’s hackles up! I wonder why the original actress was dropped (was it because she was a bad actress? Did she want more money? I am sure the hard-core lexxians know, maybe someone will fill us in) Eva was very pretty though and that goes a long way on TV. Overall, I like Xenia better, and she is a MUCH better actress.
As for Brigadoom, it is the single most bizarre thing I had seen on TV for a long time. I liked it!

As a Lexxian who flunked the lexx purity test (i got a 45!) I can stand in for an ignoramus. I would ask the writers if they work on other Science fiction type projects. Do they write other scripts? What is the rest of their work like?
Also: Who decides whether the ship is hairy? I seem to remember the lexx had some spiky hairs in earlier episodes? For that matter Who decides whether Kai is hairy? I remember seeing chest hair in one of the movies, but he was completely shaved in the notorious ep. in season 3.
