BTW, Pet, how ’bout a yo way D’oh with a Dragon Con theme. Have a dragon or someone in a suit with Stan with his arm around him and a mug in one hand and the dragon lighting a cig for Kai; Xev can be conversing with a Storm Trooper and 790 with a straw sipping a brewski or a big spliff; okay it is a little extreme; but a fun t-shirt idear; not so formal. I’d wear it. The Giggy Pope can sip wine and be conversing with a Trekkie and Bunny in her American bikini with a Romulan.
DUCK!!!!Someone is going to throw punches!!!
Well, if you have to get down and dirty the angst forum is where to do it; stop it from entering other places.
I like what Rag has said; and is it not all too true. I’ve been an outsider all of my life for one reason or another first because of physical differences and now by choice. This “look at these weirdo” mentality; another way to sow difference and elitism in our culture; it’s not the way to go; the three poisons of greed, anger and stupidity run amok.
What if i were to tell you that i think what most people do for attention is weird; from women’s hair tossing and high pitched laughing to men’s flexing their muscles. Now most would say that’s acceptable; I think it’s a game, a ploy for attention, and strange.
I could conform (which means I’d have to grow my hair and take hair-tossing 101- hey a new Olympic sport) but that would mean I would give up some sense of self; and accept a mass way of thinking to a degree. I WON’T DO IT!!!!I don’t think I ever mentioned this but I really like this Yo Way D’oh; it’s pretty hilarious. The X-mas one with the lights ROFL; 790 needs to have a socket on him.
Hell yeah, we could do our own thang as long as we kissed the ring and or any other part we need to kiss. Sanction, smanction if it’s done in good taste (ahh—sort of good taste- i know its Lexx and all)and they make some bucks what is the problem; so it buys Lex G a new baseball cap or Mr D some new flip flops; what’s the problem? I would like to see a 790 toaster cosy or even a toaster that alternates screaming “Kai” or “Xev” when your toast is done
Or better it does lines while the bread is toasting and then moans its 2 loves; yeah that’s the ticket 
I want to have a discussion with that push-me=pull-you llama animal in the original Dr. Doolittle. In case of arguements it would be 2 against 1 though and that would blow.
I don’t think I sound that much as a pessimist, but you are entitled to feel that way. Words and hopes are a good start (it beats a stick in the old eye) but that is all they are, unless they are backed up by action. Dreaming of a world like this, nice first step, “making it so”, different story.
But back to the topic at hand, sci-fi does hava a more hopeful quality; whereas reality based shows give us a made-for -TV reality. Personally, can’t stand reality shows and sometimes the sci-fi bores me to tears.
Oh., and BTW you don’t really know me FX and thus to call me a pessimist may be premature on your part. i know you probably wanted to defend Flame, but why is it that it is easy to jump on me but you praise others wholeheartedly. And you want to know why everyone lurks and no one posts; i got one word….. biased.
Whoa, Flame back the shuttlecraft up a little. No violence? What about Klingons? No disease; why are there so many shows that are based on fighting one disease or another?
We are not ready to colonize space yet; we can’t even agree on how to get this planet up and running right; IMHO if man individually and collectively cannot find a way to control himself we will just take the bad and good that is man right into space with him. That frightens me. It’s scary enough that they are doing a p—— contest with nukes and wmd’s!
Okay, oodles of old here. i’m back to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours especially “Second Hand News” “The Chain” and Fleet’s drums in “You Can Go Your Own Way.” “Dreams” of course.
BTW, I’ve got to give credit to the Beanesses and their supporting cast and crew for even attempting this last season.
Creatively, it must have been one hell of a struggle to do another season let alone 24 eps. Doing pretty much the same thing for all of that time, yeesh, hell for a creative person. What line was it in “Storm of the Century”, “Hell is repetition”; doing something over and over again until it feels like the movie “Groundhog’s Day”
These are highly talented and creative peeps with a lot going on even while making this show. I would surely have to have a lot of irons in the fire if I had the same old grind to do everyday; just to be sane and remain connected to the world.
You know it must be a mixed blessing; creativity in media today. It’s like economics really, trying to predict what the public wants yet to remain apart in order to pursue an independent course. I find that its all linked; the evolutionary process of the individual and the larger picture of what an individual does. I find myself asking what did you learn from the experience? If you did not, you missed the lesson and you may have to repeat it in another.
Mr. D; sir. Sorry there is a master plan; I hope you find it
——————-I really wanted to stay out of this forum; but I do have to say something to support Trini T in the fact that it is changing; the fandom base I mean.
It seems this show seemed to have been a kind of fluke; something kicked around in the large buggy brain of the hallowed bean of PD. Networking as must happen if you are in the “BIZ” he probably sold it to some backer; pulled together some pals and came up with this show.
The popularity i think caught them by surprise, though I don’t understand that; Mr. D made quality work before; sooner or later he would have got mass appeal down right and already he knows how critics work at this particular time. What is that line; “keep your friends close,
but your enemies closer; yeah that dance with critics.though I appreciate what founding LEXX fans have done for this show, there are still a few of us around that are not such as interested in the physicality of the actors of the show- which played a part to the appeal- but feel that there was a story to these tales of the parallel universes. Because there was 3 1/2 main characters and they worked hard to build them, to “flesh them out” the resolution of the conflict of just one character does not a complete story make.
Everybody knows(some turkey and some mistletoe)
that a lot of the fans are drawn to the idea of Kai and the physique of MM as well as Ms. Seeburg. When he died, they went with him and stopped supporting and posting, etc… There was also the big conflict with season 2 to 3 and now #4.I watched LEXX because it is not the same sci-fi drivel; it was not afraid to get down and dirty and pushed buttons. I don’t neccessarily agree with all of it but ya got to go with its it freshness.
And that’s why it ended because it’s a big amount of cash and it seems ideas were running thin.
They went out on there terms and I respect that; they did not milk LEXX for every penny nor did they milk us dry; (they let the dealers do that) which is something that should have been handled by pros a few years back; then fans and SS, AA everyone would have been happy campers and there would have been no deficit of a mill.
These are only my opinions; take or leave them; the show is done and hindsight is always the best.
Peace
I’m listening to Yes; their greatest hits. You know the oldies but goodies like “Owner of a Lonely Heart” “I’ve Seen All Good People” and “Leave It”. In fact the cover has a pic of a hand with a dragon fly in the palm. (Sigh) If life were only like that.
Yup, I’m a product of my generation too; and we sold our souls.
Tired of all of those gadgets around the house?
Are all of your drawers full of worthless junk?
AND>>>> Is your love life crap??
LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!!!
Well, here’s a gadget with a thousand and one uses—The SS Screw-All!
Yes, this handy all in one tool gets even the most geekiest of guys laid.
Made of the finest tempered steel and with the tiniest of a small motorized heaters hidden inside; this little lovey will have women begging for you to fix them completely!
On one end is the corkscrew to wow that certain honey with your wine expertise
and on the other end; well; to keep her happy the rest of the evening even when you can’t cu..; uh…. be there!And like all tools it would not be complete without the retractable screwdriver for those handy chores around the house!
Call now in the next fifteen minutes and we’ll throw in the Ginsu 2000 set of cutting knives, absolutely freakin’ free. Yes, you can have these beautiful knives and a special Bobbitt commemorative knife to have all for the low price of $19.95!
Buy now and we will ship before Christmas; makes a perfect gift!!!!!
Call now 1-800- TIN-WANG
That’s $19.95 for the best tool money can buy!
Actually, I prefer being “Pierce”-d by movies like The Thomas Crowne Affair which is Bond-like but more story, less gadgets and sorry guys, less gorgeous chicks.
Rene Russo is not a fave actress of mine but she was a good adversary for the ever suave Brosnan. IMHO, Brosnan is the runner up in Bond flicks; no one can match Sean Connery!
I am glad they are attempting to change a few things, but i think you are right about the financiers of most everything that has backing. my mind conjures up a room full of middle-aged men in suits with wives in historical societies and garden clubs and on the other hand young mistresses bleeding them dry. (I’m somewhat of a cynic too)
I’m a little surprised at what is considered fine acting anymore. Speaking of Halle Berry; I think she’s a good actress, not great, but good although Monster’s Ball did not impress me.
And Laura Croft, Tomb Raider was an okay flick if they would have developed Laura’s character some more and put in more shower scenes with that guy. Again, it came down to be geared for guys otherwise it would have had a little more work; a little more thought put into it.So, I’m the only one (except those Tom Jones fans) the sets the way back machine. It must be that i am in my hometown and the season is just right; I’ m listening to the Charlie Brown Christmas album. You know the best CB are right now; the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas ones. Hey, A Nightmare Before Christmas won at Dragon Con as some of the greatest costumes! There are times being an adult really bites.
Wot’s a nest cartoon? Oh, a best cartoon. I think you were talking about a cartoon geared for very small kids and then you said “Samarai Jack” and i knew I was wrong. My bad.
Kim Possible is not that bad either and Power Puff girls is ok, but no fer real stuff?
Actually, I’ll ask one of my many bros about it. He’s got me hooked on that Vice City game right now. The Tech channel calls it “The SIMS with a broken beer bottle” and that’s pretty close to the truth.
Emma Peel is close but not fully independent of the male influence.
I think there should be a forum on Lexx and women or you could call it How i Learned to be a Real Woman by watching Lexx. Okay, it is a weak spot for this show but I think for Sci-fi in general. Why are the old stereo-types still true; why can’t women be allowed to openly talk about sex like men without being branded a ho or something else.
It is my experience that the more you bury something the more people want to dig it up. That’s why underground anything or subcultures flourish.
And let’s face it folks; we are addicted to youth, beauty, and hedonism. Our society bases itself on all of this; anything new, shocks us (like real TV) we shell out the money to have.
Face it, we are being hosed by advertisers. They know us so well and play us like trout on a lineROFL!!!!! At least you had brothers that listen to those stories; my brothers would rather cut the hair off my dolls. My brother Len took my prize Barbie doll (an older version which would be worth some cash now) and crewcut her hair; and threw away all of her clothes. I think he wanted her to be GI Barbie or something like that.
I had 4 brothers close to my age while I was growing up so keeping any dolls safe was an impossibility.Yeesh! I guess boys will be boys!
Hey, don’t be knockin’ the Wilder stuff since i live a short way from The Little House In the Big Woods. Why that’s what us folks do on a Saturday night in backwoods country along with twisting hay for that “Long Winter”.
Yes, ma’am I’ve read all of those books but I was quite upset when they made that series. That as way too wholesome for me!!! Even I have my limits
!!!!My sweets it’s dementia; a term that I’m sure a few might say I know quite well. I beg to differ though; dementia implies an illness; I just don’t care.
I’ve gone back to an oldie but goodie;Sarah McLaughlin’s Surfacing with Tracks 5 and 9 more significance now I have no idea why.
I went to the Halloween bashes as Ms. Grim Reaper with scythe and hood. Well, I showed some leg and cleavage too to be honest; we had an ok time; my friend’s friend wore a kilt and he got kilt checked all of the time. Jerry Garcia was there; I told him we had already met.
Then I met a guy who told me about traveling in Thailand and we had a conversation comparing clubbing here and there; he told me about the men dressed as women, etc… and how the cultures are very different.Well, another Boo day gone
I hope everyone had a good time.
Trini I don’t want to go to Toronto; I’ve already seen it. I want to go to new places, see new faces, so how ’bout Regina? I have to see a city that they insist on pronouncing like female anatomy. Speaking of sex and Canada, I don’t know, correct me if I’m wrong but do Canadians talk about sex alot? It seems to be quite pervasive in their culture. Just a question; don’t draw and quarter me yet. I know Americans are quite prudish in some ways.
You know what I’m enjoying right now is the show on Lifetime called the Sunday night or Saturday night Sex Show that’s on the Lifetime channel.
It’s a call-in show where a woman who looks like your grandmother gives Canadian callers sex advice; uses diagrams and little dolls. I
find it amusing at times especially when she recommends little tips to spice up your love life.Okay, I’m still a freak.
As before mentioned by someone speaking of free speech; The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand which so far I have found to be well written.
I may pick up that book tht the movie Abandon was based on for that movie was interesting. A lot films are playing with those washed color schenes; you know it’s color but not bright color; and as in A Beautiful Mind the main character delusions take center stage; but you don’t know that until the end. Well, you can figure that out relatively easy in the film but what made the film interesting is Katie Holmes. She has a presence in this film that instinct tells you to trust at times and at others you know there is something wrong with her. Bratt was okay as the cop; and the dead but reappearing boyfriend was hot. The surprise was Katie Holmes however.Sorry for being OT
Yeah, yeah, we can all meet in St. Paul and build a shrine to Mr. Donovan facing Halifax with the Bean Commandments in his hands like the tablets and then we can sing Prince songs or that Yo Way Yo song as we build snow renditions of the cast.
Wouldn’t that be fun children?
Trini; it’s a Lexxodus to the Midwest; I think i read that someone is moving back from Cali; there’s me in Ioway here you and i think Marty from Chicago. Yowza.
Well, gotta go; we should plan a get together.
Sorry, not good at the birfday thing at all; I’m glad it was a good one.
3 cheers for our fave Pub Moderator!!!
Oh yeah? Pistols at dawn and you can have the Frey as your second. My ex always said instead of the big D( and I don’t mean Dallas) couples should have the option of pistols at dawn. This actually would have boded ill for him because I’m a pretty good shot. Well, growing up here deer capital. Everyone is hitting deers around here right and left now.
Bambi is becoming road kill daily;
….or we could all go to the track; my Dad currently has me hanicapping the ponies; hey this is Iowa what do you expect.
That way we can make the money for everyone and we won’t have to rely on Logan’s fast money scheme.
Could you see the Three Beans at a place like the Pink Pony? I think it was a strip club I saw while I was down there; though to be honest if you hang around long enough at Dragon-Con you will see just as much.
Why can I picture the three of them on a 3 martini lunch with some exotic dancer swirling around a pole in front of them?Ahhh! I got to start getting the good stuff, mon. (j/k)
i think we’d have to hire a non-Stan security guard to keep track of them if we ever A.) got them out of Canada and B.) got them away from their loving ladies.We’ll see how things go.
Well, as one who was just jumped on because I did not edit/delete fast enough to suit; I’m not so sure if being here is all that it’s cracked up to be. I’m sorry the computer I was using doesn’t move very fast; when it takes a whole morning just to download the intro of this site; PM are nigh impossible to get to; and with my experience the PM I have sent don’t get acknowledged which is rude; so I rarely even check them. And so I get the screws turned on twice. So, I removed what is offensive. I hope you are happy; you got what you wanted from me. Next time may be you would consider the extenuating circumstances before addressing me twice.
Oh, BTW a little kindness goes a long way while you are at it. I was wrong about the posts but I was not in the position to immediately change them.
You know what I’d like to see? Now let me write a little disclaimer here. We all would like to see all of Mr. D’s work be award winning, make tons of money, etc… but I think he has had his biggest support with this show; and I don’t care how long it takes; I would like to get the typical die but keep coming back status so that when he takes his lovely grandaughter (many years in the future) to a flea market; he will pick up that Xev doll with one leg and grin. Then, reaching into his pocket for change; he may sigh with contentment for now two of his greatest creations would have found a home with each other.
EEEK!!!! Telemarketers found me;
I can’t get away from them; they follow me everywhere!
Nope, don’t do much of that kind of hoin here in Iowa; no call for a Big Mack Daddy likes you Logan to be tellin’me “where’s my money BIT–” as good as you are
j/k Well, I don’t mind Lexx.com though it does disturb me that the most popular thread is “what do you look like” and though that is okay; i like just chatting with peeps; I don’t want to date them. I could go into any chat room and get these questions; what do you look like, what do you do. Hell, any social setting does this; I don’t mind off-topic too; but like I said if i wanted to do this i could look at personals.
I come to talk about LEXX, sci-fi, and to have a laugh (SUCK UP ALERT>>>>) like some of the ones you provide Logan. I like M. Frey’s site; and the last LEXX Muppets in Space was very funny.Speaking of funny, that fatguy I do not understand; he ditches this board there on LEXX.com and praises this on while he’s here.
I think that is called speaking with forked tongue.Why is it a big deal; peeps go where they are comfortable; i like it here.
AWWWW; that’s so sweet; group cyber hug
You know I like the site because it is blalanced; it has got a lot here; and i was not treated like an idiot when I post here when I was a newbie. It’s my experience that the world is negative enough; I really don’t need someone i will probably never meet rip me a new you-know-what over television shows
And Sadgeezer openly encourages fan art, stories, etc… and that is very cool.I don’t agree it’s elitist; the moderators are very down to earth; and incredibly helpful, and don’t put up with crap. I respect that; like i said if you hate the world feeling argumentative go punch a wall; don’t attack other people.
Sure, I get preachy, yes i can get on my high horse; but I don’t go after individuals; I don’t know them that well to say so.
Thanks to Sadgeezer and all who make this site a comfortable and exciting place to post
Florida in the spring; depends on the job i haven’t landed yet but my friend’s friend lives about an hour from Orlando.
Who-hoo coasters!!!!!
Yaw, I had to go get in some crops burfore the sun go down.
Yeah, if you go to that thriving met of Dearborn take some pics for goodness sake. I’d go but Michigan and Chicago in one weekend; my heart can’t stand the strain.
I hope little Ms. Seeburg packs some warm clothes; sorry guys! but that is Michigan and not a warm Hali studio and California can thin your blood a bit. Us hearty Midwesterners; we can take the cold. There was a lot of snow up north in Minnesota this week. Yippee, another reason to be home. Speaking of Minnesota where are those LEXX fans? Get on over to Michigan.
I say you try to bamboozle Mr. Bill and his Priceline computer out of some free air tickets or hotels. Trin, he’s another who likes blondes; but didn’t something weird happen to his last wife? You know being around such a sci-fi studmuffin could give you chills.
Got to go attach the mule to the plow now
if i wanted fine continental cuisine like that I’d go to Kentucky Fried Chicken, at least they bread and deep fry their mice.
Okay, totally not modern but it’s Stevie Wonder’s Song Review; esp. Superstitious; Higher Ground, Boogie Woman, and I can’t recall the name of it now; but he sings about being a kid.
I cried not for Kai; but for LEXX the ship itself and how it interacted with Stan; IMHO Brian did some of the best acting in the whole “wad” in that last ep.
I’m sorry, I did not get as upset because as a tragic hero he was set up to be; you know he would go out like this; and Zev would get teary, etc… It was the Lexx and Stanley that really got to me. 790 is 790;
And Mr. D’s intercourse references; tsk ,tsk. makes me think Viagra is given around like Halloween candy there at SS.
Yeah, he may have been a very old bug but he was our bug. I’ll miss you LEXX.
