O.K. Dudelove, now adults are going to discuss Xenia’s acting…she is an actress, and not just a pair of lips, y’know. 😉
I love whenever Xenia has a crying scene. She is very convincing. I feel a good crying scene seperates the good actors from the hacks.
She is wonderful in Norb when she’s crying and telling 790 to work the protein regenerator so he can heal his brain cube.
She is superb in Yo Way Yo. One her finest moments to be sure. You can feel your heart breaking along with hers.
She’s a much better actress than she gets credit for, IMHO.
My husband and I both thought it would be the butler. Hubby still contends it should have been the butler. Me, I thought…SPOILER
Number 6 being Number 1 was a brilliant idea. I’m pretty sure no one saw that coming.
Chewbacca is sexier than Kai…..
This is true, Chewbacca is sexy. And he does have much more luxuriant hair than Kai. But I think Kai’s conversational skills are streaks ahead of Chewie’s, thus making Kai a bit more desirable than a Wookie. 😛
Pet, I have the feeling if I managed to get Kai in that closet, he’d borrow a line from Number 6.
Streudel: Come on, Kai. I’ve got all night to nag and whine ’til you give it up…by hook or by crook…
Kai: You’ll not get it!
I’m not willing to fight you for him, but Number 6 is delicious, too. 😀
Don’t have to even think about it. Lexx has the sexiest stars of any sci fi show, IMHO. Not a bum steer in the bunch.
Kai is the sexiest male sci fi character I’ve ever seen, period.
I have to disagree with the commonly held misconception that Lexx is pornography. I have always understood the difference between pornography and erotica to be this: Pornography shows the actual sexual act where erotica merely alludes to it. Lexx is replete with innuendo, and does have occaisional nudity, but it definitely falls under the definition of erotica, IMHO.
As to the Key’s methods of transfer, I could only hazard the guess that the Beans wanted to shake up the dynamic of the show by having others be able to take the Key without having to kill Stanley to do it.
I have to agree that Uther does remind me of Ozzy. I thought that the first time I saw ‘Magic Baby’. Whether it was intentional on the Beans parts is anyone’s guess. I’ve never heard it mentioned in any interviews or chats.
Agreed. Trolls are tempting and tasty, but they leave you with heartburn afterwards. I’ve had my fun and now I’m done. 😀
Sorry, Dudelove, I’m still not entertained. 🙄 Perhaps you should peruse your list of B-Grade celebrities again to find a slightly less irritating persona than your last two. Barney or George Bush come to mind. Or, better yet, how ’bout impersonating a mime? 😈
This is such a tough question, but one I’m fond of debating over and over again. As a matter of fact, it was debating this very question on Sci Fi Fandom’s board that got me involved in the Lexxian community. ( It’s a long story ) Anyway, I voted for Zev, only because I have to pick one.
I am a huge fan of the movies, so I think that colors my judgement. I found this Zev so angsty, so easy to feel sorry for. When you see her running her hand over Kai’s cryopod with the heart wrenching violins playing in the backround and her big blue eyes looking so sad, it just tugs at your very soul. There is something very sweet and innocent about her devotion to Kai at this point in the series.
In a way, it’s unfair to compare Xenia and Eva in their portrayal of the role. They are both so different. They are ZevXev at different points in her evolution. Yes, Xev is harder to feel sorry for because she is more independant. But it’s probable that Eva would have played Zev differently as the series went on, as I believe Nursewhen pointed out.
Even MM had said he believed Xev loved Kai out of habit, not in the passionate way that Zev did. I like to think Xev had a deeper love for Kai than Zev. Hers was based on thousands of years together as friends. When she grieves for Kai in Yo Way Yo ( one of Xenia’s finest acting moments ) and when they have that final kiss, there’s no doubt that she still loved him in some deep way.
Oh, hell…I’m all undecided again. 😕
It would have been incredible to have seen the two together in S4– Zev could have been Xev’s “other self”. That way we could have done a head-to-head comparison!
Lizard, I’ve often thought that premise would make an interesting alternate S4 fanfic. It would make a fantastic character study.
This is my favorite Lexx movie as well. It answered a lot of questions I had since I saw the series in the 4th season before I saw the movies. I actually liked getting to see Stan pay Feppo and Schmoor back. I also feel Gigashadow is triumphant Stan wise for the Stanley Tweedle song. I loved seeing him stick it to those heckling brains.
I’m not sure whether the Insect Essence motivated Kai to be more emotional. It’s certainly a credible theory. But he seemed somewhat emotional to me when he was on the bridge with HDS in IWHS.
For me, I think the Beans just hadn’t decided how they wanted to develop the Kai character. But, that’s just a guess.
My favorite Kai mushy moment in Gigashadow isn’t the kiss, but the ” That’s My Baby ” line and following pout. I thought his interaction with Squish was adorable. Yes, I do realise how incredibly sappy I am. 😆
I wondered if he was being emotional when he said he had no feelings about fulfilling the prophesy. He is hesitant in answering, and one could take that as him taking the time to ponder whether he indeed has any feelings, and really meaning it when he says he has no feelings. Or, it could be taken as him deriving no satisfaction from avenging his people, since any crime victim can tell you, there never really is any satisfaction even when justice is served. Or, it could be taken as him being too emotional to discuss it, so he shuts Zev out.
Ordinarily, I’d take him at face value when he says he has no feeling on something, but his character was so different in the movies than the series, it’s hard to say.
I have a life; I just choose to ignore it.
Ditto. Unfortunately, it’s been going down the crapper while I wasn’t looking. I’ve been trying to stay offline and get my RL in order. But where do I find myself? In a virtual Pub. Oh, well. At least I don’t have to ” one eyeball ” it home from this Pub.
I thought it was interesting that Kai and Xev wanted to stay with the pan-dimension theater troupe instead of facing Mantrid. Stanley convinced them to fight.
Over on the other board, we had a thread going ” Let’s hear it for Brian “. At some point I posed the question ” What do you think were Stanley’s finer moments? ” This one was at the top of my list. Stanley isn’t a coward just because he’s got some sense of self preservation, that’s him just using some common sense. When the s@$% really hits the fan, Stan is there for his friends, ready to go down swinging. Stan took out Vlad when Kai had no fight left in him and Xev was certainly in no position to do anything. In Gigashadow, when Zev’s waiting to die in the Moth, and Kai’s floating out in space helpless, here comes Stan like the cavalry in the Lexx. I could go on at length with other examples, but I’ll stop.
Stan is the Man. He’s brave because he has genuine fear, unlike the others, and yet, he has done what needed to be done time and time again. No, I didn’t miss the point of the exercise with Brigadoom. And I am a huge Stan Fan.
My point was simply that as a Kai drooler, I do realize that my perception of Lexx is skewed towards enjoying episodes that have Kai physically in front of the camera, not napping in his box. If this means I have to look at retina burning costumes that even RuPaul would reject as ostentatious, or have to listen to sub par singing, well that’s the price I pay to drool. I know that’s shallow, but it’s just me being perfectly honest.
I liked the look into Kai’s past because he is my favorite character, looks aside. But let’s imagine for argument’s sake that the writers had chosen to tell the story of Stanley’s past as an Ostral B heretic instead of doing Brigadoom. Let’s say they had, I don’t know, maybe used a plot device similar to the pan dimensional theatre in order to acheive Stanley’s change of heart. Let’s say that in this alternate episode, they’re in a place where you can live out your past, but you an also see what you’d like to be different, kind of a take off on the fantasy sequence in Supernova minus the razor ride. This place is outside of time and space, and Xev wants to stay there forever with Kai. Kai, of course, doesn’t care what happens. Perhaps as a result of having past decisions replayed for him, Stanley wants to go down fighting, not spending the rest of his days replaying the past, or running to a coward’s death at the center. Stan convinces Xev that living in a fantasy world with Kai is futile because he still can’t love her the way she wants, and that it is better for her to die by his side than live a hollow, meaningless existence with him. Kai, of course, wouldn’t be hard to convince to be suicidal in the name of a hopeless cause.
You’ve just acheived the same story objective minus an episode full of singing and bad wardrobes. I would have enjoyed that type of episode immensely too. But it wouldn’t likely be one of my favorites if Kai was only on camera for five minutes.
I do appreciate the fact that you’re making sure I don’t miss the finer nuances of Lexx because of a haze of drool clouding my perception. 😀 I see the plot points, I just see them through Kai colored glasses.
This is funny. I think I just demonstrated the Purity Test. I rated a Sadgeezer, one who would argue with a Manic Acedemic endlessly for no good reason. One who misses details and yet seems to enjoy the story more because of it. 😆 That is, if you take that sort of thing seriously. 😉
I don’t watch Buffy, so I can’t speak to how it’s musical episode compares to Brigadoom. I just wanted to toss out my two cents worth on Brigadoom.
It’s one of my favorite episodes, but I can definitely some of it’s negative points. But I’ll start off with why I like it.
First, let me make a confession. I am what’s known in the fandom as a Kai slut, or drooler if you want to be polite. Those of you that know me are doing this 🙄 and going ” Well, Duh! ” 😛 , but this is for those who don’t know me.
That being said, I realise that a large chunk of why I like Brigadoom is because it’s Kai centered, and therefore eye candy. I freely admit this and make absolutely no apologies for it.
Here’s shallow reason Number 2. The gratuitous use of the Brunnen-G Battle Hymn. It’s catchy as hell, and I love any opportunity to sing along with it. Feel free to play the 790 ” The simple amuse me ” line in your mind here. Yes, I am easily entertained. 😆
As Sad said, in alot of ways it is just a bit-o-fun. Also, I think it was also done to make Michael happy.
I do actually have a few less shallow reasons why I like it.
For one, it’s an expository episode. It not only looks into the character of Kai, but Xev and Stanley as well. It demonstrates basic themes that we’ll see with their characters for the rest of the series. Xev loves Kai in a true sense in that she is willing to die for him or with him. We’re reminded that Kai is destined to be a tragic figure in whether he’s dead or alive. And we see that Stanley, when backed in an extreme corner, will come out fighting with his friends. It sets up the ending of the 2nd season by reminding us that what’s happened before will happen again.
Another reason I like it is that it delves into the Brunnen-G society in a way that the movies did not. And the idea of making it a musical does have some credence when you consider that they are a race of romantic warriors. The Poet Man, and indeed the architecture on Brunnis 1 seem to leads one to believe this is an integral part of Brunnen-G society, so their story should be told in an artsy fartsy way.
Now, here’s my knocks on it.
1) The wardrobe.
Yes, I can see why the Beans chose to kit up a race of Romantic Warriors in festive, bright, even effeminate clothing. It is consistent with the type of people they are as a race. However, the costumes simply hurt my eyes. I can still see an image of Kai burned into my retinas for 2 days after watching Brigadoom.2)The Singing.
I think it was Sad who once said Kai had a voice like an ashtray. I have to admit, while he does have maybe the potential to become a better singer, as it stands now, he shouldn’t quit his day job. Although to be perfectly fair, Brigadoom was written in 3 days, or something like that, so it’s not like they ever got to really rehearse the songs. I’m sure there wasn’t much practice involved with any of the singing done on Lexx. I thought he sounded much better in A Midsummer’s Nightmare, within a lower vocal range.I tend to like Lexx, warts and all. Sure, Brigadoom bombed with some people and blew others away with it’s perceived brilliance, but it was different and memorable no matter whether you loved or hated it. Of course, I liked S4 too, if that gives you any idea how far my ” warts and all ” philosophy goes. But that’s a whole other can of worms. 😉
. While I would also prefer an English stage actor from the repertory tradition that is not so well known, ‘though I would quite like Rowan Atkinson in full blown Bean in the part. If they’re going to change the lead character at all they might as well change it big time.
I’m with you on that one Logan. I’m guessing the Bean approach to escape from the Village would be hilarious. I mean, if the man uses an M-80 dropped in a paint can to paint his apartment, you can only imagine what he’d come up with. I’m also thinking of all of those wonderful Bean facial expressions as they try to break him. It would be funny as hell to see them try to get information out of a man that never talks. 😆 I think he’d drive them so crazy that they’d tie him to a Rover and send him back to London.
Actually, Rowan is such a brilliant actor, I could see him pulling it off as PMcG wrote it, too.
As for an American James Bond, is it true that they considered Tom Cruise
* Streudel shivers as a cold, foul, evil wind chills her to the bone* That would be a sign of the Apocolypse, wouldn’t it? Did I just hear hoofbeats? 😈
Here’s an idea that I think you’d like (in fact I’m very surprised you didn’t suggest it), maybe not a British actor, and maybe not an American, maybe, just maybe, a Canadian! you guessed it, Michael McManus (aka Kai on LEXX) as No. 6, now there’s an idea! He’s the right age, he has the right look, and it wouldn’t even matter if he brought fiery intensity to the part ’cause the ladies would be smouldering enough as it is!
Who is this Michael McManus fellow you speak of? 😕 ❓ He’s good looking, and he can act too? 😯 I should check him out on Lexx sometime. I rarely watch Lexx, so I never really took much notice of that Kai chap.
Sorry Logan, smug mode cancelled. 😉 I’m just so proud of myself for resisting the overwhelming urge to shout ” Michael could do it! And he really could use the work! He’ll work for furniture! ” from the rooftops. Heheheh! Besides I had a feeling someone might just bring him up. Aren’t you proud of me? Maybe there’s hope for me yet…Nah!
Since you broached the subject, yes, I had actually thought of Michael. He definitely is suited to the role on many levels. But not even he could hope to do better than simply not dishonor the spirit of The Prisoner. Perhaps, if Michael could through some Trek-like time anamoly, go back in time and play the role as PMcG wrote it, and he was of course the age he is now, then I could most definitely see him defining the role. But I absolutely can not see anyone ever following Patrick McGoohan defining the role, no matter how brilliant the performance.
However, just to play devil’s advocate for a moment, I’ll try to imagine Michael in the role. I can see it now…Number 6MM is running down the beach and encounters the Rover. He picks it up, tilts his head, pouts, and says, ” I seem to remember having a fondness…for balloons. ”
Alright, I’m going to be serious for a moment. I have two problems with Michael as Number 6.
1)Although he is classically trained, and he has managed to stifle his Toronto accent to a large degree when he’s speaking softly as Kai usually does, he still has it heavily when he raises his voice. ( Think of what he sounds like when he yells ” STANLEEYY ” ) Now, don’t get me wrong, I think the Canadian accent is adorable. ( We say ” O ” the same way here in Maryland, so I’m not poking fun at his accent ) I’m just saying that Number 6 yells alot, so Michael would need some intensive vocal training to do the British accent convincingly. Or he’d need to have Patrick Stewart be a donor for a vocal cord transplant.
2) Michael seems fated by the Acting Gods to never appear in a performance sans an atrocious hairdo and wardrobe. I seriously doubt that the Fickle Acting Fates would conspire to leave his weasel wigs behind. And I couldn’t bear the thought of the dapper Number 6 looking like he had roadkill glued to his head.
The other episode would be the one where he thinks he’s escaped only to find that it was all a trick (forgot the episode name).
The Chimes of Big Ben. That is an awesome episode. Blew my mind the first time I saw it.
Picking a favorite is almost impossible. Fall Out is brilliant, of course, and if you ask me tommorrow, I’ll probably say that one’s my favorite. But I also have a real fondness for the second to last one, Once Upon A Time. Although, I really consider them one big episode.
It is so fascinating to watch the hunter become the hunted in this one. It is an excellent example of how people come to power in order to exert their will, but in the end, they become trapped too. Number 6 tells Number 2 at some point that he is just as much a Prisoner as the rest of the Villagers.
The acting in this episode is as good as any in any theatrical production anywhere, anytime, IMHO. According to PMcG, this episode was so mentally demanding that Leo McKern had a nervous breakdown during the filming. Although he later forgave PMcG, Leo McKern was rather perturbed at how hard PMcG worked him on this ep. Apparently, there was a hiatus in between Once Upon A Time and Fall Out to give Leo a break.
I’m not sure Leo McKern would have agreed, but the breakdown was well worth the result for the fans.
I’m sure you’re going to get better answers than what I came come up with for the question ” What is The Prisoner all about? “, but I’m going to give it a go.
Patrick McGoohan plays a high ranking member of British intelligence ( I believe it is mentioned that he is the # 1 agent at some point ) who decides to resign. He does not give a reason to his superiors other than he needs a vacation, although I believe he also has a moral imperative for resigning.
As he’s packing for his vacation, we see him gassed and he wakes up in the Village. The Village is inhabited by other people from all sides of world politics who have information that unknown powers that be are after. Each Villager is assigned a Number and is brainwashed into accepting their enforced confinement there. The Powers That Be there have extremely persuasive methods for indoctrinating the unwilling. There is a huge science fiction/surrealistic element to the methods and workings of the Village, lots of use of never before seen technologies.
Each week, Number 6 attempts to discover who Number 1 is, and how he can escape. I know this may sound boring to those who don’t get into spy flicks, but there is so much more to it than that. The premise is great, but to me, it’s the execution that puts the Prisoner far beyond the realm of your average spy flick. Number 6’s struggle to remain a free man despite his captivity is a treatise on the state of human existence as much as it’s entertainment. It is hugely open to interpretation. In fact, Pat McGoohan hated to give details about the show for fear it would inhibit other from drawing their own conclusions.
In short, it is something that must be experienced. Any synopsis would fail to do it justice.
Sure, you will find yourself scratching your head at times, well, most the time, but that is what makes the show. It is definitely a thinking person’s show. You find yourself watching it over and over again, unable to let it go. It’s influence is as insidious as the Village itself.
One more thing…Patrick McGoohan is one of the most riveting actors you will ever see, IMHO. Even if I didn’t get the plot, I’d still watch it for the impassioned performances of PMcG. I can’t say enough about what an awesome actor he is.
So, I hope that helps. Run on out and find The Prisoner. You won’t be sorry you did.
Be seeing you! 😉
I am cruising the internet now for the answer to that, haven’t run into anything yet. But by hook or by crook…
Leo McKern is the only one I know anything about. I understand he died not too long ago. A sad loss of a fine actor, to be sure. He was THE nomber 2 in my mind.
Well, I’ll preface this by saying this is all just my opinion, which of course is always the case when it comes to interpretation of The Prisoner.
Pat McGoohan once said in an interview ( and I’m paraphrasing here ) that he beieves that we all walk a fine line between conformity and freedom. Sometimes one must know when one has to work within the system in order to beat the system. He mentioned that having to sign in at the front desk to do the interview reduced him to a “number” so to speak. The interviewer asked him why he didn’t just refuse. He said something along the lines of having to pick and choose his battles over when to be labeled and filed. He went on to say how it’s just a condition of living that we do need some order, or the world would fly apart.
So I think him wearing his number was an effort on his part to make the small concession in order to further his larger agenda. Sometimes one cannot be overt in their defiance, although Number 6 certainly was at times.
Also, if he hadn’t tried to fit into the village at least a little, he never could of gotten any of the other Villagers to get anywhere near him for fear of the consequences.
To my knowledge, Number 6’s name is never mentioned on the show, or in any interviews. Of course, I could be wrong.
So I’m packing for my Memorial Day holiday ( the weather here in Maryland is rather London-like at the moment) and the next thing you know, I’m here. Bizzare, eh?
Thanks a million, Sad! 😀 You sure do take care of your peeps. And congrats on your new position, Logan. I know you’ll do a fabulous job.
I would like to apply for the position of the butler. He seemed to be the only one with job security around the Village. That, and you know how I love midgets. 😉

Wow, that was a great thread. My vote goes to Mr.Bean in the Prisoner movie, too. I would’ve like to have seen Edmund Blackadder trying to break Number 6 in Once Upon A Time. Baldrick as Number One would’ve made a statement about the state of government.
Oh, I’m in a Lexx thread, aren’t I? 😳 I’m a great one for veering off-topic, too. 😆 Yeah, I like Lexx, too…alot. And the new Lexx.com BB rocks! How’s that? 😉
Holy s@#*, that might be the hottest pic ever! I’m off to Lubka’s wonderland of vidcap delights now…
Kai clearly did show emotion in the LEXX movies, but frankly, I always felt that his “The dead do not” talk was pretence and an excuse … His constant repetition to me showed that he really felt rather sorry for himself being dead. He’d say “The dead do not feel” to hide his emotional vulnerability (partially due to his impotence I believe). I wrote a little essay before @ LEXX.com on this; probably been lost to the ether.
I always thought the Dead Do Nots were a cop out, too. He shows a certain level of emotion all throughout the series. In Nook, he looks pleased with himself, he looks pissed repeatedly. He even rolls his eyes when he talks about Stanley going to Fire.
I do think the impotence would have something to do wth his desire to repress his human tendencies. I also think a desire to repress the pain of having his homeworld destroyed and the guilt of 2000 years of killing would be a motivating factor for his stoicism.
Fascinating insights, Logan. I would’ve liked to read that essay.
A fugly wardrobe doesn’t seem to hamper his appeal, either. I don’t believe another man on this planet could pull off the ” Live Kai ” look.
More proof of what I’ve always said, you just can’t ugly that man up. I’ve never seen Speaking Parts ( bad MM drooler, Streudel thrashes herself vigorously ) aside from a handful of vidcaps. Now I see what Michael means when he said it was a bit painful to watch himself in Speaking Parts because of how effeminate his character is. As awful as his hair looks, he still is absolutely drop dead gorgeous, though. What year was Speaking Parts filmed? He looks so young!
I think these would make fantastic Kai Kaptions. Definitely some major ha ha potential there. 😆
Thanks so much for the input and kind words, everybody!
Yes, the angles drove me bonkers. I used one of the pictures in the Sad downloads for a model, because he looks so, I don’t know, warrior-like in it. I believe it’s from the end of Supernova.
This was my first real attempt at a subject turned at an angle, head on is much easier ( no ears to deal with 🙂 ) I think Frey is right about the eyebrow and cheek thing, they make his eyes look a little more close set than they really are.
The nose was hell to do. I feel it’s one of his most striking features, so I’d like to keep tweaking on that and get it just so. I think I’ll work on the ear a bit, too. I need the practice on ears and hands.
Everyone’s suggestions were real helpful. After you’ve looked at a piece you’ve been working for an extended period of time, you start to lose perspective, so it helps tremendously to have outside input.
I thought he looks rather sad to me, too. Kai would say the Dead do not feel, but I’ve always thought he looked somewhat angsty in Supernova. Maybe it’s also some of my view of Kai projected in there, he’s such a tragic figure to me. I consider a high compliment that everyone feels I brought some of my own interpretation to it.
Well, thanks again, and I’ll probably be back with some Z/Xev or Stan drawings. The actors in Lexx are so unique looking, not cookie cutter Hollywood types. They make fascinating subjects.
Wow, I’m a Kai drooler and former Metallica fan, and I never thouht about how apt that song is to Kai. They could’ve put it in the next act of Brigadoom if the crew had stayed to do the show.

Ah, if it bombs can we kill it off, or modify it too encompass more shows (like The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek, Space 1999, Lost in Space etc.)? I’d kind of like to see an 60’s and 70’s Sci-fi shows forum, but start it off as The Prisoner forum — just some thoughts. Might take a little time and a lot of hard work to really catch on, but I’d like to give it a shot.
I wish I had both the time and good judgement to be a moderator on a forum, but being the busy mother of a 6 year old precludes that. However, I would post up a storm on a Prisoner forum, or a 60’s and 70’s Sci Fi forum. The Prisoner is one of those shows that is made to be discussed endlessly. My husband and I are both big fans, and we’ll recommend it to anyone who’ll listen.
. Okay, I’d still really like a Prisoner forum…
Me, too! Pretty please, with sugar on top! 😀
Just stopped by to say I’m not the love ’em and leave ’em sort. I now consider myself a Sadgeezer…well, a Sad-lexx-dot-geez-commer, or something like that.
I’ve only been by the Stan thread at Lexx.com so far, but I like what I see. Looks a heck of alot like Sad’s. That is definitely a good thing. 😀
Between the orders for MMphetamine/tranquilliser, requests for the life-like Last of the Brunnen-G Spot inflatable MM, and working on the latest upgrades to the Divine Assassinator 3000 ( i.e. an E.G.G. beater attachment )I’ve had those chimps working their hairy knuckles to the bone. I don’t know when they’re going to find the time to write my chapter for me too.
Hello Lois,
You shouldn’t get banned for 790 quotes…you should be banned so you can spend some time watching Lexx…before I start dropping cartoon anvils on you instead of Fourth! 👿 LL not watching Lexx…I must be riding the Narcolounger. Say it’s all a bad dream Lois.
And Fourth, I hope E.G.G. makes lead umbrellas….Muahahahahahaha…ha! 😈 Enough smack talk…write, write, write like the wind! Drop an anvil on me if you must…just don’t kill me with anticipation!
I’ve got the tap dancing chimps working on a new batch of MM tranquilizer as we speak! Should be ready by the next installment 😉
Well, it’s a good thing you’re handling this, Nursewhen, because I don’t even know what the hell a format effector is. Cartoon weaponry is the only technology I dabble in.
Don’t know, Meep. I think Nursewhen is handling the posting of previous episodes. I think she’s going through them to edit out the actor’s names, so that may take a while. I’d say check out their websites for now.
Uber, Uber, Uber!!! You’re here and my world is right again! TG 790, glad you found us!
I think I’ll start right off on the name thing. I agree with Nursewhen that keeping initials is a good idea, especially since most of us use them all the time anyway. However, I am quite partial to Diva for Eva.
I’m all for Xavia Seabird. That pesky ” inner drooler ” keeps saying ” McManroot ” and ” McMan-oh-Man “, but McMannors is probably the more sensible route. I’m also fine with Bryn Dempsey. I thought Jim Hattersfield was a bit obscure, but quite frankly, I can’t think of anything better, so I think it’ll work.
It looks like it’s about to become Looney Tunes meets Lexx meets Mad magazine. 😀
Everyone here has been most kind to listen to our moaning and complaining about missing our Mommyboard, it is appreciated. And let’s just say most people definitely do not invite me into their home when they’ve heard some of my ” cool-whacky ” ideas, so it is nice to be welcomed despite some of my strange notions, or indeed because of them.
I know I will be a regular here even when Lexx.com is back up. I’ve been a Red Dwarf fan since the beginning, so I will be making my way over to that forum as well.
Thanks again for your hospitality. I will certainly be letting the other Lexx.commers know how lovely the people here are when I get back. 😀
I am starting to feel like Wyle E Coyote
And that’s why you’re so damn entertaining! I love Wyle E. Coyote. Not as if you couldn’t already tell. Combining two of the most ridiculous TV Shows I’ve ever watched into one story has been a real blast for me. Your character has been such killer comic relief. I have to ask, do you do a Foghorn Leghorn impression too? 🙂
I am enjoying myself here. There’s so much to look at, it’s taking me a while to check everything out. I plan to check out the other forums, too. I have always been a huge sci fi fan, so I will definitely be here even when I’m back at Lexx.com.
I think I’ve become hooked enough on chatting with others about Lexx that just one board isn’t enough to get my fix. I think I will be making the rounds from here on out.
Hi Gela!
Good to see you here. How are you doing?
Strudle:
Take all the time ya need, coz this time round fourth is going to come out on top Muwahahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaa
Never underestimate the power of Acme, defender of truth, justice, and inflatable sex toys everywhere. Do you not know my top agent has the gift for writing cartoon violence? Does not the expression ” Anvil Chorus ” strike fear in your perfidious heart? When we get back to our story, bring an umbrella. Muahahahaha!
I, too, am 1 day away from getting chased by the little guys in white coats…well, they’ve actually been chasing me with a butterfly net for years. But, yeah, this is really beginning to get to me, too. 😥
Thanks for the link, I’m gonna go check it out now. Stiff upper lip and all that. We’ll get through this together.
I have a feeling I’d still get us sued. I mean, when I think of the things I could do with a name like McManus… 😉 and I don’t think Brian ” Goin’ ” Downey would cut it, either. 😯
Its a good thing he killed MY doll and not yours! Spam is a fate far worse than death! 😉 And I do agree this one ” merits punishment beyond death “. I’m tapping into “Her Divine Streudel” mode as we speak. The last thing the Perfidious one needed was time for me to stew over this one. Muahaahahaha!
Huggles! I’ve been a bit like a lost puppy myself. And the fic withdrawal is killing me, too. They say revenge is a dish best served cold, but waiting to avenge the untimely demise of my inflatable Mikey is driving me nuts!. I have such plans for the Perfidious One…Muahahahaha!!!! Perhaps another stinkbomb is in order…Hmmmm.
I will begin trolling the internet for places to post just in case. We will finish this story somehow or another. 😀
Alot of boards have that rule concerning real names. Our story falls into this weird realm with the characters having taken the identities of the actors that play them. But I can see why the rule is necessary.
We’ll figure something out, I’m sure. Nursewhen, I’ll be e-mailing you that last chapter as soon as I leave here.
I’ve got to learn to type faster.
I’ve been thinking about the ending part, too. I think that will require an e-mail conference of some sort. That is too much responsibility for one person. But we’ll burn that bridge when we come to it. I’m still having too much fun on this ride to stop yet, too. My only thought on the end is it should be truly Lexx like. Chaos, and all that, y’know?
Should we wait and see what happens at Lexx.com? Souds like Fourth is pretty busy at Uni. I’ve really been thrown for a loop here, and I’m not sure what to do. I’d like to keep posting on Lexx.com for those who started reading it over there, and also post it here, if everyone is in agreement.
Now that you’ve hooked up with Fifi, I think I’m going to have to do some upgrades to the Divine Assassinator 3000. The honor of my inflatable Romantic Warrior is at stake here, y’know?
How should we proceed folks? Should we post all of our chapters here first before we go on? Who’s looked at the fan fic FAQ? I guess we’ll have to see what happens at Lexx.com before deciding what to do on that end. I have so many questions.
I just wanted to say that one of the creative endeavours that first got me interested in participating in Lexx fandom was the Frey’s Kaption Kontest. There are some truly funny people posting their entries there, and I happened to think you’re last contest winner was funny as hell. It’s nice to be able to tell you I got a huge laugh out of it. 😆
