[quote=”Wille”]I am talking of two scenes from the second version of the season 4 episode intro:
[b]1. Xev is firing on something with a big weapon which is spitting fire flashes, Xev has a hose over her shoulder[/b]
[b]2. nearly the end of the intro, the camera is approaching some guy sitting in the middle of a huge hangar or something, his head is wrapped up with bandages, only one eye and his mouth are visible (maybe it is Mantrid???)[/b]
Can you tell me what episodes these scenes are from?[/quote]
This pic from 4.08 Vlad? [img]http://www.thefrey.com/images/Lexx408_551.JPG[/img]
I looked at several of the episode caps for season 4 and couldn’t remember seeing her with a big weapon, but I do have CRS now.
And Ships that Search. I really loved the Brain Ship books. Well most of them. There was one planet based one that had something about psi warlocks or some d*mn thing. Yuk.
The the others were excellent. Loved Helga and Hypatia. 😀 I even liked Simon. 😀
The Ship that Searched was my favorite.
I liked the whale one the best. Spock humour just rolls me. And often when some one is being more clueless than the law allows about computers, either theBrother or I will croone “Computttttter” into the mouse. It never works, they don’t understand it, but it cracks us up. 😀
Any one see the stuff about Lucas bringing Star Wars back stories to the small screen in the form of live action and a cartoon?
Apparently no ewoks will be involved this time.
I see that the NY Times has picked up on the Simpson’s Article. They had a long article about it today saying stuff like.
[quote]If there were an entry in the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” for “painfully disappointed,” a picture of M.J. Simpson would pop up.….. He said the movie – a satirical tale of a bathrobe-clad human, Arthur Dent, who escapes Earth just before it’s destroyed to make way for an interstellar highway by the villainous Vogons – lacked the book’s humor and energy.
Disney, which sank $50 million into the film, must have been horrified. The studio, which is distributing “Hitchhiker’s,” has been heavily courting Simpson, even inviting him to the set last year.
….the studio faces a tough audience. Fans of the “Hitchhiker’s” novel and its four sequels have been waiting 25 years for the movie, and in the run-up to its opening date this Friday, they’re excited and extremely nervous about what Hollywood will do to their precious book – especially since the movie will stand as a tribute to Adams, who died tragically in 2001 at the age of 49.
…..BATTLES ONLINE – Simpson, who cut a memorable figure during his visit to the “Hitchhiker’s” set last year in a “Hitchhiker’s” hat and a “Star Wars” tie, has been working hard to bring the movie down, even implying on his site that any positive reviews in cyberspace are plants by Disney’s marketing department.
[/quote]I myself thought it looked interesting. I read the book, but way by no means a diehard fan. I imagine their biggest fear is the early viewers (who are diehard fans) might hate it and start a really bad buzz against it.
[quote=”kokopelli”]Hi TheFrey:
Where does that name come from?[/quote]My father and his father before him.
Congratulations on the Grad School thing. ;D Way to go.
I hope you get to go, it is a blast. Non-stop activity, it is impossible to be bored there. ;D
It is a movie. Fox’s $100 million adaptation of the Marvel comic book, Fantastic Four, which follows the adventures of four friends who become Earth’s premier superhero team after they are exposed to cosmic radiation.
They have the most annnnnnnnnnnoying website at this [url]http://www.fantasticfourmovie.com/us/flash/index.html[/url]

Awww, Johnny would make a cute Stan. 😀
But really, an iPod? Why not a Sony PSP? Or better, the untimate in eviiiiiiiil a MicroSerf X-box? 😈 😛 😈
[quote=”Rin”]Hey guys.
I think Keanu, or i dunno, Colin Farrel would make a pretty good Kai, hmm, too stick with the sexiness, i’d even go with Josh Hartnett…..though i don’t think he’d be capable of such a brilliant role, come to think of it…would anyone?[/quote]
Yes this Ioan guy. What do you think? [url]http://www.fantasticfourmovie.com/us/flash/Wallpapers/MrFantastic2/1280.html[/url]
[quote=”jerhume”]How about Alan Rickman as Prince?[/quote]
Oh yes! Excellent choice. I loved him in Die Hard and can totally see him in this. He does snide evil so well.
I saw a trailer this afternoon. Looks pretty interesting, amazingly enough. The site for this show has been updated and the movie trailer is in it. Opens the end of this month. the guy playing Ford Perfect seems… perfect. 😀
Ummm, Saddy. I saw bits and pieces of the Charles & Cammie wedding and I have a question.
What is with the hats? I saw stuff that would have been right at home as an alien growth on someones head in a bad sci-fi flick.
[quote=”jodi”]l see what you mean, do they have child maintence payments in the USA? if so that man sure better have lots of coin in his pocket, they take 25% of a mans income here per child if you split up . . . be it the mans fault or not :shock:[/quote]
We have something simular, and yes it happens no matter who is at fault, since children have to be supported no matter what the parents do. I would imimagine the ororiginal thinking on this one went something along the lines of “you married him/her and choose to have a child with them, so if he/she turns out to be a jerk who files for divorce, utultimatelyou picked them in the first place, you still have obligations to the children who do not have a say in who their parents may be. ”
Sadly though, we have many parents who if not granted (or don’t want) custody begrudge every penny of this money since they don’t want to give it to “THEM” Idiots, the pack of them, unless you are a mega rich person, child maintenance amounts never cover the entire cost of raising a child. .
Okay, I am thinking pretty big budget here. I would cast Ioan Gruffudd of Hornblower and Arthur fame as Kai. He has a good strong look and a good physical presence.

I think Jim Carrey would make a good Stan. He can do abject coward and then swing into minor hero mode. [url]http://www.jimcarreywebsite.com/jhughesbiopic.gif[/url]
For Xev, I like Catherine Zeta-Jones. She can do innocent and strength. [url]http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/catherine-zeta-jones/catherine-zeta-jones01.jpg[/url]
If Prince was in it, I think Dennis Leary would do excellent at that role. He has a charmingly cruel manner that can change from light hearted to menacing from one breath to the next. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/images/400/denisleary_1.jpg[/url]
I am sorry, but I must put my foot down. I want my Bunny and priest to be original flavor please 😀
[quote=”LexxLurker”] I still can’t think of anyone to play Lyekka though, hrmm.[/quote]
No? Madonna springs to mind as the ultimate ManEater. I am thinking of that scary look she had for the blonde ambition tour. Of course….. if we are talking maneater and scary, perhaps we need to save her for ‘giggy.’ 😉
Ha! I like that one! 😀
I do hope you are keeping these files in layers. I think it would be great to reissue them in December with 2006 calendar info on them. I know I don’t normally print out my calendar a month at a time. Mainly because I have to flip ahead so offten to write notes to myself. But if these were available for all 12 months of 2006, they would definiately be one that I would print out. 😆
I knew a kid from school who while in college use to have cheerios and budwiser occassionally for breakfast. Apparently the idea of eating the cherrios dry when he had no milk did not occur to him.
I personally would hurl trying something like that, but he pointed out that the mornings that it happen, were times when he was still hung over from indulging the night before. He was (at that time) a firm believer in ‘hair of the dog’ remedies and decided that since he was going to drink the beer for his hang over anyhow, he might as well save time by pouring it over his breakfast. YUK! 😛 🙁 😛 🙁 😛 🙁
Rolf sent two pictures from the Donovan Mini-series ‘The Conclave.’ One is with Brian Blessed, after he had become Pope. The other is a painted picture of Rolf’s Cardinal Bessarion character. Paul Donnovan wanted Rolf painted as this Cardinal and a portrait artist from Halifax, who was also working on the show did it.

Oh come on, I can not be the only person who eats a weird breakfast once in a while. 🙂
Somewhere out there in ‘geezer land there is some one who occassionally has cold spegettii for breakfast. 😉
Alright! Daleglen how good to see you again. As always we look forward to your insights and opinions. Or at least we would if ever you would post anything that was not shilling for a convention.
Dude (or Dudette) try posting something else once in a while. You have my solomn word that it will not cause any of your body parts to drop off. Or even, perhaps even a follow up post on how this convention or that went. Ohhhh, or even better a short post or two about a guest or two that relates to one of the forums here. I promise you, it won’t hurt a bit. 😛
Actually Headge Sci-fi is almost a new place now. They have moderators there now, and a “This is offensive” button on the threads. Very, very quiet there troll wise these days.
Good luck then. I hope you have a wonderful trip. 🙂
Sadly, my travel plans this summer only include the *first* family reunion that we have ever had. Talk about your money draining activities. I will be lucky to have enough gas to get home, let alone having enough to go to any cons this year. 😛
Ah well. Perhaps when you come back, you will post something on it?

[quote=”lexxrobotech”]Must be an American thing. :roll:[/quote]
No, it is a business thing. When they buy the rights (or rip them off via an uncredited knock-off) they then control the flow of the show, they have the ability to directly decide what, when, who, and how for a lot of different asspects. What you wonder? Well, Salary, hiring, firing, writer control, spin -off build ups, scheduling and that most important of all things…. profit. Especially profit from secondary sources like merchandising and product placement.
Oh, and they of course have first hand control over the people they will be making stars. None of this kid glove treatment required because the stars of the show opperate under different labor laws or are in another country and must be coaxed into doing (or not doing) various things. We own ’em, we can just tell them what to do.
It is all very simple you see. 😉
This is totally OT, at least as far as this thread. But…. it is Star Trek.
I am kinda, sorta, welll just…. What in the heck was Leonard Nimoy doing having an uncredited part as a Driver in a Bangles Video??? (video “Going Down to Liverpool”)
What in the heck has this guy NOT done? 😕
[quote=”Sidhecafe”]Lord of the Rings The Musical, to open in Toronto…I can’t breathe……….trouble see….-ing……….no………n-………nooooooo….[/quote]
Oh come on. Singing hobbits. What could be cuter? Oh and steely eyed men, with much 5-oclock shadow crooing love songs. *sigh…… oh for a razor, hot towel and some shaving cream.
Of course….. one wonders who they will be crooing to? Being out by themselves.
OMFG! Could this be a Musical version of the LOTR – The Very Secret Dairies!!??
Dispite numerous attempts at a convo, cell phone reception problems in Texas and failing batteries in Flordia, I got a bit more info.
Anyhow, the site was apparently not abandoned, hacked or suspended. I could not get the full story due to the choppy communication problem, but I think what he said was that somewhere in the chain, between his own servers and the site (registar?) a change in protocol was made that should not have affected individual sites, but in some cases it did.
So it should be back up again soon.
The domain does not expire until 2006 per Betterwhois.com. Also the webmaster informs me that is it not being moved to a different hosting company. Of course other words like “Ep!” And “I’d better check and see what is wrong” were also uttered.
So I imagine that it was a server problem and it will be fixed in a few days.
Okay, I have missed this two times. On the green spider bike, where in the heck did they put the gas tank on this thing?!?
I was on their web site the other day….. a occ frangrance called Full Throttle? What the heck is that like? The smell of grease, sweat and chrome polish? 😉 I think I will not be buying any for theSpouse any time soon. 😀
The worst remake I have ever seen was the Three Musketeers movie with Charlie Sheen and Keifer Sutherland. As a teen, I remember going to the movies and then later watching on TV and VHS the series of Musketeer movies filmed with Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, Michael York and of course Charlton Heston as Richelieu. They were excellently filmed, located, cast, costumed and written. I still laugh thinking about Richeieu at the very end, doing that little “One must be careful what one writes, and of course who one gives it to” speech. His little mental note to himself and then the weary little wave off of Michael York still cracks me up. 😀 😀
I was shocked when theBrother reported that the ’93 remake SHOULD have been Called D’Artagnan’s Excellent Adventure, but after seeing it I did have to agree.
While I admit, I have seen many “Excellent Adventure” movies in my life, I still maintain that this one was the worse. Not only did not build upon what came before it, but also managed take an adventure story that has definitely stood the test of time and make it boring and trite and not the least bit funny.
Hummm, how strange. I don’t immagine he will get many bids Micro. This is not really Lexx Show stuff, so it is possible Figgy may be down to the bottom of his Lexx Bag-o-Goodies. Did you get rid of all of yours on ebay?
Thank you for the reminder Gela. 🙂
As Saddy has pointed out many times if you do not have mIRC and you want to chat all you have to do is click on the SadCHAT button on the top of this page. There is a drop down menu that will open up a chat portal all allow you to not only go to the #lexxchat room for this chat, but also can be used to get to the original #lexx room and our own #sadgeezer room. You BSG peeps may want to remember that if you ever decide to do a chat during the episode.
You can also just click on this link to get to the chat room

use the drop down menu once it asks you for a nick to choose the room you want.
ummm, Tony….. the desire for a new kitchen is a sign that someone is having to cook too much. Apparently YOU are not taking people out to dinner enough nights a week. 😛 😛 😉
*So sayeth a woman with a 1960 kitchen who could care less since she never uses it*
Really? How exactly? The original while interesting was kinda cheesy and campy so you would think they could get away with a lot.
Who ever reserves the table has to be there to get it. Also you should have a roster in place of people who have committed to man the table. Groups that make a poor showing most likely will not be alowed a second chance. There is a lot of competion for the tables (which are free) and they want them to go to groups who make a good display, excite a lot of interest and follow the rules.
It can be both fun and tiring at the same time. 😀
Should you guys decide you want to do a ‘geezer table, you need to get some stuff taken care of now.
1st the table HAS to be manned from friday at noon to sunday evening…. they will say monday, but very few are mannned on monday. This means you need a roster of people who have pledged to man the table. Otherwise the con gods will smite thee down. They will have to be on site by 10 am each day. Room usually dies about 6. So that is a solid 8 hours a day that has to be covered. You need a roster
2nd You need display to attaract people. The con gods to watch to see if people come to the table. If the set up is skimmpy or avoided they may shut you down as there is a major waiting list for tables.
3rd all of the above need to be decide pretty too-sweet because you will have to request a table before they are all gone, or get on the waiting list.
I loved having one, but I will say it was a lot of making sure there were people there to man the table. Not always easy in a con this distracting. Many thanks to Mandara, Mike_L, Jhevz, Wade, Sara, Krodelka, Aleck, Beth, Corvus, Todd, the Corvus clan and many others for the assistance they gave last year.
This is very nice. [url]http://www.lexxmuseum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10012/normal_ed.jpg[/url]
Of course I like the Stan one too. Good pose of Cap’tn Stan.

Winning bid: US $5,625.00 It was the phone call offer that did it. 😆
Kinda makes you wonder what the Kai costume would go for doesn’t it.
Ah, did you see the change they put in recently? Ms. Seeberg is going to place a call to the winning bidder to thank them personally.
It is at 3200.00 with 1 hour to go.
Well it made $3000.00. HDS and I were thinking it will top out at $3500.00, But we could be wrong since there are not to many of these, and this may be the last one up for sale.
I will request that Headge update it for you Mira.
For those new to Lexx conventions, this is an Annual Swedish event that takes place in/near Gothenburg, Sweden. This year it will occur on August 5-7th, 2005.
They have rented a large cabin to have the get together in [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/ratatosk/majorna4.jpg[/url] and judging by past picture they normally have a few pub crawls and other fun local outings. 😉
I am not sure if Striped longsocks are manatory, but I have noticed them appearing promently in the convention pictures over the last few years. 😆
Tsk, tsk, tsk. Such fighting and posturing. Is this how things run in the Star Trek universe. 😉 WWCKS?
I know what I would do, but then I am
