<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'm not in any way suggesting that Lexx is superior to FS (I realy liked FS) but I seem to remember watching lexx and thinking that while it definitely had its downside (ie impossible to follow the plot without taking LSD first) it also had a few good things. Some of the alien designs were cool, and it was pretty... umm.. imaginative in general. Again, this was aired in the UK in the Great Memory Lapse of 1995-1999, when I was "studying".

Actually, I started watching Lexx sometime near the end of the first or beginning of the 2nd season (?) out of curiosity. I agree with you - it was pretty bad, but there were enough interesting things in the show that kept me watching. Once, I saw the original 4 movies the series was based on, and was actually stunned at how GOOD the first one was. (The other were really bad, as usual). But once they started that new season with Fire & Water and that Prince guy, I couldn't take it anymore.

hmm, me thinks you are suffering long term effects from that student homebrew of yours, unless it is because you really are a lager wendy.

What do you define as a "spaceship"? I consider the space shuttle to be a 'spaceship' and I haven't seen any horns or dragonheads on that, galileo and voyager were spaceships and were noted for lack of norse paraphanalia..

I didnt see many Farscapes but I did like that D'argo character (how many todgers does he have growing out of his head?) and as for that Aeryn bird, WOOF WOOF WOOOF WOOOF, brunettes in PVC catsuits with laser guns do it for me everytime (especially when she was in that monster movie pitch black)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not disagreeing with you, but I think I'd go for the short blue one (not the mystic, dead blue one) every time.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">V. cool film. Agreed.

Is this going to descend into a fanboy-favourites thread where we all drool over the obligatory T&A cynically crowbarred into Sci fi? I hope so http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Well, we therefore have the perfect double date, you get the freaky blue bird who looks like the lenor has stained, I get the roughty toughty brunette with biceps and thigh muscles that could crack coconuts - YIPEEE!!!!

I hope so to, my top 3 would be 7of9 (where does she get those zero gravity hooters and frankly, out of 10, I'd give her one), Wilma Deering from the original Buck Rogers (schoolboy fantasy or what) and I quite like the Andromeda avatar from Andromeda (exotic, erotic and looks like she would do a mean nasi goreng)

I'm interested in Firefly. Will it make it? Probably not.

Re: Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)
 

Can you north americans give FireFly a bit of support cos' if it gets cancelled, us europeans wont get to see it.

A quick aside, was Farscape anything to do with Australia as a lot of the actors seemed to have antipodean accents?
