Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

[dogscoff]

really? strange how the CHigs originated on Earth when they couldn't breathe oxygen or something.

Like I say, I was drunk. I think it was something to do with bacteria floating around on rocks in space... the bacteria that evolved into Chigs started on an Earth rock, and the human bacteria originated on Mars.
I think. Maybe. I dunno. It all sounds about right, but it would have been about '97 I saw this, and at the time reeling under the appalling hallucinatory influence of student homebrew lager. That's the Last time I watched any S:A&B though.

The carriers I thought looked very cool

I remember them looking like modern aircraft carriers in dumped space. I was surprised they bothered taking the propellors & rudders off. Still, no accounting for taste...

I suspect your homebrew was made out of head and shoulders shampoo and washing up liquid.

and I LIKED THE CARRIERS, they looked like chunky mean rectangular things with a rear bridge and stacks of cannon and rocket launchers... and this critcism from a man who thinks spaceships have horns and dragonheads...

lord knows when you will do a Captain Pugwash or Noggin the Nog race

So Farscape gets cancelled, but somehow Lexx continues to live. Life is unfair.

They do. Mine do anyway. I mean, I've never seen a real, live spaceship without horns and dragonheads...

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.
