Best Scifi Series ever, canceled! (OT)

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.

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)

AWOOG AWOOGA AWOOGA

Those are real? I assumed they were just computer generated US propaganda, like the moon landings and Jimi Hendrix.

Not disagreeing with you, but I think I'd go for the short blue one (not the mystic, dead blue one) every time.

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
