Anyone watch Lexx?

I finally have an answer for someone that wants something along the lines of Farscape or Doctor Who but with weirder stuff and worse, cheaper effects.

Someone turned me onto it accidentally a couple weeks ago with a clip of a guy watering a field of heads. The guy was the same actor who played Elaine's shrink/boyfriend on Seinfeld.
The first season is made of four 90 minute movies. I'm on the first one and it's weird and bad and yet still good enough to watch. There's something special about cheap 90s f/x where it's a mix of practical stuff and really bad early CGI. Probably made on Amiga, which I remember local nerds at the time always talking about how it punched way above its weight and some actual sci-fi TV shows were made using them.
Unfortunately the rips I got are below DVD quality. But not too bad. The f/x would just look worse in higher definition.
Anyway, I'm rambling because I'm pretty stoned, and maybe that's why I'm able to dig whatever it is that Lexx is.
So do you watch it? I know at least one of you does.

I enjoy the CGI in Lexx, it was a very distinct style of that era that modern computers can't replicate.

Sounds kino, I'm sold.

this show is great fun.
I love the unapologetic sleaze.
>>
>>216009842
I was gonna make a Farscape thread but I guess a different show about a biomechanical starship from the same era will have to do lol.

I love Lexx. It's kinda cheap looking, and quite stupid at times, and the writers rely on "LOL SEX!!" way too much, but it has its charm and I love the character designs, the interiors and the worldbuilding, especially in season one. Awesome blend of sci-fi, bio-tech, mysticism, weird shit in general, it makes me wish they continued making shows that aren't afraid to have something unique about them.
I love season one the most, it is the best Lexx has to offer, the introduction to its world, the Divine Shadow storyline, the best Zev, random good actor cameos.
Season 2 is also pretty good, the switch to "planet of the week" format is nice since it keeps things fresh and if it's bad you don't stay there for long. The new Xev actress is okay I guess.
I don't like season 3, they moved from random adventures to staying on two planets and the setting is dull compared to what we've had previously, Prince is a garbage villain and the whole thing honestly should have been 2-3 episodes AT BEST, not an entire season. What a waste.
Season 4 is pants on head retarded, they clearly ran out of ideas and budget (most of the season takes place on modern day Earth so that they don't have to build alien props and sets), they brought back Prince AGAIN and for the ENTIRE season too, the characters and story lines are exaggerated to comical proportions and frankly the only reason I finished watching the season is as a comedy and to see how ridiculous things get. There are a couple of episodes that feel like old Lexx, mostly toward the end of the season, but it's not enough to salvage it, not as a serious endeavor anyway.

I see a lot of people shit on this show here and I honestly don't get the hate. Overall I had a great time with it.

Season 1 is self-contained, they continued the story in S2 through a bit of an asspull, and others aren't really related.

I always thought the cheap VFX were partly an intentional choice. The show always took visual inspiration from old sci-fi, it was like they gave old SFX artists comtemporary tools to create the world.

It wasn't very cheap at the time. It was fairly comparable to other sci-fi shows at the time, like Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine. Out of sheer curiosity, what year were you born?

>>216010070
Fair warning to you and all who have been sold: most of the episodes are absolute dog shit. We're talking like 15 minutes of story stretched into 45 minutes. It can get so boring!
But there are some very good episodes spread throughout that I still think about to this day.
>>
>>216013774
so you haven't really watched the show and are posting bullshit, got it, that was exactly what I was pointing out
>>
>>216013859
Agreed. I'd say maybe most of the first season, just to get as much blue-Xev as possible.
After that, which ones are the highlights for you?
The two that most stand out are the Von Neumann machine episode, and the love hotel.
>>
>>216013859

Lexx is basically a good first season. Then it goes to shit so fast you may as well not bother watching it anymore. The second season onwards completely shifted the tone of the series and it went from being something with a plot to weird episode of the week style show with some of the worst, most cringe writing and acting I've ever seen.
>>
>>216013657
>looked like shit from day one
If you were alive back then, you'd know TV shows were judged by different standards than movies. Back then, an episode of a TV show didn't have movie-level budget (unlike today, which is clearly your only frame of reference).
So the effects of Lexx were considered great, and equal to the likes of B5 or DS9. However, B5 and DS9 had the budget for huge battle sequences so people might've perceived them as having better effects, but in reality they just had more effects.
>>
the only time I ever watched lexx was back in the 2000s. There was this website called tvlinks, and they had all the episodes up on it before the site got taken down in I think 2005 or 2006.

Anyone else remember tv links?

Lexx is kino, it's insane that something like it aired on a semi legitimate TV station. One thing I will always find funny after watching some behind-the-scenes interviews is that all the actors are basically playing themselves: Stanley is a working-class everyman, Zev is 'one of the guys', Kai is a pretentious artiste, and the writer who voices 790 is a coomer
>>
>>216013957
ok? who fucking cares you stupid child
>>
>>216013859
And also most episodes are incredibly stupid.
And also if you've watched the pilot and got the idea that you are stepping into some grim and dark space opera, leave immediately, you arrived to the circus where most jokes are centered around sex. If you watched it as a kid/teen that was very cool, if you are watching/rewatching as an adult this feels pretty stupid and at times annoying.

>>
>>216013941
You're halfway there.
Everyone knew the effects were bad and cheesy. But they were a hell of a lot BETTER than what sci fi tv shows were giving us before then. Go see the effects in original Star Trek, or worse the stuff that were toys on string with firecrackers.

It's just like FF7. Everyone knew the blocky models were horrible. But they were new and innovative in a way the better sprite art of 16bit games couldnt be (and the game had FMVs which blew any sprite art out of the water).

>After that, which ones are the highlights for you?
For season 2 it's:
1. Mantrid
5. Lafftrak
11. Nook (it's the monk planet one where xev finally has sex)
13. Twilight (I recall there being a hot goth babe in this one, plus some good world building, and Kai goes wacky)
14. Patches in the Sky (for the seasonal plot development)
18. Brigadoom (musical episode with more lore)
20. End of the Universe

That being said, all the episodes start off with a weird/interesting hook. Might be worth attempting to watch them all, and just skipping ahead when you find yourself looking at your phone.

I really wasnt. The CGI was nifty, but glaringly not real. Same shit used for the hydras in Hercules.
It made for more expansive storytelling, but it wasnt amazing, immersive graphics by any stretch.
>They weren't horrible and still aren't horrible.
In terms of the visual aesthetics of 16 bit sprite art, they were horrible.

For season 3, I can't pick out any specific episodes but there are moments that are good. Such as when they're all on that balloon traveling across the desert, and then when they go to K-Town.
The K-Town episode goes along pretty nicely, but then it gets bogged down with this scene where Kai gets disabled and they have to fix him by removing and inserting control rods into his groin. Nothing wrong in concept, but it just goes on for WAY TOO LONG.

Season 4, I don't remember much. I like that the ATF was the chosen government agency. Prince is great. Human Kai was annoying. I'd need to rewatch season 4 to pick out individual episodes but that's probably never gonna happen: I'd rather watch a slop isekai I've never seen before and those are not in short supply.

Yes, because as we all know, reviews are never biased or paid to shill for the products they review.

Again - 43 year old around when it came out.
The graphics were bad, but they were NEW.
It's like when Chatbot the website first came out.
Everyone was quite impressed with it, even though everyone ALSO knew it was shitty and not good at responding.

Lexx, MTV videos of hot slits, Charmed, what else? That dance show on MTV. Baywatch. Exercise programs. Scrambled porn that you could still hear the audio and sometimes the video unscrambled enough to see what was going on. Damn, early slow internet but vast cable options was a hell of a nexus point in masturbation tech. I still had catalogs stashed under my bed until the end of the 90s.

What zoomers don't understand is that in the 90s and 2000s, everything improved year after year: low budget shows improved, big budget movies improved, video games improved.
It's not like today where everything has converged into the same sludge, and any movie/show may have shitty/good VFX due to arbitrary factors. And there is no chance that some big block buster is going to come around to completely redefine VFX (no LoTR, no Independence Day, no Jurassic Park, no Avatar)

Zev was a disobedient sexless wife that was being transformed into a love slave for her husband.
There was some mistake and Zev got infused with cluster-lizard DNA or something like that and 790 got the love slave programming.

I know that no one cares, but recently I watched entire Lexx for the first time. My overall thoughts are pretty much matching everyone else's. It's not exactly a divisive TV series. It's sleazy sci-fi mixed with '90s Hamburg porn club aesthetic, filled with shitpost episodes and the acting ranges from so-bad-it's-bad to actually brilliant (when Prince arrives). Season 3 drags a bit, but has interesting concepts at least. If you can accept the bonkers logic.

But then S04E18 hits - "The Game". Unironically one of my favourite sci-fi episodes in TV's history. Kai and Prince are playing chess (the pieces are talking heads of other characters) on some Scandinavian beach. Holy fucking shit, you can't make this shit up. They're remaking the fucking Seventh Seal.
And it's... actually good. Really, unironically good. There are stakes, it's played straight. The chess pieces' dialogues are a mirror to the ongoing story and themes. And that cursed mechanical contraption is something that actually could work, maybe sponsored by some deranged Roman Emperor, deciding to make the gladiator shenanigans more cerebral (if the Romans had chess, that is).
It's as if a pile of garbage got recycled into something actually entertaining, semi-abstract and weirdly clever in a very deranged way.
They're using real chess rules, instead of just saying shit like "Ah, yes. A valiant strategy. The Pawn need to be sacrificed before the Queen can move." while actually playing checkers with enough midwit lines for normies to feel smarter. It feels more like a real chess match than the entire Queen's Gambit put together. In fact, it's based on an actual famous chess match from the 19th century. How the fuck can this even exist?
Oh, and all of this happening near the end of season 4, when there were probably about 100 people still watching the show. Half of them falling asleep during the news block, so they didn't manage to turn off the TV or switch the channel.

Not the endless physical sexual lust she says; just the mind part. Which is contradictory as she wants to loveslave fuck the emo Edward Scissorhands guy. Or just her body does. It's not really well thought out. But she clearly explains it while she's teasing him in the shower.

The Secret Planet of the Milk-fed Boys

WTF
This show is really branching out in episode 2. Into what I don't know. But there have been tits so they know people are still watching.
I loved my teen years the way they were, but I've always been spoiled with cable. For this show I wish I had been way out in some desolate area of Canada with 3 or 4 stations to choose from and I was watching this because it was the best thing on.
I have so many mountains of certified good shows to watch and yet I'm watching this and it's not very good. I wish I had nostalgia for it I guess. The people who would have watched this in America probably liked Sliders and Sci-Fi original movies. I wanted to like all that stuff but couldn't help but find it dorky and lame. I think it's because I envied the innocence of the kids who did watch it. "Good, clean fun." Drug-free D&D sesh after TNG. I was drawn to R-rated independent movies and sex and drugs and rock and roll on the weekends. I still try and watch this stuff because I equate it with the nerdy friends I turned my back on to dabble with bad kid stuff.

She was SUPPOSED to be a love slaver, but her transformation was interrupted by the most dangerous creatures in her universe - a cluster lizard.
So she got Cronenberg'd and became visually the sex slave but internally a lethal half-lizard thing - fiercely independent.
So no - she was never going to give Stanley a little piece.
Especially not when she had the hots for Kai.

I emailed one xena fansite owner maybe 15 years ago about it. From what I recall he liked to keep it as it is. Which made sense, because he was still updating the site. Can't find it anymore so he could be dead or just took it down who knows.
Anyway these sites don't seem to be even be updated in ages so it's weird. Doesn't really matter in the end.
