    And on that day, a lot of red shirts accidentally died because of something Stan did but didn’t intend to.

    In the early 2000s Channel 4 in the UK user to run sci-fi post 23:00 most nights; mostly Stargate SG1, a little Seven Days, Sliders IIRC, that sort of thing. I was 14 and enjoying staying up late, but god damn; when Lexx came on it was time to go to sleep. What a horrible mess of a show.

        I love it, but it was pretty messy a lot of the time in various different ways. My impressions were:

        Season 1: Brilliant, really good science fiction
        Season 2: Fun episodic comedy sci fi
        Season 3: Sometimes weird, sometimes gruesomely tedious
        Season 4: Trying to be more like a normal comedy TV show, results mixed

        I’m not sure where the comedy is.

        Horses for courses but I gave it a real good go, and other than “robot head be horny” I failed to see anything funny about it.

          Maybe because it’s a German show? It’s not true that Germans don’t have a sense of humor, it’s just that it’s a little different. If you can get into it, it’s a lot of fun.

      See, for me Lexx’s end credits always left a sort of melancholy feeling, because it meant the day was over, and there was nothing left to watch, so I might as well have gone to bed.

      Absolute fever dream of a show.

        Haha I absolutely loved Lexx because it was so weird. I cried so hard when it ended, but I was a strange perverted teenage girl so 🤷‍♀️
