Why? The only part of it that's good is the pilot/tv movie I worship His Shadow, which is amazing I admit but everything else is campy softcore porn.

On the other hand I'm a firm believer that if anyone is to remake anything, that it should be something which while flawed has good ideas that could be better built upon which does describe Lexx.

Only if its with MILF Xev

>2009 was 8 years ago

Well a new show in tone with the later seasons would be better, no one would go for a remake of the start of the show

Nobody watched Poor Man's Canadian Farscape.

>He's a farscape fan

Mantrid was a great bad guy

The show was clearly ahead of its time. Everything was just so weird and out there

>he's not a farscape fan

they could never make a show like Lexx today unless it was on the Playboy Channel or something, the current year crowd would lose their shit over a show like that

smooth right round the bend

Yeah I like both but Lexx hits all the right notes, farscape not so much

Never, is great as is.

Only a blue ray proper remaster is acceptable

that's unlikely so my DVD set will have to do.

eh, Lexx is certainly stranger and less derivative but Farscape is so much more sophisticated in terms of its writing and acting. Also the characters never really grew on me with the exception of Zev/Xev, and there's a big drop in quality after season 2.

Lexx is an interesting and original show but nowhere near the level of Farscape

Still one of the best villains in sci-fi.

Oh absolutely, what a badass

Never, hopefully. >The only part of it that's good is the pilot/tv movie I worship His Shadow, which is amazing I admit but everything else is campy softcore porn.

Personally, I think the irrelevant, inane episodes in Lexx were part of it's charm. The episodes that advanced the plot or focused on fleshing out specific characters are great. Like, say 'Stan's Trial', or 'Brigadoom'. But I get a kick out of the dumbshit fillers like 'Twilight' and 'Tunnels'.

This is a show I thought I had as a fever dream, as a kid.

What was this about, again?

He was way too old to be the lead.

it's about defying sci-fi TV conventions by having an ugly coward main character who bumbles his way through space and various adventures, accompanied by a space slut, stoic death knight and extremely annoying robot head.

what did they mean by this?

Isn't Craige Charles in this at one point?

The known universe is under the control of the League of 20,000 planets ruled by their God Emperor known as "His Divine Shadow" which is a dark spirit from an ancient insect species that inhabits human hosts until they get too old and it takes over a new host body.

There is a prophect that a member of a race called the Brunengee will end his reign so he destroys their entire planet saving the last surviving member into a zombie assassin as an example of his mastery over fate.

Many centuries later His Divine Shadow is completing an ultimate weapon known as The Lexx which he obtained the plans for from a captured rebel named Stanley Tweedle who he kept working on the capitol planet in a low level job in case he was needed further. The rebels re-capture the Lexx and give the biokey to Stanley Tweedle at the last second because all the other rebels perished in the attempt.

So Stanley, this love slave he met along the way and a robot head that accidentally got her love slave mind programming leave in the Lexx which is a giant planet destorying organic spapaceship. His Divine Shadow send the Brunengee zombie assassin after them but he regains his memories and kills the current Shadow and the preserved brains of his "Divine Predecessors" escaping into a parallel dimension which is where the series starts off with them exploring this dimension.

yes, one episode in the last season

also Tim Curry guest stars in season 1

Also Malcom McDowell and Barry Bostwick etc.

This is exactly why, I thought I dreamt of this in a "fever dream". Cheers.

And Rutger Hauer. Season 1's episodes each had one big guest star.
