Season 4, isn't that the one where what's his name is the president and there's the annoying bunny and all that good stuff?

It's the season where they go to Earth, and yes Prince and Bunny are there.

Cryostar

Yup....that's the season that I'm trying to force remove memories of....much like season 5 of Andromeda.

Camibra

Or season 2 of DA...erm, did I say that?

Cryostar

No you did not....I don't want to fly down there and smack you in the head.....

So far I've made it through the movies and season 2.

The movies have their charms, but they are mostly introduction and weirdness, and the sets were too bright and temporary-looking (particularly the Lexx interior).

I really fell in love with the show in the late 90s when Season 2 first aired, and I wondered if it would still hold up 10 years later. And I think it does - in fact, some of the eps that bugged me a bit at the time I like better today, when seen in the context of the whole season. And I still think Lexx S2 had one of the best season-long story arcs I've ever seen - just the right mix of stand-alone eps and a huge overall story that builds gradually to an intense conclusion. The show had a good mix of creepy and funny, and the characters first sketched out in the movies are better developed throughout this season.

My favourite ep of Season 2 is still Brigadoom, I was always mostly a Kai fan. I tend to like the eps that feature Kai or show some different side of him, like Wake the Dead or Twilight. And of course, Mantrid is a great Big Bad, so I also like the eps where he's involved ... Mantrid, Norb, Brizon and End of the Universe.

Season 2 was definitely my favourite season. For the exact same reasons as you have stated.

I started watching S3.

Some parts of it I remember well, because that's what they were filming when I visited the studio in Halifax - I spent a day there watching them film the volleyball-ish game, hanging out with Lex Gigeroff and Brian Downey (I remember having lunch with Fifi too, that creeped me out a bit). Michael McManus actually had a spring-loaded version of Kai's brace weapon, and I remember him accidentally shooting it at the cameraman in one shot.

The day we were at the studio happened to be a Friday when they did their weekly cast and crew wrap party, and we were all invited. At the party, I ran into Nigel Bennett (Prince), that was actually how I found out he was going to be in S3. So watching S3 is entertaining for me for more than just the episodes, it brings back a lot of off-camera memories too.

There were a few highlights to the season I'd completely forgotten about though, like Live Kai and Out-of-alignment Kai, or Lex as Doctor Rainbow.

Overall I like the season, but I find that some of the episodes drag, because the main focus of the season was the overall arc rather than the individual eps. The idea is neat though, and it has a lot of style. But the balance wasn't as good as S2.

You're just trying to make us jealous of where you live, aren't you?

I loved season 2, especially episodes like Brigadoom. Season 3 I was partial on some episodes, though, for the most part, I was not very enthused by it.

Actually, Lexx was filmed in Halifax (and in Germany and a few other places), which is on the opposite coast of Canada from where I live, and I flew out there for a visit at the time. I've actually never been to a TV/movie shoot in Vancouver, though I've passed by them often enough and often recognize people and places in shows made here.

Cryostar

Ok, well, I'm still jealous because you have the opportunity to drop in on BSG whenever you want. Besides, I need to get my passport renewed before I can visit Halifax.

Watching Lexx now (for the second time)! I never made it that far in S3 because 790 got his brains scrambled and fell in love with Kai, and thus being mean to Xev! I flipped! They screwed up my favorite robot! lol!

wickedrum

I don't know this show

ChakotaysLover

It's unique! LOL! I'll say that!! It's very unique! Hahahaha! Lexx is a show you either love or you loathe it! LOL!

Lexx is a giant bug ship.

Xev is a love slave and part cluster lizard

Kai is a dead assassin

Stanley is a security guard

790 is a robot head.

Through a series of events they wind up on the Lexx and Stanley winds up being the captain because he has a genetic key that allows him to pilot the ship, and the ship will only listen to him.

wickedrum

sounds a bit like Red Dwarf
