mind the walrus posted:Yeah Lexx was like fool's gold for masturbation when I was in my teens. It looks and sounds just like wank material, yet is profoundly unsexy. the worst is when the love slave starts being a little sexy and the robot head starts perving on her nastily, making you feel just as puerile as that stupid thing is. FordPRefectLL posted:My ex swore farscape was really good and I actually made it through a season and then I got to an episode where the entire planet is lawyers and stopped watching it is good. its got some weird to borderline bad episodes. the absolute worst of which was literally a rocks fall everyone dies last episode, which has since been remedied. but still, the high points are quite high unlike lexx.

When I was 16 I worked part time in a computer repair shop owned by a guy named Dick who looked like Hulk Hogan and also cut people's hair and his whole life was basically telling people about how good Tripping the Rift was at that point

You lose out on the eye candy and sometimes have to suffer through interminable prose to describe the action and setting, but the trade-off is that you get really imaginative and interesting ideas with depth you'll never see in visual media no matter how much money and time the production has.

lmao this is so much funnier than porn because you know this actress was actually really excited when she got this job and told her parents she was going to be on tv. But then she gets to the first day of work and they tell her a giant squirting penis is going to brush gently against her face numerous times in a nude shower scene.

The original films guest star Tim Curry, Rutger Hauer and Malcolm McDowell in that order. It's basically the pantheon of limited field nerd demigods right there.

But then she gets to the first day of work and they tell her a giant squirting penis is going to brush gently against her face numerous times in a nude shower scene. IIRC the character's entire concept is an attempt by the show to have its cake and eat it by making her some failed sex slave clone or some bullshit but she's accidentally infused with genius stuff or magical alien goo or whatever the gently caress and rebels against her expected status in life and now effectively leads the cast of misfits including two horndogs who are always trying to get in her pants in a basic sitcom way and an autistic dead guy she fawns over like a cat because he doesn't give a gently caress about her sexually; now watch her go under the penis shower or "ironically" seduce this dumb male to further the plot  . As I said though it rarely comes across as sexy even though the actress is very objectively attractive. I do think the show showed her loving dudes and ladies because she genuinely wanted to at least once or twice and didn't pass judgment on her for having an active healthy sex life which is sadly genuinely progressive for pop media, although in sci-fi being a sexually open female is usually the creator's way of being nominally progressive while he inserts the woman into his attempts at erotic fiction so who knows.

I heard it's actually pretty good as a Star Trek ripoff (concept by Gene Roddenberry himself) for the first season or two where the premise is basically "the last Starship in the Federation is on the run", but Kevin Sorbo apparently didn't get what he was acting in so he insisted they dumb it down for mass appeal and ended up killing the show.

i hated it at first but warmed up to it. it's good. start with the first four movies (tales from a parallel universe) then season 2 and 3. skip 4 completely, it was absolutely horrible, i have no idea what they were thinking with this.

They were confronted by the ATF which was part of the plans of the re-incarnating force of evil "Prince" (see above clip). Also the extremely focused monk episode was funny. he was so peaceful because he had been letting his cult sell his organs. And good old Vlad in Transylvania. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSYSp3cFj9Q

I begrudgingly agree with the OP. I wanted to like it. It was quirky and different, but after watching about 4 hours of it, it was still poo poo. farscape owns, but take a while to hit its stride, and I think there'd be enough room in the Farscape universe for a couple more direct-to-video movies.

if ur a manchild like me and into stupid sci fi and you dont mind giving a show a few eps to get its footing then Farscape does in fact own. You also have to accept the fact that some of the cast are muppets but once you do, you will see the light

a hole-y ghost posted:the dead dont care what u think about lexx op It's funny you should say this, one of the creators, Lex Gigerof, died a couple years ago, after sort of rising up again in popularity in my home town, due to his work with the local film co-op. Everyone would mention how great Lexx was, how this guy was one of the creators behind the awesome show Lexx, how we had a true celebrity among us, and I kept thinking "well, he seems like a super nice guy, but that show sucked". I felt bad for thinking that after he died, but what can you do? Well, not watch Lexx, for one. He did, however, create El Mundo del Lundo, which was some weird comedy about a guy who would overdub old, black and white films. Like MST3K,except full dialogue replacement. I remember it being genuinely funny, and always wanted to ask him about it but never got the chance. RIP Lex (but not LEXX). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Gigeroff

I saw Lexx a few years ago, most of it at least. I am at a complete loss as to what any of it was actually about. A pudgy unlikeable janitor character that was desperate for sex, a robot head that was desperate for sex, and a sex slave that was half worm alien. Also a toilet that literally ate poo poo. It's basically one big bizarre sex and fart joke set in space. Actually come to think of it, that makes Lexx kind of good, huh.

The body-less robothead obssessed with either the half-lizard love slave or the dead guy, the useless security guard that ends up being the pilot of the most destructive weapon in two universes, and the rotating cast of reincarnating idea-characters. Its a bad show if you want action-story. Its a great one for satire and human condition taunting.

Lexx is the only scifi TV series I have ever found watchable, at least for seasons 1-2 (and 3ish when I got desperate). I just wanted to see horny unlikable idiots steal the keys to the Death Star and fly around the universe having wacky adventures.

I liked Lexx only because it had Eva Habermann, who was just so adorable and sweet and genuine and yet OH GOD I WANT TO gently caress THIS GIRL, she really nailed the poo poo out of that. Then Xenia Seeberg came and ruined it with her blatant cabaret mode. Not that she wasn't talented or attractive in a heavily-modified sort of way but it just wasn't the same.  e: Eva Habermann in a wet T-shirt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we0ztNZ45dI Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Oct 26, 2014 |
