Lexx:


I think that Lexx is my equivalent to OANST's Dark Shadows. Not an exact comparison, but anyone who knows just how damn much OANST likes that show (and why) could probably see the similarity. It was awesome, just this incredible space saga without a whole lot of organization. You may notice that it implies that the pretty lady in the opening was present throughout most of the series, which is bullshit. she was replaced by someone ten times hotter about six episodes in (whose tits are just right there when she's introduced--BAM!). Lexx itself is one of the most frighteningly endearing things I've ever encountered in fiction. He's just a big friendly alien jet dragonfly space penis. They always leapt around with how exactly it fed, too. In the opening there it implies that it eats people (and it did, a lot, a fucking whole ton of people). Then they say that it could just eat dirt from planets and thn sometimes it fed off of just outright blowing shit up.
Are you kidding me? I fucking love Lexx. I started watching it when it was four Showtime movies called Tales From A Parallel Universe. I was so sad when it ended. And surprised. They didn't even announce that it was a season finale, much less a series finale, and then all of a sudden most of the characters died, and I'm like what the fuck and then I felt so alone and then I cried and then I couldn't watch Lexx anymore.

Oh god, Showcase (which, using the power of my mighty brain, I have concluded is the Canadian equivalent to showtime) used to show like two episodes a night during the time of night when I usually washed the dishes. Sometimes washing the dishes took a long-ass time, so Lexx got me through many a soapy chore. It was seriously the defining show for me for awhile.

And whenever I forget about it for awhile, I can remember just about every character except for the Love-Slave Robot. I have no idea why.

Anyhoo, this is without a doubt my absolute favorite intro to anything ever. I fucking love Tim and Eric.

My favorite episode was when they landed on the planet that housed the remains of the past Divine Shadows. Something about the planet would return them to life, which fucked with Kai since he was technically dead, and made him recite Shakesperian dialogue with the voice of a retard.

Supposedly he was in the Brunnen-G equivalent state of being stoned.

I really need to order a box set of Lexx or something.

Doesn't even sound that great. However I impulsively smile upon hearing it.

I don't have the last season, but I have the rest on dvd.

When I was a Kid THIS was epic...

yep. that's one of my favorite openings.

...and one of my personal favorites. I'm really surprised this hasn't been posted yet :/

MeechMunchie 01-13-2011 08:07 AM
The Futurama one was really good. Short, to the point, good music, and introduces you to the world in 30 seconds.

I love this on so many levels. I'm a cool cat at heart.

keeperxiii 01-13-2011 08:24 AM
I forgot that one! I love the Futurama intro. Catchy song.

Pingu!! I loved Pingu ... But he was sort of scary too.

Elmatto753 01-13-2011 08:54 AM
He had an extendable mouth. What could possibly be scarier?

For some reason I got it in my head that Jordan had a collection of Lexx episodes in a box set. Now, Jordan hates Lexx. He just despises it. So yesterday, right in the middle of a very important iCarly episode (protip: Sam beats up a large black woman) I asked if he had it/could I borrow it. He kind of...violently...reacted...

Well, like, it's not so much that he said 'no' as much as his body just put together a crowd of noises that amounted to such in a furious little spasm. I think I might have saw it at a store downtown.

OANST 01-14-2011 10:32 AM
I hate people who hate Lexx. They don't know from fun.

Thats awesome.

scrabface 01-18-2011 06:13 PM
this show was so good. at the very end of this clip, there is a similar oddworld soundm you know what I mean?

I think the farscape intro is pretty cool

I remember that intro now. I like it :D

Dynamithix 01-20-2011 03:00 AM
Ha! I remember Aeon Flux. I always tried to watch it when it was on TV, but my mom and dad said it's too "mature" for me. I was 6.

Wings of Fire 01-20-2011 06:46 AM


I don't what this is but it's awesome and I want to watch it.

scrabface 02-25-2011 01:39 PM

so post it. my imagination is broken by watching too much tv.

I like the first season of Sliders the most. the second one is ok, but the rest is total trash. and only the opening of the first season is pretty cool.

Fringe is for people who thought the X-files was too scary.

Fuck fringe.

Dynamithix 03-19-2011 02:15 PM
I thought Fringe was really boring. I tried watching it because my dad likes it, but I just thought it was boring. Really boring. Boring.

Chlargia 03-19-2011 03:02 PM
no, infact,, its the X file but 1,000,000 times better. and if you think the x files is too scary, youve clearly never watched fringe, i mean, come on! the first 3 minutes of the whole series had a plane full of people melting!

Wings of Fire 03-19-2011 03:07 PM
I'm convinced.

It was the way you said 'no, infact' that did it.
