Bonnie Hammer Proves Her Stupidity...

(BTW, I'm not judging LEXX...yet)
SCI FI Adds LEXX To Its Lineup
The SCI FI Channel has picked up the rights to the offbeat SF series LEXX
and plans to add the show to its prime-time lineup in January 2000. LEXX is
based on the unusual German movie series of the same name, which aired in
the United States with the title Tales from a Parallel Universe.
Both the movies and the hour-long TV show follow the adventures of four
futuristic misfits who steal the most powerful weapon ever created, a giant
insect named Lexx who doubles as a space ship. The TV series stars Brian
Downey as Stanley Tweedle, the bumbling, self-serving captain of Lexx; Xenia
Seeberg as Xev, a former love slave; Michael McManus as the 2,000-year-old
assassin Kai (who also happens to be dead); and Jeffrey Hirschfield as the
lovestruck robot head 790.
SCI FI has acquired the rights to the first 20 episode of the series with
the option to pick up additional seasons. "LEXX is a unique and
unconventional series that adds to our roster of original, cutting-edge
fare," said Bonnie Hammer, the senior vice president for SCI FI Channel
Programming and USA Original Productions.
LEXX is a co-production of Salter Street Films and Germany's TiMe Film und
TV Produktion. It's produced in association with CHUM Television and is
executive produced by Paul Donovan from Salter and Wolfram Tichy of TiMe.

It sounds an awful lot like Farscape, only as envisioned by
the network bastards that killed Crusade. So that makes,
what three series they've picked up for next year? And
STILL not Crusade?
Somebody has to pay for this.

Well, what they are picking up sounds a lot like "Tales from an
Alternate Universe" which aired on HBO or Showtime or something recently.
All the characters match up. "Tales" was interesting, but I don't know if
it'll be the same as what I saw.
Of course, it's still not Crusade.

It is Tales from an Alternate Universe, as the original
post mentioned. Not that it makes much diff, it's not
Crusade and has no discernable premise. What's the point of
this show?
Just came to a conclusion that the series Sci-Fi has picked
up were all a _lot_ cheaper than Crusade. How long have
Brimstone and Prey been off the air, since mid-to-late '98?
So, there's still hope for Crusade to be picked up sometime
in 2000, early 2001 even when there's more money for them to
throw around. Remember, there was a time gap between B5:
The Gathering airing and B5 the series.
There's always hope, mostly because no one's figured out
yet how to kill it.

So, obviously Bonnie - like the rest of us - hasn't bothered to watch
"Farscape"

Well, yes. It's exactly like Red Dwarf, down to the Time Prophet and His Divine
Shadow, the evil ruler of the Federation of 20,000 worlds. The spaceship which
needs to eat eat eat every now and then.
Oh, and Kai, the dead assassin, kept alive with 'proto-blood'. Dresses in
black, has a scropian-pincer launcher thing attached to his wrist that he uses
to slice and decapitiate.
Just like Red Dwarf.

It's the same series, with a few different characters. But there is still a lot
of weird sh*t going on. Oh, and the evil His Divine Shadow, the major baddie,
is still out and about, his essence still intent on the subjucation of
humankind. And Captain Stanley Tweedle is still the Anti-Kirk, but he gets
close to getting to make whoopee in the past two seasons.
And Zev has been replaced with Xev, some genetic accident.

Whoa! I'm just blowing off some steam here. Yes, I *am* frustrated at the
seemingly constant parade of new acquisitions SFC has been making this
month, because of my own personal disappointment that they couldn't cut a
deal to bring Crusade on board. Give me that.
Beyond that, I like Farscape. A lot. I don't like Rygel in any way shape or
form, but I love the series. I can deal with him being in it because the
series itself is excellent, and a must see for me.
I do not like the premise of this newly described show. But yes, I will
watch it and give it every honest chance to change my mind. Just as I do
every show that hits SFC. I love the channel, and love many of their
series, but often will disagree with some of their choices and decisions,
and then I will feel perfectly comfortable gritting my teeth and temporarily
for the moment hating them.
Didn't think I needed to explain in such detail, but well, you seemed pretty
defensive there. If you weren't, accept my apologies.

And the robot has optional groin attachments, Stanley loves curry, Xenia
loves Stanley in an alternate dimension, and eventually they will stumble

Okay, here's what I think:
1) Yes, it sounds much like FarScape, although I get the impression from the
story LEXX has been around longer; brings back bad memories of the DS9/B5
comparisons
2) ["LEXX is a unique and unconventional series that adds to our roster of

(And while I may be -- and in fact, probably am -- the only person who watches
AND likes FarScape, I'd like to go on record as saying that, yes, I do still
watch AND like FarScape.)

[Chuckling quietly to himself]
Oh, man. I was in the Air Force, stationed in Germany when that film came out.
I had Top Secret security clearance (yes, folks, at one time I was in fact
part of your taxpayer-funded Military Intelligence), and I worked at a site
where we did Secret Things. And I can tell you, we all had a good laugh when
that film came out, because of course we all knew what DefCon4 /really/ meant
(and, yes, DefCon4 really does mean something) and we knew that it would have
very little if any to do with what the story would be about. I remember one of
the film's most intensely dramatic scenes -- well, it was supposed to be -- was
when the orbiter's crew lost the signals from Command, and all the monitors
went to static and snow, the Scott-hamilton-looking Main Character slammed his
fists on the console, turned to his shipmates and, his face in a rictus of
intense disbelief, shouted, "They're all going bone-white!"
Which, as a former military man, I can tell you is not good. Nope, it's bad
enough when your Communications Officer says something simple like, "We've lost
the signal!"; but if he says they're going bone-white, you're in some deep
dooky.

I wasn't thinking about the fact that he was, in essence, commenting on Bonnie
Hammer; I simply went headlong into noticing that the words he stated were
dfferent from what I thought they were. So, I thereby completely missed what
should have been an amusing little gem. So, um, I guess that's what I mean by
literal.

Is that what we're supposed to be doing?
Oh hey, all this reminds me. Remember when you posted the photo of the
guy who did a cheese sculpture out of a hotel room? I think that was
you... where he flung melted cheese on everything and make a gooey,
sticky, messy, smelly work of art? I recently saw a little segment on
some HGTV program about this very thing. They showed him melting and
slopping cheese, interviewed the hotel owner, then interviewed people
who strolled through it for the exhibition. Interspersed were lots and
lots of shots of the completed um... thing. It looked like he was really
enjoying himself. too.
Most common comment from the crowd: "P.U."
Julia - behold the power of cheese.

I remember that! Big, smelly, oozing stinking bedroom. Heck, if I wanted
that kind of lifestyle, I would have stayed with my old boyfriend.
(ba-da-BUMP).
So, ever wonder about the poor cleaning people that had to restore that room
once the exhibition was over? I'll bet even a simple box of Kraft Dinner
gives them the shakes now.
Cheese rhymes with sneeze, and apparently sometimes with good reason.

criticizes Lori is a Bolshevik. Also, scientists have determined that low
taxes are bad for you so they will be tripled.
Oh, and black is white.

Thank you for informing the masses, Mr. Minister. And here's the latest
press release, you may want to update your speech. Laboratory tests have
now concluded that not paying Lori proper homage will result in increased
dental decay in 4 out of 5 dentists. Also, you may experience some
dizziness. So, for your own sake, homage away!

And I am director of Her Dread Majesty's Board of Tourism. Come visit sunny,

Homage! Bring Fromage! Bring your MasterCard! Because RATMM's Unofficial

really mauve.
As Head of Internal Sercurity, Always Remaining Eternally Aware (or, as
my minions like to call me, HISAREA), I must ask you to come with me.
This Black = Mauve idea is obviously a dangerous anti-Lori scheme that
you are using to attempt a coup. Lay your salmon on the ground and come
with me.
Go about your business, citizens.

Ah, HISAREA! So you're the one who is suppressing the fact that Black=Mauve.
No doubt it's part of your plot to usurp the throne of the Most Excellant Lori.
Well, you'll endanger Her Splendor no longer.

Hey! Not the salmon! Beat them with a wet mackrel, and send me the salmon.
Yum. It will go well with all that fromage homage.

And make that *American* money! At Casa De Caribou, we don't believe in
pretty colors on our currency! Sorry, Canada! But for those of you with
good old drab, American funds, here's what awaits you:
Watch the brilliant changing of the Autumn leaves, just seconds before they
fall en masse and bury your car, which you won't find till spring!
The Annual Running Of The Deer. Wear your hunter's orange unless you want
to go home with some festive bullet tattoos!
Play our official state games! "Name That Roadkill", and "What's That
Barnyard Smell?" are favorites with the kids.

Did we mention the very very very very small parking fee ($10.00 for the first
hour, $500 for each additional day, compounded monthly)?

You can also wear hot pink, but only if you can stand hearing a moose laugh
