I have only met one other Lexx fan in real life, and when I did, I literally screamed and jumped on him and hugged him until he begged me to stop. I was really excited. Lex fans are rare and hard to find, we refer to ourselves as Lexxians.
Like Buffy, I started watching Lexx in the 90s because of my family. They felt especially guilty about letting my brother and I watch it, because it is not exactly child appropriate, and also all new episodes aired at 11:00 pm on the scifi channel. After the show ended, I forgot about it until I was in high school. Out of nowhere my passion for it was renewed, and I bought the entire series on DVD (which cost me a fortune because some of the seasons are really rare.)
If you don't know anything about Lexx (which wouldn't surprise me), I'll do my best to give you a short description. The series is about an organic space ship called the Lexx, which happens to be the most powerful weapon of destruction in the two universes (the light universe, and the dark universe). The lex is shaped like a giant firefly, and it has many properties of an insect. The Lexx can destroy whole planets and solar systems at its captain's command, and by some freak happenstance (known as the first season) The captain of the Lexx is a chubby, balding, and extremely horny security guard. The captain of the Lexx is the one who holds the key, which can only be passed on at death or the peak of orgasm. The rest of the crew is made up by a dead assassin named Kai, who is the last of his race, a half-lizard love slave called Zev (Xev in season 2), and a broken robot head called 790. Since Zev is a love slave, she is extremely horny ALL THE TIME, but she is a virgin because every time she tries to consummate something goes horribly wrong. She is madly in love with Kai, but because he is dead, he has no emotion and can not get a boner anyways. Stan is probably the only person in the universe that she would not have sex with, she is disgusted by him, so frustration persists. 790 has a glitch and he falls madly in love with the first person he sees, which happens to be Zev. 790 is constantly writing hilarious dirty poetry about Zev, and always insulting the other members of the crew for threatening his love for her. Later in the series he is rebooted, and Kai is the first person he sees. From then on he swears he is a lady-robot, and that Kai is the love of his life. Together they are searching throughout the universe for a home, and frequently they are searching for sex. They end up at a space brothel in a couple of episodes. They almost always end up blowing up whatever planet they visit, whether on accident or on purpose.
If you like things that are campy, hilarious, and cheezy, then you just might love Lexx. I highly recommend it.
