Knight was actually a less impressive character than either LaCroix or Janette.
The former, as a late night radio one man talk show, would have really appealed to the late night audience even more than Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. During those long, Canadian winters I can imagine him having a totally adoring fan base for his eclectic philosophical ramblings.
Janette, on the other hand, as a nightclub owner, had a great combination of hot, seductive, and menacing. She really liked being who she was. Between the two, the series was filled with ‘color’.
Agreed! LaCroix was my favorite character. I loved LaCroix saving Janette and then giving her Nicholas as a present. Just picked up LEXX and am hoping Nigel Bennett is good in that, too.
The show spent enough time with all the characters to give them good depth. Though they almost lost me when they killed off Schanke. Making Janette become human when Nicholas spent his existence trying to become that way was brilliant.
