I liked Firefly. Never saw it on TV but I have all the episodes on disc.

No "aliens" with latex glommed on their faces, no space monsters or exploding suns, but it was a western in the old tradition, people dealing with people problems, but in a ship named Serenity.

I never saw LEXX, though, is it worth the effort?

I became a Firefly fan after Serenity came out.

Great characters, great story; just a really fun time. I have to say that I was really dissappointed to find out that they aren't doing a Serentiy 2; or picking up another season of Firefly.

Sometimes I think that studio exec's have no idea how much money a good Sci-Fi fanchise can make. Star Trek, Aliens, Star Wars, Terminator and Stargate have made at least a few bucks over the years. Firefly's 1st season saw Fox change the day/time no fewer than 4 times. The Sci-Fi Channel picked the series up; and managed to not only change time/days no fewer than 3 times, they also managed to show the series out-of-order. It's like the studio execs wanted the show to fail. What is this? An alergic reaction to money, revenue and royalties?

Depends on what you like, LEXX is more risque, more semi-pornographic, and a lot more fun .

The concepts you mentioned for Serenity sound similar to LEXX, but not the same thing ofcourse . .

The show had some interesting ideas, but was a bit too bawdy for my taste... and I never saw them actually go anywhere with those ideas. So, I'd have to say "No, it isn't".

I couldn't stand Lexx or Babylon 5 when they originally ran but after they hit syndication I couldn't miss an episode of either. Lexx is definitely worth a look.

I've only seen a few episodes of Red Dwarf but I don't see many similarities to Lexx more than any other Sci Fi shows do.

Firefly was much too antigov and morally absolutist for the media. Even Fox could not tolerate the quality, the prose, the characterizations and the powerful religious message of this amazing series.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

I watched the movie "Serenity" first, then found out about the "Firefly" series. I now own both the movie and the series.

I've Never heard of Lexx either.
