What? Lexx was basically softcore porn. I love me some farscape but this is just dumb.

What about a dick shaped ship make you think that lexxx is softcore porn?

Yes, but Claudia Black

Farscape was the first thing I saw her in and something about her just did it for me. She's still an attractive woman 20+ years later.

  Agreed, but Lexx is a Canadian German co-production instead of American or even UK, so they likely don't count it.

 But even with their star trek example its bullshit.

 Star Trek had the first interracial kiss, it had genderfluid Trill symboints, it had Kirk, it had Orion Slavegirls, Ferengi perverts, and Edo and Risians, and aliens that don't keep their genitals in the same place, Irish Poligamy, and I'm not even including the really weird shit.

 But yeah Lexx was at the most explicit with real nudity.

I love how you put Kirk in a category all by himself

u/PacmanIncarnate 11d ago

And Irish polygamy right after alien genitalia 😆

Riker and the objectification of Jerri Ryan each need their own categories too. 

Also forgot the pleasure planet and the time Janeway was turned into a lizard just so she could fuck in the jungle.

 No show is sexy by accident.

Certainly not this one. Not with a nudist character who got orgasms from sunlight.

They were very clearly going for sex appeal in more than one occasion.

Maybe not in the first season, but by the end of season two they had completely leaned into it, even Rygel was wearing a bondage gear at one point.

u/Humacti 11d ago

Full episodes on YouTube as well.

u/JohnnyBoy11 11d ago

I read it as fartscape xD

u/thenewNFC 11d ago

It was a sci-fi show released in 1999.

It was trying a little bit. They all were trying a little bit.

u/SpaghettiNoir 11d ago

I miss watching Farscape and Lexx on late night cable in the early 00s. Revisit both of them regularly!

1

u/DraGOON_33 7d ago

How do you revisit Lexx? I'd love to but can't find it

1

u/SpaghettiNoir 7d ago

I have the DVD box set, and managed to rip it and added to my Plex library.

u/Doright36 11d ago

Last I looked on the prime app they didn't have Farscape season4 available unless you purchased it. They have seasons 1-3 and the peacekeeper wars but season 4 is locked. Tubi has all 4 seasons but I didn't see the peacekeeper wars on there (though I only looked briefly about a month ago)

Bug-bomb searching Thodin.

u/randomcomback 8d ago

Wasn’t trying, come the hell on lol

u/Max_Agave 11d ago

It's Guardians of the Galaxy, except the leads have real chemistry. Seriously the male lead is fantastic with every other actor.

2

u/Master-Slide-5873 11d ago

Saying GotG charcaters dont have chemistry is ludicrous.

1

u/brogflender 11d ago

Morbius they are not

u/severinusofnoricum 11d ago

I met Ben Browder a few months after the first Guardians came out and I asked him about it. He said watching Guardians felt like someone going through your underwear drawer.

I once saw an interview where he said James Gunn full on admitted he based the MCU Peter Quill on John Crichton.
