Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.

MODERATORS
This reply was eerily fast.
They've been making them for a week or so at least. I mentioned I hadn't seen any Lexx memes, and they started churning them out about a week ago.
I specifically said that I wasn't complaining, but they seem to have found a new hobby.
Or perhaps I just reminded them of that long forgotten folder
That's how MrPoopyButthole do
Lol a classic. Time for a rewatch.
Is that the USS Riker?
No. The cockpit is at the wrong end.
The whole ship is the cockpit
Full of gladiators
Xev would bone Kirk. Spock would try to mind meld with Kai but it wouldn’t work, then they’d become besties.
Johnson!
Sir, yes sir! Would you look at that, it looks like a giant...
Wang! What do you see on the satellite? Sir, it looks like an enormous….
And on that day, a lot of red shirts accidentally died because of something Stan did but didn't intend to.
In the early 2000s Channel 4 in the UK user to run sci-fi post 23:00 most nights; mostly Stargate SG1, a little Seven Days, Sliders IIRC, that sort of thing. I was 14 and enjoying staying up late, but god damn; when Lexx came on it was time to go to sleep. What a horrible mess of a show.
It's a sci-fi comedy. And it's very funny. I'm not sure where the mess is.
I love it, but it was pretty messy a lot of the time in various different ways. My impressions were:
Season 1: Brilliant, really good science fiction
Season 2: Fun episodic comedy sci fi
Season 3: Sometimes weird, sometimes gruesomely tedious
Season 4: Trying to be more like a normal comedy TV show, results mixed
I'd say that's a fair assessment.
Remember s2e18 - Brigadoom?
The whole universe is getting destroyed, everything is disappearing, and they have time for a musical number!
In my opinion, honestly one of the best episodes of anything ever made. And you can even watch it on youtube right now, because apparently, someone uploaded the whole episode.

The entire series apparently
I’m not sure where the comedy is.
Horses for courses but I gave it a real good go, and other than “robot head be horny” I failed to see anything funny about it.
Maybe because it's a German show? It's not true that Germans don't have a sense of humor, it's just that it's a little different. If you can get into it, it's a lot of fun.
It is a Canadian show with a few German actors. It's from Newfoundland if I am not mistaken.
…I’m half-German
Ok, fair enough. I just thought maybe that was why.
It’s a fair point, German humour (or even just what lands in German - Dinner for One anyone?) can be a bit more dry and slightly odd.
See, for me Lexx’s end credits always left a sort of melancholy feeling, because it meant the day was over, and there was nothing left to watch, so I might as well have gone to bed.
Absolute fever dream of a show.
Haha I absolutely loved Lexx because it was so weird. I cried so hard when it ended, but I was a strange perverted teenage girl so 🤷♀️
That's what it's from I thought it was the Event Horizon
Pray that if you cross paths with an angry god(dess), you could use it as an offering
