ok, let's drag Lexx back out of the closet
I was surprised this morning to accidentally run into this little article, mostly because I wasn't doing a search on anything Lexxy at all, but was even MORE surprised that NO ONE had commented and there were only 2 facebook likes. I went ahead and pinned it, commented, and liked, but dang, Lexx fans, where are you? We used to be so hard core, we used to fight tooth and nail to get this stuff out the fastest, and this is already 3 months old and it looks like not a soul cares. While I have constant surveillance on this blog from diehard fans and webmasters all over the world, this guy got nothing, so what say we help him out, make it WORTH HIS WHILE to actually write about your fave cult scifi show ever, show some actual internet support (yeah, I know, this coming from the person who tore down one of the biggest fansites on the North American continent), and give crap back to the critics *outside* of your message board comfort zones. Click to go, like the old days. And if you need to comment here, I promise I won't delete, say whatever you want, I'm just staying out of it.

:edit: 8/20/12 Someone just asked me about the Lexx video game, is there one, etc. I remember I used to have a link to this one.
:edit: 8/25/12 I honestly never expected this much traffic on a single post in only a week's time (817 views). I can only imagine what would happen if I were to rebuild my old Lexx stuff. Since sitemeter isn't catching this particular page-specific landing point, I'm the only one that can see my internal xanga tracker, so I just wanna give a shout out to Russia, Germany, Bulgaria, UK, Thailand, Malaysia, Ukraine, Indonesia, Philipines, Netherlands, Sweden, Egypt, Belarus, New Zealand, and what the heck, a couple of you in the U.S., and that's just in the last 24 hours. In the last 48 we can add France, Austria, Columbia, and Brazil. Earlier this week I saw Kuwait, Singapore, Lithuania, Hungary, Greece, Ontario, Puerto Rico, Vietnam, Switzerland, Italy, Bandladesh, Venezuala, Argentina, and Finland, all coming specifically to this Lexx titled post. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind that Lexx is dead, you couldn't prove it by this response. The U.S. NEVER airs it, but we still have our avid fans here, too. So big wave to all of you, thanx for stopping by, might get screen snips of all those hits for posterity. Love those fans!!!!
p.s. I'm wildly curious how some of you are getting into 'Events', since xanga dismantled that years ago and the only way I can get into it myself is through following your footprints, and once I'm there I can't edit or change a thing there. I don't think it's supposed to show up at all.
I'm way out of the loop now, but I guess it's still alive at Hal-Con 2012, and thanx to sites like http://hellexx.narod.ru/transcript_interview_with_MM.html and http://www.lexxdomain.com/links.php, I'll keep seeing some of you drop by. Keep Lexxing.
:edit: 9-6-12 > *wow* this stirred memories, dug out my Lexx cds yesterday, and it looks now like I'll be doing a marathon of all 4 seasons as time permits over the coming year. If you wanna follow along and/or put in your own two cents, click this little button to go to my Lexx navigation page.

My first tracker was installed in 2004 and broke several times before moving to a new server, which lost a few months of stats, and then Xanga moved to new servers and I lost more stats for more months before the page came back up, so I've lost a total of about two years' worth of stats. The second was installed 2-22-14 and is considered very conservative by business owners who use analytics, which itself is very conservative, estimates being that roughly one third to one half of hits by real live people aren't even counted, most likely due to javascript discrepancies. Actual hits on several posts here are in the thousands now, and the Lexx Index in the ten thousands. I've got pingbacks turned off, so spam isn't counted at all within the Xanga internal tracker, and most direct post hits can be correlated to my real time linking activity on twitter and other social media. When I did Google Analytics beta testing I got to see how search engine performance compares to tracking. I believe live feed linking sources to various social medias are key to a future where search engines are more about performance than cataloging, which has been confirmed to me by coders who create bot algorithms as I was beta testing paper.li. I've fought hard through redundant age-old stacks to make my way to the google front lines again, so my Lexx work shows up faster on Chrome searches now. This has been a really interesting ride. At any rate, my point is, I can still go back 6 years on my original tracker and I can still see that in 2013 just before the last big blog server move, I was getting traffic like this (and since then, the tracker may have been abandoned, we can't tell). Click the thumbnail to see full size.
My original tracker also still lets me see the latest 500 visitors on a map. I once counted over 80 countries among the total visits. You guys are not alone. Click the map to see it better.
Besides Lexx, the most common search phrases that bring new visitors here are variations on 'huge spaceship'. The most seen post from a phrase search is How Big is the Lexx? My biggest Lexx referrer is Lexx Domain. Most of page views per person count comes from the Lexx tag on Tumblr. Visitors who stay the longest come through URLOpener and are pinged through the Google translator server in Mountain View, CA.

Hmmm... I liked Lexx okay, especially the first season, but I loves me some Farscape! Both are a heck of a lot better than anything current! Did you care much for Babylon 5? That's my fave, with Star Trek TNG and Voyager running in a tie for second
Oh oh, you have one of those rec buttons that doesn't work! Come to my site and copy the rec link I put on some of my blogs. You can paste it in your entries and you can save it in your favorites and use it to rec any entry with a broken rec button. Make sure you tell people not to use it from the main page though, they have to click through to the entry so the page will know which entry they're recommending.
Anyways, just wanted to get a rec on here to help you on yer mission. Go Lexx!
@AOK4WAY - My first love was Sliders, and for that we got our first satellite dish. I've seen every Bab5, every Trek and Farscape, every Stargate, but Lexx was the first scifi purchase I ever made, and I got the full 4 seasons all at once. It was also the first scifi show I ever started collections on, the first real fansite I ever made (before that I was a moderator), first show I ever wrote fan mail to, the only reason I've ever gone to a convention. Also up to date on Dr. Who, religously into Nerdist. I had a crush on Billy Mumy when the original Lost in Space was on years ago. But yeah, Lexx...
@GrandFortuna - Always a pleasure to meet a fellow sci-fi lover!
Haha, Bill Mumy! I loved Lost In Space when I was a kid too, but I was more of a Robot fan! WARNING! DANGER! DO NOT DO IT WILL ROBINSON! The episode where Dr. Smith turned into a giant carrot was my fave lol.
@GrandFortuna - The first couple of newer Doctors were AWESOME.
The latest one is kind of a flowery, hippie limp-wrist, though. I don't care for that.
If you want to make a change of your tedious life, if you can't stand heavy sports shoes and if you hate to take exercise because of the uncomfortable shoes, I think you really need a pair of Asics Corrido Sneakers. Asics Onitsuka Tiger Shoes are famous for their high quality and comfort, Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 can solve all the problem for you.
@sara012210 - Thanx, I already own ASICS® Gel Kayano 18 Women's Running Shoes Neon Pink/Turquoise/ElectricPurple
@suicide_king23 - Ah, but Amy Pond is awesome. =) I don't have a fave Dr. Who, but, and I think some fans will agree with me, I really hope Colin Morgan (Jethro Cane, Dr. Who's "Midnight") gets to be one of the Dr. Who incarnations some day. There was some flap about Eddie Izzard getting it a few years ago, and as much as I love him, I couldn't see it.
@AOK4WAY - We used to play Lost in Space and Star Trek as kids. I was always Mr. Smith or Mr. Spock. My brother was Robot. The coolest things at conventions are the robots and droids they bring in. I got this pic at MegaCon one year. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/JanikaBanks/mgc/road019.jpg
Wow, haven't even heard of this, and I love some SciFi television!
http://endrath.xanga.com/762445539/my-18-favorite-science-fiction-shows/
=P
That article is about DallasTV, I'm out in Lubbock, any chance you'd know of what channel might show it?
@GrandFortuna - I haven't seen anything with Colin Morgan in it. I wouldn't know if he'd be any good. Eddie? Witty enough. Not "Alpha Wolf" enough.
@Endrath - Watch Lexx online free on Tv-links, I'm afraid you won't find it on U.S. television unless someone wonderful comes along and pulls it off a shelf. From your list of 18 faves, I'd have to add to mine Primeval for sure, loved Andromeda, made it through Eureka somehow (helps that Wil Wheaton joined the cast). I think Friday Prime on Scifi before it became Syfy was the golden age for scifi.
@suicide_king23 - Colin Morgan - IMDb I have a feeling this guy is going to explode onto the world and become one of the classics over the decades.
Where you been hiding yourself,..kiddoo? I looked and looked for you and for the chickens!! Wgoooopeeeee!! You are back!!@
@Stanelle - I fell down and went boom.
I'm back, but now it's the real me. I'm not above making another post once in awhile though just to yap Lexx on.
