Lt. Kim

There was an episode of Lexx where a (homosexual?) cannibal had a similar fantasy where he was growing endless fields of sexy beefcake, where their heads (and maybe their bare bare naked shaved oiled chests?) were popping out of the soil and he was watering them with a watering can.

This takes playing with your food to entirely different levels.

(Only in Germany.)
 
Yeah, I'm mixing that up with Tuvok's pon farr.
Vorik's story with B'lanna was pretty good now that you jogged my memory. Paris's unhelpfulness aside.

Originally it was supposed to be Tuvok's Pon farr in Bloodfever, but Rus put his foot down and insisted the Tuvok would never under any circumstances cheat on his wife.
 
The Space Channel here (in Canada) showed Lexx. I watched a few minutes, got thoroughly disgusted, and tried very hard to avoid any sight or sound of it ever again.
 
It's a bit rough in places, but after the miniseries movies are finished, once the actual ongoing series starts, I'd say it's as good and sometimes better than Farscape. This is because they both developed their story and created a larger plot that tied the seasons together, that watching week to week mattered because "stuff" was always happening that followed through.

Lexx is really wonderfully bizarre.
 
You feel sorry for Stanley, thinking that he's not awful, and should be able to get his leg over at least once, but then you see that thing he does with his face before he kisses someone.
 
As creepy as that over puckered face he pulls might be, only even creepier people kiss with their eyes open.
 
Lexx has a great series finale too. I won't say anything for spoilers, but it's very satisfying and true to the mood and themes of the series.
 
Rollins was an Ensign when we first see him in 'Caretaker', but when he appears again in 'Dreadnought' he's a Leiutenant (presumably so he can outrank Tom). So compared to Harry "Operations Manager" Kim, Ensign Rollins was obviously an engine on the fast-track. Harry wasn't even a caboose.
....or we're just assuming Ensign Rollins & Lt. Rollins are one and the same person. Wasn't there a Admiral Chakotay in DS9?

On the subject of crew screw ups, I remember that Tuvok and Vorik say there were no Vulcan females on Voyager despite the fact that we see one. I read somewhere the writers tried to explain it away by saying the woman just looked Vulcan but was some other species. Possible, yes, but still sloppy storytelling. Anyone watching would naturally assume she was a Vulcan, which was obviously the intention of the time.
That's the make-up dept. not the script writers and the fact the show isn't filmed in order.
If I write a story about no Vulcan women on the ship and the make up dept. decides to put Vulcan ears on a stand in, that's not the writers fault. It's a miscommunication between dept., that stuff happens all the time in movies.
 
I don't necessarily mean to place all the blame on the writers, I think the sloppiness I referred to was a group effort. I don't mean to be too harsh, it is just one detail. But maybe that sort of detail should've been in the series bible, or at least whoever's in charge of these kind of things should've noticed. It's just a nit picky little mistake, but it is a little jarring and takes me out of the story a little when mistakes like that get made, but they happen, I get that.

Why will no one believe my Vulcan weeabo explanation. It makes perfect sense.
 
In Meld Janeway asks why Tuvok didn't ask one of the other Vulcans to meld with him.

"Plural".

No mention in Counterpoint.

Jesus! The unnamed Vulcan female is from season 7's repression?

AND SHE'S A MAQUIS!

No frakking excuse.
 
Other than Vorrik?

Here's the thing, if she's Maquis, she could be Romulan.

Janeway had a Romulan on Board and didn't "use" her during Eye of the Needle to prove that she was progressive, or as a hostage because not very deep down at all she's a ####?

Cinderfuckingrella.

Here's the other thing... If Janeway accepted a Maquis Romulan onto her crew no questions asked, and the Federation were allies with the Cardassians... What the frakk was Seska's beef?

Sounds more personal than political.
 
I'm pretty sure we see enough of the Vulcanoid woman to know she doesn't have the Romulan forehead. I would think if there were a Romulan on board something interesting could and should have been done with her.
I just accept her as a non Romulan, non Vulcan Vulcanoid. All the speculation is fun though.
Seska's issues seem to be about her frustrated unrequited love for Chakotay as much as anything else.

Other than "Repression" being a bad story to being with?
Wait, it must be the writers way of pissing off the Tuvok fans on purpose!!!


Oh, wrong subject.
