I'm sure this might have been posted here some time ago, but I never read about it because I wasnt watching either series. I buddy just loaned me his Farscape Season 1 set and I am starting to watch the show for the first time. Overall I do like it, not as much as B5 or even DS9, but I think its a solid show and has me interested. I dont see myself being a crazed fan of it, but its better than most stuff out there.
I have a question regarding this show. I noticed there was another show "Lexx" which seemed VERY similar. I remember a Trek episode talking about some guys theory of "Parallel Planet Development" well Farscape and Lexx seem to be one of those cases of "Parallel Show Development." I'm sure the die-hard Farscape fans will tell me they are NOTHING alike...but spare me, here is what I have read up on the "General premise" of those two shows and what they have in common:
1) Both involve fugatives
2) Both are on a Living Ship
3) Both of a human-ish Captain leader type (Crichton and that Stanley dude)
I realize that they can differ greatly from those points, but it is too much of a cooincidence how close they are. At first I thought Lexx was some cheap rip-off of Farscape...but Lexx was on the air like a year or two BEFORE Farscape (Which I didnt know).
Anyone know what the deal with these 2 shows are and why they seem like the same basic idea?
