Well, one may well have been a rip of the other...Lexx of Farscape, that is.
A), Farscape came first. It started in 1997; Showtime premiered Lexxx a year later
B), Lexxx wouldn't have been out of place on the Playboy Channel
C), Even if Lexxx had had a storyline, its triple-x-ness (a phallic ship that fires its weapon by, errmmm, firing its weapon?!?) would keep anyone who doesn't appreciate pr0n from watching.
Tass is gonna tell me I'm a frelling idiot for saying this next, but, while I'm not a Farscape fan (watched maybe 5 eps during the earthfall arc), there doesn't exist sufficient filthy lucre in this universe to get me to watch even 10 minutes of Lexxx.
