There is no television program that will attain the status of Star Trek no matter how hard they try.

I must be one of those weird people who never really could get into Star Trek, I prefer a crew which have a slightly rebellious side, not a formal crew wearing the same uniform. And I prefer a story which is more focused adventuring around the universe and visiting alien planets. The vibe you get when watching a show like Firefly is almost impossible to find in any other show and that's what puts it above Star Trek in my mind. But we all have our own tastes and I don't expect anyone to agree with me.
And when it comes to Lexx, I think that show deserves respect for many reasons. First of all it was pretty much the first show to take on the space opera genre with a very light hearted and comedic tone, and it paved the way for shows like Firefly and pushed the limits of CGI technology available at the time. And even though Lexx was a very casual watch for the most part it also had very dark undertones and a deep lore involving His Divine Shadow. The last few seasons got pretty crappy but I high recommend watching the first 2 or 3 for anyone who loves Firefly and Farscape.
This is what I call pure genius.
I tried Lexx as am a bit of a sci fi fanatic but just found it a little to odd for my liking, a little too odd.

That's one of the things I think makes it so brilliant though, that's what makes the worlds they visit in Lexx feel truly alien. Charlie Chaplin lost in space, that's the best way I've heard anyone describe Lexx. I mean what's not to love about that concept. Plus 790 has to be like the most awesome fictional robot ever.
I liked it but it was sometimes just too wierd for me.

Farscape, though. Love it. Absolutely love it, it was a slam dunk in writing & acting.
