Ever heard of a spiffy show called Lexx, a Canadian/German joint production, extremely imaginative. It puts all these new Stargate and Startrek spinoffs to shame. Although, it doesn’t take its self too seriously, has an intentional goofy vibe, and is full of blatant sexual innuendo.

790 is a robot head. Xen is an escaped love slave. Xen was fat and ugly. She grew up in a little box with a computer and robot arms training her to please men. When Xen was about to be transformed into a beauty and reprogrammed, an escape broke out on the Lexx, the space ship.

A Cluster Lizard ended up getting its head cut off in the beautification machine with Xen, she escaped before the reprogramming process began, and 790 (the robot running the process) got his head cut off and it rolled into the reprogrammer which caused him to fall in love with Xev.

It was on the SyFy channel like 10 years ago. But you can watch it right now on Hulu:http://www.hulu.com/lexx

Wow, Tom Hanks is really stupid, or possibly just one more delusional Hollywood Leftist. He’s done a lot to teach history by acting in several great movies, but listen to what he said in a Time Magazine interview talking about the HBO series he’s in, about WWII in the Pacific.

“From the outset, we wanted to make people wonder how our troops can re-enter society in the first place,” Hanks says. “How could they just pick up their lives and get on with the rest of us? Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as ‘yellow, slant-eyed dogs’ that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different. Does that sound familiar, by any chance, to what’s going on today?”

That’s just plain stupid. The Japanese were set on building an empire, which required consolidating Pacific Asia, which meant controlling the Pacific, which meant removing the US and Allied Navies. Their plan was to deliver one mighty blow at Perl harbor – one that would cripple the US forces in the Pacific bad enough that we couldn’t recover. But the screwed up. All the aircraft carries weren’t in port yet. Within days we had many of the sunken ships floating again. And the attack lit a fire under America’s ass which had her turning our war ships to fast to name.

The reason we called the Japanese racist names is the same reason we’ve given names to all our enemies: It makes killing them less personal – which isn’t bad. Calling German boys “Krauts” didn’t remove some moral block that caused death. Calling German boys “Krauts” just made it easier for our boys to stomach what they had to do, which was rescue a foreign land from a sadistic tyrant by killing his followers.

Because we live differently??? FFS Tom, WWII was about two empires taking over their regions of the globe while the greatest empire stood around watching. Few things in history are as clear cut as the causes of WWII. You’re buddy FDR kept us out until we HAD to go in all the way. If we would have thrown in with the British after old Adolf strolled into Belgium – the term “World War” would mercifully be a fictional phrase – you stupid ass.
