Things to do in the Dark Zone when you're dead with LEXX's Kai

Немного предыстории... Именно у этого номера журнала TV Zone было два выпуска. Один вышел для Великобритании 15 октября, а для США - 2 ноября 1998, но из-за типографских неполадок были допущены ошибки и перепутаны тексты для страниц 38/39, 46/47, 54/55 и 62/63. В ошибке быстро разобрались и через неделю был выпущен новый тираж, 22 октября для великобритании и 9 ноября дл США. Статья с итнтервью ММ счастливо избежала путаницы, она напечатана на страницах 35, 36, 37.



THE FUTURE, ladies and gentlemen, will not be clean, pleasant or even remotely nice. The idealism of Star Trek will not so much have left the building as never been allowed to gatecrash in the first place. Instead, it will if we are to believe the makers of LEXX be dark, nasty and dangerous.
If you haven't seen LEXX, which first aired as a series of four telemovies in 1997, then don't worry. Just imagine Blake's 7 produced by men and women in the midst of acute heroin withdrawal (just past the projectile vomiting stage if you want to be specific), and you'll be somewhere near the mark. However, you don't have to take TV zone's word on this. Canadian actor Michael McManus - who plays the assassin Kai, essentially a 2,000-year-old animated corpse - concurs. "The world is a downright menacing place, the Universe is a place where people don't have any vision," he explains as he talks about the future-world of LEXX. "They pretend to but they don't. They're just looking out for number one in some of the most absurd ways."
