I think it's the shock of surrendering the cosmic freedom of the second series for an endless back- and- forthing between two planets that one doesn't give a shit about. > The 4th season is just okay. Better than that. "Xevivor", "Walpurgis Night", "Vlad", "A Midsummer's Nightmare", "The Game", "Viva Lexx Vegas", "Trip", "Lyekka vs. Japan" and "Yo Way Yo" are all excellent epis in S4. > And the "1st season" movies are absolutely horrible I'd call the first and fourth good, although there was so much setting- up to do in the first one that it seemed to crowd out everything else-- even though there was a weird first climax, followed by a second, inferior one, the time spent with which could've been better spent on "touches". The third's my favorite. But I'm a sucker for worm- queens.
