"Lexx is a science fantasy television series that follows the adventures of a group of mismatched individuals aboard the organic space craft Lexx. They travel through two universes and encounter planets including a parody of our own.
The crew of the Lexx is motivated largely by fear, lust, and insatiable hunger — factors which gradually came to dominate the story-lines more and more, eventually making Lexx famous for its sexual themes and often bizarre story-lines. Each episode in the later series takes the crew through another stage of their journey through chaotic, hostile universes without any legitimate authority while exploring the relationships between the protagonists and their individual histories.
The Lexx is a bio-engineered, Manhattan-sized, planet-destroying, bioship in the shape of a giant wingless dragonfly, or to the remotely Freudian eye, a phallus. It was grown by ingesting organ collections from the protein bank on the Cluster, the seat of the Divine Order, for use by His Divine Shadow. The Lexx was originally intended as the ultimate deterrent: the threat of a weapon that could instantly obliterate any planet would keep the remaining "Heretic" worlds of the Light Universe in line, and those that refused to capitulate would be summarily destroyed to reinforce the point. This plan was foiled when the crew commandeered it to escape from the Cluster."
Anyone else love this show? I just got to season 3 and I'm liking it more. I thought season 2 dragged and I thought having the Shadow be part of Mantrid was stupid because he was so cool and evil and had a sexy evil darth-vader wannabe voice in season 1.
Season 1 was really cool because of His Shadow.
Although it's corny it's got a cool story and characters, and attempts to be ORIGINAL unlike Star Trek and all those other wannabe shows. It's also nice how it doesn't take itself TOO seriously i.e. caring about Dilithium Crystals and quantum physics and all that stuff that nobody cares about.
Each of the four seasons change things up significantly to keep it interesting.
Season 1 is about the characters escape from the tyrannical planet and fighting His Shadow in the Dark Universe;
Season 2 the crew of the Lexx try to find a planet suitable for their needs i.e. Hunger, Sex in the Light Universe;
Season 3 has the Crew wake up after 4000 years in the Dark Universe caught in a war between two planets of Fire and Water;
Season 4 takes place on Earth.
