Lexx - Series 2, Volume 3
The living ship Lexx and its misfit crew are an absurd anti-Star  Trek: Voyager, a motley collection of space cadets wandering the backwaters  of television sci-fi, inadvertently (and often hilariously) bringing death and  destruction to everyone they meet.The four episodes onLexx: Series 2, Volume 3show that the lusty  appetites of sad sack captain Stanley Tweedle, half-lizard love slave Xev, and  lovesick robot head 790 are in full swing. In791790 salvages the well-endowed trunk  of a decapitated cyborg found on a crash-landed prison ship, only  to find this is one body with a mind (not to mention a kinky, insatiable sex  drive) all its own. InWake the Dead, they find five lost-in-space  teenage joyriders in suspended animation and let them loose aboard Lexx. One  prank-loving idiot proceeds to order the reanimated assassin Kai to kill  everyone on the ship--and to his surprise turns the philosophical zombie into a  wisecracking slasher movie killer.Nookmay be short for "nookie," which  Xev finally gets from an all-male enclave of isolated monks they discover on the  sole island of a deep spaceWaterworld. Needless to say, her intrusion  into the monastic lifestyle stirs some unfamiliar feelings among the brothers,   who find her a very strange and arousing man indeed. Finally inNorb, the  dreaded insect king Mantrid, reborn in the first episode as a half-human killing  machine with an army of flying arms, engages the Lexx in a fatal "game" that  involves devouring the ship alive.The DVD also features another 10-minute, behind-the-scenes featurette, short  cast and creator interviews, and the third chapter ofRated LEXX, a TV  special created for the Sci Fi Channel to introduce the characters and recap the  origins.--Sean Axmaker
