So what is it I find so utterly fascinating about a series that follows
the adventures of a spaceship that is actually a giant bug and its
crew consisting of a somewhat befuddled captain, a love slave, an
undead former assassin and a disembodied robot head? Is it the
dark humor? The sexuality? The path of destruction in their wake?
The very idea of a show centered around antiheros?
All of the above.
Okay, so the gorgeous dead assassin who sleeps in a frozen coffin
may have influenced me a bit more than the others in the beginning.
I was always a fan of vampires. And let's face it, Kai needs
protoBLOOD to remain animated. He's real good at killing people.
Has that deathly pale complexion, been dead 6000 years and is still
going strong... He's not at all influenced by vampire lore. Riiiight!I mean, just look at him!
Being in the US my own exposure to LEXX is limited to what they
have shown here on the SCI-FI channel. Mostly Season 2 and the
Start of Season 3. I have seen Season 1 through the kindness of a
friend, a less edited version than was shown on SCI-FI.
There is little I can add that is new. What I can offer is my
own Lexx Web Graphics. But since anything I have to say has
been said better by others here are a few of the best Lexx
sites out there.
