    Lexx, a show about a giant dragonfly spaceship that destroys planets and the creepy cowardly idiot who somehow lucked into becoming the single person in the two universes that it obeys. And an undead assassin-warrior-poet. And a woman who survived a botched “love slave” transformation. And a weird robot head.

    It’s outrageously strange and strangely horny and hornily gross. Highly recommend if you like weird TV.

      Lexx resulted in my marriage (at a lan bash, we’re all sharing the ol’ yar har haar me maties, a certain young gentleman browses the wares, goes “holy shit Lexx, who has all of Lexx i must find this person” and 20 years later we have matching rings, a house and cats. )

      Actually just finished snagging the 1080 rip, makes my dvd boxset look like poo

      The woman was called Xev Bellringer. But don’t google it because you’ll find something else.

      Lexx is brimming with campy nonsense!

      But it has moments when an actor delivers a heartfelt performance that tells a meaningful story.

      And then those moments are followed by a robot with a saw arm chasing some folks through a cardboard maze before a planet gets blown up.

      I loved Lexx. It was one of those weird science fiction series that were popping up in the 90s as a response to the success of ST: TNG and Battlestar Gallactica. I haven’t watched it in decades, I have to go find it.

      My cat was named after the undead-assassin-warrior-poet.

      Great show in that it is so strange and offbeat that you don’t really know why things are happening but they certainly are happening.

          I would if I could but he went with my ex while I kept the dog, who is named after the god emperor of the known universe.
