Lexx

We've been watching this series, Lexx. I found out about it by perusing the tv series section at Target. I wouldn't recommend watching this show except if you just want to have another ota to share with friends at sci-fi conventions. It's a perverse, off-channel, Canadian/German sci-fi series, in a slimy underworld expansive future far from the lofty expectations of ST:TNG. There is a dead assassin, a half-human/lizard love slave, a robot head (just the head), and a basal maintenance guy in a Joel Robinson-style maroon jumpsuit. The Lexx spaceship is organic, but not clean and futuristic like the Vorlons in Babylon 5, more like being inside of a farm animal replete with strange walls, fluid ports, and squishy controls. It's saving grace is that it has the power to slice a planet with its Kinsu energy weapon.
