Description
This is the unconventional sci-fi where the women are hot and the men are mostly psychos, losers or undead (but the women dig them anyway). The desperate crew of the LEXX has landed on a planet that looked benign (and tasty) from a distance but up close reveals itself to be on the brink of extinction: it's planet Earth, of course. In these four episodes, the SCI FI Channel favorite called "Star Trek's evil twin" offers ribald riffs on everything from porn to Shakespeare. Episodes include: 4.09 Fluff Daddy, 4.10 Magic Baby, 4.11 A Midsummer's Nightmare and 4.12 Bad Carrot. DVD bonus features include audio: 5.1 surround sound, 2.0 stereo; deleted scenes; LEXX-rated poster gallery; CGI gallery; behind-the-scenes photos; storyboards; production sketches; interactive trivia; and original uncut episodes including scenes not aired on TV. Starring: Brian Downey as Stanley Tweedle, Xenia Seeberg as Xev, Michael McManus as Kai and Jeffrey Hirschfield as 790.

4 out of 5 stars The best volume in the fourth series, so far........2004-06-09

4.5 stars. I can't give this volume 5 stars mostly because of yet another lack of reasonable plotting found mostly in the first episode "Fluff Daddy." Also, while some of that episode qualifies as over-the-top parody of the Porn Industry, other portions are once again just plain dirty. Here are the episodes:

4.09 Fluff Daddy--Stan thinks he has found his long-lost love, Lyekka, who apparently now works in the Porn Industry as an "actress." He convinces everyone at the location that he is the new "fluffer." If you don't know what a "fluffer" is, you will after watching this episode. The other half of this episode shows Xev' Cluster Lizard half going through a reproductive cycle when she comes across her potential mate: a performance artist who looks similar to Kai. Kai recites parts of "Henry V" while throwing tomatoes into a large fan while wearing a loin-cloth. Bizarre.

4.10 Magic Baby--This episode is entertaining for the most part, but some of the plotting goes unexplained by the end. Vlad is loose on The Lexx enslaving Moth Breeders while the three main characters return with two Druids with whom a deal was made for getting them back on board. There are some humorous moments here, but the ending is a head-scratcher.

4.11 A Midsummer's Nightmare--Yes! The show has characters singing again! This show is a disturbing parody of Shakespear's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Oberon, Titania, and Puck are all, shall we say, "flighty." Oberon wants a new "wife" and tries to recruit Xev, at first, then Stan after his first proposal is revoked. This is a classic Lexx episode with singing, dancing, disturbing yet veiled dialogue, and some great character acting from the supporting cast. A gem!

4.12 Bad Carrot--I am chuckling as I remember this episode. Some of the humor in this one is so foul that it crosses the line from bad taste into the realm of outright hilarity. The entire main cast is now on The Lexx with a carrot-shaped alien probe violating each memeber it comes into contact with. I really can't explain further because I want this review to be posted. Sufficed to say, if you love crude humor, then this episode is sublime.

This is easily the best volume in the series, thus far.

5 out of 5 stars Brian Downey said this.......2003-06-21

Lexx is so far the best show I ever liked. I even wrote Brian Downey and Michael McManus, trying to get them to say "yes" to my oncoming new ideas for animation Lexx. Since Lexx couldn't produce a spin-off, I asked Brian if Lexx can be animated and he said "yes." 2 months later after I mailed my first script, he turned me down and rejected the script. Me and Brian had a common email relationship to bring back Lexx how ever I wanted. I am not trying to hate him for what he did. I was just wanting to bring back Lexx for the sake of the fans.
