Standing apart from the rest of the original <I>Lexx</I> narrative, the third in the series takes a detour from the story arc and lands the hungry, living ship on a garbage planet for refueling. The impulsive Zev goes exploring and winds up the prisoner of an underground scavenger society headed by Rutger Hauer's weirdly demented Bog, and Stanley becomes one of the citizens, who are all addicted to a glowing green liquid brewed from human flesh. Now there's not only a fresh supply, but a ship to search the galaxy for more, and the suddenly giddy, goofy Stanley is only too happy to be their chauffeur in exchange for his share of the liquid, known as "pattern." The story of a parasite-ruled society slowly devouring itself in addiction and cannibalism is a twisted take on familiar themes but, for all its grungy art direction, the episode gets stuck in claustrophobic sets and stifled action. Hauer, however, makes a truly freaky drug lord, stuttering and mumbling behind slathered-on lipstick and a tangle of a hairdo, while the wild climax adds a new take on the classic <I>Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman</I>. The initial quartet of <I>Lexx</I> adventures concludes in the next episode, "Giga Shadow." <I>--Sean Axmaker</I>
Viewer Reviews
Aside from the alluring absurdity of a robot head, undead assassin, cowardly space security guard and beautiful half-human, half cluster lizard love slave all flying about the 2 known universes in a living spaceship/bug, Lexx invites the watcher to step outside themselves and use their imagination. Without spelling things out, you come to realize that there is more going on in the garbage planet than first meets the eye. Unfolding into an interestingly complicated but entertaining story, you will never look at the word "pattern" quite the same again.
