Amazon.com Lexx drifts into new territory in the third season when the giant insect-ship and its motley crew awaken from a 4,000-year hibernation circling a pair of planets locked in orbit and gripped in war. Hot-blooded Xev (Xenia Seeberg, the show's answer to Angelina Jolie) falls for the cunning Prince (sinister and seductive Nigel Bennett) of the desert planet Fire, while dead-man-walking Kai is adopted by the passive, pleasure-loving inhabitants of cool, clear Water. The four uncut episodes in this collection launch a season-long interplanetary epic of love, war, betrayal, and seduction, the latter complete with nudity unseen on TV broadcasts. The writing is inconsistent, but the goofy humor and villainous plots add enough odd bounces to keep it interesting, and the inventive set designs and digital effects (more imaginative than convincing) create a unique world for the series. The final episode ends on a cliffhanger concluded in Lexx 3.2. --Sean Axmaker Additional features The DVD features the first installment of a "making of" documentary, a gallery of location photos, brief character and cast biographies, and storyboards. From the Back Cover After a 4,000-year nap, the hapless crew members of the LEXX continue their weird and wonderful odyssey, finding themselves in a whole new kind of trouble. Their nonfunctioning ship is caught in an orbit between Water and Fire, two planets with nothing in common but hundreds of years of warfare. This darkly humorous and sexy SCI FI Channel hit gets even darker and sexier as the allegorical storyline of Series 3 begins to unfold. Location shooting amid the gothic architecture of Berlin and giant sand dunes of Namibia adds atmospherics. New high-definition technology makes it all pop off the screen.
