So… What did you think of K-Town?
“I am Mantrid.”
“I am the greatest bio-vizier who ever lived.”
“I destroyed a universe!”
K-Town was great! It would have been four stars if it weren’t so confusing. It’s like watching “Babylon 5” for the first time with random clips from “The X-Files” cut in. I spent the whole episode wondering “What the hell is going on? Is that…no! Does this qualify as a plot, or just a weird dream?” [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/confused.gif[/img]
Dieter Laser had a stronger performance than any of his previous episodes except maybe “Mantrid,” even though I’m not sure this character was the same as his other one. This one seemed almost…likable. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/eek.gif[/img] He helped our heroes, he acted totally selfless (he didn’t even know who he was!), and he lost his life saving Kai’s (sort of).
I was right! Kai does have nanites keeping him alive. You knew with a semi-mechanical character as a regular on a show, sooner or later they had to make an episode where he’s broken and needs to be fixed. Still, it would have been nice if he had kept his pants on. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/frown.gif[/img] When he started to go bonkers, I was all like “‘The wheel doth turn!’ Come on, Kai!” Unfortunately, he collapsed without showing the Brunnen-G’s poet side.
I think I’ve figured out why Schlemmi and Mantrid and Vigo are all back on Fire. Schlemmi was wrong, it’s not just a mistake in time-space, Prince brought them there! That nut used his powers to create quantum singularities to transport the Lexx crew’s enemies 4,332 years into the future into the Dark Zone to fight them again…and this time hopefully win! Mantrid was dead, so he had to settle for a clone. It would only be natural for the mad bio-vizier to make clones of himself, so he would have organs and cells of his own tissue type around to replace his own organs and cells as they died. One wonders how many clones had already died so he could live long enough to meet His Divine Shadow. And Vigo was probably just one of a bunch of clones to be servants for the Divine Order’s biotechnicians. I’m not sure what the deal is with the Downstairs People, but I think Prince ordered them to prevent our heroes from getting to the top of the tower. Prince is a coward, never fighting his own battles. That still doesn’t explain the “not helping” thing, but that could relate to something Prince told them to motivate them against the Lexx crew (“Maybe this is a game.”).
And how come Duke said he would come back when Prince killed him? The only logical explanation is that he exists as an essence that passes from host to host when one human body wears out or dies. Duke is an Insect. Prince probably is, too, and if there is a Queen of Fire so is she. I think we can all figure who the King of Fire is (“…he did not kill me as I live on.”). This whole Fire and Water deal could be just a trap to kill the characters so they do not interfere with the destruction of Earth and the Second Insect Wars.

Some of this or even all is probably revealed at the end of season 3, but don’t tell me if I’m right or wrong if you’ve seen it. I prefer to watch and speculate. Besides, I’m pretty sure I’m right on the nose. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
