The thing I found most disturbing in the episode was her total lack of any emotion or feeling when the planet and all the people on it were blown to Kingdom Come. It seems like the only normal sex Stan ever had was in Boomtown and White Trash. His experiences with Xev were when he had girl parts and Xev was packin’ a trauma and when Prince was Xev. Kinda creepy.[/B]
i guess i had not thought of nook in terms of stan having normal sex but you know you are right…my lexx buddy is gay and he didn’t like nook because he felt it was just another instance of gay men getting killed…i said he was indulging in ghetto thinking and that it was actually quite sympathetic, particularly the scene where stan gently turns down the gay monk who was coming on to him…stan in general shows glimpses of the person he might have been had he not been warped by his ‘1984’ society and upbringing…xev is like a child, all id and egocentricity but she has been consistently growing up throughout the series…remember she was raised in a box and really had no contact with people until she had her transformation and became a fugitive with stan and kai…and yes rustam, kai is the only intellectual relief in the show, but his is the culture that stagnated and more or less committed mass suicide by inaction (at least as far as we know through brigadoom) so i guess pure intellectualism holds its own downside, after all he is the dead character, who will never grow or change, although he certainly holds our interest on many levels [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img] …as we have talked about before (and as mm alluded to in his chat) lexx is fundamentally a very down show,not utopic at all, and that combined with the twisted humor is what makes it so different and compelling
