Apocalexx Roxx!

The “ghost army” (or were they marines?) struck me as quite different in tone from the rest of the episode, and from LEXX in general, in that they seemed to be presented entirely without satire or irony. They were brave, courteous and kind, and their deaths seemed genuinely poignant–unlike those of the POWs at the beginning of the episode.

I gather that this episode (or at least part of it) was filmed after–but not long after–Sept. 11. Could that have affected how US soldiers were being shown? Do you think the writers changed the script because of it?
