Re:Is there "magic" in Lexx?

As usual, I would agree with nursewhen. Indeed, I would go farther and argue that the tenor of the series is actually sceptical of magic and religion. While little is actually revealed about the day-to-day workings of the Devine Order, what we learn is that the last of the insects gets where he/she/it is through rather prosaic means- hoodwinking the populace and using science and technology. How the first host of the insect essense vaults to prominence isn’t explained, but the Order’s power is obviously portrayed, at least to this viewer, as resulting from controlling the people with a false religion backed by superior technology (Devine Assassins, the Mega Shadow, etc.). Nothing we see of the culture of the League seems to involve magic- lusticons, wife banks, the Cluster itself and the apparatus of the Cleansing. The nearest thing to magic that is seen is the Kiss, which, as noted above, might seem like magic to those who do not know its true purpose and nature (e.g. everybody).

Not wanting to spoil the fun for someone who has just started watching Lexx, I’ll simply finish by saying that, yes, Prince is a ‘different’ being and there is a Lexxian, nonmagical, explanation for vampires eventually.

Now to contradict myself- there is the Time Prophet, who has been gifted to see into the future past. Is this magical or a rare physical ability?
