Lexx death toll

It seems both the laser and maser theories of the Lexx’s beams run into some problems. I don’t know what to make of this conundrum. And the writers are probably not saying what the beams really are simply to keep fans guessing. It seems the mystery of the Lexx’s beams will remain unsolved until explanatory dialog is written into a future episode of [i]Lexx[/i].
As said in another post, [i]LEXX[/i] does not bother in getting itself bogged down in technobabble like the [i]Trek[/i] spawn. When it comes down to it, does it really *matter* how a giant bug with biomechanical components is able to blow up a planet? Is that something that we should *concern* ourselves with? I mean, simple things like how Xev’s hair can grow while Stan’s doesn’t, why Kai’s bun grows and shrinks betwen seasons but is incredibly hard to muss, how they wash their clothes, where they brush their teeth, where those human bones come from, etc., have not been seriously answered, so I think the nature of the LEXX’s weapon is probably low on the list. It’s not that they couldn’t come up with an answer — Paul D. has a hard science background — but it’s the blissful lack of attention paid to such *incredibly* boring details such as this that gives [i]LEXX[/i] its delirious edge. The science they’ve used in the past has fluctuated between being halfway accurate to incredibly and grossly innacurate, and one gets the feeling that they just say some things because it “sounds right.”
