Season 5
I like some of the work so far, and dislike other parts. Things I like…
790, After getting eatten by the Lexx it works perfect into your story line that LL should find him yucky and bitter. He’s no salad (but he does have a chewy center) Stan and Zev should have no problem investigating the ship (and revealing it’s layout to the viewer) looking for the source of LL indigestion.
Stan and Zev, well as part of their running love/hate relationship it should be so fitting that LL’s alcholoic byproduct (from eating so many grain and cereals and fermenting in his dyestion system) should allow for classic hilarity.
Completely forgetting their experiences with berries and “Booze” in Season 4. Xev and Stan jump right in. And in such an emotional time (New ship, New Kai maybe) one thing leads to another and Stan looses the Key. But lets not loose our heads and forget some of the “commandments” of Lexx. The Love slave never finds and good outlet for her libido. (AND NEVER WITH STAN).
Which brings me to what I don’t like about the outline. The “commandment of the Key” is broken by allowing it to superseded. One of the continuing sub-plots in Lexx is the control (or lack of) the key. I do think that the changing of hands of the key should confuse LL and shall surely bring about some adolescent development issues in LL. I think theirs quite a little gold mine of dark humor in LL (who will shurly become smarter than her mother, rather a lot like Lexx before the wormhole) struggling with growing pains and her crew right along with her.
One great adolescent development is gender identity. What sex is LL anyway? We discovered at the end of S4 that the androgonous Lexx was female. Will LL be a boy? Or is it more fun to leave the audience guessing with conflicting gender identitys?
