So far, the plot twists that have occurred in each episode have made the story build towards a more intense ending. I think that the third series is a bit darker due to the fact that because the entire third series focuses on Fire and Water, there is a greater mystery to the planets and a more complex plot regarding what occurs, unlike in the 2nd series where each place (except The Web/Net) took up one episode, which resulted in less detail, although still very good episodes and plots.

CrankyTemplar (good call sign!) i agree the second season was pretty self-contained whereas the third season is integrated towards an ending…i also think the third season is more like what mm alluded to into the july chat when he talks about lexx not being as optimistic as americans generally like…if you look at the different stories there really are no redeeming qualities to most of the characters, they are unapologetically self-centered and the universe as a whole has nothing going for it, no aspirations to bettering mankind or any sort of noble star trek directives and that is what makes lexx a cult show rather than a mass appeal show…i’ll get off the soapbox now except for noting that it is the cynical outlook pimples and all of the human condition that makes lexx so funny…see you soon!
