I have to disagree with the commonly held misconception that Lexx is pornography. I have always understood the difference between pornography and erotica to be this: Pornography shows the actual sexual act where erotica merely alludes to it. Lexx is replete with innuendo, and does have occaisional nudity, but it definitely falls under the definition of erotica, IMHO.
As to the Key’s methods of transfer, I could only hazard the guess that the Beans wanted to shake up the dynamic of the show by having others be able to take the Key without having to kill Stanley to do it.
I have to agree that Uther does remind me of Ozzy. I thought that the first time I saw ‘Magic Baby’. Whether it was intentional on the Beans parts is anyone’s guess. I’ve never heard it mentioned in any interviews or chats.
