The four episodes on Lexx: Series 2, Volume 3 show that the lusty appetites of sad sack captain Stanley Tweedle, half-lizard love slave Xev, and lovesick robot head 790 are in full swing. In 791 790 salvages the well-endowed trunk of a decapitated cyborg found on a crash-landed prison ship, only to find this is one body with a mind (not to mention a kinky, insatiable sex drive) all its own. In Wake the Dead, they find five lost-in-space teenage joyriders in suspended animation and let them loose aboard Lexx. One prank-loving idiot proceeds to order the reanimated assassin Kai to kill everyone on the ship--and to his surprise turns the philosophical zombie into a wisecracking slasher movie killer. Nook may be short for "nookie," which Xev finally gets from an all-male enclave of isolated monks they discover on the sole island of a deep space Waterworld. Needless to say, her intrusion into the monastic lifestyle stirs some unfamiliar feelings among the brothers, who find her a very strange and arousing man indeed. Finally in Norb, the dreaded insect king Mantrid, reborn in the first episode as a half-human killing machine with an army of flying arms, engages the Lexx in a fatal "game" that involves devouring the ship alive.
The DVD also features another 10-minute, behind-the-scenes featurette, short cast and creator interviews, and the third chapter of Rated LEXX, a TV special created for the Sci Fi Channel to introduce the characters and recap the origins. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of Lexx - Series 2, Volume 3
Tangents, tangents everywhere!!! This third volume in Series 2 takes a step backward as far as sustaining my interest, but there are still plenty of good moments throughout the four episodes. I am going to break down my review in to four parts, each concerning a specific episode. My primary complaint here is that the through-story created during the first two volumes is completely ignored for the first three episodes of this part. They seemed to be more concerned with attempts at parody and double-entendres than continuing the legacy. These are the episodes:
2.9 791--The crew receives a distress signal and they go down to investigate. The robot head, 790, tags along and they discover a cyborg with a missing head. 790 considers this the Holy Grail in his pursuit of bedding Xev, and while left alone attempts to connect himself to the hunky cyborg...with disastrous results. The most disastrous being the cyborg's overriding desire to experience intimacy with Stanley Tweedle. This episode, and all that it entails, has some disturbing moments. Just wait for the final line of the teleplay and prepare to laugh heartily.
2.10 Wake the Dead--This is a failed attempt at a parody of Teen Slasher flicks. While there are some campy moments courtesy of Michael McManus hamming it up, there is no real tension and the direction is extremely poor. Some tighter editing may have helped, as well. Overall, this was pretty boring.
2.11 Nook--This is easily my favorite episode on this particular DVD. They discover a "waterworld" with a single continent home to a colony of men. Only men. The culture they possess is actually believable considering the Sci-fi behind it. This is an interesting look at alien influence on a seeming Utopia. Of course, Xev wants to stay and sleep with all of the inhabitants. She even joins in the Summer Solstice Masquerade, dressing up as an alluring feline. Meow!
2.12 Norb--The character of Norb, first introduced in episode 2.8 "White Trash," makes an appearance. But he is not what he seems. This starting point leads to a fluid segue return to the story of Mantrid, and his diabolical need for destruction. It was good to see the story get back in line here, although the seperate stories were entertaining at times.
This is some crazy stuff!
season two picking up
it took a while for the story arc to get going in season 2 but i guess that is cause they had to space it out over twenty eps. Any way it gets moving along here and is just fantastic. Even the stand alone eps are great as well. the most fun on tv ever. it starts out with 791. Not my favorite Lexx episode but it has its moments. Then a classic. Wake the DEAD. One of the episodes where Kia goes completely bonkers and tries to kill every one. He is absolutly convincing as a dead assasin who has recovered his memory and then reprogrammed by a meddling kid who told him to kill every one on the Lexx. Then there is Nook. The episode that Xev had been waiting for ever since she was transformed into a love slave with a personality. She lost her verginity. It is wacky and fun but also disterbing in a sexual way. You'll see what I mean. And finally we look at Norb. The return of Norb, the little kid from White Trash, and the return of Mantrid. This is the episode where all the eaten planets finally gets explaned. The story arc is pushed full steam ahead here without any flaws. We also learn something about 790 which makes his day more enjoyable than if he saw Stan get chopped in half by Kia's brace and fed to the Lexx. Oh and by the way, has anyone else ever noticed that every person on the show has been killed at least once. All the main characters have all died at least twice. Just thought that I would point that out. Hope you enjoy.
LEXX APPEAL
The video transfer is excellent on this DVD, however the sound leaves a lot to be desired. I have a good audio system hooked into my television and the audio tracks were still bad. I was disappointed in sound quality. When you purchase a DVD you expect a higher quality level all around.
