Lexx Series 4 Volume 6

Rating:
Summary: All good things...
Review: Well, the series ends with this DVD in a great finale filled with adventure and deep emotion. No, I'm not being sarcastic. Here are the episodes:

4.21 Viva Lexx Vegas--This is the kind of slip-shod episode that eventually sank the series. The story is ridiculous, even for this show, the editing is extremely poor as are the makeup effects for the giant zombie killing-machine loose in a Las Vegas Hotel. The only reason I will ever watch this episode again will be to see Xenia Seeberg (aka "Xev") dressed up as Cleopatra. She looks amazing! Otherwise, throw this episode in the trash.

4.22 Trip--This is an interesting and entertaining episode where the crew are given a gift from Lyekka in the form of two poisonous berries that initially bring on euphoria, then homicidal paranoia. This one had me on edge and filled with genuine concern for Stan and Xev. That is the sign of a special episode, for me. When I completely forget that I am watching a show and become involved in the story and where the characters are going. That happens in this episode.

4.23 Lyekka vs. Japan--This episode is a fairly lame attempt at a parody of Godzilla films. Most of this particular episode is forgettable. There are a few decent special effects that recommend its viewing, but in the end this episode is simply mediocre by Lexx standards.

4.24 Yo Way Yo--The makers of the show once again gun for a return for a fifth season with a fantastic episode. This is probably the finest episode in season 4, and the only episode in the entire Lexx catalog that actually made me tear up during a very moving scene where Kai flies alone, deep into the alien Mother craft with a particle-accelerator set for detonation. Prince grants Kai his wish to be alive, and as Kai makes his way to the heart of the vessel he begins singing the theme song to the show "Yo Way Yo" which is only sung by his race of warrior-poets when going into battle expecting to die. I actually got chills! This is a great series. For every lame moment or bad story there were ten spectacular moments and mesmerizing/hilarious stories that smothered them. I will remember the best of this series, fondly.

Take it easy. Yo Way Yo!
