Category: Lexx

Rescued by Kai in a balloon, Stan and Xev return to the Lexx, where Stan decides that the next time Lexx is aimed at Fire, the desert planet should be destroyed. Questioning Stan’s judgement, Xev decides that the time has come for him to surrender the key to the Lexx – but Kai knows of no way to transfer the key other than through death. 790 discovers that the next best thing may be to bring Stan to the height of sexual ecstasy, but it may be difficult to find volunteers for that particular task. And what may be more of a task is for Stan to get it back if he loses it.

The Lexx is less than a week away from crashing into either Fire or Water unless it receives food, and plenty of it. And it looks like they may be able to get it from a city called Garden on Water, where three women tend to a bountiful supply of food. Stanley is so enthralled with Garden – and especially its gardeners – that he begins to entertain thoughts of staying there rather than trying to salvage the Lexx. When the ladies offer to plant a dream for Stanley that will sprout into reality, Stan has them grow a new Lyekka. But just like the original, this Lyekka awakens with a ravenous appetite – and worse yet, balloons from Fire are en route to recapture the crew for Prince.

The attack on Garden is swift and deadly, and Lyekka is killed within moments. Stan and Kai see their moth lifting off, and Kai uses his brace to board the ship and throw its pilot out, but instead of Xev they find a bomb aboard the moth. Kai and Stan bail out, but Kai is able to attach himself to one of Prince’s balloons, and gets Stan to safety (after throwing that balloon’s crew overboard). Prince and one of his most loyal underlings, Priest, are holding Xev hostage on another balloon as a bargaining chip. But with Kai gaining altitude – a position from which he can attack any of Prince’s balloons – Prince must count on Priest to make a supreme sacrifice for the sake of victory. As the stakes rise, both Prince’s army and the crew of the Lexx discover the limits of their loyalty, their sacrifice, and their endurance.

Xev has escaped the balloon battle by riding a stray gondola through the atmospheric interface and onto the surface of Fire, and Stanley and Kai follow with little idea of her precise landing point. They do find what’s left of her balloon, and decide to scout for her at the nearest town on Fire – a place known as Girltown. Within the town’s walls, a strange drama of gender reversal appears to be playing itself out, as Kai discovers an oppressed population of men who seem to be fulfilling traditionally female roles. Stanley is captured and brought before Girltown’s ruler, the vicious Queen, only to realize that she may be Giggerota in disguise. Queen seems intrigued by the fact that Stanley hasn’t died yet – indeed, en route to Girltown, Kai admits that he has noticed that many of his enemies from the other universe seem to have resurfaced on Fire or Water in some form. Even when Kai and Xev arrive to rescue Stanley from what Queen says will be but the first of his many deaths, the rescue attempt goes horribly wrong, leaving Xev alone – with the key to the Lexx.

Stanley and Kai plummet into the ocean of Water, where Kai sinks immediately. Though he is able to tread water for a while, Stan eventually weakens and drowns, and Xev later retrieves his body with a moth. She is unable to revive him, which doesn’t explain why Stan awakens after washing ashore on a beach – and landing at Prince’s feet. Prince intends to try Stan for his life’s wrongdoings, and Stan quickly realizes that Stan will leave no stone unturned, no misdeed unjudged, and no thought unscrutinized. Facing this kind of prosecution, how will Stanley wind up anywhere except Fire?

Having returned from his inexplicable reappearance on Water, Kai joins Xev on a mission to Fire to rescue Stanley once and for all. The Lexx has finally regained enough power to leave the twin planets, but Xev is determined not to leave without the ship’s full crew. But there’s just one catch – Stanley Tweedle has died, and his soul has been consigned to Fire. Prince controls his fate. And even if Stanley is reincarnated, as all the other residents of Fire and Water seem to be, he may never again be able to leave.
