About 8 years ago, I happened to catch an episode of Lexx on the SciFi Channel, and was immediately captivated by its twisted cast of characters and the incredibly weird universe they inhabit. The show deals with the adventures of the motley crew of the Lexx, a living spaceship capable of destroying planets, then eating the leftovers. The plots are brimming with brilliant concepts, quirky humor and kinky sexual situations, like the romantic triangle between the undead assassin, Kai, the decapitated head of lovesick robot 790, and Zev, a hot babe who’s half cluster lizard. The show lasted 4 seasons, and got pretty much unwatchable (in my opinion) towards the end, but series 1 and 2 were more focused, and dealt primarily with the battle between the crew of the Lexx and the evil and mysterious alien, His Shadow, who rules over their universe.

Seasons 2 through 4 are available on DVD here in the US, but season 1, which consisted of four 2-hour television movies, seems to only be available in Germany. If you’re a diligent googler, you can find most of season 1 on YouTube and DailyMotion, where I managed to scrounge up three-fifths of the first episode, I Worship His Shadow. Enjoy, meatbags!

I don’t know if I am going to be one of those moms who speaks “Goo goo, ga ga” baby talk to my kid. I am hoping to teach him the proper pronunciation of words. This Dwink Juice Box Holder is just too cute.

Speaking of public access, one of my old partners in community-televised crime, Rob Mattison, kept at it long after Chester’s Chillers folded, and began producing a show called, Model Citizen, devoted to the care and feeding of resin- and plastic-models like the Monarch Nosferatu kit featured in this clip from the online version of the show. By the way, Rob just sold his first comic story, a classy little number in the Toxic Avenger graphic novel, called Toxic Avenger Vs. Rectum [Link]. Way to go, Rob!
