"Perfect"

By TrueTvWatcher, Nov 14, 2011

I Worship His Shadow was a perfect and original series premiere of of the very unique series Lexx. I really enjoyed watching this episode because it just blew me away with the story and depth and complexity of the story and characters yet how it maintains humor and fun at the same time. This was a very refreshing experience and I wish I would have watched it sooner! I was shocked at how this society is living and how horrific their corporal punishment system is. I loved the action, suspense, intrigue, and drama. I look forward to watching the next episode!!!!!!!!!

This is my favourite of the four movies. Zev immediately takes a dominant role with Stanley.

"Great"

By a_morris, Apr 11, 2007

This is my favourite of the four movies. The first time I saw it after Kai's death, I thought it started out a little slowly with the introduction of the characters, but once they all start coming together you realize that every moment counts. Moments like Stan's demerit points for sleeping in, Zev calling the guard handsome even after he insults her and banging on the hatch lock after it closes on Thodin. I like that Zev immediately takes a dominant role with Stanley by commanding him to control the Lexx and then biting him when he tries to kiss her. My most favourite moment, though, is Stan's face as they travel through the fractal core.moreless

Summary: Stan's problems start when he won't let a transport through without the correct codes. First he's repremanded, and now he's wanted dead. Making his bungled escape, he runs into Zev and 790, also trying to escape. But when His Divine Shadow sends his chief killer - Kai - after them, the only place they can go is the Special Projects area, and that's the home of the Lexx. And thats when it all kick off.

Review: I have always been a sci-fi fan, but had never had the chance to see Lexx- even though i had always wanted to, so when i did see it i was excited before the episode started. I had high expectations and these expectations were more than passed when i watched "I worship his shadow". I found the episode funny, exciting, original and entertaining. And so i look forward to watching more episodes of Lexxmoreless
