Lexx

On Cluster, the capital of the league of 20 000 planets, a ship with the power to destroy planets lies waiting for it's master - "His Divine Shadow". But the soon to be executed rebel Thodin has his eyes on it too, and mangles the city's computer system while engineering his escape. Using the chaos that erupts, the death sentenced security officer Stanley Tweedle and the escaped "love-slave" Zev evade capture and eventually team up with Thodin... with the undead assassin Kai following, with orders to kill them all.

Zev decides they should go to Brunnis, the original home of the Brunnen-G, in hopes of finding something that can prolong Kai's life. When they arrive they find it barren, except from holographic messages left by the eccentric "Poet Man". As they enter the library, they are totally unaware that back on the Lexx Giggerota has sprung back to life and plots to steal it with the help of the remaining Divine Predecessors.

The Lexx is forced to land on a planet to eat and replenish its energy supply. While they wait, Stanley and Zev go outside to bury Kai, who seems to have run out of the protoblood that kept him functioning. On their way back, Zev insists on investigating a structure. Too late they discover that it is filled with insane people obsessed with getting "clean bodies" to make "pattern."

Possessed by remnants of His Shadow, Kai convinces Stanley to return to the ruins of Cluster in the Light universe to search for more protoblood. They find insect larva, but it is dormant and can't produce protoblood. So Kai insists on taking it to Mantrid, an infamous scientist that might be able to revive it.

Stanley messes up the cryo-stasis revival procedure, and Kai reverts back to His Shadow's assassin for a moment, puncturing Stanley's heart. With Stanley in stasis they locate an orbital medical facility, though without any funds, they are turned down until Zev threatens them with the Lexx.

As Stanley wakes from a dream, he finds a beautiful female bearing a startling similarity to someone he used to know next to him. Just as he and Kai are trying to figure out what make of her, they make first contact with astronauts from the isolated planet Potatohole.

Out of fuel, the crew of the Lexx has no other choice than to enter stasis while the Lexx drifts through space - looking for something to eat. 4000 years later, Stan and Xev find themselves awakened by the mysterious and cruel Prince, the first inhabitant of the two planets the Lexx has settled into orbit around to make it up to the ship.

Stanley is rescued from beheading in the nick of time, when Prince learns that Stan literally holds the "key" to his victory over Water. Meanwhile, Kai crashes down on Water, encountering May - the sole survivor of the slaughter of her city by forces from Fire.

While Kai goes down to Water with a swarm of Moths to find food for the Lexx, Stanley struggles with Prince's proposition - blow up Water, or May dies again.

In the near future, an alien spaceship is discovered orbiting the moon. At the urging of his top advisor, Prince, the president of the USA makes contact in secret with the aliens' leader: A strange man who introduces himself as "Stanley H. Tweedle". Unfortunately, the contact does not go well, but Prince is prepared, suggesting they send an insane killer up to the ship in a space shuttle...

Kai and Xev are separated when their moth crashes on Earth. The loveslave ts picked up by a lovestruck Texan who proposes to her, while Kai gets mixed up with a group of UFOlogists while searching for her. Stanley gets a visit from Prince.

Xev is forced to adapt to life in prison, and Prince decides it's time for Stan to give him the key to the Lexx. Meanwhile, a new threat arrives from space - an army of carrot-like mechanical drones that start to devour anybody they come across.
