(More customer reviews)The long-awaited dvd releases of this season 2 series kicks into high gear with the release of #4, which includes one of my personal favorite episodes,"Wake the Dead" and a journey into some space-kink with "791" and "Nook", and wraps it up nicely with "Norb", which showcases the arch-enemy Mantrid's return to the series for a climactic finish to the series down the line. "Wake the Dead" allows Michael McManus to release all that pent-up aggression suppressed by being dead and gives one of the funniest serial killer/slasher movie parodies in recent memory, and serves as his all-time favorite episode as well. "791" lets 'Lyekka',(man-eating plant person) and 790 to realize some suppressed desires, but not necessarily with each other. Lyekka wants food,(people type food) and 790 wants Xev, and gets himself a body to prove it, with dire results. "Nook" serves as the episode where Xev finally gets what she wants, but the price may be too high. The subplot with Stanley and the monk hilariously delves into the realm of innuendo in the form of bisexuality, again a welcome sideview of desires left unrealized. "Norb" sees the return of Mantrid and the youngster from "White Trash", both of which turn in excellent performances. The tension during the chase scenes with the drone arms were especially spine-tingling and left me with a distinct sense of dread for the coming episodes, which is exactly what they were supposed to do. All in all, a great combo, and the picture quality was far superior to the first two dvds previously released, the interviews and extra goodies also were a delightful bonus..A must-have for the Lexx fan..
