History YMMV / Lexx

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Most of the CG and blue screen effects in the first season are not convincing, and the same effects from the later seasons have not aged well (not to mention an extremely ChromaKey sequence when the crew are escaping from Mantrid's prison in the second season opener). As mentioned above, however, some see it as NarmCharm.

** Prince. Hell Prince is TheDveil and Death all in one!

*** In fact, an alarmingly large number of the people the crew meet
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Several. Usually whenever Kai sacrifices himself for the good of the universe, the crew decides to turn around and start fighting, and that Brunnen-G music starts playing.
** [[spoiler:Squish killing the Gigashadow by ''eating its brain''.]]
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYoq6sovr8Y Brunnen-G anthem]].
** If this should be our final stand / we will stand together with pride / we will honour the past / and fight to the last / it will be a good way to die.
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXxY8DYPLu4 Lexx Theme]].
** The ending credits theme, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNHvRqNHn8w&feature=related Battle of the Universe]]".
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znlMR6Q9J9w&feature=related Season 2 opening theme]].

** The death of Zev at the end of "Terminal" is also rather sad (although she is, of course, resurrected as Xev in the next episode).

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The fourth movie. His Shadow can be ''creepy.'' A number of episodes, like "Twilight", have a genuinely unsettling feel of impending doom.
** "Norb" as well; those Mantrid Drones were bloody creepy as hell. Especially noise they made flying around inside Lexx.
** The whole "organ harvesting" scene in "I Worship His Shadow" counts as this, especially considering the unfortunate victims are ''alive'' during the process.
** Brizon's life support tank. Ugh.
** The queen worm in "Eating Pattern" is pretty freaky, mostly due to the [[UncannyValley eerie-looking Wist face]] on the end of her tentacle-tongue-thing. Heck, the mere concept of the worms from this episode is just plain disturbing.
** Giggerota's tongue-with-a-sharp-toothed-mouth-on-the-end-of-it. That is all. Also she served as the prime nightmare fuel of Stanley Tweedle in the episode "Patches in the Sky."
** Stan's intended punishment in "Stan's Trial". *shudder*
** Imagine being a part of "Lafftrack's" [[AndIMustScream studio audience]].
*** Or working the bellows on Fire.
** The Web in "The Web/The Net", especially with scenes of an ''obviously'' possessed Stan.
** [[spoiler:Zombie!Xev]] in "Twilight".

** [[spoiler:The Dark Lady]] in "Woz".
* TearJerker: Lexx may be a 6000 year old Manhattan sized insect who enjoys blowing up planets, but in the series finale [[spoiler:as Lexx is dying of old age, his voice slowing down as it becomes harder to speak, he tells Stan that he "was always my favourite captain" and that he's going to miss him. You can't help but feel sad for the big bug.]]
** The final act of the series finale is, though ultimately better than a BittersweetEnding, absolutely heartbreaking.
** Also from the finale:
--> '''Lexx:''' You are my favorite captain. And Stan?
--> '''Stan:''' ''[Annoyed and impatient]'' Yes, Lexx?
--> '''Lexx:''' I'm going to...miss...you...
--> '''Stan:''' I'm going... ''[Mood visibly shifts]'' ...I'm going to miss you too, Lexx...

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: [[spoiler:In ''Brigadoom,'' Stan is inspired by Kai's story and spontaneously grows a spine.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: Part of the love slave transformation for female prisoners is for her brain to be reprogrammed so that she falls madly in love with and is fanatically devoted to the first person she sees after the reprogramming is complete, which would be whoever her owner would be. At Zev's trial, it is explained that the owner can treat his love slave any way he pleases and discard her when he gets tired of her. So basically he could abuse her to his heart's content and she would continue to worship the ground he walks on no matter how horrible he was to her. This programming would hold even if he got tired of her, which would cause untold anguish for her when he abandoned her. This is hammered home when after she is sentenced, Zev begs the judge to send her to the protein bank instead.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Several, even taking into account the show's general style. The usual reaction to a BLAM is the likely intention, too.

** Brother Trager in "Nook".

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: As bizarre as the show and characters are, more than one episode reaffirms that the crew all genuinely (if loosely, and with the exception of 790) cares for each other. The final scene is, despite what happens immediately before, positively touching.
** The scene from near the end of "Supernova", when the crew believe that they are going to perish in the supernova on Brunnis. Kai puts his arm around Zev, who reaches for Stan's hand. He takes it. They then just stand there in silence.
** The scene after Kai discovers [[UglyCute Squish]] in "Gigashadow". Squish believes Kai to be its mother, and shows its affection by nuzzling him. Kai gives it a sweet little kiss on the head in response.
** From "Lafftrack":
--> '''Kai:''' "I remember having a fondness for balloons."

** Cleasby in "Prime Ridge". He overlaps with WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds given how much he loves his guns.

** Imagine being a part of "Lafftrack's" studio audience.
