Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* 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.

* It's stated in the series that the dead (and parts of the living) are entered into the protein bank. Does that mean that births are considered figurative withdrawals or worse yet loans? Furthermore there is a lot of cannibalism on the show how does that equate to the protein bank, skipping the middle man? The scale of the technology to cross two whole universes, guidance from less than benevolent bureaucrat and empathic desensitization looks like it lead to many becoming ConditionedToAcceptHorror.

** The protein bank is probably supposed to be taken as equivalent to a blood bank. A bank is, fundamentally, a place to store things. Of course, the Protein Bank doesn't actually exist, all that material is just being used to feed the Lexx or the Gigashadow.

* 790 became crazier and more antisocial as the show went on - {{Flanderization}}, or is Love Slave programming just that powerful?

* The whole "organ harvesting" scene in "I Worship His Shadow" counts as this, especially considering the unfortunate victims are ''alive'' during the process.

* The whole "organ harvesting" scene in "I Worship His Shadow" counts as this, especially considering the unfortunate victims are ''alive'' during the process. Especially when we see them dropped on the processing line and the shot zooms back to show the scale; the same thing has been done to a city's worth of people in a short period, and this is going on all the time.

* How Lexx looks to anyone outside the crew. It's a biological, insectoid PlanetBuster ship being stalked by a creepy undead assassin who periodically goes crazy and a carnivore xenomorph plant. Essentially every space horror trope rolled into one.

Added DiffLines:

* 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 [[CruelAndUnusualDeath 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. Also, that horrible, gigantic space spider will probably be enough to freak out most arachnophobes.
* [[spoiler:Zombie!Xev]] in "Twilight".
* Prince losing his temper in "Fire and Water" can be extremely jarring. "'''You are not important!'''"
* The prisoners on the crashed transport in "791" have had their hearts removed and their bodies put on life support to make sure they can't escape. The worst part? [[AndShowItToYou They're fully conscious when their hearts are removed]].
* How Lexx looks to anyone outside the crew. It's a biological, insectoid PlanetBuster ship being stalked by a creepy undead assassin who periodically goes crazy and a carnivore xenomorph plant. Essentially every space horror trope rolled into one.
