Anyone who thinks "Mantrid"-- an excellent epi, introducing the wonderful
Dieter Laser as "Mantrid"-- is gross ought like totally to avoid the first
episode of the series, the setup episode, Season 1 episode 1, "I Wor****p
His Shadow", which undoubtedly sets, like, a world-record unlikely to be
challenged for some time in the number of human brains flopped around in a
single movie . . . .
(Also whole batteries of assembly-lines of human-organ packets
live-"harvested" without anesthesia from condemned criminals, a very broad
category indeed under His Divine Shadow).

The motley crew of the _Lexx_ was just trying to find somewhere to live,
except for Kai, of course, who was and is dead, of course, and, as he
would put it, "The dead do not need a place to live".
A search somewhat hindered by Mantrid's pursuit of them with his
ever-growing swarms of virus-like drones.

Stanley stands for all of us (the d00ds, anyway). Sorry.
I personally would've liked to have seen the robot-head recycled early on.
He makes Stanley look good by comparison.

It was hardly a secret or anything.
