Ep 2. May

In Lexx Season 3 Episode 2 titled May, we find the crew of the Lexx in dire straits once again. The episode kicks off with Stanley Tweedle (Brian Downey) and Xev Bellringer (Xenia Seeberg) desperately seeking a way to replenish their food supplies. They come across a planet that appears to be inhabited by a race that has enough food to feed them, but things aren't always as they seem.

The planet is ruled by May, a woman who seems friendly at first but is actually more than meets the eye. May is played by cult favorite actress Ellen Dubin, who gives a standout performance as the mysterious leader of this strange planet. May is a powerful figure who offers to help the crew of the Lexx, but at a cost.

Her offer seems too good to be true, and rightfully so. Once the crew accepts her help, they are subjected to a series of strange, and often terrifying, tasks that ultimately uncover May's true identity and intentions. The episode is filled with suspenseful moments, and the stakes are high for the crew of the Lexx as they try to survive in a hostile environment.

The episode is also notable for revisiting a recurring theme in the Lexx universe - the idea of humans being manipulated by powerful beings for their own gain. This theme is explored in significant detail in May, as the crew of the Lexx must contend with May's strange, often dangerous demands.

May also features some standout performances from the main cast. In particular, Brian Downey delivers a strong performance as Stanley Tweedle, who is forced to confront his own limitations and fears in order to save his companions. Similarly, Xenia Seeberg shines as Xev, who is faced with impossible choices that will affect the course of their journey.

Overall, May is an exciting and thrilling episode of Lexx that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat. The episode is a great showcase for the show's unique combination of dark humor and serious, often surreal, storytelling. Fans of the show will not be disappointed, but newcomers may want to start with earlier episodes to get a better sense of the show's backstory and recurring themes.
