790 (Jeffrey Hirschfield) strikes a bargain with Prince (Nigel Bennett) for a body with the right equipment so that he can act out his sexual obsessions upon Kai (Michael McManus). In return he will help Prince locate the key to the LEXX. Meanwhile Stan (Brian Downey) and Xev (Xenia Seeberg) take Kai back to the surface of the Earth with the hope of finding some no place they can call home. Settling in the heart of suburban America, they are all soon captured by paranoid militia who think they are a part of a dark government agenda.

All four season four episodes are presented uncut with scenes never before broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel. The picture quality is for the most part outstanding with only a few scenes displaying any sort of video noise. Otherwise these episodes are quite vibrant with lush colors to match the saucy and outrageous storylines. All four episodes are presented in their original (1.33:1) broadcast aspect ratio. The English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Soundtrack is full with an ambient quality and a discrete feel. An English Dolby Stereo Soundtrack listening option is also included.

The extra features for this volume are somewhat slip and are basically made up of several galleries. There are three short CGI composite still demonstrations, a few production design sketches, a gallery of behind-the-scenes production photos as well as a storyboard to scene comparison (1:54) from the fourth episode on this disc entitled “Morse.”

The main menu features a full motion scene from the episode “Morse” with an animated transition scene from that episode to subsequent standard interactive still frame menus that are easy to navigate.

“LEXX: Series 4: Video Set 4: Original Uncut Version” will debut on DVD-Video at retailers on and offline on Tuesday, September 23, 2003 from Acorn Media.
