I Worship His Shadow

I Worship His Shadow is the first movie of first season of Lexx.

Plot
This movie/episode is the one that started it all. Its starts out being narrated by Kai, the last Brunnen-G and he states that Time Prophet predicted that he would be the one to destroy the Divine Order and the League of 20,000 Planets; he also states that it is the day of his death.

Then you hear the ancient Brunnen-G chant as you see bug like crafts fly by on the screen coming form Brunnis-2, Kai’s home planet. It then becomes obvious that Brunnis-2 is being attracted by His Divine Shadow’s currently most powerful ship, the Foreshadow. Kai then orders the fighters to attack the ships control pod. As Kai sees his home planet be destroyed beyond repair, he and the rest of the fighters try to crash into the control pod and he is the only one that succeeds.

As Kai laid there on the floor of the control pod, His Divine Shadow walks up to him, telling Kai that he is the last of the Brunnen-G and that the prophecy is wrong. Then His Divine Shadow pulls out a dagger and thrusts into Kai’s chest, killing him, then puts his hands over Kai’s body and retrieves Kai’s essence. Then one of the men onboard suggested that Kai’s now dead body be incinerated but His Divine Shadow then ordered Kai’s body to be transported to the Bio-scholars to be turned into an undead assassin for The Divine Order.

2008 years later, on The Cluster, we see Stanley H. Tweedle sleeping in a coffin sized metal box, subsequently there are rows and rows of these sleeping quarters stacked on top of one another. As Stanley lay there asleep, a video recording (full of subliminal messages) plays. As the message fades a face like avatar comes onto the screen as an alarm clock. The avatar notifies if Stanley is late he will get 7 more demerits on top of his 991 demerits (thus showing some level of his incompetence). He gets dressed and heads to his work station.

In the next scene, we witness pilots of a prisoner transport getting revived from cryogenic sleep. They check on the prisoners as they head to the back of the transport where Thodin (leader of the Austral-B Heretics) is being held in a small pod. With number 11 being freeze dried again, they continue on where they look at Giggerota, who dryly spits at the pilot, and finally they stop at Zev. With Zev being overweight and hideously ugly, the pilot mentions that she is by far the ugliest woman he had ever seen. Zev being Zev talks back with a sly remark, and gets a small shock treatment for her punishment for the outburst.
