Giggerota

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giggerota the Wicked is a character played by actress Ellen Dubin on the science fiction series Lexx.

Giggerota the Wicked is a cannibalistic female creature from the Light Zone. First seen standing trial in The Cluster for 62 counts of cannibalism, murder, and failure to perform her wifely duties (though she disputes this to be "more like 162". However in the chaos caused by the escape of Zev and Stanley H. Tweedle, she manages to escape with the aid of Thodin. After terrorizing the crew of The Lexx (and biting off Stan's hand in order to steal the Lexx) she meets her fate on Brunnis, when the sun goes supernova.

She reappears once or twice in stan's Nightmares in Season 2.

In the Season 3 episode "Girltown", Queen, ruler of the town of the title on the planet Fire, is apparently Giggerota's reincarnation, but with no memory of her previous existence. Queen turns out to be a cyborg whose living head is attached to a machine.

In Season 4 she is again reincarnated with no memory of her past lives as Florida real estate agent Genevieve G. Rota. In the episode "Stan Down" she finds herself, through a somewhat unlikely set of circumstances (possibly engineered by the scheming Isambard Prince or caused indirectly by his negative influence), elected the first female Pope. In "Apocalexx Now" she makes a Papal visit to Vietnam for a golf game with U. S. President Reginald J. Priest. When Stanley Tweedle also arrives there, she treats them both to a very different game, proving that she has lost none of her murderous tendencies, but is prevented from killing either of them in the nick of time.

Through all of her incarnations, Giggerota refers to herself in the third person. In her original, Light Zone form, she had a dress made of (probably human) skins and an enormously long tongue that she could use as a weapon. It is unknown if she was born with this tongue or had it added at some point.
