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 inThe Cluster for 62 counts ofcannibalism ,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 andStanley H. Tweedle , she manages to escape with the aid ofThodin . After terrorizing the crew ofThe Lexx (and biting off Stan's hand in order to steal the Lexx) she meets her fate on Brunnis, when the sun goessupernova .She reappears once or twice in Stan's
Nightmare s 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 acyborg whose living head is attached to a machine. Her status on Fire is of a balloon creator, tools needed for the wars between the rulers of this planet between themselves and together, against Water. Her position seems stable, supplying balloons for both sides, but craving more, stating at one time "When will be Queen's time?". It is apparent, though, that she is stopped from this by something, the obvious problem being her followers were all women and they lacked the strength to overcome the other "rulers" on the planet.After catching Stanley and realizing it was his "first life", she accepts the decision of her council to have him killed, but ambiguously claims "she just wants his body". Stanley, in desperation for his life, is ready to accept satisfying Queen's sexual desires, only to discover she needs his body detached from his head, in order to use it as her own. She is stopped close to the beheading by Kai, but is actually killed by one of the men her matriarchy had held captive until then, through raising the temperature from the tub she resided to boiling point.
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 schemingIsambard Prince or caused indirectly by his negative influence), elected the first femalePope . In "Apocalexx Now" she makes a Papal visit toVietnam for agolf game with U. S. PresidentReginald 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. As she resigned in getting anything out of any of them, she meetsLyekka , with whom she starts a conversation about her dreams having eaten people, probably memories from her old life in theLight Zone . Lyekka takes interest in this discussion and walks with her to a more secluded place, after which the Lexx crew hear her screams as she is eaten by Lyekka.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 skins and an enormously long tongue that she could use as a weapon.
