How did I miss this whole Xena thing? Maybe they will put it all out on DVDs sometime ;)

Christie Keith

Tell me you're joking.

Travis

KT, KT, KT,

tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.

They ARE out on DVD. Netflix has them. :) Take a week off work, grab some popcorn in one hand, Christie's soul sister in the other, and have a rockin' good time. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and everything in between.

ooogyfan2

You win, you win!

The lesbians had love without (overt) sex, the gay men had sex without (stated) love.

And I put Xena on my Netflix queue. This could be trouble.

KT

Ummm. Not joking ;) Limited capacity for television. At the time I was oogling Gillian Anderson's Scully. And when I got around to a few syndicated eps of Xena, I must have hit on some bad examples ... either the mythology was so far off that it irritated me, or Gabrielle was flirting with some guy. Lost interest ...

I can see that finally I will have to get a Netflix account! I like Travis' idea ;)

KT

Btw, as I was driving into the office ... I remembered two old AOL screen names from when Christie and I first knew each other ... Xena and Foxx ... should sort of give a good clue of where we were, respectively ;)

Though the scarier part of that, to me, is that it was a decade ago ...

Christie Keith

Sounds like time to try the State of Denial again. A DECADE? Jeesh.

Sighthound Ma

How long DID it take Xena to tell Gabrielle that she loved her?

Christie Keith

Xena told Gabrielle in the third season, although Gabrielle had said it to her before that, yet another parallel with B and J - J said it in the FIRST season, though, but that's because he was young and stupid. It took him a while to figure his man out.

Sighthound Ma, who ARE you? You don't include your email address and it's driving me nuts trying to figure out your secret identity. Email me if you don't want to post it here. Or if you prefer to remain mysterious and anonymous, I can live with that. Sort of.

Christie Keith

:::: ... either the mythology was so far off that it irritated me, or Gabrielle was flirting with some guy. Lost interest ... ::::

The mythology wasn't "far off," it was so far off the charts it may as well have been the mythology of another planet. Same with history: This show had Julius Ceasar and Alexander the Great as contemporaries.

We called it the Xenaverse and just accepted it and went on.

As to Gaby flirting with men, yes, but the GOOD thing is that every time Gabrielle was interested in a man, he died. It was a running joke on the show.

Someone did comment to Xena once that "Ceasar only dreams you could look at him like that," referring to how she was looking at Gabrielle. Sigh.

OH GOD, I really AM a closet romantic! Only in the Xenaverse.

KT

State of Denial. I could live there, I think ;)

ROFLMAO ... you are just now discovering that you are a closet romantic? Ummm ... girlfriend ... you are, and there is no such thing as "only in the Xenaverse"!

I guess I have to give Xena a try afterall ...

Sighthound Ma

I'll tell you my identity in five years after a bomb.

Or maybe it will take only three. We'll see.

Christie Keith

That's just mean.
