I've been trying for so long to go to California for this convention and I finally got tickets for me and my girlfriend for Sunday! I got the Lucy and Renee photo op and autograph from Renee (Lucy was sold out unfortunately). I'm really excited, being a long time fan and this being my first time there and in LA, does anyone have any advice or tips for my trip?

I'm rewatching Xena, I'm on the last season, and I get it; they have to bring back all the characters for one last 'hurrah.' But boy, oh boy, Alti has always been my least favorite villain; on one level, she's just annoying because she keeps coming back, but on a deeper level, she disgusts me for some reason, lol. The whole Shaman storyline grossed me out. I hated the blood on the forehead, lol, and just seeing Alti reminds me of all that; she/it is gross. I also didn't like how Xena looked or acted (I know it was her younger self and everything but still, the clothing as just too oversized and looked very heavy)

What do you guys think of Alti, I never watched the show when it was out, so was she a fan favorite or something? I don't get her appeal.

Just overall, I skip over that story arc in general. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

I watched it back in the day and remember hating the everloving fuck out of the series finale. A while ago, I watched her first two appearances on Hercules but have been hesitant to continue. Is the journey worth it? Should I just stop before the series finale?

I had a dream last night Gabrielle was in modern day (she had her long hair) and she was wondering where xena was and then she turned around and it was the clones and then I woke up 😅

Hello, I didn't see anything about asking in the rules, so. I know a complete set of the coins in the holder sold a little while back, but now I can't find it. Any ideas?

For example; Xena invented the kite in "A Day in the Life"

Salmoneus invtented the game Bingo in HTLJ episode "Under the Broken Sky"

Iolaus II (from the Strange World) invented Waffles, glasses

​

Laboratorium Pieśni singing Sztoj pa moru. It just screams the vibe of the show to me.

If u guys are looking for a good show check out black scorpion it kinda feels like a mix of xena and kamen/masked rider if toku is your thing anyway

I'm watching the show on Prime and those faces are so blurry for the first time in forever I wanted glasses to make that shit go away. Where did you new Xena fans watched your show at?

This will probably be my final post since I finished the show so I'm posting all the notes and questions more out of simple curiosity these aren't criticisms, I've compiled throughout my viewing into one post:

S2e14: if Callisto got trapped in the lava as a god then how did she get freed in the temple by hope later on

S2e16: I’m glad Hercules rubs off on Aphrodite and she becomes a kinder and more mellow and more selfless less vain later on

S3e1: 34:10

So xena is hercules’s niece

I always had my suspicions that ares was her dad but never 100% sure

Explains why she was immortal

So when xena said she got over hercules that’s probably why

S3e3: 36:07 did Gabrielle forget she’s queen I know ephiny fills in as substitute queen while she’s gone but that should still make Gabrielle queen right?

S3e4: 42:34 yea Gabrielle technically killed someone but it was in self defense and she was tricked therefore it doesn’t count

S3e4: ares: like us or hate us we aren’t evil

Me: except u ares As well as Daimos strife discord who encourage harming innocents

S3e9: another xena look alike lmao u could put all what is it like 6 together and make a superhero team

Is it coincidence or are they related

S3e11 hope is still a kid how did she know about callisto or even who her parents are she wouldn’t be old enough to remember

S3e7 how did Gabrielle get there before xena also dang better by Gabrielle twice that’s fcked

S3e7: Lao Ma seems like a really awesome person

It’s unfortunate xena never truly absorbed what she was taught until hercules got through to her later on

Her love couldn’t get her to change her ways but a stranger like hercules could Very interesting ofc I know it wasn’t him alone but his influence was the final straw

S3e7: oh so xena learned her acrobatics from Lao Ma not M’Lila

S3e7: 42:20 surprised she lied to Gabrielle

Her killing him kinda made it seem like she didn’t learn anything

But idk prob just self defense

S3e7 so xena is an air bender now surprised she doesn’t use that power outside of this episode

Joxer and salmonius are some of my favorite characters their goofiness is endearing and very funny

Ares is pretty chill when he’s not being an evil asshat

S3e14: Gabrielle is projecting she still feels betrayed by hope and that she failed trying to redeem her and she’s projecting that onto tara even tho tara isn’t hope

S3e17: don’t remember hercules ever being evil he’s been possessed and mind controlled and brainwashed ig that’s what he meant

Also going back to the earlier seasons is there two Troys because isn’t deineira from Hercules and the lost city queen of Troy Maybe there’s two troys

S3e21 if I recall hope freed Callisto on Hercules before this so how is she resurrected

What would Callisto be

Goddess of Combat Goddess of Insanity Oh Goddess of Vengeance that’s a good one

S3e21 the fates with ares act differently than the fates that appeared early on in the series

S4e1: why does she gotta go through all that for the Amazon underworld can’t she just ask Artemis the Amazon goddess

S4e1: anokin’s death must be how she got her spare women and children code from

S4e1: I thought all Amazons were Greek didn’t know that they could be any culture does that meet each Amazon from different countries has their own god or do they all worship Artemis ?

Wonder why joxer never asked xena or Gabrielle’s amazons or hercules to train him

S4e2 so Russian amazons have massages

Greek amazons always seem to be on edge and in combat mode 24/7

S4e3 when Gabrielle and xena turned on each other she went to the amazons and when she almost died she went to her parents ig wherever she goes depends maybe she visit d the amazons first idk

S4e3 I know hope and her kid are super evil but seeing them die together was kinda sad maybe just me

S4e4 Argo is probably trying to punish xena probably thought xena abandoned her

Xena met Argo after she turned good I think when she was evil on Hercules I don’t think she had Argo

11:15 s4e6: toilets in Ancient Greece should not have flushing

Someone goofed up lol

S4e9: the symbol on the shields in xena’s vision look like the symbols hope and her followers used maybe just me

S4e9: so dagnine and satrina killed borias? Xena always said she did If she blamed herself for his death

When Dahak possessed iolas in Hercules s5 he never mentioned his daughter pretty crazy he forgot about her already

S4e15 0:52 it was you when u first met Caesar

S4e18: wonder why xena didn’t keep her mehndi markings on. Wonder if Gabrielle can still use the powers or does she just keep it as a reminder

Didn’t expect her to keep it on thought she would put it back on only when she needs it but good for her

S4e18: Gabrielle may have kept her going but Hercules was the first one to inspire her to change

Was that retconned? Cuz they do make it seem like it was Gabrielle the entire time

S4e16: hope Gabrielle still writes she hasn’t mentioned her scrolls in awhile

S4e16: could have kept it as a walking stick or returned it to the amazons or given it to xena or joxer but ok fair enough

S4e17: 16:14 ig her path of non violence doesn’t apply to joxer

S4e19: 16:07 joxer got offended that’s a clue maybe he did it

S4e19: 34:55 it was probably discord she could have been in and out without anyone knowing and now she’s just messing with them definitely her thing

Also wasn’t she the goddess of chaos on Hercules when did she change positions

S4e22: how did joxer reincarnate if he didn’t go on the journey to India with xena and Gabrielle

S4e22: The thought of joxer and xena being together is really funny even if it didn’t last

Could have went toe easy route and made Annie xena but Annie being joxer is way funnier

Lucy embodied joxer pretty well

Ig xena being Harry they found a way for them to have kids together ig

I do wonder if Harry is both xena and joxer’s descendant idk tho

So does that mean Mel in the 40s episode was also a reincarnation of xena or did she get to have a bloodline and be reincarnated

Does that make xena and joxer canonically trans then?

Wait since there’s 2 more seasons left she probably does get reincarnated later in her life

So was Annie xena’s biological descendant but she had joxer’s spirit and vice versa for Harry

Pretty amusing image

Does that mean Gabrielle ended up with both xena and joxer’s descendant in one body lol

Does that mean Gabrielle and xena’s families and friends were also reincarnated?

How did joxer learn to embrace reincarnation?

Gabrielle and xena ig are endgame only took them a few centuries

Talk about a slow burn lmao 😅

So many questions

Ig xena and Gabrielle are like hawkman and hawk girl

S5e1: when did Gabrielle mention having a brother

S5e2: her head memory maybe gone but muscle memory is always there if u train her maybe it’ll come back 14:19

S5e2: 19:47 shouldn’t mars be the Roman god of war

S5e2: if they’re getting the chakram of light then is the og one the dark chakram cuz are and kal Mentioned a dark chakram

Seems like the show kinda merged all the afterlives together and anyone can go anywhere depending on the situation

S5e2: kinda miss Gabrielle’s staff hope she gets it back

S5e3 mavikan seems like if xena and Callisto were one person

S5e4 always wondered if Gabrielle would ever get a horse of her own

How is xena pregnant that doesn’t make sense when was the last time she got laid I think hercules was the last man she was intimate with

She got close with ares a few episodes ago but Gabrielle interrupted before things escalated unless something happened offscreen

Now that she’s good maybe she will keep the kid this time or drop him or her off with her mom

S5e5 I just noticed xena got new armor

Ig Gabrielle’s tribe taking amarice in doesn’t count as making her an amazon

Wait if xena has a new chakram then how was it the old one in the 40s episode maybe it changes back at some point

S5e9 when ares killed eli he made him a martyr which in turn immortalized him and his message

S5e9: so xena is gonna be Callisto’s mom

That’s both wholesome and hilarious in irony

Also sooo Callisto is the father? Not something i expected

I have no idea how that works genetically but it’s hella interesting

Like is the baby 100% xena or 50% Callisto

Will the baby be full mortal or half angel?

Callisto is the father and the child sort of like the immortal jellyfish or something

Also I knew it it was a dahak type thing In A way

(S5e3 mavikan seems like if xena and Callisto were one person) I think I predicted this lmao

S5e10 joxer sees Jace the way his family sees him he’s projecting his own insecurities onto his brother what he says about Jace is probably what he thinks about himself

S5e10: 37:31 rap wouldnt have been invented yet technically

S5e12: for the original Zeus actor he always seemed like a kind old man I never got why herc hated him but with the other actors they definitely play up the asshole aspects a lot more

S5e12 Hera: if I could do something about your family I would

Ur the queen or the gods u can bring them back easy or make hades do it

0:43 s5e14 she was nerdier on hercules

If Eve ever gets her Callisto memories let’s hope it’s not the bad ones or maybe those were all washed away when she reincarnated

So Eve ig is her own father

S5e13: someone should tell them that Eve isn’t godless she was blessed by god

Why doesn’t xena just leave Greece it would probably get her off the gods radar

At least Aphrodite and discord aren’t going after Eve they’re too distracted going after each other

S5e16: what happened to otere wasn’t she queen

Is samsara an ancestor of ephiny or is the resemblance a coincidence

39:18 how is excluding men honoring them? Ig it’s a way of saying they can’t be replaced

Ig now Gabrielle has been queen of two tribes

I liked amarice didn’t want her to die she will be missed

S5e20: Callisto reincarnated hoping for a second chance only to be evil again damn that’s unfortunate luck

S5e21 33:11 this feels like hope all over again

S6e1: when gods die do they have their own afterlife or do they go to the same one as mortals

They seemed a lot more chill on Hercules maybe it was cuz of the campier nature of the show compared to xena’s more serious one idk

With hades gone what happens to tartarus and the Elysian Fields do those souls get transferred

Shame Gabrielle’s horse died before we ever learned his name

S6e4: 15:46 that’s definitely joxer’s kid alright 😅

S6e3: I knew that was lucifer he gave me a vibe

Did Eve become the messenger because she was baptized or because Eli saved her or because she’s half angel

S6e5: 6:20 always wondered when xena catches the chakram how does she not cut her own fingers when she grabs the sharp part

Battling bard has a nice ring to it good to see her getting recognition

S6e5: 38:51 back to using a staff again it just feels right

S6e6: where did Eve go I thought she was gonna travel with them permanently maybe she decided to stay and help in amphipoles

After joxer died Virgil said Meg went to stay with relatives I thought I remember her saying she didn’t have any family

Whatever happened to beowulf growing up that was considered a really well known and iconic story and now no one talks about it anymore almost like it was lost and forgotten to time and history

S6e6: why didn’t she just use the other side like usual and knock him out 38:10

S6e8 28:20 he’s not the same Odin we saw in Hercules who had honor and loved his family

S6e9 3:19 can brunhilda change back or is she stuck like that

This is kind of like what happened with Gabrielle as crustacea

They refer to each other as soul mates but is it in a platonic way they don’t get together until the future in their reincarnated bodies in the therapy office

S6e10: hold up is this episode out of order or did she cut her hair again cuz it grew back last episode

Ig she chose to recut it again maybe she prefers the short hair idk

5:08 haven’t worse words been said uncensored

S6e12: 5:15 I thought Eli was supposed to be an angel? Is he supposed to be god in that universe that’s how Eve made it sound but there is only one god

Elijans? I always assumed Eli was forming Christianity or something

I thought Aphrodite was one of the good ones did losing her family harden her heart idk despite her siding against them

Nvm or she’s brainwashed

12:39 s6e12 ares and Aphrodite aren’t on screen together much it’s kinda weird seeing him be a protective brother when he usually doesn’t give a damn about his siblings

Hasn’t ares lost his powers before without anything happening to Aphrodite

Eli is against violence unless it’s about killing the olympians isn’t that hypocritical

S6e14: did Octavius die

Eve is an Amazon too she was initiated surprised xena hasn’t mentioned it

Amazons taking orders from a man kinda goes against their ways

S6e16 with the real xena and Gabrielle’s reincarnated spirits in other bodies ig there will be two xena and gabrielles

Wasn’t alti’s soul destroyed

28:13 xena was reincarnated too so she’s still out there helping people even if it’s in a new body

S6e13: is this a modern day episode because his clothes and microphone and studio set and camera are too modern maybe he was sent back in time

Velasca? How’s she dead didn’t xena trap her in lava she couldn’t die she was a god unless xena went back for her after being a god slayer

S6e15: glad she’s finally recognized as queen there was a few times where even tho she was queen she still called herself princess

Did they forget about Gabrielle’s first tribe how come they aren’t part of this or is it not the same without ephiny so they just stayed away

Is eli supposed to be the Abrahamic god? Didn’t this show have hints of his existence way before eli like the Jesus reference or whatever

S6e15: 41:30 which was something she feared would happen before she killed so she should probably go back to not killing

S6e20: Annie maybe a reincarnation of joxer but biologically she still could be a descendant of xena

I never noticed that missing time

Although she did say she woke up in a hospice and I always wondered how she got there ig we will find out

Neither of them ever mentioned a wedding

Knowing ares that seems like something he would remind xena about constantly

Is that why he kept bugging her for an heir

34:05 her next life? Reincarnation wasn’t a thing at that point in the show yet

Also someone should probably tell them about their clones

38:47 the other way was funnier and subverted expectations but this version makes more sense

Wonder if Eve or joxer’s kids ever reincarnated to present day

I mean since Eve is Callisto maybe she got multiple chances

Would be sad if xena still being alive in present day but her family is left behind

At least in her reincarnated body she gets her blood innocence back

S6e17 5:04 Kinda odd how some characters are recognized as canonical lookalikes by other characters but other times when characters are played by the same actor it’s never noticed

Will Eve ever get her Callisto memories back

If she has Callisto’s spirit does she still have her own too or no?

Like if Eve dies does Callisto get all of eve’s memories or are there two spirits in her

Why does Caesar go to Tartarus is there not a Roman equivalent s6e18

S6e19 xena has issue with people devoting themselves to gods too much but she is fine with Eli’s followers it’s not really that different

S6e21: 25:20 if Gabrielle really wants to learn the pinch why doesn’t she just ask xena isn’t a mind reader 😅

If evil xena time traveled to the future and fought good xena who would win that would have been a cool battle to do

Pretty sure xena has already tried to teach Gabrielle before when she put the pinch on herself

Ig Gabrielle’s henna in India was foreshadowing for her Japanese tattoo 😅

Is xena and Gabrielle’s relationship queerbaiting? Cuz they keep saying they’re soulmates but they have never kissed or slept together

Unless honeymoon as reincarnated souls counts

In that case they took 2000 years 😅

S6e22: Also spirit slayer sounds better than ghost killer maybe it’s the alliteration

38:17 woah the chakram works for Gabrielle now

42:06 damn what an ending 😭

There should be a spin off show set during the 25 years xena and Gabrielle were frozen

Xena will never say this but I think she likes having ares around as an adversary it keeps things interesting if she had killed him she probably would have got bored

It's sort of why Batman never kills joker other than his code

Also the other two shows got movies I wonder why xena never got a movie

is the animated movie canon? i dont think its ever been referenced in the show

Also ares's laugh gets me every time

I still think a young xena shoe could work there's still a lot of gaps in her past and childhood the show doesn't bring up
