In a time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess forged in the heat of battle. The power. The passion. The danger. Her courage will change the world.

For the television show Xena: Warrior Princess, the siderunner/spinoff to Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

What's the fuss all about?

Continuity Issues Between the Series

So I'm currently going through the Young Hercules series. First off, thank goodness each episode is only around half an hour long. What amazes me is the lack of continuity amongst all three series, particularly as the producers and directors etc were often the same across Hercules, Xena and Young Hercules.

We all know the gaffs that appeared in HTLJ's "Armageddon" episodes where Callisto goes back in time to Cirra to try and save her family, except the family she wants to save is herself, and both her parents. However, we all know that in "Callisto" she refers to her mother and her sister dying in the fire caused by Xena's army - no mention of a father. Not to mention the blue eyes of the young girl who played Callisto and Hudson's brown eyes.

Also, you can't follow the YH episodes as they are listed in the dvds, as they are all over the place - thankfully we found a website which lists the order of the episodes as they should be aired for continuity. But there's still the problem across the three series.

For example, we recently watched an episode with the twins Castor and Pollax, but they're not siamese twins as they were in the later Xena episode "Punchlines". Plus apparently Castor gets killed in another episode of YH coming up - so how can he appear years later in Punchlines? According to actual Greek mythology, they were part of the Argonauts that teamed with Jason to find the golden fleece. And how come Jason ages so much between YH and HTLJ when he marries Hercules' mother?

Then there's the Bacchus episode with Eurydice and Orpheus I watched tonight. In Xena's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", which aired before the YH episode, but of course happened later in the timeline, the Bacchae were all women and hot and sexy - the YH bacchae were males and females, dressed in day-to-day clothes and at the end of that episode, Eurydice and Orpheus went off together. Would be nice to know when Eurydice got tempted back to Bacchus and died in the fight between Bacchus and Xena!

What other continuing issues have the rest of you found across the three series, or even within each season, eg. the two versions of Xena giving up Solan as a baby (Orphan of War, and Past Imperfect)?

What's stopping a sequel to XWP happening?

There's still interest in the show and a active fan base. Does NBC not just want one to happen?

Watching for the first time!

I’ve started watching Xena for the first time after it being on my watchlist for years 😅 I’ve noticed that the versions on streaming look like really bad VHS rips with pixelation on top of it. Does anyone know where to watch a higher quality version of the show or does that not exist?

Lucy & Gabrielle Q&A left me feeling sad

Anyone else feel melancholy after their Q&A? I don’t think it’s just an adrenaline comedown. Anyone else feel this way?

A Day in The Life - (art by me)

Hello lovely Xena people! Seeing as tho it’s con weekend, I wanted to show some love to the show and a particular favourite episode of mine (probably many of yours too). The show really seemed to hit its stride by ‘A Day in the Life’, and no matter how many times Xena dips in and out of my life, I always come back to this one. The reason XWP still resonates is because of Lucy and Renee, it simply would not be the same without them, the humour a heart they gave is why there are many people still gathering yearly. Finally, massive respect to Renee for taking many eels and fish to the face, what a legend. (Digital painting/sketch in procreate)

Question about "A Friend in Need Part 2" does anyone know where the opening score is from when Xena buries her weapons again?

I'm talking about the very beginning scene before Xena begins fighting she buries her weapons and armor, does anyone know the score?

It sounds like a reprise of The Warrior Princess song but im not sure

What episode does Gabrielle turn to Eli?

I feel like I just keep missing the exact episode and it's just annoying me. I know there is a specific time in season 4 where Gaby throws her staff into a river and turns to Eli/The Way of Love... Can someone please help me out with which episode it is specifically?

ETA: Thank you all! It starts with the India/Hindu episodes which maybe not have been on some of the platforms I was doing rewatches on. Currently watching on Prime and they are here! Thanks for the help!!
