Xena: Warrior Princess

I never said that it "bothered" me. I just thought it was amusing that Lucy Lawless could not see what was right in front of her but perhaps that IS the reason. She was too close to realize. Early on she may have thought of Xena and Gabrielle's relationship as that of an older sister/ younger sister, mentor/student, even mother and daughter. I will admit that I did not really see it the first time around until the later seasons but this time (several years later) it just seems so instantly obvious to me that it was more than that. In the time since the series ended I suppose I have become "desensitized". This was a "groundbreaking " show in several areas and many others probably have it to thank for that.
I know different cultures have their own lines regarding affection and physicality between the sexes. I do wonder how much Xena taking place for the most part in Greece had in the writing of the series regarding the two female leads. The Sappho episode was the most blatant "tip-off" for anyone who hadn't realized yet (Lucy) but it was one of the last episodes.   See 9 other replies

I tell you, I am one who will never thing "gay" at the first option for anything, be it a person or in this case, a story. I'll never forget how shocked I was when for the first time I saw 2 middle eastern male friends holding hands at a friend's engagement party. Not knowing their culture (one of them was my friend's fiancé), I was wondering what was happening, 2 guys sitting at a sofa holding hands!
Maybe Lucy never read that into the part and kept it that way in her mind. I don’t think I stuck with the series all the way to the end, back in its original run, but I did suspect something like that, but did not bother me at all.   See 9 other replies

I doubt that I would lose my morals or values for eight dollars, which I am gladly paying now although not for this show. I did not remember how bad it was and Lucy Lawless saying now that she did not realize that Xena and Gabrielle were gay until the last episode just slays me ! The signs were there in the first episode and it was obvious very early into the first season. I think Gabrielle knew first but it didn't take long for Xena to catch on. Lucy Clueless is more like it.   See 9 other replies

Hulu is like a cocaine dealer, or whatever drug works that way. They first give it to you for free and then we're addicted, they pull the plug and you have to pay and if you don't have money, you turn to crime or prostitution to get your fix. No different, Mr. Hulu, Mr. Dealer.   See 9 other replies

They are both here now. We just watched "Lyre Lyre Hearts Afire". I wonder if it was as much fun to film as it was to watch. Jace is a scream and Gabrielle -----well, I've never seen fringe put to such good use !   See 3 other replies

That isn't very nice. I would never think to say that to anyone.   See 9 other replies
