    Xena quickly became way better than Hercules. The characters were just more interesting. Her outfit looks vaguely Japanese, but I never saw that season. It was hard to keep a steady watching schedule as a kid. I should go back and rewatch this! I hope it’s not just nostalgia.

    She also did a great job on Battlestar Galactica and Spartacus. And Parks and Rec! I’m glad she’s the one that got more exposure instead of Kevin Sorbo. He chewed a lot of scenery in Hercules, and being a MAGA asshat didn’t endear him to his old fans.

      Battlestar Galactica! I was just thinking about how I loved her in another show and that was the one.

      Kevin Sorbo is technically in many, many more movies… terrible Christian movies that no one heard of. Lol

      Glad Lucy Lawless ended up being fairly normal.

      Hercules series started off strong (the tv movies and season 1) and then kinda stuck in its ways and never really went anywhere. You get villain of the week, wham bam, thank you, next. In contrast, Xena had depth and they had all these storylines running throughout the show - it rewarded long time viewers a lot.

      The katana thing is from the latter seasons when the show went beyond their basic cultural template.

      her weapon,chakram is indian, make sense she would have indian arc in the show, plus her last episode was in japan. the only thing that dint do justice was the angel/christian arc. needed more dehak exposure, as he was the opposite of “god”
