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.
Wait who was she in bsg?
I watched that in the hospital. BIG MISTAKE. Season number last is enough of a mindfuck on its own. Damn thing gave me hospital psychosis.
She’s one of the human Cylon models. I forget which number.
She’s number Three. But she’s known as her alias in the series D’Anna
Well now I’m gonna rewatch and expect some ayiyiyis from the cylons
I always do, that’s for sure lol
Might want to put a spoiler tag on there.
The show has been over for 20 years.
Yeah, but you’re answering someone who asked a question about the show who may not have watched it yet, and has an interest in watching it.
I answered a direct question. Don’t ask a question if you don’t want the answer.
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.
Andromeda was fun enough until they decided to make kevin sorbo space jesus
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.
And “Ash vs Evil Dead”, she was super in that one, too.
Since the series is leaving Ash behind, I would have guessed she’d be the new main character
She had multiple outfits to match whatever area she was in.
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”
She’s so slim in this picture. In my memory of the show she is like a strong body builder body type like the female version of Kevin Sorbo’s Hercules. Weird how wrong such a clear memory can be!
Looking at her standard outfit I think they use a few tricks to present that image: cuffs around the biceps, shoulder thingies (there more like epaulettes than pauldrons), and bracers all either hid the thinner parts or made them look larger.
That’s interesting. I never would have thought to look at the clothes like that.
This is also an earlier picture. She deffo put on muscle as the series went on. Compare:
it’s because she projects power
It’s that jawline. It. Just. Doesn’t. Quit.
facts
SORBO was so jealous of her, he became a looney right winger after his strokes. he even fucked up his own show on andromeda.
the takeover of Andromeda was really-really stupid.
he tried to make trance to be more slutty for some reason. while shes a useful OP character in the show.
one of many questionable decisions that tanked the show. it started off well and then just kept falling off a cliff
DISAPPOINTED!!
oh
Goddamn
yeah
It is a god damn crime that we never got Lucy Lawless as Wonder Woman. She would have absolutely killed it if the superhero boom came about 20 years earlier.
Xena style Wonder Woman series would’ve been peak
I have good news:
i’ve been meaning to check out Absolute line for a while and it seems like i’m finally going to do it. Is it good or really good?
I quite enjoyed it. Lots of mythology
It’s on Hoopla too
Here in Greece, the series along with Hercules used to play every evening at 2-3 o’clock when I was a kid. She is well known.
same in Ukraine.
I love Lucy, she’s the best.
facts
It’s been so long, I don’t remember she had a fucking katana.
Looks like a normal katana to me but what do I know.
Same… just that frisbee disk
chakram, is a indian weapon, naturally she an indian story arc going on, indian had some good lores too.
i might remember it wrong but i think it was from the latter part of the show when they started to branch out into different cultures more.
That was such a good show at the time.
except for that weird batch of episode when they died and then came back.
before sorbo ran off the og showrunner and took it over. since it was created gene Roddenberry.
I never realized how much of a smoke show she was/is when I was younger. She’s still great in the most recent stuff I’ve seen her on. Great counterpart to Ron on Parks and Rec and also great on Curb when she briefly dated Larry. Does the Xena show still hold up?
She was actually smoking hot in both Spartacus and Ash vs The Evil Dead. I think she even looked better older than younger, dressed as Xena.
i was shocked to see her in X Files when i was doing a rewatch. She was, quite aptly, a superhuman terminator.
Were you blind as a child? I was 9 in 1995 and knew it. She has several topless scenes in Spartacus, which is a legitimately fun show.
My brother, I was 22 in 1005. Xena was nice eye candy, but redheads really eo it for me, so I was all about Gabrielle.
Bro you old as fuck
I prefer to think of it as “experienced.”
ETA: 1005, lol! Bro, my typos are out of control today!
Can I tell you something, Jerry? It’s all crap on TV. The only thing I watch is Xena, the Warrior Princess. She must be about six-six.
As Patton Oswalt said: “Two moon faced lesbians beating people with a stick? I can’t tell ya how many times I conjugated the verb to that show.”
You can’t create a show with that much skin and ridiculously good-looking people, and not crack a few eggs.
I was more of a Gabrielle guy.
Por que no los dos?
Now you’re talkin’.
That’s the real fantasy
Not only my first crush, but what made me realize I’m attracted to dark-haired women who might kill me.
