i wish i could telepathically communicate to all the young gays that watching Xena is worth it even with our much higher standards today for lgbt characters in media. the cast crew writers and showrunners never panicked when they discovered that their characters were driven by romantic love and were pulled back only by the network to prevent it from becoming textual. by season 4 they established them as souls in love reincarnated together forever and never tried in earnest to pair them with men. by the end of season 5 they stopped that altogether. by season 6, it is as explicit as they were able to make it given the restraints at the time, and they did so much to signal to queer audiences that Xena and Gabrielle were one of us. like Xena presenting Gabrielle, a lover of written word, with a poem by Sappho as a gift (and becoming adorably shy and blushing as she reads it).

there is so much joy in seeing just how effectively they were able to convey the romantic nature of their love and companionship despite the opposition. physical attraction is clear in the s6 episodes "Who's Gurkhan" and "When Fates Collide". "When Fates Collide" and "Return of the Valkyrie" are so dizzyingly and overtly romantic that i still can't believe they pulled it off. when viewed in its full context it is really an epic and beautiful love story. :)

I will sacrifice myself to save everyone// I will sacrifice anyone to save you

I wouldn't marry me either // i would marry you with paper rings

I would kill everyone for you // I would die for you

In the end we will all be judged by the courage of our hearts // I am brave enought to be with you

Together? // Always

i'd die for you // You did

So here is the idea. A Xena reboot but there is a twist. The pilot starts and it's Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor having a cute lunch date in present time. Suddenly they start reminiscing about the good old days and bham. The entire first episode of Xena starts airing. And that's the entire concept of the the reboot. Every episode opens up with an immortal married Xena and Gabrielle in present time doing cute couple things for two minutes as an excuse to remember something and we just go straight to airing an old Xena episode. Completely unchanged except for one thing. Kevin Sorbo is digitally removed from all episodes and replaced with Charlize Theron

I officially finished xena. I didn't see that ending coming. My sister and I had this inside joke where she would say "I think Xena is going to die" and I would say "oh no :(" and it wouldn't happen. This time it really happened lol.

Although we enjoyed the series, there were a few things that weren't really our type and we still found ourselves crying at the end, like ugly crying and I alway try not to cry in front of anyone.

They have a special place in my heart. They really did it for the fans, for the gays.

There is no other series like Xena. An epic lesbian love story, with a badass complex and questionable protagonist. Lucy and Renée dedicated themselves completely to their girls and I think that's so rare to see in a show now.

Xena costuming, never not bomb

The one thing i got from watching xena the warrior princess as a child apart from getting hit by the queer beam was a horrible fear that i would one day accidentally press the wrong muscle in my neck and choke

The best thing about Xena is that ALL the AUs are already canon and not, in fact, AUs.

You want a modern day AU where Gabrielle and Xena are reincarnated and get together? There’s a canon episode for that

Cowboy AU? Heist AU? Vampire AU? Battle of the Bands AU? Whodunnit Murder Mystery AU? Never became a warrior AU? Pirate AU? Prison AU?

How about some more niche ones as well?

Miss Congeniality AU? Arthurian legend AU? Footloose AU? The Producers AU? Angel and Demon romance AU? An Indiana Jones AU where Gabrielle is a whip wielding, treasure hunter and Xena is a sexy archaologist?
