XENA THE WARRIOR PRINCESS

FLIST! How many of you have seen Xena: the Warrior Princess? I remember watching a couple episodes when I was a kid and being impressed by her badass-ery, but that was it until recently.

I watched the first 4 episodes yesterday, and OMG. I AM IN LOVE. IT IS SO CAMPY AND AMAZING. Xena is badass and hot and Gabrielle is funny and also hot. It has RIDICULOUS FIGHTSCENES where Xena kills like 5 guys with one throw of her magical sentient Frisbee. Xena can stop swords with her motherfucking BARE HANDS, because she is that much cooler than you.

She has a TORTURED PAST and is trying to be good now but everyone thinks she is still evil!warrior!Xena but in reality she is good!warrior!Xena, new and improved and still hot.

I love her outfit and I love the horses (yay horses \o/) and I love the Xena/Gabrielle scenes. Gabrielle! I love Gabrielle. At first I thought she was annoying but then I realized that no, she is just talkative and cute and compliments Xena's smirkyness perfectly.

She and Gabrielle ride around and fight crime and stuff and stuff. It's amazing, okay. I loooooooove it. The ridiculousness makes me lol a lot, but in a good way. It's fun! I wish I had someone to watch with me, but I don't know cool people irl. :(

YES OMG I LOVED THAT SHOW SO MUCH WHEN I WAS A KID. I would srsly record it every week on little labeled VHS tapes and watch it over and over again with my little sister. If I'd been a couple of years older, I would totally have got into fandom for it. Xena/Gabrielle was an awesome femslash ship and Xena/Ares was the first super unhealthy ship that I absolutely loved. I rewatched it all a few months ago and I still love the ridiculousness of it all, cheesy 90s special effects included. XD

so yeah, I am super on board with Xena!squee and will not judge you for your love of enjoyably terrible TV shows. :DDD

Oh crap, you just made me want to watch this!! I remember seeing a few episodes back in the day, and like you I just thought she was badass, and that it was a cool show to have on tv, and never really thought much about it.

But it came to my attention recently that Karl Urban is in at least a few shows, as Cupid, and have been curious to see it since.

Now, I really really need this in my life!

OMG XENA HAD A GROUNDHOG DAY EPISODE WHERE ONE OF THE GODS MADE HER DO THE DAY OVER AND OVER UNTIL SHE GOT IT RIGHT. TiredandPissy!Xena was tired and pissy.

I miss Xena. Come back, Xena, come back!

Oh, look. Xena DVD. I am saved!

Badass people only wish they were half as badass as her.

I have been meaning to make a post about my recently discoveredlove for this show. But I thought I was going to wait until I've watched all season. But it's taking me an unusually long time to watch all of them since me and a friend are watching the episodes together and we're sort of bad at making time to watch them. So we haven't even finished season four (also for some reason she decided that she had to watch Hercules the Legendary Journeys too and I got sucked into that and every other episode we watch is now a Hercules episode where we mock it and complain about how bad it is in comparision to Xena... I have no idea why we're watching it... Although I think it's because we love all the characters except Hercules). ANYWAY!

I love this show! God! I love it so much! It's without a doubt my favorite show and I regret never having watched it before and even if it's kind of annoying that after six months we haven't even finished season four it means that it won't end too soon which is great because I am going to be so heart broken when it's over!

I love Xena she is absoulutely amazing and so gorgeous! And I love Gabby! I have the biggest crush on her! And horses!!! And! AAAHHH! There is so much I love about this show and I love finding it now instead of when I was a kid because I think I can appreciate it more. And it is so amazing and fuck I love it so much! And now I'm going to have to hope my friend has time to watch it today because now I want to! (This is the problem with living several miles from each other and having to watch them at the same time and talking over msn while doing it. And I need to find a replacement for msn. But that is completely irrelevant to this comment. XD)

Oh, man, I used to watch that a lot back when it was originally on, along with Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Loved that show so much. Haven't really seen it years, though. Is it on DVD? I should check that out.

I've actually downloaded xena with plans to watch it but I haven't started it yet! I feel like as a lover of all things fantasy, sci-fi and general camp it's something I have to watch eventually~
