When I first started watching Xena: Warrior Princess, I was fairly young, so gender wasn’t really something that I paid much attention to. A show’s ability to entertain me was my primary focus, and it didn’t matter to me what gender the main characters were. As I got older, though, I started to see patterns…

It’s a tie! Well, technically, it’s a two-parter: “Purity” and “Back in the Bottle” from Season Five. It includes my least favorite villain (Pao Tzu) and a return to Chin in a weird attempt to recreate the magic of “The Debt” from Season Three. Even Robert Tapert, Xena producer and co-creator, was severely disappointed in…

Before I did the Xena: Warrior Princess Challenge, I posted an “on rotation” of my favorite soundtracks and felt it was incomplete, and after a bit of reflection, I realized it was because none of them included the scores. Like … I like lyrical music. I really do. There’s an artistry to creating words to…

This episode has been and will always be my favorite, and I don’t care that it’s from the first season and features terrible makeup and crappy CGI. “Hooves and Harlots” is what got me into Xena and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. Recap: Xena and Gabrielle are passing through a…

I’ll be finishing this challenge up this week, I promise! The past week has been … interesting, to say the least. But I’ll be working on these entries for the next couple of days, so I’m hoping to be done with the challenge before Friday. But onto the challenge, belatedly! Not gonna lie, I am…

I’m officially in nursing school, kids! Now, I won’t receive the paper offer until next week, and…

As you know from my previous posts, Season Five is … not my favorite. It has Xena’s mystical rape/pregnancy (I don’t care that she’s okay with it, she had no say in whether or not she had a baby), over-the-top religious allusion (Eve/Livia is basically Jesus and Paul wrapped up into one character, and Eli…

I’ve alluded to my doomed marriage several times on various social media websites, sometimes with a bit more detail, but more often than not, it was quick quips about how he is an asshole and a narcissist. It’s easier that way. A lot of the vulnerability I feel stems from my no good, very bad…

Who would have thought that microbiology would be hard? I had to write two papers, complete three labs, and read two pretty hefty chapters this weekend, so sorry about the lateness, but school comes first, y’all. Anyway, back to writing about episodes. It’s actually been kind of nice to look at things in more of…
