    Lol so bad

    I feel sorry for anyone intellectually challenged enough to rate this as anything other than the garbage it is. This is pretty much as bad as Kevin Sorbos Hercules just the female version.

    So, so bad.

    That is all.

    A friend in need - response to Ricardo Gomez

    Sadly Ricardo Gomez, you seem to not have watched the whole series to understand that phrase of Xena to Gabrielle. No they were not made inside a set. You evidently don't know anything about this show. It is evident that your discontent is more towards your impression of this being a TV show that was dedicated to lesbians so you resent all that was done towards the relationship of these two heroes, The truth is that these two episodes - even though I did not like the ending - were magnificently well done. If your job is as a critic my friend you are going to starve to death, you better change your line of work. Finally I can say without a doubt Xena: Warrior Princess was, is and will always be Epic.

    Xena is amazing

    I really miss Xena, she is a great warrior and strong woman. Great costumes and fights scenes, pleasant to watch and quite motivating. Both film and series are great and adventurous.
