This was a spin-off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, and probably even better than that show. We quite like Xena, but we like Gabrielle even better. Anyway, Xena used to be a villain, but in this series she travelled around with this girl she met named Gabrielle, who wanted to be a bard or whatever, but ended up learning to fight and stuff. (I think she started out as a redhead and later went blonde; I prefered her original look, but then again, at least her outfits started getting sexier.) There were, of course, recurring characters, the main one being a bumbling wannabe warrior named Joxer (played by Ted Raimi), who was pretty funny.

So, basically Xena was helping folks, trying to atone for her evil past and stuff. Of course, like Hercules, there was plenty of Greek mythology, but it was also wildly anachronistic at times. Anyway, I think at first Xena found Gabrielle kind of annoying, but over time they developed a very deep friendship. A relationship which many fans saw as something more, though there is no clear support of such theories, at least as far as I remember ever seeing. But then, I missed alot of the series, especially later on. I think I saw the series finale, but I don't remember it well at all. Wish I could think of more to say. And I'd definitely like to see the series again someday....
