I'm loving your analysis of Xena eps on Patreon. These are definitely the best! I think I've watched "Day in the Life," "When Fates Collide" and "Rheingold Trilogy" 5 or 6 times each.
100% agree with One Against an Army to start someone out watching Xena. If you’re only interested in watching the relationship between them and aren’t really interested in the over all show, I would definitely start there. After that, I with A Day in the Life, (personally I hated the whole Rheingold arc). I agree with almost all of your picks though. I would say to end with When Fates Collide. Don’t put anyone through the that final two episodes. I still haven’t recovered or forgiven the power that be for that one. Battle on!😊
@@100percentshipper 100% Agree! "Things happen precisely as they should..." If you decide the series finale is "When Fates Collide" followed by "Many Happy Returns" (which is a little silly, but y'know, that's fine), it's a MUCH better series sendoff than FIN. It's the way I do it on rewatch anyway. (And don't get me started about "Last of the Centaurs"...)
Fortunately I did some research before I watched the whole season and ended by watching WFC and MHR. I hated AFIN too much but the Gabrielle being tattoed and the kiss scene (by the gods it was so beautiful) was totally worth watching it.
Damn, I have to admit that I've never seen Xena. Maybe it's because I'm from Germany, maybe it's because I thought I was straight for a long time? This video makes me want to make up for this omission! 🌈
It was one of my favorite shows, being from Germany... One of the few reasons to swap to RTL and Kabel1 for me. But i would say, everyone sees what he wants to see. Except few episodes playing with it, there was nothing of that kind in that show as i remember... Just a brothers in arms spin off show, as they saw guys like nude girls and history better than nude males and history. Don't know why anyone allways wants to make something gay of things like this. Otherwise, sexy girls is all that mattered at that age... but the show wouldnt have been such a success in its peer group, if it was that whats been told here. At max a subtle dance between the lines, all in the imagination of the viewer. Best thing of TV back the days, nothing blant to your face.
Excellent video. Love all of those episodes. I would have added the musical episode to this list and perhaps, strangely, the story of when she heads to kill Ming Tien
This is the only series I've ever watched that I cannot for the life of me, get over with. I love Xena and Gabrielle so much, I am addicted! And now here I am watching everything about them LMAO
I was missing your Xena's compilations, I enjoyed this one a lot. So many wonderful great moments between them. It sucks that I can't watch it in any of my streaming platforms. I have it on DVD though. Thanks, great video ❤
My first glimpse of this show was an episode with Callisto. I'd never heard of the show until this moment I landed on the tv channel airing it- and what I saw entranced me, I guess would be the word. I knew instantly the subtext without knowing anything more about the show! I had to know everything and I became a fan with a membership card. haha I bought a ton of Xena merchandise from posters to t-shirts to action figures lots and lots of those, and picture cards and you name it, it bought it. I was obsessed!!!!! Oh and don't forget the fanfiction- that was some very meaty entertainment. When the show ended I cried for two weeks (on and off course).
I'd start at the beginning and watch it develop like us OG Xenites did! I first noticed the subtext in Altared States. That one got my attention right off and it didn't die down til the end! Taped it and watched (most of) it all over again on SyFy here in the states last year. Here's hoping it becomes more available to everyone soon cause there will never be another show like it again. 😍
There are sooo many wonderful moments throughout the show between these two that I can see how it is difficult to put it all into one video. But you missed The Abyss! The cave scenes are always a favorite. Pretty much anytime these two almost or did die, you knew it was about to get intense.
Would be nice to have a place where you could watch it 😅 At least in Italy you can’t find it even if you want to pay to watch it… Prime Video had it some years ago and then they removed it and now no streaming service has it 😅
That is insane to me! I bought the box set 25 years ago, so don't have that issue. I feel strongly it's the only way to access the shows and films you love, platforms can remove content whenever they want to.
Bonjour merci beaucoup pour cette magnifique vidéo j'ai vraiment apprécié et beaucoup aimé merci beaucoup continuez vous le mérité énormément je vous enbrasse très fort Patricia de la France ❤💋❤😉😘🥰🙂❤💕💕❤❤
I did watch the series in the 1990's, being a Lucy Lawless fan, I might have discovered my own sexuality sooner had these scenes been shown on ITV. I knew that Zena and Gabrielle were more than just allies, but I didn't see enough to convince me of that, it is a shame I missed out, they make such a fantastic couple, I looked out for that on-screen kiss, but I never saw it.
I hold this series so close to my heart 💗 I have watched all the episodes chronologically for about 3 times, plus some episodes more than others of course. The first time I discovered the series was on Canal 5 in Mexico, it was dubbed in Spanish, I must have been like 12-14 yo and since that first time I was captured by Xena’s & Gabrielle’s relationship/dynamic. Some years later I found a webpage with all the episodes 🤭 although the quality was like 420p 💀lol But now I can’t find a streaming platform where I can watch the series in good quality and with subtitles (in case I have missed something 😅). I know the series must be on Amazon but it’s not allowed for my country 😩 …I think my last option would be to buy the DVD’s 😮
29 Year ' s , It is NOT NOT a gay Episode in ANY sence of the Word But my Fav is when they Return to Xena Family Home and the whole town villiage is over run by thing ' s that go bump in the night THEY REALLY DO GET TOGETHER ;
This makes me want to go back and watch all the seasons over again!
Skipping the heteronormativity
me too 😀🩷
What's your favorite episode?

Thank you! I do love those eps, they're so much shippy
fun.
Yasss more Xena content!! 😀

I like to end on When Fates Collide and then Many Happy Returns personally :D

"When Fates Collide" should have been a two parter! I'll keep yelling that.

DVD is the way to go!

Whew!!!! With respect every episode has a beautiful 🌈 ❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

I mean that is the best way, agreed. Sometimes you gotta tease things a bit though!

Yes, love that ep!
I never thought I'd say this, but now it's weird hearing Lucy Lawless with an American accent. 😄

I'm a lesbian. I had no idea how gaaaaay this was omg
It's veeeery gay. Highly recommend.

A Day in the Life is my favourite episode. It was a brilliant episode.
When fates collide... What to say about this one... It haunts me

Yes, do it. Don't rely on streaming ever!
I know a fan site with the remasterde episodes of the series and subtitles in a lot of languages if you want
Loooovvee this!!

Do xena and gabrielle actually properly snog in the episode The Quest?
Not really. Xena leans in and the scene quickly cuts away to Gabrielle kissing Autolocus.
@@The.Riss77 that's disappointing.
@@salliewagenblatt5188 It was fun really! I jumped up and down alot, lol, cause it was really Xena kissing her. ;)
Beautiful
Arg I want to watch this but I don't know how 😢
Old school DVD's is the way to go! Or you know, sail the high seas. Streaming is not reliable.

Absolutely disgusting
You watched the whole thing didn't you?😂😂😂
You nasty.
Nice bait, very clever!
