[fandom] Did I really need another one?

[escritoireazul]

Last weekend, I discovered this fun, cheesy show. Via Netflix's Movie Viewer, I watched a few episodes and enjoyed them. Today, I sat down to watch one more, and haven't been able to stop. We're talking hours here, time I should have been packing.

The show? This little thing some of you have probably heard of called Xena: Warrior Princess.

Talk about late to the game.

I'm about to start the season one episode "The Black Wolf" and I have some very general things to say.

Amazons = love
Xena + Gabrielle = love
Cheesy shows + Carla = love

I've not been hit with the desire to write anything (yet, and probably because I have been thinking so much about my femgenficathon story) but I think I'm going to want to read some fic soon.

(I had always intended to watch this show someday, because Victoria Pratt has a small role in it, and I'll watch lots of crappy things for her. House of the Dead 2? Oh yeah. However, I didn't expect to enjoy it so much, but I probably should have known. Women fighting, gods, swords, leather, cheesiness -- why didn't I think I'd love this?)

It does leave me with the urge to watch Cleopatra 2525 again.

ETA: I just found out Jennifer Sky was also in Xena, so that's two of the three from Cleopatra 2525. No wonder I want to watch the two shows together!

There's a good chance that Gina Torres is in Xena. I mean, she shows up in Hercules, for certain, and the casts/characters are so incestuous between the two.

Doesn't she play Cleopatra on Xena? She's great as the pirate character on Hercules.
