[fandom] Did I really need another one?
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!

Gina Torres does indeed play Cleopatra in the S3 episode 'King of Assassins'. But she's much more interesting in the S4 Hercules ep 'Yes Virginia, there is a Hercules'
You're too early on in S1 to appreciate my additions to your notes, but you will:
Ares = Love
Callisto = Love
Aphrodite = Love

It makes me wish I had more time to marathon through the available seasons.
