I don't know if anybody knows yet, but I used to be a lesbian. Let's just throw that out the window of a New York skyscraper and let it fall into the hands of the public eye. I say I used to be, but let's leave that story for another undecided future post.
So one day in late 2011, I'm looking up lesbian movies and shows. I tried the L-Word, it got boring and weird after the seventh episode or so. I watched Elena Undone on Netflix and got in huge trouble because of the cool "Recently Watched" idea. Then I turned to Youtube and found shows in other languages and that got kind of boring. So, I look up suggestions other people had on the internet. Somehow I find Xena: Warrior Princess, and start watching that on Netflix. No, I didn't get in trouble that time. I actually watched a few episodes with my parents in the same room.
I fall in love with Xena like, the first episode. Lucy Lawless is FREAKING GORGEOUS. I'm not just saying that from a lesbian point of view. (Like I said, I'm not lesbian anymore, but at this time I was.) I am saying that because SHE'S FREAKING GORGEOUS. Augh!!!!! I will never get over it! Her eyes, her face, everything! That sounds creepy... but I have a point!
Because I was a lesbian at the time, I'll have to write in that point of view.
I loved Xena and Gabrielle's relationship. Although the random love interests they have are just stupid (especially Gabrielle's). I do not understand, though. They love each other so dearly and sincerely, but why do they kiss each other on the lips?? AND WHY AT GABRIELLE'S WEDDING?! I was mad, because that was the first time they kissed. They were leaving each other/breaking apart because Gabrielle fell in love with (some guy at Troy, I believe). By golly, I am SO glad he died! (How cruel... NOT!)
I'm gonna jump ahead to Gabrielle's hair getting cut. I love the way it happened, (kind of like a Sakura way--- Naruto drama) but I wasn't completely shocked. I had looked up pictures of the characters before, and almost cried when I saw her hair cut so short. You get used to it after awhile into the show...
Xena's voice. I love that too. I love Gabrielle's stubbornness and Xena's stubbornness.
Although that one episode where they are like, fighting because they hate each other SO much. I didn't understand that one...
LOL, it was probably killing all the lesbian fans! I researched and the directors purposefully added hints of stuff because it was popular with the lesbians.
Anyway, I anticipated every kiss they shared because THERE WERE SO FEW!!!!!!! After a long time, I kinda gave up on the show. I don't remember why... but it just happened. I only got a couple episodes into Season 5 I think.
Now I keep yearning to watch it again! I actually started it from Season 1 Episode 1 this last Saturday (I've been making bracelets while watching-- I'm no lazy-ass).
I tend to get excited over little things between Xena and Gabrielle (although I stop myself because I wish not to be lesbian), and mad whenever there's a stupid love interest... and I keep admiring Lucy Lawless! If I could see her in person, I would cry from the angelic light that would radiate off of her.
I feel bad for Joxer as well. I think he's so cute sometimes. (Not exactly in looks, but in personality and actions.) He's a funny guy... too bad he fell in love with Gabrielle. I haven't seen much past Season 5, so I can't really say much more.
Oh my goodness, I laughed my pants off when Gabrielle got drunk (she drank some weird potion I think). I can't wait for that episode!
And now that I'm watching the series again, it's like I remember all the episodes. "Oh yeah, this one's about..." Hehe, sometimes I get future episodes messed up with Season 1 episodes. Some of them are pretty similar, eh?
Anyway, XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS is a favourite show just because it's something I watched and really enjoyed. It's actually great for it's time. I don't exactly care for all the "gods" stuff because I'm a Christian. But at least I know the truth, right? Good.
Thanks for reading my take on XWP!
