Now there’s realism for you.
Why not?
Octavia survives falling off a cliff into a raging river after being stabbed in the gut and all by herself gets on a horse and moves on BUT Lexa dies from a bullet to the gut while being in the comfort of her own home in the company of a very capable doctor
You got it ‘straight,’ all right.
Having people like Roan and Octavia survive improbable odds only rubs salt in the wound over Lexa’s death.
‘Fragility of life,’ he said.
Bullshit, said everyone else.
I am SO OVER anti-rebooters giving me shit on facebook
i just want more xena.
You cool,don’t let em keep you down
I want Xena to be like Superman: a franchise so embedded in the dna of pop culture that everyone knows the basics of “former warlord seeking redemption traveling with her plucky bard lover,” with endless reimaginings, I want it to live beyond just being one cult show from the 90s, I want it to be like, Sherlock Holmes persistent, with new versions for every new generation of young lady gays, ugh, I want it baaaad.
Preach it
All the above.
I think we all want to see LL/ROC back, it would be beautiful, hope it happens – but I think we also want this to become a new franchise that will last a long time. Call it a reboot or whatever, but there will have to be a new Xena/Gabrielle.
Sadly, I wish NBC showed more enthusiasm for this. Just not seeing it. With Tapert and Co working on AvED, will they veer off to return to Xena?
I do think the potential Wonder Woman franchise has probably thrown this project off. If they were serious on this, I think they would be moving with nostalgia marketing (license some damn Funkos), a blu ray box set, and getting some hype together to build critical mass toward a new series. Because this hasn’t happened, a new series (even a mini-film) seems a long ways off.
