Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Xena--you gotta love her: after all, she could snap your neck just by straightening her knees. She sprang fully armed from Sam Raimi's head in March 1995, to flesh out an otherwise routine episode of the television series Hercules, a 5' 10" high-kicking, horse-riding, chakram-throwing ancient-Greek-warrior princess, who mustered armies the way some women shop for shoes, turning heroes against one another as gleefully as she laid waste to sweet little villages.

Except that somewhere beneath that straight dark fringe and hard-boiled leather breastplate lurk doubts, feelings, even a soul. She was so popular on Hercules her spin-off was an instant certainty--and pretty soon the subtext of her own series was unfolding. Xena is on journey from evil to good, but this can only be enabled via the companionship of bossy redhead scribe/bard Gabrielle, her constant companion. Set in a lush New Zealand doubling for the pagan Mediterranean, as misruled by Ares, Aphrodite, Poseidon and the rest of the Mount Olympus gang, Xena: Warrior Princess recounts these exploits, as the duo confront gods, monsters, warlords, idiots and anachronisms, as well as their own flaws and desires, at the hilarious and sometimes unsettling mythological cross-roads where touchy-feelly Californian feminism meets high-camp chop-socky pantheism seasoned with the Way of Peplum Tao. --Honey Glass

In the third series (first aired US 1997-98), Xena, Gabrielle and the Joxer meet Boadicea, the Furies, Cleopatra and, in a flashback to China, Lao Tzu (as well as influential Xena-ex Lao Ma, Tzu's wife), slog through their very own very funny version of Groundhog Day, and fall out extremely badly. Xena reveals she has a son, Solan; Gabrielle betrays Xena (by mistake) in China; Gabrielle is raped; her daughter, a child of evil called Hope, is menaced by Xena, so Gabrielle takes up with Callisto (herself now a Goddess with divided loyalties) and kills Solan. Despite the usual forays into body mix-up plot lines and knockabout romantic silliness, as well as an all-musical dream episode ("The Bitter Suite") where this multiple pile-up of anger and betrayal seems to have been resolved, in reality the various revenge killings and attempts make matters worse. When Hope is reborn, hatching from a cocoon as an adult Gabrielle-lookalike, the mutual revenge reaches a murderous, sacrificial climax--until just one embittered &Uml;berbabe is left standing... Honey Glass



Synopsis

More adventures with the warrior princess, Xena, who fights for the rights of the innocent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best series to date!, 9 April 2001
Having watched the previous two series, where we are witness to the development of the relationship between Gabby and Xena, this series takes their relationship a little further into reality. As the watchers of this realistic and heart rending series, we see how the lies and secrets our hero's tell reveal the cracks in what is thought to be the perfect friendship. Throughout other series the portayal of their relationship is paramount and this series is no different, however it is done in such a way that you cant help taking sides.

The series is not without a huge serving of humour, with regulars such as Joxer and Ares delivering great mounds of laughter. However it is felt that this injection of humour is much needed in light of the much darker nature of the storyline.

The latter part of the box set sees the return of Joxer where we are treated to the fact that he has not only one identical brother but two (One which we see in this series, and the promise of seeing the other in series to come). However has we have witnessed before there are, contrary to belief, more than one Xena. Possibly the funniest episodes is where in 'Warrior, Priestess, Tramp' we are introduced to another Xena lookalike - A Hestian Virgin! Lucy Lawless treats us to even more of her talents - excellent!

A well rounded introduction to the third series - can't wait for Part two of this very revealling series!!!!
