Who's a fan of Xena or X-Files?
 

Just out of curiousity, I was wondering how many members are also fans of Xena and/or the X-Files. I personally watched X-Files like it was my religion (LOL...thinks *Mulder*...drools) and can quote most Xena eps (except Season 6 because the TV station here stopped playing it so I only saw it when it was on reruns on USA and SciFi...and yes, I know it's sad I can quote some eps. LOL). Xenites and Shippers (or Shrippers I think that's what it's called in some cases) unite! :)

I watch X-files since beginning. But IMO they ruined it with all this governemnt conspiracy, supersoldiers, alien-humen hybrids, colonisation crap. I like episodes where they actually deal with paranormal (like that guy & his mother who could control insects). I still watch them but skip episodes with above mentioned stuff.

i believe...
 

...i watched almost all of the episodes till that Dogget guy...:(

then it all fell apart and i stopped watching...

but still i think it's the best thing that ever happened to TV :D

Battle On !!
 

X:WP what a show !!

A camp, firmly tounge in cheek show that readdressed the role of the woman in Action Adventure.

Lucy Lawless IS Flawless ! (she does indeed have many skills!)

Loved her in the X-Files which again in itself is another barrier breaking show that took SFI to a whole new dimension.

Have all the Xena DVD's and most of the X-files on video.

:done:

both of them!
I'm fan of the xFILES, and a serious HCN of Xena :) Oh the nutforum...I miss that old times...really, it was nice while it lasted (heheeh 6 years of obssesive fanatism)

karxwp, another hardcore nutball, woo-hoo! :laugh:

Yeah, I'm a big big Xena and Gabrielle fan. LOVED the show, I know every single episode inside out, and I do hope that the rumours about a Xena movie will come true!

And yeah Ghalib, Battle On indeed! :yes:

Thanks for the great topic, fellow Xenite dare2dream28. :done:

xena225

Both these shows, I positively adored.

~Echo.

Xena-fan.

Well, I named my dog Xena...does that tell you anything? (Her full name is Xena the warrior poodle. :) )

I liked x-files, but I *loved* Xena.

Did any of you see Lucy Lawless on Saturday Night Live? She does a fantastic Stevie Nicks!

Parrish

HUGE fan of Xena...sooo pathetic even to the point that I made my own Gabby and Xena outfit...hey, it was for umm...halloween, yeah, lol. No, I was a big fan for all six years, and the Xenaverse will continue to hold a special place in my heart, hehe. because I am from Austin, TX, I used to go eat at Threadgill's and ask from Sandra Wilson (ROC's mom) hey I was just a little kid, not a stalker, I promise.

I loved X-files. I was not part of the fandom, but I watched the show regularly...much like everyone has said, I still watched it past Dogget and the gov conspiracy crap...but did NOT enjoy it as much. I missed the paranormal, not soap opera episodes.

My dog's name is Argo! people who have seen his picture can tell why I chose that name (although If he were black I would have called him Ares :)) Xena on SNL was awesome!! Lucy rocks! she is one of the best actress I've ever seen :) her voice it's quite amazing...hahaha the stevie nicks stuf was so hilarious!

Someone loved the bitter suite as much as me? Or the Xmas party in New Xenaland (yeah I changed the name's country! it's not Zealand its New Xenaland :)) her voice is great :)

anyone saw the Xfiles Episode where Lucy appeared :) nice episode!

My two favorite shows joined in one hhehehe

karxwp, YES! Loved her voice and SNL rocked, especially the stevie nicks part. I also quite enjoyed the judge judy part, because Lucy always joked about being a fan of hers. I LOVED, Bitter Suite. SOooo much. I knew all the words, bought the CD, quite funny really. I would act out the scenes all dramatically... Yes, I was a sad child, but I had fun!!
Did you see LL on Rosie, when she sang the cowgirl song? HAHAH, damn that was great. Look I was a cheap ass and wouldn't buy the dolls, so I got my Barbies (which I never liked anyway) and made little gabby, xena outfits for them...even a chakram and staff. Ahh, good times, good times.

Funny that is dedicated!!

I went to a XenaFest in the UK that had no Stars of the show, heck there was not even a boom operator or gaffer boy from the show ... just 98 other Xena loons getting together for the love of the show .. It was very atmospheric watching the incredible "Bitter Suite" episode and all of the out takes and interviews that someone had kindly captured, watching Renee say the word "wan*er" had us all off our seats in fits of laughter ! :D :D :D

Lucy Flawless was indeed magnificent on SNL ...
She was delicious though on So Graham Norton, :coctail:
She has an excellent sense of humour.

:: SIGH !! I miss that show ... : : :(

Bitty2002 I knew the lines of the episodes by heart! as well as the bitter suite!

Ah yes the Judge Judy!!! the elephant part "never forget, never forget!!" the balloon! that was amazing!! so funny! *sigh* miss the show...Damn Tapert....he was like Ivan...

:) heheheh Xena doll!! I was cheap too cause I saw them last year in San Diego and I didn't buy them :(

Alright, XENA fans :) Listen up - some questions for you...

1) Who's your fave? Xena or Gabrielle?
2) Lovers or just good friends?
3) Favourite season?
4) Favourite episode?
5) Favourite character other than Xena and Gabrielle?
6) The ending - inspired or horrible?
7) If there's indeed a movie - how should they bring Xena back?

to be continued... :)

Re: i believe...
 

I must say that I liked the Scully / Reyes dynamics a lot. They should have had more episodes together. For example, the numerology episode was hilarious - I think it was called "Improbable" - loved that one -

- but it's true - the magic of the show was kind of gone during the last two seasons...

xena225

1) Fav character, Xena, of course. :)
2) Lovers, got to be lovers. :)
3)Hmmm...season...jeez, I'd have to watch them all over again to answer that one!
4)Episode...I'd have to say the one where Gabby almost dies, and Xena *won't* stop doing mouth to mouth until she comes back. Lucy did one hell of an acting job on that one.
5)Other fav character...I'd have to say Callisto. She was evil..but in an entertaining way. Plus she was a reminder of what Xena had done in the past...showing that Xena had made *huge* steps in changing herself, yet still had to answer for her past.
6)The ending...I hated it.
7) How would they bring her back...are you kidding? I mean, how many times did Xena die in the series and manage to come back? She's like Jason, or Micheal Myers. :D

Parrish

*claps hands* Yay!! I'm so excited to get to talk about Xena and X-Files again! :D As far as the X-Files, I was completely obsessed. I had all the mags, figurines, computer games, shirts, movie, etc. And get this--the x-files even used MY TOWN as a set in one of the eps!!! Talk about dream coming true!! But them my dumb ass principal DEMANDED the producers cut our town out of the show b/c she said it would portray the teenagers at my school as murderers in a cult since that was what the ep delt with. Talk about raising hell...I had petitions, letters, bad mouthed her every chance I got...needless to say I was pissed but in the end the producers left us in the ep. *x-files one, principal ZERO...take that biatch!* Even though I loved the show, I absolutely despised Dogget. I HATED him. I was so mad b/c I thought he ruined the show. I was like "There is NO X-Files without Mulder and Scully. The show isn't Dogget and Scully. WHERE'S MULDER?!" Needless to say I was not as into it once Mulder left and I thought the ending was WONDERFUL...until the last 2 minutes when Mulder made his last speech. Ugh I felt screwed because what I gathered from it was "Forget the whole point of the show that there could be aliens out there...to fight for the truth...just forget it and believe that God will save us all." Ugh.

Now as far as Xena, that was my SECRET obsession..well, not really obsession...just short of it I guess though. LOL I was dedicated, but no one knew I watched it *yes I know I'm weird like that* To answer the questions though, here I go:

1) I'm more for Xena all the way. Ahhh I remember little me running around with a frisbee as a chakram and a stick as a sword. LOL
2) Wellll for the longest time I was like "Romantic Friendship" but after having them pretty much "come out" in the 6th season, I'd have to say yes, they are lovers
3) Season 2
4) A Day in the Life ( parrish, the ep you're talking about is "Is There a Doctor in the House?" yep, I'm sad hehe)
5) Ares was one hottttt god. ESPECIALLY with the short hair cut *drools*
6) Ending...:bebebe: Bad ending, not what I expected
7) I have no idea how they could bring Xena back. She's died and come back so many times...her and Gabby both. So however they do it (IF they do), it'll be a big surprise

Here's one more question though:

8) Ever read fanfiction for either of the shows? Which one? Me? I read Xena fanfic...I was quite satisfied with M&S relationship so I didn't want to read anyone else's opinion on it, but X&G...well, diff story. :heh: Well enough with my rambling.

reviving the old times :)
 

1) Who's your fave? Xena or Gabrielle?
XENA OF COURSE! (It's like with tatu Lena or Yulia or course Yulia)
2) Lovers or just good friends?
Good friends my ass...lovers of course!
3) Favourite season?
3, 4, 6.
4) Favourite episode?
When fates collide, the Ring trilogy, in sickness and in hell, bitter suite, maternal insctincs, etc.
5) Favourite character other than Xena and Gabrielle?
Autolicus, Ares.
6) The ending - inspired or horrible?
H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E
7) If there's indeed a movie - how should they bring Xena back?
I don't care how they have to bring her back! :)
8) about fanfics...oh well I read almost every fanfic about X&G...

1) Who's your fave? Xena or Gabrielle ?
The Battling Bard of Potedia :D
2) Lovers or just good friends ?
Oh come on ... there was just TOO much sub-text in season 6 ... Er "Hi Gabrielle, but I used to have a girlfriend called Akimi, I chopped her head off !!" PRICELESS :bebebe:
3) Favourite season ?
Season 3, 6, 4, 2, 1 then the dreary 5th :none:
4) Favourite episode?
Too many !!!! Errm ... I would have to say "One against an Army", just let our two girls deliver a classic episode, no one else butting in, plus loved THAT Xena stick doll ! Quality !
5) Favourite character other than Xena and Gabrielle?
Auto Baby + Calisto (Evil)
6) The ending - inspired or horrible?
It was a sell out ...I hated it ... Still do :mad:
7) If there's indeed a movie - how should they bring Xena back?
Not too fussed as long as it is WITHOUT the power of ELI ... well maybe if it via the good Calisto, but not him please!
Extra Question. Do you read the fanfiction ?
Sure have, there are many creative people out there.. Like Linda Crist, Melissa Goode, CN Winters etc..

Can I add one !

Favourite scene ?
For me has got to be Season 6 "The Dance" in "The Heart of Darkness" :: frell me silly :: but how hot are they both without being HOT .. That is Lesbian Chic !! :bum: :hmmm:

I idly watched it when I was younger, but I always was and always will be a Buffy girl. ;)
Though, I WAS quite relieved as I got older that I wasn't just seeing things in the whole X/G relationship. That I wasn't insane as a lil young'in. :D

I remember Ares always cracked me up and was just badass to my 12 year old mind. Plus I had found him oddly hot being all...."Ror, I'm a god! Ror!"
Calisto was always neck and neck with Ares of favorite characters though.

Same here, I was a Buffy fangirl... till Faith came along.
Now I wish Faith has her own tv series.

Anyhoo, I used to watch the X-Files up until the movie came out.

As for Xena, it jumped the shark aroung around the time when that other sidekick got introduced. Was it her daughter or something?

Eve was Xena's daughter. Personally, I think the show started to go down hill in Season 4, and ESPECIALLY when Xena got pregnant. Now for all you Gabby people, what Gabby do you like better? Staff Gabby, Peace Gabby, or Sias Gabby? Me, I like it better when Gabrielle carried her staff and followed Xena around like a lil puppy dog...ahh the hero worship days. LOL And as far as Eli..well this is what I think of him: :bebebe: I started to watch Xena because I LOVE Greek mythology and when Eli came along, I was like "Plleeaaasssee don't take the show down the Christianity road!!" Don't get me wrong, have nothing against Christians, but I wanted to see GREEK mythology on the show!

Sais Gabby!! the peaceful gaby was sooo stupid...and the naive (1st season) gabby sucked sooo much...the staff was cool but I like the sais better! :)

Another question...Who was your most hated character? mine was Peaceful Eve (too damn stupid) and Akemi (lil bitch...)

Scully the best!!
 

Good morning!! (i said good morning because in italy are the 8.30 am!) :-)
I'm a fan of X-Files, i look this telefilm from the first episode, 9 years ago!
I think that is very cool, because is psychological and very hard to understand..
I believe in the aliens and this telefilm is the only that speak of the soprannatural experience!
Very cool!
Byeeeeeeee ILA

Alright, here I go: :)

1) Who's your fave? Xena or Gabrielle ?
Gabrielle!! Which Gabrielle, you ask? The Amazon Queen, the Warrior Bard - 6th season Gabrielle is definitely my favourite. :yes:

2) Lovers or just good friends ?
Lovers. Maybe even as early as "The Quest (2nd season), definitely after "Adventures in the Sin Trade" (4th season). In my opinion. :)

By the way, here's what Lucy herself said after the show was over:
3) Favourite season?
6 and 2. Least favourite: 5.

4) Favourite episode?
A Day In The Life, When Fates Collide, The Ring Trilogy, Between The Lines, One Against An Army, Legacy.... soooo many great episodes... :yes:

5) Favourite character other than Xena and Gabrielle?
I always liked the Amazons, especially Ephiny and Varia.

6) The ending - inspired or horrible?
It was horrible. The episodes are powerful, I admit that, and Gabrielle was simply amazing, but the idea to end it this way was horrible.

7) If there's indeed a movie - how should they bring Xena back?
I always thought Gabrielle would bring her back somehow. :)

8) Do you read the fanfiction ?
I love Xena fan fiction, especially Missy Good's stories.

9) Favourite scene ?
Soo many favourite scenes. One Against An Army: "Even in death, Gabrielle, I will never leave you." When Fates Collide: When they see each other on the balcony at night and just - stare. The Quest: Their first kiss. :) The bathtub scene from "A Day In The Life"... And I always loved to watch Xena fighting.

10) Who was your most hated character?
Joxer (dopey). And Caesar (pompous ass).

xena225

What's your favourite Xena or Gabrielle picture?
 

I thought it might be fun to see your favourite pictures of Xena and Gab. Here are mine (from the website of the incomparable MaryD):

Xena in When Fates Collide

Gabrielle in Sixth Season

Xena and Gabrielle

Looking at all these pics just now, made me realize that I really miss them. :hmmm:

xena225

Sais Gabby!!!!
Although, staff Gabby in the now infamous Green Sports Bra was kinda stimulating !!
And that Amazon garb was rather tasty at times !! ;) ;)

Most hated and still to this day Eli (Yuuuuccckkkk!!) what a wus. :bebebe:

As for favourite photos ...

http://www.xenamultimedia.com/photos...on-X&G-115.jpg

BUT- Out of character !
http://www.xenamultimedia.com/photos...on-X&G-112.jpg

AND - If you are easily put off ... don't look ..!
http://www.xenamultimedia.com/photos...on-X&G-075.jpg

:: Sigh NOW I really miss this show .... sniff :( ::

definitly a xena and gab fan....:):)

Most Hated Character:
ELI!!!!! You don't know how much I wanted Xena to kick his little peace loving ass. Second, peaceful Eve...ugh, couldn't stand her. Anyone else devestated when Callisto turned good? I thought she was the best villian!

Favorite scene:
Hmmm this one's hard. One that sticks out in my mind is in "Old Ares Had a Farm" (I think), Gabrielle and Ares are bickering when Ares says "Don't we agree on anything?!" Then Gabrielle looks up and they show Xena and Ares goes "Oh, Right." LOL :D

One thing about the movie though, if they do it, is no matter who they have as Ares, it'll never be the same without Kevin Smith. I still can't believe he died. Such a wonderful actor and singer too.

Now that we are talking about the show and seeing pictures, I realize just how much I miss it. :( Anyone else sign the online petition for Season 7? LOL

I liked Joxer! he was an ass but he can sing! remember "Dancing in the moonlight" (Lyre Lyre hearts on fire) he was the most stupid thing ever but sometimes he was funny....Eli...well he was the worse thing that happened in the series!

Favorite scenes.....mmm ALL THE "I LOVE YOU'S" ? :GIGI: I agree with Xena225 with the favorite scenes....oh the xenaverse...I miss it...

Makes me remember my old Xena Website http://xenaland0.tripod.com

hmm.. not Xena fan, but no hater either. Just wanted to mention that the other day I saw a commercial for Xena and they used ATTSS for their promo song.... def. turned the volume all the way up, lol.

I LOVE Xena! It's only my favourite show EVER! :)

As for The X-Files, I love that show too. I can't wait till I'm a millionaire so I can buy all the dvd's. ;)

1) Who's your fave? Xena or Gabrielle ?
Gabrielle, Gabrielle, Gabrielle. Just in case you didn't get it, Gabrielle! *lol*

2) Lovers or just good friends ?
Could they have been more obvious if they tried? Only if they had an arrow pointed at them saying "Of course they're doing it! D'uh!"

3) Favourite season?
Wow, we could be twins! Very little seperates seasons 6, 2, 3, and 4 for me. Seaons one is good with some amazing episodes, whereas season five was pretty much...argh.

4) Favourite episode?
Agreed! I'll add Endgame to that. Love that episode, basically any episode that Steven L Sears wrote. The Price is fantastic too!

"You don't know how much I love...that." *sighs happily*

5) Favourite character other than Xena and Gabrielle?
Callisto, Aphrodite, Ares, Lao Ma, Autolycus, Joxer, Salmoneus...I've probably left a lot of them out.

6) The ending - inspired or horrible?
Yep. Personally, I think Gabrielle was the best thing about it. The episode had some unforgettable scenes, but gee, it hurt. Definitely heart-wrenching.

7) If there's indeed a movie - how should they bring Xena back?
Gabrielle with the eternal soulmate kiss of life! :) :heart:

8) Do you read the fanfiction ?
I second that...again. How cool are Dar and Kerry? :) I've been reading Xena fan fic since '97 and I still can't get enough!

9) Favourite scene ?
Any and every lovey dovey scene with Xena and Gabrielle. One of my favourites is THAT poem scene in Many Happy Returns.

10) Who was your most hated character?

Probably Eve. She sucked. And if I heard "In the name of Eli, I demand that demon to be cast out..." one more time... *lol*

Rhapsody

*loving the pics!*

Hey,

Xena fans all around !! *doing the happy dance* I'm even inclined to give a little "A-la-la-la-la" Xena yell, but I think I'll go easy on your ears - for now. ;)

Steven Sears wrote the best episodes, and he was a great producer, too. It showed immediately when he left. Good thing they got their act together again in season 6. :done:

A classic. :) Ah, those were the subtext days, huh?

Dar and Kerry are awesome. I also like Missy's original Xena/Gab stories. It's like a whole new Xenaverse rooted in the original series. Does anyone read the Virtual Subtext Season by any chance?

Yes, indeed - another classic moment! Xena giving Gabrielle a Sappho poem for her birthday. Here's a pic from that scene:
Many Happy Returns

She wasn't so bad in my opinion. :) Though the transition from evil Livia to good Eve was a bit rushed in my opinion. Still: Joxer was much more annoying. karxwp, yes, I loved "Dancing in the Moonlight", but technically that wasn't Joxer, but his gay brother Jace. :cool:

dare2dream28, you're right. It won't be the same without Kevin Smith. But maybe they will manage to honour him in some way in the movie, that would be a nice thing to do, wouldn't it?

Ghalib, thanks for the pics. That third one, yikes. :) "Beauty and the Beast", huh?

Here are some more pictures:

Between the Lines
A Friend In Need
Xena and her Chakram

Battle On! :cool:

xena225

yeah I know it was Jace but Ted Raimi is simply great :)

Joxer wasn't that bad...he sucked but he had this good heart...Eve...cute eve and cute callisto sucked big time...

Ahh this thread has really put me back into Xena Mode.

Just read the season finale for XWP Subtext Vitual Season 8.

http://www.xenamultimedia.com/xwpsub...s8_epguide.htm :done:

karxwp Agree as much as Joxer was annoying at time Ted Rami was good to watch.


xena225 Love all of the Mendhi pictures, but THAT one is a cracker !!

Question ... Which was the most irritating arch i.e. India, China, Britannia etc ? :dknow:

I was not too keen on the China ones that featured LAO MA's (hot stuff) daughters ... I liked Ming Tein, he was an evil bas*ard ...

Just signed your guest book !!

Good site, such a shame that the show ended the way that it did. :(

However, your bumper / stickers make up for the betrayal by Tappert ... :mad:

NICE ONE :done:

Ghalib thanks! long time my guestbook hasn't been signed :) liked the site? the bumper stickers were an idea from the old nutforum :) they made the phrases and I did the graphics...they were done when I sucked at doing graphics stuff, well I still suck but my wallpapers are crazy but people seem to like them :)

Well, I never liked Joxer. I'm not much for that type of humour, and especially during the 5th season he got on my nerves A LOT. I also always gnashed my teeth when he made passes at Gabrielle. Grrrrr. :bebebe: I liked Autolycus much better as comic relief.

Britannia was awful. Everything about it was awful, I won't even start to specify what I didn't like. And may I just say: "Hope" - yikes. :grustno:

The Chin arc - painful as it was to watch at times - was pretty good, though. The Debt 1 & 2 were great episodes, and Jacqueline Kim as Lao Ma was fantastic! :done:

Well, because it's so much fun, here are two more of my favourite pics:

Who's Gurkhan?

Return of the Valkyrie

Battle On! ;)
