Xena Writer Speaks Up For Tolerance
The acclaimed writer Katherine Fugate - who wrote one of the best loved Xena episodes (When Fates Collide) and who will most probably also write the script for the planned Xena movie - posted a statement on her website which I thought might be interesting for this forum as well. So I'll post it here.

wow.. don't tell a writer what to write
Think the ratings went down in Denmark because it aired at sunday afternoons and later a competing channel had a row of similar series in the same period of time. My brother used to watch Xena and Hercules while I was looking at Angel and Buffy at the other channel. Sometimes when reruns where show one of us switched to the other channel. Xena aired for a long period of time. I think it lost viewers like most other series does when reaching a certain age. |

xena, Thanks for posting.
My respect to the Lady for such a clear statement for tolerance and nevertheless being polite! I've never watched Xena but Buffy had subtext that became facts and the show ended as planned after 7 years, so subtext was probably not the reason for finishing Xena. |

I've never watched Xena.
Actually i don't like subtext either, i think it's better to hit biggots right in the face with what scares them. They are as shocked in either case, so why bother going soft on them. Those biggots are not very smart because if they don't like what their children see in that show they could easily say something like "See, that's how people were living before christianity. They were commiting a lot of mortal sins, doing things that go against nature and God! That's why God had to send his son Jesus to save us all from eternal damnation." |
