Xena complete 6 seasons collection. Includes every episode in the series. Review: A Fans Collection - Xena and Gabrielle - There's not much detail here with regards to this set, so I thought I'd supply what I've been able to find out (basically, what Creation has published). What we have here is basically a "fan's collection" of favorate Xena and Gabby "relationship" episodes. Thier mythology if you will. This seven disc collection includes episodes from each season of the series (and I have to agree that there are quite a few favorites included here) : Callisto (from Season 1) - A GREAT Episode. Is There A Doctor In The House (from Season 1) A Day In The Life (from Season 2) - One of the most popular. Been There Done That(from Season 3) The Bitter Suite (from Season 3) - The musical episode. One Against An Army (from Season 3) The Ides Of March (from Season 4) Fallen Angel (from Season 5) Lyre, Lyre, Hearts On Fire (from Season 5) Amphipolis Under Siege (from Season 5) Motherhood (from Season 5) Old Ares Had A Farm (from Season 6)- Featuring a great supporting performance by the late Kevin Smith. When Fates Collide (from Season 6) Many Happy Returns (from Season 6) A Friend In Need Parts 1 and 2 (the finale from Season 6) More Details : Original Full-Frame Presentation. 2005 10th Anniversary Xena Convention: This is a yearly Creation Entertainment Event and an outstandingly fun time. Both Lucy and Renee participate. Comic Relief - First time interview with actor Robert Trebor on his character Salmonius. Xena's Hong Kong Origins - Explore the influence on the style and action of Xena by Hong Kong action movies with the show's creators Rob Tapert, Liz Friedman, David Pollison and Doug Lefler. Mythology vs. Xena - Alexandra Tydings and others talk about her Mythological character, Aphrodite in both Xena and Hercules. Alex is a frequent convention guest and a very good actor who seems to appreciate her fans. Nice to see her included here. Seeing Double - Zoe Bell talks about being a female stunt woman and her experiences working on Xena. Extras: A documentary - Explore the life of an extra on the set and at home in New Zealand while working on the production of Xena: Warrior Princess. There are also some fan contest items that to me seem like a lot of filler, but the fans they feature are sure to enjoy them. All and all, this seems a good set. Enjoy. Regards, turtlex Review: 100% satisfaction - My wife and I became Xena fans when this show was on the air. I devoured Greek myths as a kid, my wife doesn't know how to spell myth, so this show appeals to a wide audience. I thank God that the gods were regulars on the show unlike Petersen's Troy which destroyed that movie experience for me. The gods in Xena seemed true to my earlier readings. Xena is not Masterpiece Theatre but its far more watchable than 90% of current TV, the episodes are visually rich and timeless. The show somehow pulls off a rich soup of ingredients from morality play to comedy and slapstick. Xena's stuggle to atone for her villainous past. Testing of Gabrielle's bountiful optimism. Joxer's plain silliness. Almost every device (gods, demons, heroes and villains) that still haunts me from Greek myths and ancient European history is found in one or more episodes. In short, Xena then and now is great entertainment, they just don't make shows like this anymore. In regards to discs and packaging, I tested every disc soon after arrival and found to each be sound. This was a high speed disc integrity check not by watching, though I have watched about half of the episodes by now. This is a high quality professionally made product.

Amazing and funny
In many ways Xena is more of a TV icon than Hercules was. The show had something for all audiences and the cast is great. Throughout the series you learn of Xena's past and how she learned her devestating combat skills. The show is filled with comedy and drama in equal abbundance and any fan of Hercules may even enjoy this show more than Hercules. For the male audience, whats not to enjoy? The most beautiful women on tv make frequent appearances on this show AND Hercules. For the female audience there is all the lovey mushy stuff as well as two female heroes. Which brings me to Gabriel, she goes from defensles peasent to being able to whoop whole sale butt half way through the series and you watch her evolve to that. Look past the mostly hokey special effects and you will see one of the most entertaining shows ever broadcast.

Just watched all these loved em wishing for more seasons, without being a spoiler id like to say shes got out of trickier jams and id like to see another 4 seasons please (if not more^^). As to the box set i got one slightly damaged corner but not worried there, dvds were all fine and for a change all the cases were fine too as ive had damaged cases and disc holders in other box sets. the box sets cool box is card but love the way it opens up and the click as you close it. As someone else pointed out could have done with the Hercules episodes / films as there was some discontinuity in the calisto story line and as this is supposed to be the ultimate collection you would expect to have everything Xena was in inside. This isnt huge prob but is annoying speacially as i now have Xena and Gaby mania, heck id buy the hercules box set but there doesnt seem to be one i also cant seem to see a complete selection of the various seasons of hercules either , hopeing in time there will be and can complete my ultimate Xena box set by adding the begining and middle bits that are in hercules. Still that being said its awesome entertainment and excellent value. Epsodes can go from action packed seriousness with real emotion drawn, torn and ripped from those watching. To comedy style episodes which are also brilliantly entertaining to watch. Then theres the musical episodes which took me a little off guard at first but are Great, better than most of the rubbish "singers" ive heard lately on radio and tv. Now just left hopeing for some more, still in the meantime i will rewatch this awesome series at a slightly slower pace, as first time round i just inhaled it all pretty much none stop with the occasional trip to the kitchen and toilet. I encourage anyone and everyone to watch this you cant help but love it.

Apparue au départ lors d’une trilogie d’épisodes de la première saison de son confrère « Hercule », rien ne prédestinait la femme qui nous était présentée, à devenir l’héroïne de sa propre série. Initialement traitée comme un personnage secondaire, elle aurait dû disparaitre dans le troisième épisode, mais constatant son énorme succès auprès du public américain, les producteurs décident de faire machine arrière et lancent une série dérivée basée sur ses aventures. L’histoire évoque dès le premier épisode de son show, un personnage en quête de rédemption, Xena décide de faire le bien et ne ménage pas ses efforts pour sauver les gens qu’elle rencontre au cours de son voyage, elle est aidée par son alliée, Gabrielle, qui deviendra sa meilleure amie. Créée en 1995 par le duo Robert TAPERT et John SCHULIAN, également produite par le célèbre réalisateur Sam RAIMI, « Xena Princesse Guerrière » surpassera sa série mère en termes d’audiences et surtout en popularité. Le coffret est un import Anglais, simplement en carton, dommage qu’il ne soit pas plus épais, mais il est pratique et contient les six saisons, avec 6 disques répartis dans chaque saison, ce qui amène à un total de 36 DVD. Côté son, il y a seulement de l’audio Anglais, aucune version française n’est disponible et il n’y a également aucun sous-titres, ni en Français ni en Anglais, ce qui est un peu gênant au début, mais c’est un bon moyen pour se perfectionner dans la langue d’Albion. Le tout dans deux gros boitiers en plastique, le premier renfermant les trois premières saisons et le deuxième renfermant les trois dernières, ce qui n’est guère pratique pour attraper les disques, mais ces derniers tiennent solidement et le support est détachable du boitier, si l’on souhaite se dégager un peu d’espace, mis à part ce choix inesthétique, le reste est parfait et la qualité de la série l’emporte sur le reste. J’ai pris cette intégrale pour profiter de la VO, donc aucun regret. Pendant ses six années de production, la série propose une approche plus humaine et plus réaliste que sa série sœur et confronte régulièrement ses protagonistes, face à leurs multiples facettes. En mettant l’accent principalement sur une psychologie plus fouillée de ses principaux personnages, les intrigues donnent lieu à des variations tantôt basées sur des revirements comiques, qui aboutiront à des épisodes complétement fous, tandis que des situations tragiques mèneront à des conclusions douces-amères qui ne manqueront pas d’émouvoir le spectateur. Autre atout, sa galerie de personnages secondaires terriblement attachants, avec des amis comme Joxer ou Autolycos, ou encore des ennemis particulièrement intéressants, où figurent Calysto, Arès ou l’Empereur Jules César. Sans oublier, des apparitions récurrentes de celui par lequel tout a commencé, Hercule, ainsi que de son meilleur ami, Iolas. L’attrait principal résidant dans ses deux interprètes principaux, il fallait deux actrices confirmées afin de faire ressortir correctement leur caractère respectif, mais aussi montrer leurs failles intérieures, ce qui contribua grandement à préserver la cohésion et la continuité de la série sur la durée. Lucy LAWLESS incarne à la perfection le rôle-titre, Xena, cette Princesse qui retrouve le droit chemin après sa rencontre avec Hercule et fait prévaloir son courage et sa force morale afin d’aider son prochain. Actrice aux multiples talents et dotée d’un charisme qui explose le petit écran, elle assure autant dans les scènes de combat, grâce à son physique d’1m80, que dans la retranscription de multiples émotions. La comédienne revient dans un rôle de premier plan en 2005, dans la populaire série de SF « Battlestar Galactica », elle enchaine ensuite en 2010 avec « Spartacus », la série Péplum qui retrace le destin des Gladiateurs et enfin, à partir de 2015, dans la série « Ash Vs Evil Dead » où elle retrouve un acteur qu’elle connaît bien, Bruce CAMPBELL, qui officiait à ses côtés dans Xena. A l’opposée, on retrouve la douce Gabrielle, interprétée par Renée O’CONNOR, amatrice de contes et de légendes, cette fille de fermier suivra Xena, après que cette dernière l’ait sauvée, elle et son village, de l’attaque d’un seigneur de guerre. De prime abord, assez innocente, son admiration pour Xena, la poussera à évoluer et à se dépasser, devenant d’une complémentarité nécessaire et indispensable dans certaines aventures. L’actrice affiche un jeu surfant sur de nombreuses gammes, n’en faisant jamais trop et rendant crédible la mutation de son personnage qui s’effectue sous les yeux témoins des spectateurs, au fil du temps. Devenue culte dès sa première apparition sur le petit écran, la série n’a rien perdu de sa force de frappe, 24 ans après sa création. Passionnante à suivre pour de nombreuses raisons, le genre qu’elle représente baigne dans le fantasy/fantastique, l’époque suivie est la Grèce Antique, ce qui amène directement à la mythologie Grecque et toutes ses influences, le tournage effectué en Nouvelle-Zélande renvoie à de merveilleux paysages sublimement filmés et les intrigues sont tellement diversifiées qu’elles s’apparentent à des montagnes russes. Mais sa véritable force demeure avant tout les personnages, deux femmes en têtes d’affiches, aussi opposées que complémentaires, elles sont fortes, indépendantes, mais sont aussi faillibles, ce qui les rend très humaines, elles essayent de garder le cap, tout en évoluant durablement au cours des six saisons du show, jusqu’au double épisode final, dont les fans auront une opinion mitigée. Reste une série considérée à juste titre comme une des meilleures du genre, tant par le public que par les critiques, c’est assez rare pour le souligner et qui a marqué la culture populaire de son empreinte. Surtout pas de remake ou autre reboot, la série est parfaite et inoubliable.
