It has been FOREVER since I watched the show…

I watched Xena with my grandmother when I was younger, and I loved the show so much. I decided to start binge watching it and I just realized you don’t see Hercules till five in the show. I always thought that he was in it more often for some reason. I also thought Aries was in it a lot more than he has been. It’s crazy what time does to your memories!

I watched originally as well. I remembered Joxer, ‘Dite, and Ares, being in nearly every episode. Turns out, they weren’t, they were just the sillier and extremely memorable scenes for me.
Also, Herc was in season one, if I recall (too lazy to search it). I think it was Xena because I remember Gabrielle in blue looking like she was 12, and I don’t actually remember her going over to Herc. It was the one iolus was injured and dying because humans couldn’t heal themselves. Xena and Herc had to free a titan. Man, binge watching does the same thing as the years — it all bleeds together, but only after a few months!

Maybe because both shows aired at the same time?

I remember the titan (apparently Prometheus) and have since I was a child because I honestly thought it was Yul Brenners’ son for some reason.

I'm currently watching the whole series again for the first time in like 15 years. I'm paying more attention to the Xena Gabrielle subtext this time, and damn, they were laying it on thick lol

Same here. I'm rewatching for the first time in 20 years. Even though it has always been my favourite. Maybe I thought it wasn't going to be as good today as I remembered when I was a teenager. But for the love of god's I was so wrong 😅. I'm loving it. I can also see a lot more subtext now!

Same, I seem to remember Autolycus and Salmoneus also being in far more episodes than they actually were.
Scrubla@reddit
Same with Salmoneus and Autolycus! I remembered them being in way more episodes.

I wish we would’ve gotten more Salmoneus! And maybe an explanation of what happened to them after the time skip.

I just started watching it again on amazon prime. Haven't seen it since it went off the air.

I think Xena and the gang popped up in Hercules way more often than Hercules appeared on Xena.
koiivy@reddit
He’s in “Prometheus”, Xena season 1. Xena is in more Hercules episodes. I love the crossovers.

I watched this show all the time as a kid as well. It’s familiar but it’s not like I remember singular episodes. I’ve definitely been enjoying the rewatch, though.
